Why? Surley the managers want as many options as possible.

Money. I remember somewhere reading that by just being on the bench, players will get a win bonus, even if they don't get on the field.

It makes sense logically, but maybe it would be worth only paying the players that play a win/appearance bonus rather then a whole matchday squad.

Can't the club just not chose to not give those players a bonus?

Not if it's in a contract. All I know that the reason it's was voted on was to save FL clubs money, especially in the lower leagues.

Fair enough if it will benefit the club financially.

Its rediculous they ever put it up anyway. Just makes the clubs a haven for losers.

Makes it all the more likely ferry will be leaving

I used to like naming two subs only -it made picking the substitutes a tactical decision - with five, and especially seven, you can cover every position.

My inner geek can't cope anymore, ridiculous rather than rediculous.
