Ed 002 just quick question can you see the 5 subs being reintroduced again thanks for reply.

{Ed002's Note - It is possible but there remains a split between clubs and the vote has already failed twice - raising it again without knowing it will pass makes no sense. Some clubs remain hard over against it, but I think common sense needs to win out. So it remains a maybe - but the clubs will discuss it again this week.}

I just think and am speaking on everton we need it an only reason i say it is due to our last 3 games different approach if we are chasing games.

{Ed002's Note - It would require five teams to change their vote.}

We struggle to have three decent subs never mind five.
So we will reach a point we’re we can basically sub half the team. What next time outs and managers challenges?
Whatever happened to football?

I think common sense is sticking to the three sub rule, allowing 5 certainly helps the bigger teams who have a strong bench.

Agree bignev - clearly benefits the teams with big decent squads.
Can see what teams are saying regard fixture congestion but is it as bad as they’re making out? There’s always been midweek european fixtures.

Also if these supposed elite athletes are struggling to play 2 games a week or whatever then maybe they’re not in the right occupation?

They are paid handsomely to play a game we all love, have very little responsibility and have meals, training regimes etc all laid out for them - are the injuries because of conjested fixtures or the fitness regimes of clubs and players own lack of personal responsibility regarding their own fitness?

i am with Gingerdan i always get wound up by this its hard to play 2 games in a week and you have to take travel into account i know a 60 year old fella who used to work full time play 3 times during the week and sat and Sun and i want to add something else in what about the lads who travel to every home and away game while working full time and playing football at the weekend all travelling by the cheapest way poss while footballers all travel first class and all they have to do is a couple of hours a day at training turn up and play 2 games a week it doesn't stick with me i'm afraid they need to realise they have the greatest and easiest job in the world.
