To make the FA Cup more prestigious....

MickM86 · April 5, 2013

I think the winners should get the equivalent of 4th place in the premiership. Do away with 4th place for champions league. Top three and the FA Cup winner. Does anybody else agree with this? More teams will focus on the greatest cup competition of all time even more and it will certainly bring some magic back into it. It's the ****ing FA CUP!!

It would be depressing as all hell if people would only value the fa cup if it became a pathway to the CL.

Why is 'winning the fa cup' not incentive enough?

Was just about to say this.

It would tarnish it further.

I like the idea that a team lower down in the league can have a cup run and then get a chance to play in the CL the next year. It opens it up for teams who aren't in the top 4 race to get some additional revenue

Get it back to the very last game of the season, make the kick off 3pm, give it back to the BBC, take the semi's away from Wembley.

These.

And for the final, in a 90,000 capacity stadium, give each side 40,000 tickets at least, and [Poor language removed] off this "football family" pish.

dont agree with the F.A cup getting a CL place. Its more fair 4th place getting as anything can happen in a cup on the day where overall 4th as it over a season.

Hell no.

The FA Cup winner is not more deserving of qualifying for the Champions League than the 4th placed league side.

4th place is not more deserving for qualifying for the Champions League than the Champions

That would last as long as it took for the ****e to finish fourth and a lower-placed team to win the FA Cup.
