FA Cup Rule Changes

No more replays, all rounds on the weekends, final pushed in to the season rather then being the domestic curtain closer.

Who was in charge of these changes? Were they paid by the Premier League to ruin the competition for good?

Precisely what I said to my mate.

Realistically speaking, how many times in recent seasons have Premier League teams been burdened by a replay in the earlier stages of this competition?

Probably the best example from this season was Cray Valley Paper Mills - but that was Charlton's problem, not the Premier League's.

If they were that interested in the actual FA Cup itself and the integrity of the competition, surely they recognised the jeopardy associated with playing a weakened side?

On the plus side, it might send the odd underdog through on the night. Maybe.
