Because without the co-operation the structure of English football would collapse and the PL would become in effect a closed shop.

Unfortunately we need them (the PL) more than they need us (the EFL). We have more to lose than them.

They wouldn’t care if we collectively blew our brains out. In fact they’d probably be happy, so why give them the satisfaction?



I'd just like to see us get away from them. Agree in that we do need them but it's just a excrement situation, and should never have been allowed to happen. the big 6 run english football

Patience. Let’s see how the football regulator plays out and what the “new deal” is before we declare war.

The scrapping of replays has been a 33 year process after all. Multiple replays were scrapped ahead of 1991/92 (I think) in favour of a single replay and then penalties and it’s evolved from there. This isn’t a revolution.

Scrapping replays from the First Round.  This is strange as these early rounds do not involve the top clubs.

As some posters say a 100% united boycott from the EFL clubs would change this.

To a certain extent I agree with your assessment. But I think you’re looking at the situation through the eyes of a foreign owner . The US owners in particular are so used to the closed shop franchise system of sport , they don’t see the structure of the pyramid being central to the heartbeat of the game . Relegation/ promotion to the PL is what keeps the competitive edge. There’s more teams fighting relegation from the promised land than have the chance of winning it .
I fully expect another attempt at a breakaway ESL at some point in the near future. I suppose it’s the natural progression now the money men have their claws in the game now.
Anyone for a Uk league and fook the PL big boys off to play on their own ?

Tranmeres statement is spot on, we have a really big opportunity to double down on this and hopefully cause a bit of a chain reaction, hope the club are putting something together themselves.

Just read the Tranmere statement which makes eye opening reading. No consultation with the clubs who are represented by the FA is criminal. There must be a legal basis to challenge this I’d guess ?!

Well done Tranmere
Of course their top dog used to be head of the FA, so he knows what a useless bunch of potentially corrupt egotists are there

This decision should be reversed without prejudice immediately. The government should step in ahead of the vacant ombudsman.

The potential resolutions should be

Consult all non league clubs and decide democratically for qualifying rounds
Consult all EFL clubs and decide democratily for all rounds 1-semi final
Tell the PL to F off until we are ready to readmit them to the FA Cup
Put a bomb under the government. Metaphorically. Good luck.

This is an absolute abuse of office by the FA and heads must roll.
