If they really want to make football more exciting, they should get rid of points for wins and draws, and just base the league on goals scored. That would stop boring teams from getting anywhere, and reduce the importance of tactics. Wouldn't work in cups though...

Oh I don't know. I've found that generally the team that scores more in a cup game goes through.

Off the pitch: (all stolen from baseball)

Get rid of transfer fees, instead teams need to trade for players.

When a player does move he doesn't get to automatically negotiate a new contract, the team that trades for him takes him on the deal he's currently on. It's up to them to offer a new deal if they wish.

Put a system in place that allows clubs to control a youth player for the first four years from the time he makes his debut. Giving them some benefit for producing players.


On the pitch:

Get rid of offside.

TV replay available to Ref's. It's stupid to allow human error to decide a game.

Sin bin.

Agree with replays and possibly the sin bin, but I don't think getting rid of offside is a good idea. I think it would make teams far more defensive.
