International breaks are becoming a pain in the backside.
So millions of true fans should have to watch less football to help a few overpaid pre madonnas who might be feeling tired.
Dyke should return to planet earth.

Dear Greg Dyke:
Jump off a fucking cliff, and if you survive, jump off it again.
You cunt.
Yours sincerely, The British Public.

Doesn't matter that European competitions have gotten longer and generally bigger then? Every other week pretty much every England player flies off to Eastern Europe or Israel for a cup game midweek but its the extra game they play an hour a way from home thats causing the fatigue?

This guy is a total fuckwit.
it would not help the England team. The problem is there are too many average foreign players in the premier league, this move would not change that.
It would only make the league boring. Leagues with less than 20 teams are boring, including the bundesliga.
And why should premier league supporters sacrifice their club's status for the good of the England team? What does the England football team give back?
W have only ever been shit. They only ever know play for a bunch of corporate/southern tossers at Wembley. The team should be playing all around the country |

The simplest way of easing fixture congestion/player tiredness would be for the Europa League and Champions League becoming straight knock out tournaments with, perhaps, smaller countries playing earlier rounds and clubs in the big 5 leagues coming into the competitions in late September - similar to what happens in the FA Cup.
But money talks so that won't happen.

So someone in football makes a suggestion that he thinks may lead to improvement in English football and which he may be able to have some influence on. Our response is to release a tirade of insults and a series of vague suggestions in areas that are controlled by people outside this country. Surely he has a right to open up discussion? Or do we think everything is fine and dandy in English football?

No chance of this happening. Majority of the Premier League clubs would be against it, mainly because there's a higher chance they could be relegated and lose out money.
Football league clubs would also be against it, because it would be harder for them to break into the top flight and it would also affect the relegation and promotion places in each league.

For a long time, there was talk of premier league 1 & 2, both of 16 teams. Even though we were in the third tier at the time, we were apparently going to be one of the lucky 32.
Interesting how general opinion changes when you reach the promised land.

Re the effect of midweek European trips, larger squads mean that players now are rarely playing 60 games a season now whereas that was the case 30 years ago. Admittedly we won nothing at international level then either, but there was no noticeable improvement when English teams were banned in the eighties.

I think it's a great idea...
Providing the two teams taken out of the Premier League are Arsenal and Man Utd.

This will only benefit the big teams challenging in Europe.
For that reason I'm all for it after we do the cup double this season with the League & FA cup, we'll need the breaks.

Let's dance around the subject instead of dealing with it.
Simple solution to the England problem. Actively encourage clubs to produce more players and stop appointing yes men for the national team job.
First point, introduce rewards for clubs that blood and regularly play young british players from their academies.
Second point I'm at a loss with. They know the drill and they know what they do and why. We all do.

Greg Dyke strikes again. He's an idea machine, and every one worse than the last. He's a businessman and naturally he runs football as a business.
Dyke doesn't give a flying shit about the local fan, he never has, just like the Premier League don't. It's all about appealing to all those Arsenal supporters in Bangalore who continue to pay their tv subscription. Perhaps the drop in sky profits is worrying fat Greg. Who else is going pay for his Merc and 5 star hotels?

There should be a rule that the 7th sub on every bench is U-21 and been part of the academy set up at that club for at least a year.
Even that would limit the chances of English players mind as most people's academies are like the UN with how many countries are represented. But it would give pathways for young talent.

There are many good reasons to reduce it to 18 teams. But it just isn't going to happen when clubs hold the aces and it would mean less income.

A smaller league = more chance of relegation = more negative football & also = managers taking less chances with youngsters which is bad news for England.
