I think the American setup for Sport is absolutely fantastic.
Overall though, my favourite point is that you can be traded without having a single say in the matter. a big name player can be traded to a tiny club as their contract is owned by the league and not that particular club.

Isn't it done so the teams who were worse off the season before get first pick too?
I'm sure I like the rotation idea, it happens each season doesn't it? it seems absurd that a player is forced to move to another club and have no say in the matter, I don't see the point in that. Plus I think you can offload rubbish and bring in one big named player. Just because it works for American sports doesn't mean it'll work here.
The idea of a salary cap of some sort would work but any change like a draft system or salary cap is too big a change to happen, it's taken forever for touchline technology to even be discussed so something like draft or salary cap will never happen. I still think clubs having control of their players and transfer fees are the way forward just not in the crazy way it works now, a salary cap could work but clubs will find a way round it.
