An Open Letter to FIFA with Some Suggestions for how the Beautiful Game can be made Still More Beautiful.

Dear Sirs,

We at Liverpool Football Club are delighted to have taken part in your various tournaments over the past few months. We believe that you have a very entertaining spectacle in the sport of football, and we would like to suggest the following improvements to make the whole business even more enjoyable for all concerned.

1. This whole idea of the European Champions being allowed to compete in the Champions League regardless of where they finished in their own league should be rescinded with immediate effect. Let’s face it, anyone who finishes lower than Liverpool in the English Premier League doesn’t deserve a Champions League place. SIMPLE AS.
2. Where two players receive red cards for fighting, and they've got an important match coming up, these cards should be rescinded provided the players go to the referee after the match and explain that they were only messing. This is plain common sense.
3. Say a Cup Final goes to extra time, and the players are knackered, then you should be allowed to put more subs on. Also, any side that names Harry Kewell in its starting eleven should be allowed an extra substitute automatically, to even things up.
4. All matches should end in penalty shoot-outs, regardless of the scoreline after ninety minutes. Lets be honest, the media loves them and they are fun to watch. And we’re good at them.
5. It is high time you started docking points from the likes of Chelsea and Man Utd for fighting and diving. This lack of sportsmanship is ruining the beautiful game. It would be invidious to mention any names, but I think you should look particularly at Didier Drogba and Cristiano Ronaldo. (PS It would be very helpful if you could dock these teams around 15 points each before Xmas please)

In case it be argued that we are only asking for these rule changes to suit our own purposes, let me assure you that nothing could be further from my mind. It matters not a jot whether the Premier League title is awarded to arrogant clockwatching cheats like (mentioning no names) Alex Ferguson and José Mourinho, since I think everyone agrees that we are the most popular club in the universe, a matter that can be simply verified by entering the word “Liverpool” into Google Trends alongside any team you care to mention. For that reason we rightfully proclaim ourselves the Premiership Champions of People’s Hearts.

Sincerely yours

Rafa Dodd
