Dear Roy Keane

As @SuperTyke says, it was tried for a while. Scrapped by FIFA Seemingly because countries without a rugby culture couldn't get their heads around the concept.

 

I think it's time for a rethink.

 

our comments are interesting & I do not disagree with you but the way sky have brought their money into the game in the last 30 years has had a knock on effect which appears to have benefited the game , in the seventies & eighties pre sky the attendances were very poor at any level , from the old first division right down to the 4th , there is someone on my facebook who regularly posts the results from the " Green Un " from the seventies & eighties , which is a good read but I always look at the crowds & they are a real eye opener . It could be a number of things that have made the game more appealing, all seater stadiums , less hooligans plus match day experience in general , they are all possible reasons , I don"t know but certainly the influx of foreign stars into our game has been a positive & I doubt that would have happened without Sky . I personally think that Sky are really good for the game especially when you remember what happened to us when ITV pulled the plug ,but money distribution wants a complete revamp as does parachute payments & the running of both the Premier league & the EFL & until both bodies come up with a unified strategy to take the game forward then the only the rich will prosper & the the game in general will suffer.
