French Football League scrap League Cup from next season...

Callumcafc

This means England are the only “top five” footballing country to still have a League Cup competition.

Will the FA/EFL look to do the same?

Premier League not interested in it until the later stages so make the League Cup just for EFL clubs and scrap the Checkatrade Trophy.

Two EFL clubs get a day out at Wembley.

Everyone knows this makes perfect sense.

Would probably even generate more cash overall in the end.

But it won't happen!

Clubs like Everton and West Ham may not agree. Both have fielded strong teams so far in this season's competition.

And place in Europe for the winners if not qualified in other competition,  but unlike FA Cup losers never get Euro place.

I'm struggling to care either way. It's only one game a season.

Kick the EPL out. Replace them with NLP teams.
The winner gets a place in the EPL.

FA Cup final losers no longer get a place if the winners finish top 4.
Europa League spot goes to next highest league position.
