I don't have a problem with a perfect pyramid scenario, nor the play-offs. Too many clubs can just up their budget, walk away with the league and leave everyone else with nothing to play for, it creates the right excitement.
Front loading has been a disaster in the sense hardly any league bothered with it and clubs are paying the price now. Like you, it HAS to happen next season, it's hardly rocket science.
I'm with you on this. Generally most of what they've done is a good thing but all has consequences they've not dealt with - including teams having to ground share because the alternative is no ambition.
I'm at a point where I want the FA to mandate front loading, have targets and fine leagues - and in time I'll settle down a but and be a bit more realistic. I just want the FA to follow things through.
Good piece Tom.
