And the more seriously the top clubs take it the stronger the competition becomes. Also I address the point about the financial benefits of replays to smaller clubs by suggesting gate/tv revenue is more heavily weighted in their favour to compensate for no replays.

Thanks for your feedback even though you thought it was “crap” haha

“Very few things encourage the ire of the big four/six clubs more than a cup replay popping up at the ‘business end’ of the season. ”

Well, if Manyoo and Arsenal don’t like it, who cares that a double-header against glamorous opposition keeps smaller clubs in business. Fuck ‘em.

All hail the Sky Four!
