English National and International Football Organisation Plan

25.05.2021

Following the breakaway attempt by 12 leading English and European clubs, the Premier League and the Champions League and the Europa League no longer have a mandate to be, nor any long-term credibility for any kind of investment sustainability because the actual game of football and its interest as both a participating and spectator sport is not the current remit for marketing football as an entertainment.

Instead tertiary interests about the sport rather than the sport itself, are now the market product and with naturally disastrous results.

It is an entertainment product-marketing attempt to sell the Emperors New Clothes of the sport whilst taking the actual sport away and leaving just the marketing itself instead of the product.

Sooner or later that strategy is going to fail and it is now in the process of that farce, as witnessed by an attempted breakaway for a European League of total folly.

FIFA have already lost confidence in the World Cup evidenced in their continued meddling with the format, in progress at this moment

The introduction of the European Nations League; evidences the same lack of faith in the actual entertainment product.

The attempt to reduce the game further with VAR in order to make it a who-done-it trick-or-treat affair for real-time in and out of play betting, evidences malignant parasites intending to fleece the game of its status whilst milking football dry to international destruction.

The asset stripping and the spiral of debt and the financial greed are totally eclipsing the sport.

The English F.A. must radically re-think their very reason for being and whether to go down with the ship or mutiny or abandon ship.

This must be done with respect to being carbon footprint savvy and with respect to a Post-Covid awareness of real geography.


The New European and National League Plan

1. Ditch the Champions League and instead replace it with a 2-tier European National Winners League each comprising of 20 teams, with promotion and relegation between the two.

2. If Ajax finish bottom of the 1st league for example, the next Dutch champions go into the 2nd league the year after.

3. The national league champions of each European country go into either the first or the second European National Winners League for one season only and return to their national league at the end of that season, whatever the finish.

4. The new national league winners of each country then take their place.

5. This means no conflict of interest league-wise and an end to football club monopoly and it also means fresh European national winner leagues every season, so there is a lively product that has actual sense and meaning to it, thus it has sustainability and market value as that.

6. As part of a streamlining of competition formats post-Covid and also with respect to being carbon footprint friendly, all Eurasian countries and the Levant are excluded.

7. The countries of those regions have to accept responsibility for their geographic location and form a Eurasian Football Federation and a Levant Football Federation with their own competitions.

8.This means Ukraine in and Russia and Turkey and the rest of those regional teams excluded.

9. UEFA originally had 35 members this cuts it down to 48 (provisionally including Cyprus) so the bottom 16 minnow national league winners play qualifying rounds first to make up two European national winner leagues of 20 teams for the genuine champions of the geographic European national leagues.

10. If those nations excluded protest and UEFA attempts to block the plan then the nations of the European geographic region have the option of leaving UEFA and forming their own European Football Federation, thus taking full control of the European National Winners League as well as a new international competition for the national cup winners.

11.With respect to Kaliningrad, England does not play in the South American championships because of the Falkland Islands, so Russia as a Eurasian country can't get in via that wannabe route.

12. Israel is excluded as part of the Levant and The New European and National League Plan must not be compromised in any way by countries outside of the geographical area.

13. Football has suffered enough at the hands of politics and each country must take responsibility for its political affairs and not use football to claim European status when they have no geographical status as that.

14. The status of Cyprus cannot compromise the competition and if no agreement can be reached between any conflicting football interested parties then they are excluded from international European football competition until any agreement is confirmed.

15. In the case of any legal dispute arising from this ruling if Cyprus were excluded on the grounds of a legal challenge temporally interfering with Rule 14 then that legal dispute shall not interfere in any agreement that would compromise any inclusion of Cyprus in international European football nor in any way interfere with the temporal enactment of the competitions.

16. Russia is a vast country and does not bear any comparison with Cyprus by way of any legal challenge to equate one with the other and The New European and National League Plan reserves the right to make the final decision as to who can be included and who not, as an entertainment first and independent commercial enterprise.

17. This judgment respects the national and international governments and their political status regarding the geographical boundaries set by state.


The New World Cup and European Championships Plan

1. The World Cup and European Championships to be played locally on a knockout cup basis, with no regional qualifying.

2. No home and away fixtures or replays e.g. Guinea v. Germany round one etc.

3.The F.A. Cup has over 1500 entrants and yet its format fits an annual calendar so there should be no diary problems with respect to this.

4. The European Football Championships also to exclude the Eurasian countries and the Levant according to geographic location.

5.WC and EC played to be played alternate years.

6. This eliminates qualifying groups and gets straight to the action, in order to create exciting international football and good live TV all year round and every year and with market sustainability as that, for having a genuine sporting reason to its format.


The National Cup Winners Cup

1. The National Cup Winners Cup shall be an F.A. Cup-type European geographic area football knockout competition, played with the same rules as the WC and EC competitions.

2. It shall be invitation only to the cup winners of the European geographic nations.

3 .The teams playing in the European National Winners League can also play in this competition if they do the domestic double.

3. This has market sustainability as a genuine sporting product.

4. This competition replaces the Europa League and has lasting value for its sporting remit, in contrast to the Europa League, which has no actual sporting remit for its existence.


The League Cup

Abandon the league cup completely because again it has no real reason for it to be, sport-wise.


Financial Implications

1. Tiddlywinks is tiddlywinks and football is football so if that's the plan and the only plan then clubs plan to the plan and that's it.


Refereeing the competitions

All matches must be played according to English Football Association Rules including goal line technology but not VAR.


Betting Rules

1. No bets taken once the match has kicked off.

2. Any after-kick-off betting on the new football competitions to be made illegal in all countries as a condition of reception of broadcast product.

3. This reduces carbon footprint and betting addiction and puts football in a clean light, so good marketing strategy worldwide.

4. This takes out of the equation any suggestion of betting complicity in any in-play and out-of-play refereeing during the course of the match by whatever means of adjudication.


The Fan's Choice

1. All genuine football fans will have an interest in this plan for football, bar none.

2. Therefore the plan has market sustainability because the product i.e. the sport of football comes first.


Disclaimer

This is not a political blueprint for the future of football on behalf of any England or any other fan organization or political party and is solely the work of the author and is to be considered as a football fan-action conceptual artwork as extant in the public domain.

It is surprising just how much of this has been put forward by others involved in the game over the las few years - some real thought there mate

on a side note The League cup might be tiddly winks but it provides the EFL with around two thirds of it's TV revenues )because of Premier League clubs participation

[Pstotto]

The Football League Cup is really a parallel second-rate also ran competition that never really has any significant kudos and as merely an income generator for lower league clubs it doesn't have the game of football as its reason to be.

Of course one needs clubs to play football however if there is a plan then that's the plan and that's the club sport.

Wages now in the academic sector are minimum wage for international status applicants as a reference point to the current absurdity and hyper inflation of kicking a ball around in a field.

As such, it's not sustainable as a sporting entertainment product.

If there's a budget to run a club and there's wage money then that's the wage money for the players, tuppence even if that were the wage cash case and if you don't want the job don't apply.

It's may go full circle like that as an apotheosis and then crash of the Labour movement back to the beginning of the industrial revolution.

[Pstotto]

The conceptual artwork is not really any different than an applied maths A-level answer to a contingent agent inasmuch as given a morass of conflicting forces on the actual framework for the basis for a sustainable economic plan, the question arose as how to rationalize what the contingent agent actually was, because that was the actual entity around which the economic plan was based.

[Pstotto]

Do the double double, double double double double.

What greater football club glory?

To get to that level is a sustainable glory market.

I bet no club will ever achieve it.

[Pstotto]

"This is the thing about Europe, it's got a place and an identity, as a dialectic I can't see the Levant Federation and the Eurasian Federation as having more than local interest, however a Transasian Football Federation would suit that geographic region better."

[Chester Perry]

Am I right in thinking that you would stick Australia back with Oceania rather than the Asian federation they joined a few years ago?

[Pstotto]

Yes, if they followed suit and had a re-think perhaps.

I haven't divided that bit of the world up yet.

[Pstotto]

The Fan-Action Conceptual Artwork is therapy for me because I'm interested in football but it's been messing with my mind so I did the level thing and wrote what 10 years old kids might do in five minutes for their Subbuteo leagues to sort the mess out from the football.

It's a conceptual artwork because it's something normal to measure the mess, with.

It's also putting forward a concept, the concept of normality, in other words the level mind solution and the first thing is 'Where's the football"?

That was the first consideration because football was the subject of the consideration.

I've spent £10 today getting 50 copies printed and I've distributed a few.

It's the price of two pints of beer so instead of standing in a pub for 20 minutes and saying nothing and having a head full of tertiary babel about football culture, I sorted it out for myself and watch out anybody in the pub... The fog around the bar talk will soon clear.

The crisis is still there.

The Fan-Action Conceptual Artwork offers the contrast, as a model of good sense to gauge the muppetry going on.

[Pstotto]

With the creation of a Levant Federation and a Eurasian Federation then that is two more teams to make up a world club cup to be played annually on a knockout basis for the world federation winners only and this competition is allowed to be played concurrently with national league and cup competitions, as returning champions of Europe etc.

[CaptainKirk]

9 out of 11, now that is attention seeking par excellance!

[Pstotto]

Fan-Action.

Good idea.
