Well they said it would require PL clubs to agree to change venues. That normally would require a meeting of some form or another.
it is a Football Association competition the PL teams just happen to be invited as are all clubs under the FA umbrella .They are the ones who set out the criteria *

*though i accept pressure from "bigger" clubs has led to changes though that is partially down to the ridiculous fixture congestion these days with now a third of PL playing in europe

Always said the obvious solution is to make the league cup for teams not in Europe only. Give the conference league spot to the winner and you'll get a different winner each year.

Just don't see how the hell the FA - which lets face it, is weaker than most PL clubs these days - are going to dictate to these owners that they will be losing gate revenues and expect to get away with it.

Without the owners consent, and without the PL clubs, the competition would become nothing more than the Pizza cup or whatever its called these days.

I feel that the clubs at the top end do have a responsibility though towards the clubs in the lower leagues.
Equally the league clubs should be assisting and looking out for grassroots

however it never happens as there is way too much self interest from all clubs

this is the problem when a sport ceases and becomes a business

I know there is no way of doing what I think should happen - I just think it should

in my Utopian mind every club would have the same money
Every club would recieve the same payout from a competition but it’s just stupid to think it could ever happen

Isn't it the FA's Premier league?
 
Forgot about that crock of ****. We won it when still worth winning <whistle>

Has a yoof side reached a final yet?
No, but we've won every game so far. That has meant Moyes being branded a **** for not playing the youth in the first team, as obviously beating weakened L2 teams means they're ready.

Your fan base is rather odd tbf. Beat Arsenal away but then a draw v Brighton isn't good enough.

no, it's the style. They do have a point, it's pretty bland football, but as we've beaten Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea and United, sit 6th and have a trophy, they're looking like miserable ****s that can't change their views because... Personally I don't give a **** if we have 1% possession if we continues doing thattbh.
 
Fair play - I am box office, after all...

... oh and world peace ...

Just common sense to me
The lower league can then base their choice on things like financial benefit - great day out - that sort of thing
No brainer for me
Bumps man
