LPF Initiative for The Barclays Premier League

Do you think there's something obscene with a rich club buying up all the best players home and abroad then winning all the trophies? Is it through some great managerial skills? Brilliant man-management? Uncanny tactics and game-plan? B*llocks! It's money! How would the top four managers cope with managing a Stoke, a Middleborough or a Hull? Would they have done any better than the current managers with the same resources? Well let's find out. Why don't we introduce a Level Playing-Field (LPF) Initiative where each Premiership side has exactly the same amount of money to spend on players each year? Let's cap total spending for each club to say £50 million. Those clubs that cannot afford the £50 million would be assisted by the TV companies.

The advantages of this initiative are:

1. Curtail the flood of foreign imported players
2. Encourage home-grown players to come through the ranks
3. Strengthen clubs in lower divisions
4. Strengthen the national side
5. Provide more competition in the league and cup
6. Prevents the now monotonous and predictable Premiership 4-horse race
7. A club's achievements will utimately be based on a manager's skills
8. Increase the gates of all premiership teams
9. The morality of the initiative will encourage a fair-play attitude of players and teams

True sporting fans will welcome this initiative, and the game will regenerate at all levels across the country.

What do you think? Would you support this initiative? Let's hear your views!
