Is the premiership getting boring?

Is money ruining the game?

Whether you agree or not it maybe fun to suggest some changes to the system that has served us well for the past 14 years.

. The transfer cap. A suggestion which will work for the future but will need the support of football internationally. The idea? No more than £30 million spent a year. Maybe more, maybe less. The idea will mean the top clubs could really be anyone because there are a large number of clubs that can afford £30 million in players. The problems? Well this will have to apply internationally to avoid the premiership losing the top players and, of course, it doesn't really work for today. It means Chelsea's 300 mil team cannot be matched until their players get elderly and retire.

. The wage cap. Again this will require an international deal, but preventing too high wages will stop only the really big clubs getting the really big players. But isn't this bullying teams like Chelsea and Arsenal?

. Wenger suggested today a extra way of gaining points. And this could be ideal. Wenger's suggestion revolves around gaining extra points per game. This is technically a solid idea but perhaps this should be acchieved at the end of the year.

The team that has scored the most goals in the season will gain extra points. As will most clean sheets. Least goals against. Top player of the season. Extra points for game of the season. etc... etc...

This could get silly so will need restraining but, in a Mario PArty type way, this could keep the premiership exciting.

Four points for a win? They only upgraded to three points following a lack of goals and attacking play, how about another point as incentive?

Not often i agree with Wenger but i agree with him on the points for goals basis. Every goal you score should be worth an extra point. It'll hopefully make teams far more inclined to attack rather than sit back and defend or if they go 1-0 up actually go out and try to get another rather than shut up shop at the back

If there are changes to points scoring then they'd have to be black and white - for example most goals scored and most clean sheets are easy to see, where as player of the season is just an opinion which people will disagree on.

Although I generally disagree with the whole boring notion, if you want to see more goals you could change things so that a 0-0 draw is worth no points.
