A team made up entirely of former FA Cup winners, which may include Paul Gascoigne, could enter next season's FA Cup. The idea is that the legends join a non-league club but will only play in the cup competition. (Daily Star)

Who on earth thinks up these ideas?  And then expects NL teams to go 'yeah why not'?

a) No club would agree to this.
