Football is a beautful game, but sometimes certain things drive you crazy. I’m not even going to get into the offside rule, but there are certain things that could be easily fixed.

I have listed below things that i would like to be brought into our game.

1) Just like a footballer can only play for 2 teams in one season, i would only allow clubs to have 2 managers in one season. Clubs can only sack one manager a season. There would of course be exceptions such as a manager being sacked for fighting or some other serious incident, but for pure footballing reasons, a club should only be allowed to sack one manager per season.

2) Towels on the touchline. I’ve seen it a few times now where the home team get the ball boys to give towels to their player who is taking a long through in, but when the away team has tried to get the same towel they haven’t been able to. If the ball is wet, just use your shirt.

There’s a number of cities that are almost 100% to be selected like London and Manchester (Wembley and Old Trafford), but then you have bids from cities like Newcastle and Sunderland where it gets a bit trickier. continue reading »
