Team (squad) limits... 250 million quid...(Prem varying for lower leagues)

Salary caps (Team limit)... 50/60 million quid...

Could reduce ticket prices for the fans... more reliance on sponsorship/advertising...

Any superstars/egoists who refuse to play within the salary cap... show them where the dole queue is ...

Get back to the beautifull fair game...

Winning leagues and cups would still be the same ...but more open

I know what you are saying but that takes a global agreement.

Oh I am under no illusion it will ever happen, not with the greed involved... but it is only going to get worse... that Euro super league will happen, eventually, if something is not done to redress the balance mate .

Since when has sport not been about greed.

In tbe early days games were arranged do people could bet on the outcome.

THAT is what drives the modern game too.

Getting back to football the two clubs I love to watch are the not so wealthy Leeds United & the extremely affluent Manchester City.

I'll probably watch one of the teatime games today & tomorrow but it wouldn't bother me if missed them.
