The FA has just now destroyed the magic and wonder of the CUP .
Super League did the same with the Rugby League Challenge Cup... now, the trophy has been reduced to a distraction for the top tier of the sport.
The FA Cup final should be the last match of the domestic season- terrible change
Why?
@@really8930because that how it's always been. It's the season finale.
I somehow feel your more interested in the paul pogba dancing players, lesbian fisting presenters and 🏳️🌈 than keeping the traditions of football as they are.
I hope I didn't offend him/her/she/he.
I heard they only consulted the premier league teams on this, which is an absolute farce if true. They knew full well it’d be rejected by the rest of the pyramid.
Our game is being dismantled bit by bit. Premiership teams should not keep getting their way. All league sides rely on replays for income. Magic of the Cup is evaporating.
Most fans yearn for the past, as it’s just about the top 6 constantly.
What about the other 86 teams?
You mean 7000+ teams who enter the fa cup
It’s getting to a point where football is being ran by outsider business people who have no interest in the history of the game. The FA Cup final has always been the last game of the season and the finale of the season. The premier league want the finale to be there league so they have agreed this and totally ignored the lower league clubs as they know they don’t have the money to take them on. As for the abolishment of replays this is just as bad. It’s disgusting…
This new agreement between the FA and the Premier League".... that says it all. No mention of Championship, Leagues 1 & 2, or Non League... Just the Premier League.
Fans should speak up and shut it down quicker than the super league.
The problem is proper football fans have been priced out of stadiums and these corporate fans/customers are just happy to be in a stadium.
Its all business no one cares about actual sport
As a everton support I totally agree with you 😢
Ruined county cricket and grand national now fa cup. Hope they are happy
Diminishing the best Domestic Cup Competition in the World for the sake of the PL, so Clubs can stand a better chance to get into the Champions League and a Competition that is full of anything but Champions.
They should be ashamed of themselves.
Shame on the FA
I know this will sound stupid but sometimes i wish the big Premier League teams would eff off to a super league so domestic football will be better off without them. But sadly the 'fans' and money would follow the super league...😢
Its absolutely disgusting, clearly once again tipping the scales in favour of the bigger clubs.
AND while we are at it, moving the semi finals to Wembley AND the final is nothing but an FA swindling cash grab.
If they cared about the integrity of the game, the fans experience they wld have left it at neutral grounds where special memories have been made for decades. All they have done is grabbed the revenue to pay off Wembley debt and diluted the final as a special experience and passed on even more expenses to the fans who have to travel again to London.
Enough... All fans need to start speaking up.
My thoughts exactly and totally agree with what you say.
Football isn't a sport - its a business. Since the formation of the Premier league in 1992. The 'big clubs' (side note - i think the size of a club is purely down to your own retrospective) want everything for themselves. It's dead. We'd all be better playing the sport ourselves. Much better for you body - helps you feel part of a real community and team. that's my friday morning preaching out of the way for today, go enjoy yourselves...
I support Chelsea and I think this is a terrible idea if the big teams are moaning about it should of won the match in the first bloody place so they don’t get a replay
AGREED
Exactly. Shoiw some respect and put out a team to win the match rather than treating it as a run out for the U21s!
So the six clubs who wanted to form a break away league now get to change the FA cup. 🐺🇬🇧
I think in an attempt to reduce the fixture congestion and bridge the gap between the PL and the EFL they should expand the PL from 20 teams to 2 tiers of 16 teams each (30 game seasons), sharing revenues across 32 clubs in the pyramid instead of just 20. This would allow the EFL to focus on 60 teams instead of 72 and they could have 3 divisions of 20 teams each (the 3rd tier and a 4th tier north and south). Regionalizing the 4th tier would reduce travel expenses for the bottom 40 clubs in the 92. They should also add an extra relegation and promotion spot to encourage movement between the leagues and reduce how desperate clubs operate to gain promotion. There should be 4 promotions/ relegations between the 4th tier and non league also.
What a disgrace
This has been comming with Sky Sport and Premier League having so much power, has now killed F.A Cup for the smaller football clubs. I loose interst in the F.A Cup once the so called big Premier leagues teams enter the competition, and not watch the final since it returned to Wembly all those years ago.
Europa conference, champions league expansion, so many international breaks its any wonder there was pressure on the FA to do this .
The big clubs usually undermine the competition by playing their reserve team and then they complain if a replay is needed. This is all about the bigger clubs making even more money from all those (seemingly endless and pointless) European competitions.
The game is dominated by SKY and the big clubs.... I understand the modern day football fan being obsessed with Sky, but I'm sorry to say that basically allowing a TV company to run the game, will inevitably lead to astonishing damaging decisions in the future. To get rid of FA Cup replays is an utter disgrace.
In 2 months fa has ruined the new England shirt and ruined the fa cup
Well said Chris
In my opinion this arrangement is to give the champions league teams time and energy to tackle the likes of Madrid and Bayern during the later stages of the competition
What about the independent regulator
With the exception of all premier league teams and teams that play in the same league, a team from a lower division should decide which ground the game is played at.
It could negate some of the financial losses.
The FA keep doing this , they have a history of not listening to fans ...
No way are these new rules going to enhance the FA Cup. The competition is becoming less appealing every season ... except for watching the numbers being drawn out of the hat ( Bowl ) if the FA want to enhance and bring back the sparkle to the competition then go back to the old traditions that once made it exciting to watch. The FA Cup needs the whole of the old traditions that made it special in the first place - All games to be played on Saturday afternoon at 3:00pm with replays in midweek at 7:30 pm, Semi Finals to be played at neutral grounds ... we have some great new stadiums now for the Semi finals to be played, The Final at the END of the season with a 3:00 pm kick off on Saturday afternoon.
As much as I hare Wilder, he has a point.
Did someone say something?
Also the efl teams /national league teams if they get a good/big team and get a replay tee revenue is sometimes MASSIVE
so why punish them. Maidstone for an example there fa cup run this season has been financially superb
Fa cup has tradition and replays are part of the tradition, pep today made a good point his team played 120 minutes midweek yet (man u, chelsea, Coventry didn't play midweek)
TV rights and the big boy teams have won.
I'd like to see the league Cup scrapped and reverse the new champions league format, if we want to see the best football give the players a proper break to protect the beautiful game instead of killing off the fa cup
To save you watching the video, those proposed 2024/25 FA Cup changes, in brief:
1. No replays
2. Preliminary Rounds and Rounds 1 to 5 to be scrapped. The competition atarts with the Quarter Finals, featuring the PL top 8 clubs at the end of this season. This removes the need for lots of one sided matches and means less fixtures for all clubs, as well as saving on travel for all those clubs who have no chance of winning the FA Cup.
3. The top 8 clubs will all feature their reserve teams (no real change there then).
4. Proposal that the 2025/26 FA Cup will scrap all rounds and just have the Final, contested by the two clubs with the biggest bank balances (as usually happens anyway).
5 Proposal that the 2026/27 FA Cup scraps the Final and the cup will be awarded to the club with the biggest bank balance.
6. From 2027 to the forseeable future: see number 5.
Hope that helps to clarify things
The FA and UEFA have effectively spent the last 5 years trying to find the best way possible to maximise profits with new tournaments whilst reorganising the football calendar in order to maximise viewing figures I.e more profits.
Blame the big boys all you want but this is in response to the creation of extra European competitions.
FA and UEFA are just going along with it because Top teir football is there bank balance.
Good move.
- Replays are pointless.
- Exclusive weekends will raise profile of cup.
- More penalty shoot outs. More upsets on the day.
Oh shut up 🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐
Who do you support 🤔
@@jonathanlemonwrestlingshow9251 Grow up, child.
@@Lioness_UTV English football.
Plastic fan
They have been destroying the oldest the the most nostalgic football competition in the world so as to get better schedule to great teams. The bottom line,the money talks.
The worst thing ever to happen to the footballing pyramid was the creation of the Premier League.
Just give the lower league clubs the option to forfeit home advantage if they would prefer to play at the larger ground for greater gate receipts. No need for the replays just allow flexibility on the ground choice between the clubs.
And the Premier League has removed the mid-season winter break! What's wrong with them?
Teams should Play their Second Teams, Not First Teams..
Why are so much people upset by this? This is good da cup replays aren’t good for fixture congestion and don’t add anything to the game
Big money talks. What a crazy decision. The magic of the FA cup has taken a kick in the nuts. Typical FA
Does david Ornstein have a proposal to fix it then or is he juat going to complain
There was no justifiable reason to change it
Its bigger than this. You can see how in the end football will become not the street n public game that we know but exclusivity due to cash flow. It feels like that 133million is bribey
Hasn't the cup final already been before the end of the PL season for the last few years, or am I going mad??
Nope
They should not play semi finals at Wembley either
Seems to me like another nail in the coffin for non Premier League clubs and another brick in the wall of the great divide as the Premier League clubs detach themselves further. A sad day and a major blow to non PL clubs.
Keep the replays and scrap the league cup.
The fans have all the power.
The FA cup has just lost it’s magic. Rounds played in midweek to help the big clubs no doubt about it. Money definitely - TV channels dictating when games are played, semi finals played at Wembley and the final played in the early evening. The final game of the season use to be the FA cup final, it was the main spectacle to end a season. FA are clueless and do not care about the fans! Money talks and it favours the big clubs. You just have to see since 2000 for example what clubs have won the competition, all premier league!
league two teams can beat championship teams without a replay even more better
Would be better to scrap the Caraboa cup.
David is exactly right....just going after money ...scrap the love we have for the game ....
What next? Will the Premier League decide that Everton are to blame for replays existing in the first place and decide to dock them more points???.........
They should start with taking away the two legged semi in the league cup but I betcha there's politics and ego's involved that decision.
Good
Just scrap it if the FA wants to keep changing traditions 😢
FA cup on the weekends? Our teams are already bloody tired playing 2-3 games a week, just means cramming more games in on weekdays. Ruining football quality.
Just let the top 6 form their own 'super fa cup' and leave everyone else to it
Money talks, especially in the Premier League. Fairness ? 😂😂
Sly Six… SKY SPORTS… FA…Richie Masters …all go hand in hand 💰💰💰💰💰💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💵💵💵💵💵💰💰💰💰💰💰
Give the fa cup to efl leagues ,Premiership tbh don't need it, you can have it with ya Johnston paint trophy .pain in the arse cup.
Sad that the big ten or twelve dictate to the rest of the pyramid of leagues and the FA are pathetic.😮
Just make big clubs play. every round away unless they draw club from same division
Only a small minority want these changes, they are being forced upon the majority. Most clubs in the lower divisions know that they arent going to win the competition , the "magic" of the Cup for them is playing a team a few divisions above them and taking it to a replay. It is also a major income for smaller clubs, the funding from the top down is non existant.
Might as well scrap it without replays. What a joke.
Get rid of the Carbo cup, and put more focus on the FA cup as that has always been cup of dreams.
I don't really know how important the Carbo cup is to lower league clubs so forgive my ignorance.
Who cares most people who are complaining have no intention to watch solihull or yeovil town
Not homie playing for a draw to get more money?
The game has been dictated by the big clubs for a long time. If you don't like it, why don't you kick the big clubs to the Super League (dead, yet alive in the dark) and have your own league? Besides as long as you remail in the PL, you are financially better than OK. Just do your best not to get relegated. A minor opinion from the Far East.
We need to create a law to disclose player salaries.
European football leagues must disclose salaries I don't understand why many football fans are against revealing players' contract salaries. I think player salaries are either too low or overrated. I think Haaland's annual salary is over $50 million. Honestly, there is no way the EPL salary would be that low. Does anyone know anything about Mbappe's contract? Why didn't you make it public in the first place? I don't know if it's after tax or before tax. The media always says different things. The same goes for the salaries of Griezmann and Suarez during their time in Barcelona. To begin with, La Liga is not sure whether some players' salaries are before or after tax. Always changing. First of all, the salaries of Messi and Ronaldo from 2011 to 2018 are estimated to be after-tax salaries.) And this is not accurate regarding Messi's contract. Laporta said Messi's salary must be paid until 2025. How much did he get paid? And many believe Mane's wages at Liverpool were £100,000 a week. First of all, Mane's agent said his salary is higher than reported in the media.American leagues disclose salaries. Messi's annual salary for 2023, as revealed by the MLS Players' Association, is $20 million. The base annual salary is $12 million. The media reports that it is over $50 million, but in reality it is much less than this. Conversely, if you look at the wage bill, EPL clubs spend more money than the media reports, with Manchester City spending more than 300 million pounds, and Liverpool and Chelsea spending more than 250 million pounds. (Please disclose player salaries, contracts, and salaries.
And why are some people asking (there will be comments asking why I don't disclose my salary, but I'm an ordinary person. Are ordinary people and sports players the same? And there is FFP in European soccer) La Liga also has a salary cap. If I were a soccer player.I would agree to disclosure of my salary. i am asian. Why do people who are opposed to revealing player salaries say that some players have high or low salaries? Football's wage is It's an estimate and unofficial. . , commentators, coaches, and even other players in the league don't know a player's contract and salary...As a side note, Saudi money is exaggerated. A Saudi reporter said that Benzema's annual salary is $50 million. Jordan Henderson's weekly salary was also not what was reported in the media
I ain't reading all that😂
Mr Story Writer. Do you have privacy? Contract contains the salary and it is public if you need it go to the club. Business Audit should be published not personal salaries. Contracts, clause and monetary value can be published also this issue has to do with the League, Tax(Government) and the clubs.
"Oh I need to know about other's personal lives so that I can have a peace of mind". You are not entitled to know how much any person earns.
@@smol6193 Yes. You can know the contract value but not tbe exact money
Send the top six on their way to join a European Super League and leave the rest of us to protect our great Englush football heritage. This is just more European football generating more lucre for the big six clubs at the expense of our great football heritage which needs protecting from these vultures.
this is hilarious. fans have been begging for less cup games for years and now it finally happens and everyone decides to start virtue signaling about some small clubs they dont care about. suddenly the narrative is "this is just to help big clubs" when the reality is that its fans and players that wanted less replays and a better schedule.
There should be fewer European games, that's where there's too much. But money is all that counts now...
No they haven't, not in the way you are stating. No one said go ahead and hack away at the oldest football competition in the world where all english teams come together. The FA has no sense of heritage, protecting lower league clubs nor its fans. It's corruption wrapped up in a bow, the FA has always been like this, only interested in lining their own pockets.
The response to this by clubs and fans is hot air. Non EPL clubs should refuse to participate, but they won’t. Fans of non EPL clubs should stop subsidising the EPL and cancel their Sky and BT subscriptions, but they won’t. So cowardly clubs and spineless fans should stop bleating, and start to use the power they have.
Its called Emirates FA Cup because the Emirates own this Cup....and now they start to play with their Toy.
Welcome to reality
This new rule will make the cup a lot more interesting. If teams know they only have only one chance they will play a lot harder to win. We may see a lot of Premier league teams being knocked out by the lower league teams. All the babies crying 👶🍼 about this new rules are the type of people who would want FIFA to add replays in the Word Cup so that the smaller countries can win the world cup.
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Joke! End of.
England is complaining big clubs dicating things? Go to Spain, Germany, and even France, and see what big club dictation really is.
Those are the boss like Madrid suing LaLiga and Winnning
In the first place, everything is centered around the strong, so why should the weak have an advantage? Honestly, the Big 6 are most popular, but no one knows about some Premier League teams. The big clubs rule everything.
And you think this is a good thing?
Yes. It's a good thing. As a foreign fan (I'm not American), please abolish the promotion and relegation system.
@@uservg6wr1sp6p that's literally the worst thing anyone's said, promotion/relegation is what makes football exciting!
@@uservg6wr1sp6p you clearly don't understand the reasoning behind it and how sports fans in the US etc now admire the risk and reward of relegation as their sports are stagnant and boring.
Yeah a replay is actually boring

you peaked too soon, you melt
This aged well
Cry more kid
Good,replays were always garbage.
Explain to me how?
@@hier6238 it's so annoying seeing the fist round take so much longer to complete cause 20 games resulted in a draw,imagine if they did that garbage for the word cup,it would effectively destroy the tournament.
But the FA cup isn't the world cup. I don't get your point. Do you think getting rid of a second leg in the champions league would make that better?
@@nb1d275 but a second leg is not the same as a replay, the scores from both legs are relevant. A "replay" is just boring, and if that it drawn as well anyway it's decided on penalties, so why not do it the first time itself?
Shut the hell up deluded Clown 🤡 Replays brings money to the small clubs and Its not The World Cup 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
