So, if this is a Martin Luther style reformation, you‘re proposing to just translate everything in to German, and take it from there?

Thought to, that‘s much more like it.

Bin FFP.
Bin parachute payments.
Bin VAR.
Bin U23s in the Football League Trophy (its purpose is for smaller clubs to win silverware).
Proper punishments to the likes of Derby who rip off the taxpayer, local businesses and charities.
Fewer international qualifiers and international breaks.
3 up/3 down in the National League/League Two.
No group stages in European competitions; make it a knockout tournament from the beginning again.

Does football need a reformation moment?

If a modern day Martin Luther was going to nail a declaration against the football authorities and where they're taking the game, what would the equivalent of the 95 Theses be?

And could fans unite around them?
I would support a maximum pay rule.
Reform is obviously needed when a footballer can earn more in a week than 10 nurses earn in a whole year.
Drop the pay and lower the price to go to games and watch on tv

First Team Squad
Goalies to wear green shirts (permitted exception - Plymouth, Celtic, FGR, etc).
No match tickets to cost more then 30 quid except FA/League Cup semi-finals and finals.
Owners of half and half scarves forced to watch the game in a pub half way between the two competing teams’ grounds.
Players to carry scruffy pieces of cardboard with the words “No you can’t“ to show kids with similar pieces of cardboard demanding their shirts.
Approximately 50% of Forest supporters to stop saying/writing Chris Woods with an s (permitted exception - referring to Peter Shilton’s deputy in 1977/78).
Match of the Day to stop captioning Alan Shearer with the meaningless statistic of “Premier League top scorer” unless accompanied by the words “but Jimmy Greaves scored about a hundred more top-flight goals” in bold.
The term Notts Forest to be punishable by a fine unless the user can prove they also say Mancs United, Totts Hotspur, Newcs United, etc.
 
Billy Connolly has a sketch about old age, change and moaning. He sums it up saying that all it comes down to is everyone wants everytying to return to how it was at their peak-youth.
That's increasingly what is happening on this forum.

Ironic, considering the lack of internet at those times.
