When Football resumes..

[splott parker]

They have to finish this season, even if it is October. Too many games have been played. Next season can be cancelled and replaced with mini-leagues, 3 PL teams, 3 Championship, 3 League One and 3 League Two type format.

Explain the format, don’t quite get it, only 12 teams competing?

Sorry - maybe not exactly 12 teams in a league, but multiple leagues.

So, for example

League
Newcastle
Norwich
Man United
Leeds United
Cardiff
Charlton
Stanley
Doncaster
Peterborough
Newport
Carlisle
Crewe

There'd be a few leagues set up like this.

Gate receipts shared 40% - 40% with the other 20% going to a hardship fund.

Maybe the winning team from each league then plays a playoff with the games at Wembley. A bit like that Centenary tournament that took place in 1988.

These leagues would take the place of the "missing" 2020/21 season and ensure that clubs lower down the pyramid get a share of money. Problem could be attendance and weakened sides, but I'm just hoping there is a festival atmosphere once this is all over and everybody will work together to get us back on our feet.

I know it's impossible, football will retain its greed. My idea is simply to give smaller clubs a share of the top clubs' money.

I like the idea

After WW2, there was a season of regional football. My idea is based on that but, obviously, we won't be facing fuel rations so we are not limited to regions. If Accrington Stanley could get 3 highly paid away trips, for example, it could keep them afloat. I don't get why next season starting is more important than this season concluding.
