After more than 50 years involved in football - as a player, coach and manager in what I consider to be the greatest team sport in the world - I've witnessed many changes on and off the field.

There's a reason legendary former Liverpool manager Bill Shankly once proclaimed football was 'the people's game' - and that's because it belongs to the fans.

Today's supporters spend enormous amounts of their hard-earned money buying season tickets, and shirts for their children, and on travelling up and down the country to support their team.

That's why, when I was asked to give my views on what I would change to improve football today, I have not tried to reinvent anything. Instead, I wanted to focus on things that would benefit the fans.

My biggest issue is that referees and the VAR are becoming more important than the game itself.
