We know about things like FFP and home grown talent. But the teams at the bottom of the table generally come up one season from the Championship and then go down the next season.
How would you change this? Or should it be changed?
I still think City are going to be hard to beat this season which would make it about a million league titles in a row. It’s fair but is it ‘fair’ to all the other teams in the bottom half?
Unpopular view maybe but limit the number of foreign player to 12 per club. Introduce a rule whereby a percentage of players must come through each club’s academy. All this to develop more home grown players
The easy answer is a 50+1 rule along with a well enforced salary cap, but it’s naivete to think the PL management would enforce these given just how much revenue the current model generates.
Do something about the offside rule. How the fuck an attacker can be offside by a hand or a shoulder or a toe is ridiculous. And bring in some technology that can distinguish an offside clearly, and ensure that that technology is used properly.
Add a new card called the orange card, or something. It’s in between a yellow and a red. It means that you get suspended from the next match (sort of like accumulating too many yellow cards) but you can stay in that match. Or vice versa. I don’t know
All money earned as a league is divided equally.
Teams can keep their own money for sponsorships and whatever so it’s still advantageous for the bigger clubs but everything else is divided as a partnership of 20.
This isn’t something that would make it more even but making fouls in the box that weren’t like in on goal penalties indirect free kicks would make footy in general extremely more fun and satisfying.
I wish that FIFA would implement some sort of salary cap, to be applied in every single FIFA league around the world.
