If you were in charge of football 19:56 - Jan 22 with 7952 viewsDr_Winston

What changes would you make? I'm talking dictator, top down control to do what you like. For me it'd be:

1. Swap football to the Summer. It's only played in the Winter now because people needed something to do when there was no Cricket (everyone else copied the English). A Feb - October season would be great. Most of the season played in warm weather.

2. Champions league should only be for Champions. Have a lesser competition for teams finishing in lower places. Reintroduce the Cup Winners Cup.

3. Remove FFP, but have a Global salary cap which affects teams rather than players. For example, Erling Haaland can be paid £500k per week, but Citeh's total wage bill can't exceed £200m. It'll be a nice battle between total squad strength and keeping star players on board. and should reintroduce a bit more competition.

4. (Might catch pelters for this one) End International football. Give it ten years and nobody would care that countries don't play each other any more. Maybe then a club World Cup would be worthwhile. Plus it would render FIFA completely pointless and that could never be a bad thing.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

The thread is about what changes you'd make to football, not history.

As the OP, I believe that I can state that with some certainty.

Ah, ok. care to comment, Kilkenny?

I won't hold my breath though.

PS, at least now it's clear which one of us is making things up...and it's not me

Well I'll let the thread starter decide that...is it about changing things that happened or did you mean rule changes? If I'm wrong I shall apologise to Kilkenny.

Yet again you fail to comprehend, I didn't mean they don't idolise Maradona, I meant they didn't care so much about beating England, there are countries closer to home the Argentines have much more competition with.


Google ‘Falklands’ and you might be surprised.

This is what the thread is about …..

‘What changes would you make? I'm talking dictator, top down control to do what you like.’

My suggested changes were to do with sporting integrity.
Correcting historical unfairness seemed important to me.

I accept what the OP says.
I wont lose any sleep though.

Can you name any dictator in history who has the power to change history? I don't mean re-write, I mean go back and change, jsut so you're clear..

Correcting historical unfairness yet you never went for the "Hand of God" but chose an attack on the English instead. There are many you could have chosen but it had to be the English who were the object of your "fairness"...yeah right, do us all a favour!

If the Doc has said I was wrong, I would have apologised but you are different gravy eh. Surely that is a strange attitude for someone so concerned with fairness?

Does that make you a hypocrite, a liar or both?

I have no idea what you are on about.

I have already taken time to explain my original thinking to you.
Thats it.

No, of course you don't.

Well before you make accusations in the future it might be better to be sure you are right. I know that'll be very hard for you but you should try.

Seriously now, I'm not making it up

Here's a new one. Outlaw "Football groups" or multi club ownership.

Any organisation or individual with a shareholding of greater than 10% in one club should be prohibited from owning more than 5% of another.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

I think I'd go even further and say having a financial interest in onbe club is all you are allowed.

Has this been said, I'd do away with transfer fees and have it so a player can only change clubs once per season but pay rises cannot be more than a club can afford and ALL financial dealings must be transparent and reguistered with the controlling body for permission or denial. No transfer windows either, you can move club at any time but you have to give a months notice.
