Five Subs

[Risso]

I'm for it but I'd like some restrictions to ensure the extra spaces are used to bring youn players through. I'd also like to see limits on how many games players are allowed to play in.

The latter point is never going to happen, and nor should it.

We'll have rolling subs and 'special teams' next. They can get to fuck.

Will be terrible for killing any momentum in games in the last 10/15 mins like in the CL currently. Another incentive to be a squad player at title chasing sides. The biggest supporters of this don't even use three subs a lot of the time.

While obviously a dreadful idea, I confess to mild amusement at the idea of Man City, Barcelona and Paris St Germain all offering Rory Delap £500k a week to try to tempt him out of retirement.

Will they be restricted in the amount of times they can make the subs i.e 3 so that if you want to make 5 changes, you'll have to do double-substitutes?

Is the correct answer

It's a transparant change to appease the 'Big-6' teams and further tips the balance towards the haves over the have nots.

Many City will be able to change half their outfield players with world class talent.  Burnley (or other simiar teams) will have a bench full of journeyment and the kids who haven't been hoovered up by the rich clubs.

It's a fucking disgusting change and anyone proposing it or voting it through should hang their heads in shame.  Bastards.

I agree - stupid idea and disapointed were backing it

I have witnessed a 3 man change all in one hit, i wonder if a team would be brave to do a complete 5?

Having 7 subs with the ability to use 3 and 1 extra for medical reasons (concussion) surely is enough

Clearly smacks of assisting the larger squads and i am glad that Purslow voted against it originally (allegedly)

no change for me,if it didn't benifit the super 6, they would vote it down,

Much as what most of us here are saying, it benefits the big teams by allowing them to change the outcome of any game, if it's not going their their way with the starting 11 on the pitch.

Weren't subs initially allowed as back up for injuries during the game? 3 with 1 for concussion is more than enough.

This change may probably relegate nearly all 3 of newly promoted teams on a regular basis, as they are unlikely to have the squad depth/quality to compete, so much for healthy competition.

If they want to play fewer games, get rid of the Champions League Group Stage.

Oh well, at least Morgan and Kienan will still feel involved.
