      Yeah I get where you’re coming from re the Old Wembley Nil and the Twin Towers were very special and the two big black doors that opened up to let in the player coaches but it was getting tired and old and would have probably cost a lot more to modernise than start again personally I would have gone with modernisation and retained the Towers.

        Mikus,

        unfortunately, there in lies the problem. That type of figure you’ve stated is now deemed a drop in the ocean, but already, there is a better distribution of money in the Prem from TV Revenue.

        Clearly, there’s a gulf, and there’s more choice for those in the Prem regularly able to qualify for either Europa or Champions League.

        Even for those who don’t the attitudes and mindset from club Hierarchy is changing so the reward for winning a Trophy for the fans comes second and generating Revenue is Priority Number One (plus of course Prem Status).

        Players from Teams regularly featured in the First 11 wont be risked.

        Sadly to a degree, these are the times we are living in. The polar opposite is those teams below us outside the Prem relish getting past the 3rd, 4th and 5th, because not only is it an outing for them and to play the Big Teams, but it’s a huge pay-out for them in the Piggy Bank.

          Pagan@9:34pm 6.5 Each Club shall play its full available strength in and during all Cup Competition matches, unless some satisfactory reason is given. The Board will from time to time issue a policy as to what constitutes ‘full available strength’. In the event of the explanation not being deemed satisfactory the Management Committee shall have power to impose such penalties as they shall think fit. The provisions governing disciplinary matters in relation to the Competition are contained in Rule 24.

          Think the above League Cup ruling would probably prevent Club’s fielding full U 21/U23 teams in the League Cup.

                9, sorry it’s a late reply, thanks for that, however the league cup has its own rules, I’m pretty sure yellow cards don’t count towards the player’s league total as the ones picked up in the FA cup do. It’s a mute point though as nothing will change….Pagan

                  Moos, just hanging in there.

                  Every other retrospective clip I see on BBC re Solskjaer gives me bad reminders!

                  I know this a forum where I’ve developed good relationships, but post 1996 FA Cup Final in itself, and Ferguson Steamroll, I would find it hard to be any form of Purist.

                    Pagan, you’ve lost me mate the rule I highlighted was in ref to the League Cup and playing weakened teams but as you say every which way it’s a mute point.

                      Trying to hang in there; just find it hard to watch. Not so much the cancelling each other out, but there’s just no entertaining football; no individual skill so far, no nothing.

                      Barely out of First Gear and consuming time, thus free money!
