Football, like life, isn't perfect. There's a lot about the game that we adore, but there are more than a few things we'd fix if we could. So we asked some of our writers to tell us what they would change if they had the power.
Plus, we want to hear from you. Click here to vote on the change you'd most like to make and to suggest ideas of your own.
Gab Marcotti: Make public all wages, transfer fees and commissions paid (to whom and for what)
It's not just about the threat of corruption and bungs. It's about crowd-sourcing vigilance. Clubs will say it's commercially sensitive information but if it's all public, everybody is on equal footing.
If you accept that clubs aren't normal businesses but some form of public trust, it allows supporters and media to keep an eye on what is happening. Sunlight is always the best disinfectant. What's more, it would allow the analytics guys to actually figure out who is performing well and who is not; then the over-performers could get paid accordingly.
Iain Macintosh: End the current international break system
Nothing breaks up the excitement of a league season like international week. There's one in September, another in October, again in November and more during the second half of the season. Just when you're in a nice rhythm, everything stops for two weeks so that England can play Malta. It's a system that suits no-one. Clubs lose their players (sometimes for considerable periods if they get injured) and international managers don't get enough time to impose their ideas.
Wouldn't it be better to bundle these games and play them at one or two points in the year? Just imagine how much fun it would be if the qualifying campaigns were carried out over a single month in the summer -- it would be like another tournament. Managers would actually be able to build a team rather than hurling a selection of recently acquainted players onto the pitch. Perhaps two slots would work best, one in summer and one in winter. Far more sensible.
