How can they deduct points for this?
By they I take it you mean the Football League, which is run by and for the benefit of the clubs. The clubs choose who runs it and have a say in the TV deals that are agree. If they don't like the deal they shouldn't have agreed to it. If a club doesn't keep to the deal why should they benefit from it without penalty the same as clubs that do keep to it.

This http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21604568 Could have been a lot worse than Jed and Co chums... Here's an owner that really understands football Tan referred to the dissenting voices as "a bunch of mostly young kids" and argued a change was long overdue. "Have they achieved any success under this bluebirds brand?," he asked "So why do we hold onto something that hasn't achieved much success?"

I'd be alright with re-branding us red and calling ourselves the Swindon Spartans.

Haha I considered that. Then I snapped out of it and will stick with the tried and tested method of turning up and looking for some industrial estate to park in

Yeah because that queueing up for an hour behind 300 cars with their drivers all inching forward until they fumble for pound coins in front of a bloke in a shed was always the highlight of any awayday........?

FIFA.
If Qatar cannot hold the WC when they are supposed to, take it away from them. I believe this was always the plan to switch it to Winter. The air conditioned indoor stadiums was always bollocks.

In fairness, Mark Hughes has always been able to spend a fair bit, although Harry will have added to that.

Having seen Mr Ferdinand's reaction to the ref on Tuesday, I reckon we should trial this (not to be broadcast, although I'd love to see just what shit refs get) and let someone issue bans for inappropriate behaviour.
On the flip side, however, I'd like to see ref's being more accountable and explaining why they made certain decisions.

Would be fascinating in football but the barrier to live broadcast of swearing and verbal abuse from the current crop of top class 'professionals' in our game will be difficult to surmount for a long time yet. Even just a muted version would be good though for indicating what sort of view a referee gets of an incident, something often debated in post-match analysis.

Whenever I've seen the broadcasting of the ref's audio being broadcast discussed the consensus has always been that the swearing from players would end immediately - the top clubs would stop it as it would be far too damaging for their image and embarrassing. Though that's probably the main reason clubs would try and block it. Would be a good move and could only be an improvement, should help reduce the abuse refs get as well.

Try thinking it through before reaching a conclusion.
Having players swearing at each other and the referee broadcast all over the world (they'd never be able to bleep it all) to millions of people would be highly damaging to the image of the PL, the clubs and the players themselves.
Do you really think sponsors like Aon and Emirates would be happy for their logo to be on the shirts of players screaming out non-stop expletives? They'd be terminating their deals on the spot, losing clubs millions and millions.
