STM Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Light years from this time last season. Owners going above and beyond to communicate with the fans. A nice relaxed attitude too. No calm, no panic, just a message of let's keep improving on and off the pitch. Which they continue to do. Magic stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I'd go along with is scrapping the league cup. It's been dead for a long long time. I'd actually be a bit gutted if our first trophy was that because it's not too far off our intertoto win for me. To balance it out, I'd give a Champion's League spot to the FA Cup winner...

It's a totally legitimate competition imo and I would hate for us/the majority to have the slim chance of securing silverware made even slimmer.

bowlingcrofty Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Keep the league cup but exclude clubs in the champions league and give the winners the 4th CL space. Spice it up a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 The league cup is absolutely fine as it is, you just have to look at the last 10 years worth of winners to see that it's taken seriously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just silly to have two domestic cups. League cup should be retired. All teams should enter the first round of the FA cup with no qualification rounds. More money for winning the early rounds, with a smaller price pool for winning, but rather compete for a CL spot. No replays. Go to extra time then penalty shootout.

bowlingcrofty Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Or how about clubs stop doing ridiculous overseas tours pre season. Limit each club to 4 pre season games over a two week block and extend the season by 2 weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are you saying that it would be limited to only clubs playing as low as League 2 or are you going all the way down the football pyramid to Northern League level or whatever the equivalents are that enter at the first qualifying round?

Without having looked into how many games it would end up being, then yes ideally every team from PL to the lowest league level enters the same round. If that ends up being an unreasonable amount of games over a season then I may have to retract my statement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, not having that at all. I’d go crackers if we win the LC - and no chance would I want to reduce the number of competitions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
