Splodge, well said, there is so much I and a few other posters could add to your list, consistent rule fannying, top heavy - and distant HQ, total we know better attitude, you will do what we say not we will do what you want us to do, no league status, pandering to daft ideas [i.e. the meter maid and plastic pitches] artificial wage restraints, disregard for tradition, obsession to the point of MANIA of spreading the game, we have now had a plonker in the rugby leaguer proposing we have a pan european SL with only 8 English teams - bring back a lot of the old structures and the game will be better etc etc etc.
