Sporting Life - Lord Burns Recommends England Football Shakedown
English Football has come into the spotlight once again in another shakedown recommendation by a suit and tie, this time through Lord Barns who proposed widescale reforms regarding the running of English football. Disciplinary problems were a main concern apparently.
England blog comment >> Agreed there are problems with English football. However, stricter regulations and disciplinary measures will take the shape of fines. Thereby allowing by simple virtue of cashflow, the larger teams to misbehave more than the smaller, cash-strapped clubs.
We see the issueing across the board of yellow cards for pretty much nothing more than players celebrating a goal. Simply put, the larger clubs are less bothered by yellow cards than the smaller teams, because the larger sides have bigger squads and are clearly not as adversely affected by key players being suspended.
The stupid rule of "passive offside" ie, not interfeing with play ~ WTF? ~ suits the larger clubs who can adopt a more attacking style due to the quality of their players. The "Champions league" for the select few who can get in brings in vast revenue. 16 possible games of "Champions LEAGUE" football is almost half a premier season, therefore the smaller clubs fall further behind financially and so it goes on.
I could go on all day and night about the larger clubs and how English and Euro football is simply by design set up to favour the larger clubs. However, I won't, because I am bored with the blatantness of it all.
To End >> Lord Burns won't know how his recommendations will be adopted to "suit", so the larger clubs, most likely because he is just a "suit", not a football fan. If he knows his football, he is simply a part of the big club game of getting larger and larger at the expense of the smaller clubs.

Lord Burns, who is currently compiling a Government backed report into the future structure of the Football Association, called for the setting up of a single semi-autonomous "regulation and compliance unit". (a big club geared shakedown crew I bet)..Lord Burns wants to see the FA strengthen its grip on English football's standing in the world game especially with UEFA and FIFA and retain control of the new Wembley stadium
