www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57678951Abolishing parachute payments is one of a number of reforms proposed by 10 English Football League clubs, led by Championship side Luton Town, hoping to make football fairer and sustainable. The 'Fair Game' group wants to see an independent regulator with powers to oversee the men's and women's game. A salary cap is also needed to address "revenue imbalance", the group said. "We need transparency. We need to incentivise good clubs," said one of Fair Game's ambassadors John Scales. Former Wimbledon, Liverpool and England defender Scales said it was vital EFL clubs "end the culture of gambling" with their finances.

Luton, with the average attendance of four men and a dog (not including the families who can look over their south stand from a second story window), begging for everyone to play fair.

This is disingenuous on the part of Luton. That's all I'll say.

It seems somewhat ironic that a sport that embodies the epitome of capitalism is advocating a salary cap, which is nothing short of a handicapping system for big clubs/rich owners
As noted above, if it were based on the old idea that revenue was based on attendance they'd struggle cope in this division

Race to the bottom, although the irony of Luton asking for financial reform isn't lost here.

If you get rid of parachute payments most clubs would be terrified of promotion. The PL woukd be even more of a closed shop than it us now. May as well abolish promotion altogether I'm not sure how that is reform.
Just dumb ideas.
