My cunning plan.
Views: 1114
My cunning plan for FA Cup is
1 - Keep qualifying rounds as is.
2 - Probably keep round 1 and 2 as is.
3 - (controversial) have 3rd round seeded, with prem and championship in the "away pot".
4 - No replays.
My rational
* very few non-league clubs reach 3rd round and 20? league 2 or 3 and (lets be honest) a lot is down to luck (and with the luck comes £££s).
* Everyone wants a giant killing.
* for a lower club to beat a higher club its normally at home. In winning then more prize money.
* Its now 50/50 if a home game; why not make it 100/0
* It increases the chance massively that a small club will play a big club.
* Big clubs should win irrespective, but if they want to risk playing weakened team then so-be-it.
* No replays for big clubs - What they want.
I dare say people will pick holes and want "tradition" but something HAS to be done.
I have actually heard similar/same being mentioned by "experts"/"FA Officials"
