"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Coach Jose Luis Sanchez Sola and Chivas USA have seen attendance drop dramatically during a losing season. (Victor Decolongon/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber denied reports that Chivas USA was for sale or in line for relocation, according to Grant Wahl of SI.com.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Mexican newspaper Record reports MLS is planning a buyout of Chivas USA owner Jorge Vergara, possibly against his wishes, according to the &lt;em&gt;Los Angeles Times&lt;/em&gt;. Chivas USA is drawing the league's worst attendance (8,035) while producing the Western Conference's worst record. The lack of Los Angeles-area television broadcasts has also hurt the franchise financially.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Times points to the lack of a local TV deal as an issue of compliance that could allow the league to force Vergara out, and possibly set up the franchise's relocation:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Media reports last month identified Mexican businessman Carlos Slim as a potential buyer of Chivas USA and Chivas of Guadalajara, the Mexican league team Vergara also owns. Record reported three weeks ago that such a deal, which would include the Mexican team's new state-of-the-art stadium, would be worth $700 million.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another possible scenario would see MLS brokering a deal for Chivas USA in order to move the franchise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;San Diego, Las Vegas, Phoenix and Florida have been speculated as possible destinations for the struggling team.\nhttps://twitter.com/GrantWahl/status/335432435124797441&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
