| Sorry Mikk your argument doesn't make any sense...
*Small teams, especially teams with ones with financial troubles want to draw the likes of Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal etc. It attracts more people to their games. Most of them know not all the big players will play, but one or two could feature, and sometimes that's worth the ticket fee alone.
*'Big Clubs' have every right to field whatever team they like. Some field weakened sides in the FA Cup, so should they be banned from that too?
*You suggest leaving side’s out of the competition. Who would you leave out? I'm sure Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea would still want to play in the competitions. The younger players (and managers too) see it as a shop window to impress other league managers who may be looking for loan signings.
*Registering players could work, but it's a lot of administrative work to do at the beginning of a competition. You also have to remember that some lower league clubs might not have 25 pros at the club in the first place. What do you do about that? You can't ask certain clubs to register players, and others not to. |
