Five Substitute Rule

[Ruislip White]

Also means clubs will be less willing to offload squad players that we might have gone for.

Nine subs on the bench with three periods during a match plus half time when up to a total of 5 subs can be brought on, confirmed.

I really hate what modern football is becoming- it really is all so tiring. It really makes me wanna give up and support non-league. I hate indirectly supporting this stuff. It's only going to get worse if you saw what they're trying to do with the champions league places. These decisions being made above football fans heads are killing the competitive nature of English football and it's all so sickening.

Football is eating itself from within and is no
longer the beautiful game.

Yeah completely agree, the game does seem to be losing its soul

That would be a huge disadvantage for us. We will be lucky to have 11 players of Premier League quality. Most of the other teams will have much better squad depth

Agree with this.  Huge advantage for the bigger clubs.

Agree 100%.

I think the jury is in.  Dreadful manipulation of football.  Leicester broke the mould but gone are the days when another mid table team will rise to the top.  Teams like Nottingham Forest, Derby, Burnley Manu (haha) etc challenging for honours are gone.  I want Fulham to go up but a piece of me says not, the championship has more to offer.  eg  Luton now sitting 3rd, who would have thought. Good luck to them.

I also think the 'big 6' should be allowed to choose their kick off times and what day a game is played on. Given they're all generally playing in Europe, we need to safeguard the mental health of the players

[Grassy Noel]

The beautiful game is really moving on. I  relish the time when fans will be allowed to substitute the referee. It would require a real time poll and 50%+ majority of both sets of in-house supporters.

[Wolf]

Five sounds fine to me. I cannot empathise with people harking back to the days of one substitute as an injury replacement, when injuries were feigned and injured players were stuck out wide to limp around.

[ALG01]

Dreadful descision.
This is just to benifit the top few bigger richer clubs.

This change in rulkes has as much integrity as FIFA or the IOC.

[ron]

Still, in a world where a World Cup can be played in 40deg C heat in a dry, homophobic, misogynistic, modern slave labour state....slap bang in the middle of a European football season........what aren't football authorities capable of?

[Carborundum]

Cynical plan that takes two steps in the wrong direction.  Yes, it gives advantage to larger clubs. But the amount of bitty interruptions in the second half of games already irritates this paying spectator.  I'm there to watch football, not wingers jog walking to the opposite touchline or players looking for the most distant teammate to hand the captains armband to or going out of their way to thank the officials.

Unless it's Mitro and we are winning.

I share that sentiment
