The FA and Premier League will be providing an additional £33m for support in the FA cup towards grassroots.

They should of implemented a rule of 'a maximum of 4 or 5 none English players allowed in a match day squad for FA cup games'.

This would of been better for grassroots and top clubs bringing more homegrown youth into the first team picture.

With the fa cup if they are going to scrap replays then what I think they should do is the following.
Keep replays upto the 3rd round as it doesn't effect the big boys
For the 3rd round
All non league teams that are left in the competition get drawn at home against a premier league. Once all the non league teams have been drawn then league 2 teams get drawn until all premier league teams have been drawn if all league 2 have been drawn then any remaining prem teams it goes back to a free for all and if there Any remaining league 2 teams after the prem teams have been drawn then they go against championship teams then it's a free for all.
They can start the fixtures on a Wednesday with 2 games 6pm and 8pm
Thursday 2 games 6pm and 8pm
Friday 2 games 6pm and 8pm
Saturday and Sunday 5 games 12pm 2pm 4pm 6pm 8pm
Monday 2 games 6pm 8pm
Tuesday 2 games 6pm 8pm

No extra time straight to penaltys

This way all games involving a prem team would be televised and hopefully don't over run.
all tv rights gate receipts go to the non prem side / championship side.
The prem team would win and they get to keep the prize money for qualifying for the next round. This way I think everyone wins.
We get the david and goliath matches
The fans get a memory
We should see lots of goals
And there's more chance of a major upset.
Hope that makes sense.
