The
Observer is reporting that radical changes are to be discussed
at the Premier League annual meeting as fears grow that there
are too many boring games.
One
of the suggestions is that Premiership clubs could receive
four points for an away win under plans to be discussed by
team bosses who want to make games more entertaining.
In
a briefing note to chairmen before this week's gathering,
Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore has listed
the many challenges that clubs face if the Premiership is
to safeguard its status as the world's most popular and most
lucrative league.
The
issues include 'quality of football - negativity, formations,
less attacking play' and what many clubs believe is the closely
related issue of 'competitiveness of the League - predictability,
including points structure'. The recent decline in the number
of away fans, the increased number of matches moved from Saturday
3pm kick-offs to suit television and negative impact of misbehaviour
by players and managers are also on the agenda.
