[Football] I really hate this time of year.

When/if I become the World Dictator, I'll remove most of the transfer concept.

All players in a league should get equal initial pay (at a very much lower level than now), with an increase every year to promote loyalty among players making them more attached to their clubs (and cities / clubs), making them more relatable. Players would be allowed to leave but would start over at the initial payment. This would encourage clubs to spend more money on their youth sections, increasing the number of local players in each time, which I believe would also increase the passion of the fans. More investment in academies would also mean more resources in helping the kids physically and psychologically, hopefully increasing the health in the many many thousands of young men and women playing football.

The decrease in wages could be used to expand stadiums, lower ticket prices, support smaller clubs around the country etc. In short, football should be returned to the people.

Best to just let it all wash over you, in the interests of inner calm. Que sera sera and all that. Cometh the hour, there will be 11 players turn out in the stripes. Why on earth would you beat yourself up over it? Maybe just switch off your NSC and go out and do something more interesting instead?

Me too. Days getting shorter, nights drawing in. Heating clicking on overnight. Slow inevitable March towards the dullness of of an autumn lasting six months before hope arrives again in spring.

I really hate the transfer window.

Why is it 3 months long? Why can’t clubs do their transfer business in a month?
My plan would be, the window opens on 1st July across the whole of Europe. Clubs then have until the 31st of July to complete all transfer business. Most players have an agent now, and most clubs have recruitment departments so , why such a lengthy window. The January window is only open for 31 days, and opens and slams shuts on the same day across Europe, so why not the Summer window?
