I've always thought it strange to blame the little clubs for stifling change due to not wanting to give up 4 home OF games a season. Why would they accept change unless they get a net gain or at least a status quo of income?
And don't feed me the line for the betterment of the game overall because the only way that happens is if those making the most (us and them) give up the most.
The reality is the big clubs (us and them) don't really want change for the benefit of everyone, we want change that benefits us the most. So we are not really any different in that respect.
And that's the real issue and hence the stalemate under the current voting system. Change without compromise is impossible.
If everyone really wanted change for long-term benefit to the game in general then finances and minimum requirements on clubs' facilities would need to be regulated for the benefit of all and the game. Essentially the rich support the poor for everyone's benefit.
Available TV money would be evenly split regardless of position, standing, size of the club, or the matches being shown. Sure there could be a winning bonus but the main pot would be distributed evenly (think NFL).
Reverting back to a system akin to the cup ties where gate money is split evenly (or more evenly) would distribute wealth. But to benefit the game as opposed to greedy chairmen you would need regulations to control how that shared money (or a proportion of it) is spent to improve stadia, football facilities, youth development, and fan experience.
Naturally, none of this will occur because it is a dog-eat-dog free-for-all, and don't let anyone try to tell you otherwise.
