…. what would it be?
For me, the fouled player (or last to touch it for a handball) has to take the penalty.

I'd limit VAR reviews in number. Each team would be entitled to call for 1 x review per half, kind of like a time out in the NFL.
A 'VAR review' would have been useful at the Ricoh Arena earlier this season.

Mic the refs, cards for ANY dissent.
Also, immediate red cards for any GK trying to play ridiculous mind games for a penalty. That Villa and Argentina keeper is an utter tool and the epitome of bad sportsmanship. It just shouldn't be permitted.

Change the offside rule, so that there would have to be daylight between the offside player and the last defender, rather than a smidgeon of overlap, if that makes sense.
Offside should ONLY be measured by feet.
You run with your feet, not your backside or shoulder!
Cue players taking five minutes of treatment for the injury caused by the foul before hobbling up to take the pen and complaining how unfair it is. Mr Ainsworth's teams would make it last 30minutes!
VAR reviews to be no longer than 60 seconds. If more than a minute is needed then its not a clear and obvious error.
Like the NFL I hope the managers have to throw a towel onto the pitch as well!
All Manchester-based teams to start each match with a five-goal handicap.
Teams with a red and white striped kit have to play with no boots or shinpads and are only allowed to run backwards.
Anyone employing Clinton Morrison or Robbie Savage for live commentary to be punished with long prison sentences.

I'd switch to 30 min halves but with a clock that's only active when the ball is in play. It would mean then that there's the same amount of action in every single game of football. Right now with the time wasting antics of some teams some games actually have a fair bit less action that others.
It'd be a tricky one though, the idea of a match being 90 mins long with two 45 min halves is so ingrained into football.
I'd also like for managers to be in charge of when VAR is used like Tennis or Cricket. Each team gets one appeal a half as mentioned above but like the above mentioned sports they'd retain it if they were correct.

I think this is sensible. Maybe a review can be kept if an offside decision is marginal, like with LBW in cricket.
I'd go with that.
If VAR went that way it'd separate the referee and VAR. Then the ref would be back to how they used to be, reffing the match and just being in contact with the linesman and fourth official.
