Restricting the squad size is a good start seeing as CL teams need to have at least 8 locally-trained players but point deductions would surely be a bigger deterrent?

As with the case of the female referee's assistant who Andy Grey and Richard Keyes slagged off, I couldn't care which gender anyone is as long as they do a good job and being female has zero bearing on it IMO. Football still has a male-dominated attitude to women in the game are likely to get some resistance/abuse so as long as that gets dealt with I say bring them on :)

I'm sure there'd be training ground banter that she'd probably take on the chin and dish back out, completely fine imo but what Keys and Gray did was just utter bollocks, they can claim banter all they want but it just wasn't and the tone in their voices said it all.

I don't understand how 50m payable over 3 years is a proper punishment.
