Bored sh!tless at work... Thought i'd see how everyone would change the game for the better if they had the power. Personally i'd like to see some of the below;
1.) I think introducing a salary cap would be too problematic when you consider all the international leagues. It would be easier to introduce a wage ceiling, most likely anchored in euro's or USD that no player can be paid above. This would negate any future market distortion from clubs such as city, scum, real madrid, psg et al.
2.) Players transfer fees should also have a ceiling. Say something like 300% of the remaining value of their contract.
3.) Players to not be able to sign contracts longer than 3 years (if i was a footballer i'd take the guardiola route and only sign 1 year contracts... gives you flexibility and empowers your choices).
4.) Follow the rugby path and allow no players to approach the referee. The game is ridiculous now with all the moaning. Automatic yellow for anyone that approaches the ref or assistant that isn't the captain.
5.) Post match punishments for diving. If it's not caught during the game a punishment should still be given. It's bringing the game into disrepute.
6.) Goal line technology. Footballs worth too much these days to allow human error to cost promotion, relegation etc:
Any other ideas? Fantasy really. Fun nonetheless. |  | | |  |

1. Let the physio come on withouth having to wait for the ref's approval, even if the ball is in play (so long as not inside the penalty box).
2. Stop making a player who has been treated go all the way off the field and on again.
3. If a player writhes around looking like he's at death's door before jumping back up when the ref ignores him, it should be permissable to give him something worth writhing around for.
4. Ban any club with a Russian owner

If I could change just one thing, I'd liquidate Chelsea.

I could go all night with this baby
Rules of the game:
- If you're offside you're offside. Stick this phases of play bullsht up your ars.
- Goal kicks must be taken from the side the ball goes out from, just like corners. Absolutely ridiculously simple change to make which would immediately cut time wasting by half.
- Switch to a rugby league method of time keeping whereby an official time keeper sits in the stand and the referee can call time off and on again when there is time wasting or injuries taking place. When time is up it's up. At the moment you can have a half with six subs, three goals, two injuries and a load of time wasting and it's still only 4 minutes added at the end because all they ever add is four minutes at the end. They've proven themselves incapable of keeping time so they shouldn't be allowed to do it any more.
- Goal line cameras to be introduced tomorrow.
- Managers get one challenge of a decision each per half a la NFL.
- Stop penalising great tackles that win the ball because some Arsenal player got their leg snapped by a horrendous tackle a few years ago.
- Stop penalising people for over celebrating. If you think they're wasting time or inciting the crowd, we already have rules to deal with that. Stop being a joyless fck.
- Likewise stop penalising people for taking their own free kicks too quickly. They've been sinned against, they should be rewarded.
- Mandatory suspensions to be abolished. Full time video review panel of ex-referees and players established to review all sendings off in the league that weekend and determine length of suspension ranging from 'sending off sufficient' up to an eight game ban for the most serious sht. Same video review panel to sit later in the week on potential incidents of diving and play acting with two match bans handed out.
- Captains only to speak to the referee, strictly enforced. Any player who concedes a free kick must then not touch the ball again, either to pick it up, stand in front of it or kick it away.
- Players should have their surnames on their shirt. Is your nickname Little Pea? Great. I don't give a fck, your actual name is Hernandez and that's what it will say on the back your shirt. With a proper fcking number as well, none of this 88, 99 fckwittery.
National team
- Managers must be qualified to manage the team in the same way as the players.
- Players should qualify to play for a country through their own place of birth or that of their parents. Not good enough for England but have a Scottish grandfather? Tough, no international football for you. Born in Senegal to Senegalese parents but good enough to play for France? Tough, Senegal or nothing for you.
- A ban on retirement from international football. If you're picked, you go.
- Midweek, midseason international friendly matches to be abolished. They served little purpose in the first place, and now as everybody pulls out they're completely pointless.
- Abolish the Confederations cup, it's an embarrassment. Move the African Nations Cup to the summer.
European competition
- Enter the Champions of each country into one straight knockout cup to determine the champion of European champions each season. Call this competition the European Cup. If you finish second, tough, you're not a champion. If you finish fourth you should be embarrassed to even think you can take part.
- Place the second, third and fourth teams in each country into a secondary competition called the UEFA Cup with ties played over two legs straight knockout.
- Place the cup winners from each country into a competition especially for them called the Cup Winners Cup with ties played over two legs straight knockout.
- Failing this give our third and fourth Champions League places to the winners of the League Cup and FA Cup. Problem of devalued cup competitions solved overnight, ridiculous situation where clubs like Liverpool are happy with fourth nullified.
Administration of the game
- Abolish FIFA completely. Root and branch review of overall game governance followed by a new organisation being formed. It's corrupt and not fit for purpose.
-
- A fit and proper owner test. One that actually does check if they're fit and proper and prevents them from taking over if they're not. Proving you've got some money does not make you fit and proper, particularly as it seems you can provide proof of funds even if you don't have any.
- Forbid the practice of buying a football club with loaned money and then lumping that debt onto the club — Glazers.
- Abolish transfer windows immediately.
- Reverse absolutely everything that was in the IPPP agreement on youth players and never mention the fcking thing again.
- Transfer fees for youth players poached by big clubs set at tribunals to actually reflect the transfer market.
- Clubs who sign five youth players from other clubs that fail to make a first team appearance within three years to be placed under total transfer embargo until two of said players have made ten appearances each. I'm looking at you Tottenham.
- Set down that at least 70% of a team's games each season must kick off at 3pm on a Saturday. That still leaves enough room for Sky to show four matches a weekend but would make them think more creatively about who to show so we don't have to watch Manchester UfkcingNited every fcking bstrd week.
- Forbid Sky from changing kick offs less than three months before the game is played. Cheap train tickets go on sale three months before the match, work holidays need to be booked, the kick off time should be set by then.
- 90% of all tickets to major domestic and European cup finals to be made available to supporters of the teams involved. The FIFA/UEFA/FA "family" can kiss my fcking ring. No ticket for any cup final to retail at any more than £50.
- Allow clubs to have terracing if they wish. Local council safety certificate argument is bolox, new Rugby league grounds are being opened in this country every year with very large, very full terracing — Warrington, Saints, Salford.

All sounds good Clive apart from it does get quite hot in Africa in the summer.
Hence absurdity that Qatar was awarded the World Cup then upon realising it too gets a tad warm out there in June/July, they moot to move it to January. FIFA=brainless idiots.

Clive, until it impacts QPR this is the bit that had me shouting "hear hear" the loudest!
THe European Cup used to be an awesome event played by Champions, the UEFA Cup was probably harder to win because it was being contested by teams that tended to be Champions in the season following being 2nd or 3rd. The Cup Winners Cup was a crock of sh1t, usually won by the English because no other country gave a toss about their domestic cup competitions.
Now we have a Champions League made up of so much (non Champions) rubbish that loads of the games are played to empty stadiums. And who wants to watch the Champions of Kazakhstan, let alone the 2nd place team? I'd rather watch non-league.
The UEFA Cup is garbage with teams in there based on discipline and coming 9th even if they finish bottom and get relegated. And then to add this farce, when teams get knocked out of the non-Champions League it has been decreed that they can have another go at European GLory via a different trophy. It's complete and utter bollox.
The other thing I would scrap immediately is that irritating music "the Champions" (is that what it says?) that plays at the beginning of every match. Alternatively they could add the words "and a bunch of other teams who aren't". | |

I'd deal with descent with the ref moving the free kick 10 yards towards the goal, if they keep gobbling off another 10 yards. Keeping going until they shut the f@@k up or until you get to the pen area and then it's a spot kick. Simple |  |
