The first thing they're going to have to do is teach these former players the actual rules. The majority of pundits that are former players don't seem to fully know them but love the phrase 'anyone who has played the same' and shit like that.

Recent former players being involved in actually making the rules, I'd be all for that.

Let's be honest though, even if the rules were absolute perfection, people would still bitch and whine.
