Dear Premier League,

Can you give me a legitimate reason as to why in the year 2007 the Premiership still doesnt havent 7 substitutes instead of 5? Im very confident that many managers across the league will back me on this.

With Love

Tobi

It's common in European leagues and and used in the CL and UEFA Cups, so why the PL don't go with the flow on this one I really cannot understand.

i agree...

7 subs in leagues all over europe, why not in the premier league.

seems unnecessary to not have standard regulations throughout european leagues

It's the stubbornness of those in charge who feel - it's our game, we invented it, we should make the rules. Who are these upstarts changing the rules! - those are the people that don't want it to change.

If seven subs were allowed we wouldn't have had the pleasure of watching Phil Jagielka keep a clean sheet against Arsenal. :wink:

You see Tobi, there's a fundamental truth that you've failed to grasp: logic and the FA are mutually exclusive.

I think 5 subs is about right. The more subs you have the more specialist players you can have in reserve and that benefits the larger clubs that can afford to have more top quality players in their squads. Right now, choosing which players to have on the bench is tactically important. The more subs you have the less important it becomes. So, for the good of the game, leave it be.

Well done Tobi! Daniel Levy talks to the BBC about the change and the overseas games proposal.

But How is 5 subs not enough???:shrug:

it gives teams more variety off the bench depending on certain situations, usually one place is a keeper, 1 defender, 1 mid, 2 forwards, that's not enough like the rest of europe clocked onto much time ago, 2 more options is better in my opinion, this rule is something ive been wanting the prem to indroduce for a long time now.
