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?
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
One kinda stands out, but it hurts.
Ban foreign ownership.
Points bonus for the team who receives the most apologies from PGMOL.
Make a small % of each club’s wage bill payable as a fee to a treasury pool. That treasury pool is then split evenly and distributed to all 20 teams.
Basically lower budget teams will get a top up, higher budget teams will help fund others.
Its fair as it is now to the bottom teams
Way too many examples of successful promotions to consider even more rules to make things “even”
Will never happen but:
- Less substitutes
- Less champions league
- Only 2 players total allowed in or out on loan at any one time (exception to allow U23 academy products out on loan).
Prem continues during the international break.
Teams lower in the table are less likely to lose their players, so it would balance out the sides.
None. We don’t need more rules for City to breach and not get punished for.
Ffps bullshit they only sanction/punish who they want
i don’t necessarily agree with what i’m about to type but if you are really asking how to make the league more even then you must have
- revenue sharing with various models. bigger earning clubs will essentially partially “pay” the smaller clubs. and all clubs evenly share tv rights etc.
- hard wage cap.
- no guaranteed contracts - teams are free to release players without paying their remaining salaries.
again - i’m not suggesting/agreeing with them. just answering your question.
VAR the same as rugby
Power Play like they have for under 10s football. You get an extra player if you’re getting pumped.
Bin off VAR
A playoff/mini league between the teams in 6th - 13th for one of the Europa League spots so that the majority of the league table isn’t playing for nothing for the final 1/4 of every season and everyone (or at least most teams) get a shot at European football.
It’s not the PL that’s the issue, it’s the financial gap to the EFL. A stronger EFL means stronger promoted clubs at all levels, including the PL.
This is solved by more money going down the pyramid, and ending the EPPP.
