He's surely at the stage now where he should just hold his hands up, say he's been misguided/misinformed/wrong and try to save his career. Unless he's happy with this being his career now and leaching on this sort of person. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuv Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 The elites have won. Fucking joke that. How many clubs survived because of cup replays? There’s probably a few in the PL right now (Luton, Brighton, Bournemouth?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Disgrace - Shite for lower league teams who get a big team at home and manage to get a draw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 It really feels like the top clubs have put their deviousness into overdrive recently. Especially since the ESL fell through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 That is an absolutely terrible change. They've kept replays in the early rounds where they are of little benefit to lower league clubs who suffer from fixture congestion/midweek travelling anyway, but got rid of them in the later rounds where they actually benefit said clubs It should literally be the other way around.

Conjo Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 There's too many games for top level players these days, especially those that compete in 1 league, 2 domestic cups, 1 european cup + international games. Something has to be done to reduce that amount. Not sure this is the way to go though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I agree that there’s something fundamentally broken about the level of football played currently and the volume of it. Really don’t know what could be done though. Reduce the number of clubs in each league? That would be disastrous for lots of clubs but better for most players I guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) Wilder is on SSN and has absolutely nailed-it - superb comments! The big boys get what the big boys want and they don't want Cup replays" mentioned about how it'll starve lower league clubs of a glamor away trip and a potential huge pay off etc - brilliant listen!
