a lot of the ones already said
all cup tournaments to be straight knock-outs, none of this group-phrase crap champions cup, uefa cup, cw cup competitions back as were refs to enforce the obstruction rule also extra time to be taken out of the hands of refs use of video by fourth official to review/inform refs limit the number of foreign players set a quota for home-grown players reduce the size of squads introduce a version of ffp that works punish players retrospectively for simulation and dangerous play |

My serious suggestion is goal-line technology. A ball being over a line is an absolute - it's either over or it's not - so some sort of system on the goal line that sends a beep to the ref's ear when the ball crosses the line would be perfect. The same signal could be sent to the fourth official/tv station/rawk/spirit of shankly to rule out cheating by corrupt referees in the pay of SAF.
Video technology for fouls etc. wouldn't really work because people still argue about incidents even after a hundred replays. I picture 70,000 people sat waiting whilst Jamie Redknapp says 'there....there's the contact...'. |

Perhaps it is just me looking back with tinted glasses but as an era the mid to late 90's stands out for me as a golden age in European football, the great players were not stockpiled to the same extent, and the overall competition was stronger for it. |

a requirement for supporter ownership would be nice
and before jumping on this as pie-in-the-sky %@#$&!s consider that the bundesliga has had for many years a rule which requires 51% of every club to be owned by the supporters. if the will is there it can be done. similarly with rules regarding debt in germany. |

The European Cup was rubbish in the old format, hence why they changed the format in the first place. It could work as one huge knock-out competition similar to the FA Cup I suppose, but why bother?
And if you had just champions in a knock-out format these days it would be shown up by the uefa cup almost every single season - the uefa cup would be wall-to-wall on TV and dripping in cash, while Man City played Lech Poznan or some other shite in the EC q/f 2nd leg. The notion of 4th officials watching video replays of decisions is a joke, mostly suggested by people making money out of TV football and picked up mostly by armchair fans. TV does not show the full picture, simple as that. Even on that Newcastle goal the other day they didn't have a camera in quite the right place to show 100% whether or not the ball was over the line. Yes it would catch out the likes of the Zidane headbutt, but would you really want every single decision in a match like that - or any match - scrutinised by a TV ref? Of course not - especially if you've paid £40 to actually get off your arse and be at the game. Yes study a video after the game and impose retrospective sanctions for violent play, but other than that leave it well alone. A related rule I'd like added would be to kill anyone who compares football decision-making with rugby refs or £#%&!ing hawkeye - £#%&! off you @#%&!s. This obstruction one is mostly touted by people who don't actually understand the obstruction rule - you don't have to touch the ball to put yourself between it and an opponent. The problem is that referees don't punish a second movement by the player 'guarding' the ball, not the guarding itself. |

If a player gets sent off against your team, he should not be suspended for the next match, he should be suspended against your team the next time you play them, suspension carrying over regardless of club the player currently plays for. So it's a 3 game ban, he misses the next 3 games against you.
Playoffs. Give some tangible reward for league position. The team who finishes highest in the league should a) be able to select the opponent from the other 3 play off qualifying teams who they'd like to play b) if any play off game finishes as a draw, no extra time, no pelanties, the team who finished higher in the league wins the game, placing the onus on the team who finished lower to have to win the game outright to go through/gain promotion. |
