I think that the winner goes as fourth place in Champions League is great idea if you want the FA Cup to carry some stigma and make teams keen to play in it. FA Cup was always a true part of football in this country, something to be treasured.
The way football is going is like the way the country is being run at present, out of touch with the average persons ideas. Looking after the elite.

Whilst I agree completely, UEFA rules don't allow it.
UCL is for league champions and top performing teams in top leagues
UEL is what all cup winners qualify for (runners up no longer allowed) and then some league teams
UECL is for lower ranked leagues along with some lower finishing teams from higher leagues

I think the FA cup carries enough stigma as it is; I would rather it had some reverence. I agree that the fourth Champions league place should go to the winners. Either that, or revert to only Champions play in the Champions league/cup, Cup winners play in the Cup Winners cup, and other top teams play in the EUFA cup. |

I agree, it's ridiculous now that nearly half of the Premier league teams get to qualify for Europe and with the European tournaments playing even more games next season it's only going to get worse. I can understand TV companies wanting to show Liverpool v Barcelona but are there really fans who want to watch say, Brentford v FC Bongobongo of Albania on a Thursday night? Only the league champions, Fa Cup winners and league cup winners should qualify for Europe and all European games should be two legged knockouts. Then there'd be plenty of space in the calendar to reinstate FA Cup replays |
