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?
- A 0-0 Draw gives each team no points. If you don’t score, you shouldn’t get points.
- Any game where you score 3 or more goals, you get 1 extra point regardless of outcome. (Would have to make a rule about teams agreeing to not just concede 3 goals each to start the game) Maybe this one isn’t workable
- Luxury Tax. PL sets a cap on Transfer Spends and Wages, and any money spent over that amount gets “taxed” by 25% or so. That money should flow down to smaller teams to even out the massive wage gaps. American Sports are so much better at making the league competitive for all but the absolute smallest markets. It’s lame that the big 6 have such a big monopoly on titles now, and it’s unlikely to get much better. Leicester gives us hope that smaller teams can win it all, but it’s probably not happening.
The first thing I would do is actually scrap FFP. It creates an uneven playing field by design.
I would definitely introduce a wage cap to some extent. I’d like to think it would prevent players leaving “smaller” clubs to join smaller clubs to sit on the bench (Kalvin Philips for example). Say if there was a particular wage cap but you were allowed 2 players over the cap.
Unfortunately this is the way it is now with the new super club model that Real Madrid and Chelsea started 20 years ago, I’m Scottish and it’s been 30 years since the title left the old firm and it looks like the premiership is heading in the same direction, only 7 teams winning the league in the 30 years (21 of them between 2 clubs) since the rebranding to the premiership in the 92-93 season Man United 14, Man City 7, Chelsea 5 Arsenal 3, Liverpool 1, Blackburn 1 and Leicester City 1
Instead of individual shirt sponsors and kit manufacturers, have a collective sponsor/manufacturer. The money gets split evenly between the 20 teams. I think a kit manufacturer would be more feesible.
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.
Ban owners from paying refs to work in other leagues.
Salary structure like the nfl
Salary caps for players and managers-Specifically!
Percentage of the club has to be UK owned. Say 25% minimum (I’m also open to 50%).
Salary cap; no sponsorships related to owners or affiliates of them; Transfer fee tax (% of every transfer fee into a pool that‘s distributed to all leagues eaually);
Erling Haaland must play whilst hopping on one foot. If both feet touch the ground at the same time, he has to sit in the penalty box for three minutes.
Stop letting city corrupt the refs making decisions in their favor in every game.
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
No state funded clubs allowed, also complete overhaul of the refereeing system
Get rid of PGMOL and have indifferent refs that are not all from the Manchester area
