- The top clubs want five substitutions per game.
- The idea was rejected in August
- New voting to take place in Thursday’s meeting
The big clubs of the Premier League want the five substitutions rule to be implemented for the new season. On the other hand, the smaller clubs are against the rule and do not want it to be implemented. A meeting will take place between the stakeholders on Thursday.
Previous Meeting rejected the idea
A meeting was held on 6 August previously, where the board brought up this matter. However, the idea was not approved and defeated by 11 votes to nine. In order for the rule to be passed, it needs at least two thirds majority, according to the new legislation.
New Rule for five substitutions
When the league restarted after the Coronavirus pandemic, the new rule of five substitutes and a larger squad was implemented in order to cope with fitness issues. There was a large number of matches to be played in a short period of time. Thus, this new rule was given the approval.
Proposal
The proposal was given by Chelsea to implement this rule for the new season. The proposal was driven by other big clubs like Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham and Arsenal. These major clubs were disappointed that the decision went against them last meeting. So, they are driving it again and there will be a second vote on it.
Anger among the smaller clubs
There is anger among the smaller clubs because they are at a big disadvantage. The big clubs have higher quality players in their ranks and can easily rotate their squad. They would have an even greater advantage if they are allowed the flexibility of five subs per game and a bigger matchday squad. The smaller clubs do not have the same quality on their bench and will not be able to have an impact with their substitutes.
