That is a dangerous suggestion with current set of refs as we they would surprise us every game with a ball in our net after the the 90th minute.

Two time wasting actions to be changed.
1. A player being subbed for tactical reasons is done so during play..... so the manager has to get the word out to player A that he needs to come off and as soon as he reaches the touch line, player B can go straight on. You can guarantee player A will be legging it off as quick as he can. And if he doesn't, well it isn't stopping / slowing down the game.
2. Goalkeepers (Tim Howard especially) have 10 seconds to take a goal kick, otherwise the opposing team get a corner. A ball boy can be behind the goal, ball in hand to supply the keeper if the ball goes into the crowd.

- 4 x 20 minute quarters, with 5 minute break every half and a 10 minute half time. Team in possession at the end of the quarter restarts the game with a kick off.
- Clock controlled off the field, using "ball in play" timing.
- Sin bin for persistent fouls, 5 mins. Within last 5 mins, yellow card.
- Referees miked, like rugby, for TV. 10 second live delay for home audience. Actually follow laws of game for foul and abusive language towards officials...it's not like we can't all see it now with 20 cameras in HD close up! "Respect" my arse!
- TV revenue sharing, equal for all clubs.
- Minimum of 3 U-21 players, at least one of which was an academy product (signed contract at club prior to age 18)
- All players seeking treatment on the field carried off for treatment off the field. No onfield treatment allowed. Stretcher comes on with physio, leaves with player and physio.
- Final whistle (buzzer, whatever) occurs when ball goes out of play after time has expired. No final whistles with team mounting an attack.
- Return handball to handball, not this totally subjective "hand in an unnatural position" bs. Did he TRY to stop the ball with his arm/hand?
- Video ref, used only by request of team manager. 4 requests per manager per game. Simply inform the fourth official you are challenging the call. Only to be used for penalties, offsides, red cards.
- Fix the scrum that has developed on every corner kick! Thought Mike Dean was going to fix it singlehanded earlier this season, but it hasn't caught on and is ridiculously inconsistent.

Stop the clock when ball is out of play/free kicks
Mike up the **** in charge
Have video replays available but be transparent with it.
Also transparent with the 'Sky loop' banning mechanism
The only one that could possibly come in will be a watered down video replay.

Why? They're professional athletes for crying out loud. 90 minutes of actual play should not worry them unduly.
As I've said many times before, ball in play, clock ticks. Ball out of play, clock stops. Time wasting then irrelevant. Substitutions/injuries/VAR reviews = ball out of play.
90 minutes play will become the norm. Park the bus all you want, but you will do it in your own time.
Most games in-play time is only between 28-31 minutes

Maybe go back to letting the clubs do what they want with their ground/ pitch. Playing a team with wingers? Narrow the pitch. A passing team? Don't cut the grass.
Oh...and bring back the slope. Nothing more leveling than a slope.
