i think I know what you mean, it’s like people saying Christmas needs changing. It’s fine the way it is.
I do think some things can be done better. But if we’re talking about league structures and the football pyramid I think it’s fine. The only thing that’s problematic is the amount of money at the top and how hard it is for small teams to do well. One thing the Gary Nevilles and Jamie Carraghers didn’t get quite right is while there is competition as in 11v11 each match, the 11 man city get to put out is way better that it almost feels like the result is inevitable. I think equality measures such as the top clubs helping out lower leagues not in direct competition with them would bring up the standard and give them a better chance. In turn this would create better players that would also filter up to mid table clubs like a Southampton or Leeds in the prem.
Absolutely things can be done better. The money spent on players and agents is obscene for a start.
Let's look at Burnley, for example. It's a town that's pretty poor. It's a town that loves it's football and it's club. Burnley have been living the 'dream' over the last few years, raking in hundreds of millions.
Where has this money gone? Has it rejuvenated their facilities and helped their town become a better place? Has it heck. It's gone into the pockets of players and agents, mainly.
A rule forcing Premer League clubs to spend x% annually on community and/or infrastructure development would be great imo. Not a token gesture, make it 25% of tv money.
Wage cap - you can pay players whatever you want, but it cannot exceed 75% of tv revenue. We all know that the more you're on tv, the more money you get, so the kopites, for example, would still be operating on a 'bigger' level than Southampton, for instance. This allows the owners, to have their noses in the trough also, as merchandise and matchday revenue is basically theirs.
There's many, many ways the game can get better, but that's not what these people want.
