He is waiting to start about 3 threads when Farke is appointed at Leeds so no time for stuff like this.

We're gonna need a bigger dugout.

Just curious but how does it feel making the exact same joke about me about ten times a day?

I'm just glad there's no big teams that got relegated from prem to champs last season.

I wouldn't say that, many of the players in the three teams are quite big, not all Gilmour/Sara size. Or did you mean big clubs ?

9 subs? Is this for real? It's the end of football as we know it.....

[BroadstairsR 2,205]

All the more reason to get an extra striker on-board.

That's getting on for two teams paraded by clubs on match days. Seems excessive. 

[Wings of a Sparrow 1,426]

Nearly two different teams for two halves.

Someone will be the first to do it...

*only 5 allowed, shoulda read it first.

The question now is will Wagner still leave Christos Tzolis out of the matchday squad?

It will happen sooner or later. 1 sub  to 2 subs......to 3 subs......to 5 subs....

9 on the bench is precursor to allowing 6 + changes.

I think the logic is there's more chance of youth players getting match time because by having 9 players available on the bench you can have more options. If a team is comfortably winning you could throw on a few youth players. It's a long ol' season

I can see where you're coming from but I'm a lot more cynical.

Having 9 subs available benefits the teams at the top the most, and this is reformatting the next few leagues so it isn't questioned. The talent will pool wherever the money is, even worse than it currently does

Yeah bigger clubs with bigger pockets with bigger squads.

[Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,856]

Ultimately, there'll be little difference between 'five from nine' and 'five from seven'. The same amount of players will play, it's just that two extra fringe players will make up the numbers on the bench.

I genuinely now get all of my up-to-date Norwich news and gossip off of this forum because of @cambridgeshire canary and I don’t go anywhere else. Also means I get to comment on other threads at the same time. He’s a godsend and I don’t have to trawl Newsnow. So fair play to the lad.

Of course that is already allowed with the concussion substitutes 

[cambridgeshire canary 6,799]

Can't wait for all the time wasting subs as soon as any team is in the lead during extra time

But they aren't allowed any more substitution windows, that's still the same, so it won't change. 

The article quotes;

Clubs will still only be permitted to make five changes during a match, but are now able to have more options on the bench after clubs in the second tier voted for the increase. 

Plus you only get 'extra time' in cup games, otherwise it's injury / stoppage time.

[The Raptor 1,232]

So is it still 5 subs bit only at 3 different times?

With an 6th allowed in cup game extra time but only if you've already made the 5 in normal time? Or did I imagine that?

Sadly football as we know it, died the day the Russian bought Chelsea.

[Terminally Yellow 2,479]

It's ridiculous and another nod in favour of the big teams coming down from the Premier League over the smaller teams who exist in this division.

[Mello Yello 2,303]

It'll boost our home attendances....

Wouldn't happen if you didn't start about ten threads a day now would it ?

[Deptford Yellow 260]

Bring back 3 subs and Daryl Surch having to play in goal - them were the days !

Good, we can extend the City Stand at the same time.
