Difficult for the team who've got 11 players.

But I think if you were to take an extra player of each team, make it nine outfield players, you'd see more attack in play and more openings.

People are allowed to display their skills more and more goals.

That would be a huge change, wouldn't it?

Wouldn't it?

I don't know.

People will say that

altering the rule where goalkeepers could pick it up from a pass back was an enormous change.

We've never looked back since then.

I think when we introduced that... That was hugely beneficial, wasn't it, to attack in play?

Yeah.

Well, I think the offside rule I suggested and now sort of...

Some of the footballing wizards that run our game have bought into it.

No, he said exactly the same thing.

He's a wizard.

He's a professor.

Recap.

So basically, I come back to, if you were starting, say someone came up and invented a game of football today, and you were saying, right, we've got to make it attractive.

What do 99% of people go to football for?

They want to see goals.
