Attempts to revolutionise the game haven't been without their criticism, with Marco Van Basten's latest proposals being shot down by Stade Reims coach Christian Gourcuff.
While some support has been lukewarm, Gourcuff didn't hold back in what he really thought of any new plans to change the future of football.
"Van Basten's propsal is a huge piece of shit," he said. "It is the biggest piece of garbage I've read in a long time.
"The offside rule is a manifestation of intelligence and if we got rid of it, the team spirit would die, which is crucial.
"If you don't understand this, you don't understand football."
