Why the EPL and FA? They allow too many foreign players to play. Why the FA? they've taken the creativity out of the coaching setup by strictly controlling who gets badges and how they have to coach.

Radical change is needed, but we are controlled by prats in suits and the old boys club.

Agree completely. It can only get worse too. The week the Euro's started the EPL announced they have just sold their TV rights for the next three years for £3.02billion!!! The previous deal was worth £1.8billion.
