The FA is justifying the scrapping of FA Cup replays on the basis that an extra £133m will be provided by the Premier League by way of compensation. As ever in football, money talks and the big clubs are only interested in the 38 x PL matches and European competition. Ideally they would like the FA Cup and League Cup scrapped altogether and at some point in the future they will not play in either competition as there is a further expansion of european competition. Football is losing its soul as this decision erodes even further a historic and romantic competition in which the whole football pyramid participates. A sad day for football.
@_PeterVarney Every club in round one should play out a draw. Then they should all sue the FA for loss of earnings. Gate receipts, TV revenue and merchandising.
@JohnBak58538194 @_PeterVarney I'm not sure match fixing would make for a viable case to sue 😅
