How to Fix English Football (Thread):
1. 50+1 rule
Much has been made recently of 50+1 rule in recent days. The rule, which states club fans must own 50% + 1 shares, protects from outside investors hijacking the club’s decisions

2. 10-80-10 rule
Simply put, ticket prices are absurd. PL ticket prices have gone up 1000% in the past decade, and as a result match going fans are demographically older and richer. Solution
10% - give away to school kids
80%- sell to fans with a ÂŁ20 cap
10%-rich people

3. Free TV airing of CL, PL, and NT football
Much has changed over the past 20 years, with TV deal revenues skyrocketing. However, accessibility has dwindled. By putting big matches on free to air, more will be enticed to watch football like in the early 2000s with @itvfootbal

4. Lower league wealth redistribution
As we see now with Covid, teams in the lower leagues are struggling more than ever financially, unable to get anywhere near the PL TV $$. The solution? Redistribute 25% of PL TV revenue to the EFL and non league football

5. Wage caps
As we’ve seen, the top 6’s wage bill makes the the other clubs dwarf, creating a massive distance between the top 6 and the rest. By taking inspiration from Premiership Rugby, introducing a fixed wage cap would ensure competitive balance and sustainability

6. Get rid of multi-club ownership
We’ve seen Man City’s owners use NYCFC and Melbourne City, and Watford’s juggle around Granada, Udinese and Watford. By making it only one club for one owner, you ensure the independence and growth of each club as opposed to harboring then.

7. youth development incentives
Similarly to the German 6+5 rule, where 6 members of a starting XI in a Bundesliga side have to be hG in Germany, PL clubs should apply 6 players of a matchday squad must be homegrown. This would incentivize youth development inc. the big clubs
