Alongside with the Premier League the most avoiritious greedy bastards that talked about football don't give a flying for supporters or clubs in the lower leagues
Tradition counts for fuckall where money is concerned they even kill for the fucking stuff that's why they have scrapped replays.
They will spend billions on their beloved Prem and dont want to be embarrassed by the lesser lights.
They want global power and l hope that something can happen to rein in these avaricious bastards they need the lower leagues whether they like it or not.
Another step in the pace towards the breakaway, top boys wanting there own closed shop league
 
Well said Kendal. The blazers banging in the last nail in the Cup Coffin, without even consulting the pyramid below the PL, even though the ‘Big Boys’ don’t even go into the wok until the third round. And here’s some other nails they used earlier......

Swapping the centuries-old velvet bag for a transparent plastic wok.
Getting ‘celebrity’ guests with no football pedigree like Les Dennis and Jamie Carragher to pick out the balls.
Switching the draw to any time on any day of the week at a time to suit TV broadcast schedules
Allowing Sam Weeks and Coleman piss commentator and that Leitch fellow to die.
Abandoning the chattering teleprinter and the sing song commentary over it in favour of Tik Tok rubbish
Warming up the balls to keep sides apart for global revenue purposes (like this year’s SF drawj
Moving the semi-finals to Wembley, instead of a major club ground (okay, safety might be factor)
Screening every Man U fixture, regardless of the opposition, over more interesting lower league clashes
Stopping it raining past the lights of floodlight pylons
Banning the teaching of previous final results and scorers, so that today’s kids don’t know who ever won it before.
Making club colour rosettes illegal, putting the English satin and cardboard and pin industries at risk
Ending the punishment of clubs for fielding an entire reserve side against a ‘minnow’ (like Covscum).
Ending the all day build up coverage on the terrestrial channels, and replacing it with ‘Girth Brooks On Ice’ repeats
Confiscating rattles, darts, half-bricks and pork pie hats at the turnstiles, and handing out pyro and smart phones
Penalties to settle draws in Finals, instead of glorious replays, like Chelsea v Leeds
Allowing players to wear slippers with a few studs, instead of old army boots
Banning combovers that flop in the wind, like Ralph Coates and the glory of Rodney Fern at Field Mill
Ending Community singing of Forces favourites/hymns, replacing it with mute gorging from rip off concessions.
Progressively reducing club allocations from close to 45% each.
Replacing Quiz Ball with shite featuring those football legends Andrew Flintoff and Jack Whitehall
Pulling the FA Cup version of Subbuteo, and doing likewise with Top Trumps.
Ending cardboard voucher systems for Finals tickets, so that tourists and fairweathers can be fleeced online.
Stopping Fenwicks from having signing sessions with players promoting a Club souvenir booklet
 
Sorry to rant. Just fookin’ hate the FA and PL, for what they do. Just when they think they can’t do something worse, they dig up the corpse they’ve murdered, and mutilate it some more.
 
It’s all been done because the Champions League has been expanded so from next season there are two extra European games for each team.

It’s all about money of course it is. But this time I don’t especially blame the FA or the Premier League. UEFA have basically forced their hand.

Or that’s how I see it anyway.
 
Listen boys and girls this is another step along the road towards that SUPERLEAGUE
they couldn't get it by fair means so now its
Foul means.
A closed shop of 12 to 16 teams to play all around the world at varying venues to grab as much as they can
But they have forgotten they need to replenish their stocks .......from where if
It is their aim to kill off conventional leagues around the world

Top quality channy! I think it's safe to say you have got your mojo back 👍
 
Many years ago a top FA Blazer said to me, "There is nothing in the laws of football that mentions common sense"

I'm sure for many the highlight of the FA Cup was the 3rd round draw on the radio on a Monday lunchtime, "And the next item on the agenda is..."

It's a joke. As mentioned, no consultation with lower clubs, and just for 4 teams who have to play a couple of extra games
 
The baffling disappearance of Click Clark and his amazing ability to “sneak” into the old Wembley whenever the urge took him to invade a Cup Final. His variety of imaginative “ruses” whenever a chance arose for him. “Borrowed” Dally Mail press armband,or once spotted rearranging the BBC outdoor broadcast wires on the sanded area behind the goal, or just scaling the outside wall between the twin towers like Spider-Man!
The rumour that he once ‘found’ a military bearskin busby helmet and “tagged along” at the back of the Coldstream Guards Marching Band playing the cymbals is yet to be conclusively ‘verified’!
 
Don't forget that VAR is now allowed at Premier league grounds during FA games. This is to allow a BCC center back to blatantly clothesline a lower league player in the penalty box, just so the VAR ref can spend 25 mins going through countless video clips and then after receiving medical treatment for decapitation, the lower league player will get booked for diving and no penalty given.
 
Not to mention that FIFA are introducing a World Club Championship next summer in June & July, so get ready for more changes that nobody wants.
I suspect it will mean a later start to the season & loads more midweek games

Don't the other 728 clubs get a say in all of this?
It is the oldest football competition in the world and there have been replays since it started.
Why are the Premier League even involved in decisions about the FA Cup?
 
I am with everyone else in this, in not liking the changes one bit. And, yes, it's all about money. For the FA, it's about being able to sell the overseas TV rights for as much as possible (hence the match weekend lasting from Thursday to Monday) - for that, they need the BCCs to stay involved, and so they have to take account of their wants and needs (which are to a degree determined by actions taken by UEFA and occasionally FIFA).

But surely, if the FA is the governing body of the game in England, are they not therefore responsible for the well-being of all the clubs in our country? This change is clearly detrimental to all bar about 12 of them.

Sometimes I think the English game would have become more enjoyable if the Superleague had actually happened, taking the BCCs out of the equation. Easy for us to say, I guess, having won the League and the Cup in the past 9 seasons

The FA say 'all parties agreed'.
but everybody outside the PL says they weren't consulted.
I think they've made a major balls up here.
Any team lower than 20th in the PL could and should take them to court for loss of earnings.

The 728 did have a say, according to the BBC Website the following……..However, the FA says the calendar for next season was approved by the Professional Game Board, which consists of four representatives from the EFL and four representatives from the Premier League.
Sums it up 4 representatives from the EFL representing 728 and four from the Premier League representing 20 clubs!
 
Tranmere Rovers condemn the disgraceful decision taken by The FA and the Premier League to change the format of the FA Cup, including the scrapping of replays.
There was no consultation with Football League clubs, National League clubs or grassroots clubs to whom the competition represents not only their best opportunity to create life-long memories for supporters but also a hugely important source of income. We also understand that FA Council members were not consulted about the changes.
The decision, and the way it was taken, demonstrate a total lack of respect for the football pyramid and its fans. Football belongs to all of us and decisions should not be taken in back room deals in which only the very wealthiest clubs are allowed to participate. It is yet another eloquent example of the 19th-century governance that means that football simply cannot regulate itself and needs the Independent Football Regulator to have real teeth.
We condemn the changes wholeheartedly and urge The FA to suspend them immediately until all stakeholders in the game are properly consulted.
