My thoughts: A lot of sensible proposals with one massive caveat.
1. Premier League reduced to 18 teams: probably a good idea both for English clubs in Europe and the national team. Bad for PNE as we'd have (even) less chance of ever making it there.
2. Parachute payments abolished: Definitely a good thing. Might even offset the reduced chance of promotion if we could compete on a level playing field.
3. 25% of Premier League revenue to be shared out equitably between EFL clubs: Definitely a good idea. Would hopefully stop some grand old clubs going to the wall. This replaces parachute payments with a much fairer system.
4. League Cup and Community Shield abolished: Yeah, fine, I don't think anyone's that bothered.
5. Only the nine longest-running Prem clubs get a vote and only six need to vote in favour to make changes: a massive no. It would basically mean the big six could do what the want: including presumably rolling back on all of the above should they wish!
