Premier League clubs vote against 5 subs per match in 20/21

[Barcon]

Any rule that will allow more minutes to the young uns and potentially lessen the amount of injuries to players has to be good. Can't believe anyone can see it any other way. The best change in the rules for a long time.

Any homegrown player U21 who has made less than 20 appearances shouldn’t be counted in the number of subs allowed in the line up This would encourage managers to add more youths players and therefore if a team was in a comfortable position during a game they might be tempted to use them

If you can't put them on the bench how do they get to 20 games??

So they are in the bench but not counted in the total number of subs allowed until they have made 20 appearances

Brilliant for us if this is authorised by the Premier league. We clearly have the biggest squad (effectively 2 players for every position) and tiredness, fatigue and injury will hopefully be less of an issue.

I reckon the premier clubs will vote against this.

Not so sure on this. Will just be used to time waste by many, and as most referees don't add on the 30 seconds, or players take longer than 30 seconds anyway to exit the pitch, it's a tool to be abused.

Also feels like one step closer to American Football or Ice Hockey, changing entire units for portions of a match and then letting them back on again later when the game changes. Not that it's wrong, it just not our game.

I like the 5 subs.
Might give some youngsters more of a chance.

I doubt Tommy Doyle would have played that 15-20 minutes if it wasn’t for the five subs rule.

Another unnecessary change to what was the worlds greatest game.

Just think of all the additional time added on. If I leave at 80 minutes I could miss out on 20 minutes play ;-)
