Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger's radical football rule change trial confirmed by IFAB

Legendary Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is set to be the person who could make a radical change to the long standing football rule of throw-ins.

Wenger has already proposed ideas to make the UEFA Champions League and FIFA World Cup bigger, and the latter of the two to become biennial, a move that has been criticised heavily. And he has now targeted a certain rule of football in a bid to speed up the game.

Wenger has previously criticised throw-ins and free-kicks as he believes that both are the biggest time wasters during the 90 minutes of a regular football match. Wenger is aiming "to make the game more spectacular and quicker" and has suggested players restart with their feet instead of a throw in a limit of five seconds.
