Gary Neville Proposes Penalty Shootouts for Draws

Former Manchester United player Gary Neville has proposed a radical change to football rules, suggesting that penalty shootouts be held at the end of drawn league games, awarding two points to the winner. He believes this change would enhance spectator interest and excitement, especially for young fans, who often find draws disappointing. Despite his enthusiasm, Neville acknowledged that the implementation could be challenging and noted that similar rules are already in place in the EFL Trophy. Fellow pundits, including Roy Keane, expressed skepticism, labeling the idea as 'very Americanized.' Neville also discussed other potential changes, including a fairer distribution of wealth between Premier League and lower division clubs. His suggestions aim to modernize the game while maintaining its essence and competitiveness.
