I have no comment on this but just to say .....At Last!  A non Enzo related thread 😂😂

Speedrun to **** football up as much as possible 

[RonnieTodger]

Excellent. Another change to football that no one asked for!

[lcfcbluearmy]

Another completely crap idea, actually sort of changed my opinion half way through writing this.

 

I originally thought that it should as it has always been luck of the draw but then this meams we will get less prem vs prem games and more chance for smaller clubs to get the attention and money they diserve

Another carve up to suit the bigger clubs

Exactly this.

Reading the proposal - it's the type of seeding that's happened before and currently does happen in Rounds 1/2

Does it need to be though ?

 

Clubs will just play weaken teams as they do now if there is fixture congestion.

Damn you for this, Rudkin. Damn you to hell. 

[Hitesh]

Pointless, ridiculous, greedy money grabbing change.

I didn't think Round 2 was seeded, just regionalised?

[Ted Maul]

Basically so the bigger clubs can rest their players until they have a sniff of silverware. 

 

The 'big 6' are a cancer on the English game and it's rotting away from within. Wonder how many clubs they consulted/allowed a vote on this?

I'm sick of this narrative. They have to graft and work for everything just as much as we do. Name me one time they actually got their own way?

The aqueduct?

[Webbo]

If the non seeded teams all.get to play at home,  I can see this being welcomed by the smaller teams.

Were they being sarcastic maybe ?!

[UniFox21]

Why was this even needed? 

Big teams meeting early on literally gave other sides a chance at winning the competition 

[Chrysalis]

Ideological decision, they want the late rounds to be all the biggest clubs.

 

I think there already is hidden seeding on league fixtures, notice how Manchester United vs Liverpool is never the first game of the season?

Nobody cares at this point. In a few years they will tell you you're not allowed to go to a stadium or buy a ticket if you don't own an electric vehicle and people will be on the queue clapping like they did for NHS.

I've just been in touch with some Algerians on Facebook who were part of the 'free Mehrez' campaign and asked for their help. Starting a 'Justoce fir the bog sax' group
