FA will consider scrapping extra time in FA Cup ties - but no U-turn over replays. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c86396e9jqdo
Why don't they just not let EPL clubs participate instead? After all, the complaints are all coming from them. I'm sure that having two EFL sides battle the final out at Wembley would be just as attractive a proposition. If they keep on tinkering with the format, fans will probably eventually vote with their feet.
Might be a few worried teams.. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/jan/12/premier-league-disciplinary-charges-make-clubs-rush-to-balance-the-books
It would make it less of a spectacle, I think. And more than anything, these smaller clubs have gone through all sorts of qualifying rounds before the main rounds and they deserve a proper crack at the big teams. That’s why I’m none too happy about the replay situation, too. And all because the greedy UEFA want to crowbar in as many European games as possible. Why don’t they scrap extra-time in their bloody fixtures? The FA Cup is older and means something. WTF is this bloody Conference Cup bollocks anyway? Slightly fuming.
I presume like replays it would be scrapped from Round one which seems an odd move as obviously PL teams don’t enter then.
So after all that no one is in trouble. https://x.com/martynziegler/status/1879106016559948253 Well Leicester mlght be . Carry on as you like I guess .
Matt Bloomfield gone to Luton . Very strange move. Didn’t go well for Gareth Ainsworth when he made the same sort of move to QPR having done well at Wycombe .
I cant believe that Getting Wycombe back to the Championship and keeping them up the following season, legend for ever at Wycombe and getting attention maybe from top Championship clubs, it could have been worse tho MK Dons
People thought that a manager who had won the fourth division title was mad to drop back into that division with a different team. We all know how that worked out.
GT was leaving Lincoln anyway and was on his way to West Brom, that was the strange thing about that, Don Revie told Elton to approach GT and Ken Furphy told GT it was worth at least speaking to Elton because he was a new Chairman who was ambitious, The rest is history The press did not like the fact that Elton chose GT over Bobby Moore because that seemed to be disrespectful to an England legend and a strange choice make for a club that wanted to be successful so his appointment seemed strange to everyone for many different reasons
