Day Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 What would you do to make football great again? 1x Live Premier League and Football League game to be televised on the BBC per week. All England fixtures at all levels to be shown on BBC. Scrap FFP, bring in squad salary caps at all levels of the club, first team, U23's and U18's, close off all loopholes where clubs can pay players through bonuses/outside advertising deals. Scrap parachute payments, pass that money down to the League 1 and 2, spread out equally between clubs. Cap ticket prices home and away, £30 Premier League, £20 Football League. Cup games £15, Quarter Finals £20, Semi Finals £25, Final £30. Reduce the percentage of corporate seating at Wembley. Bring back the old offside rule. Stop all thinking of sin bins. Leave ABBA in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Happens Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I'd keep FFP OR make the punishments for administration greater. What I would do though is allow a club owner to invest money in the club at any level he wants without it impacting FFP. So if the owner wants to fork out out of his own pocket then let him, if he 'loans' the club the money then it counts towards FFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GboroRam Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Bring back brown leather balls. Black leather boots. Go back to 70s and 80s style challenges on the goalie. 3pm kick-off for all games. Ticket price cap with prices starting at half what Daveo said, with a standing option. Bring back the football special services and make them really affordable. Dad and son at the game with transport and change from forty quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Happens Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Zero tolerance for cheating and time wasting. Make it only ref can stop a game for injury, if a player kicks the ball out deliberately book him. If a player is injured enough to have the game stopped he has to go off for a minimum of 2 minutes from the game starting again. This might help stop those faking injury to slow the game. If they are genuinely injured they shouldn't be able to start the game again as quick as they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoetheRam Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Clubs should only be able to field players born within 15 miles of their ground/within their county. Salary cap of twice minimum wage. Ticket prices should be available for the equivalent of two hours of work at minimum wage. Standing areas. Abolish the transfer windows - name your 25 players for the next season and stick with it. Same for managers. All games kick off at Saturday 3pm/Tuesday 8pm. Only the FA Cup final, all England matches and English teams in Europe to be televised live. For free. Barry Davies to commentate. No pundits. MOTD to be presented by Des Lynam. Only England and the FA Cup final to be played at Wembley. Only one player per team to be permitted to wear white boots. Shirt numbers 1-11 only. No names. Five substitutes on the bench, only three can appear. Dissolve FIFA, UEFA and the FA. Start again. No corporate hospitality at grounds. Flat caps and suits compulsory for all attendees. Get rid of the notion that all fouls are yellow cards. Double footed lunges and tackles from behind allowed as long as the ball is played first. Diving to be punishable by a year long ban. Second offence equals lifetime ban. No visible tattoos. Unless you're your clubs designated hardman and you have a skinhead and wear no shinnies. Clubs to be forced to invest any profit generated into the local grassroots scene, which would be in their interest, given my first point. Players can only play for their country of birth or country of their parents birth. None of this naturalised after 5 years/great grandparents nonsense. Technology to be for goal-line decisions only. No gambling sponsorship. OK I got a bit carried away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariotofmyown Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 3 hours ago, needles said: Ban loans completely, except emergency goalkeeper loans. Scrap the transfer window system. This would make a huge amount of difference. It's a joke that clubs like Chelsea can hoover up any talent from around the world and then send them all out on loan. These players should be owned by the smaller teams who get the payday when the time comes. A Chelsea fan I know also hates that all the kids disappear never to play again and I imagine he is not alone in this view. So this could even be a popular move from the rich club fan too. Also unfair that some teams prosper from the loans system where others don't. Including us when Steve Mac could attract loanees due to his background.

The end of the orange booted Brazilian born Spanish international blatantly telling the ref to fook off because that dive didn't win a penalty and now he's running his Nivea sponsored hand through his Head and Shoulders sponsored hair while he watches the replay being played on the giant screen that also goes out on BT Sport PPV on a Thursday night. The games needs a good two footed tackle to the throat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
