I hope we are to follow, and I hope the club are willing to join other clubs taking a stand.
If you give the FA and PL an inch, they will soon take a mile.

On the day of the draw, lowest ranked team gets home advantage. Decided on the day. One shot at it.
There will be more giant killing, even Bayern Munich have been knocked out by village teams.

That’s the problem though. Nobody has had a proper chance to express an opinion. The big clubs have just had their way.
I hope teams boycott

They won’t the prize money is too valuable.
I reckon the EFL management is only annoyed that they weren’t consulted when the final decision was made. They have been debating it openly and hoped to use it as a bargaining chip as part of a renegotiated deal for more trickle down payments from the Premiership.
Having said that it is nice to see the FA looking after the entire pyramid by brown nosing around the PFL.

There are 3 EFL board members on the FA board who agreed to the change, they can't say they weren't consulted when they're the ones who agreed to it!

Yes, a number of national press journalists are saying it’s been on the table since the end of the last year. Kieran Maguire mentioned the possibility in one of his Price of Football podcasts discussing the offer of more cash for EFL clubs.
He also mentioned the EFL Cup, the semi finalists earn little over £100,000, which doesn’t touch the side of the prize for winning one group game in the Champions League at €2.8M.
Expect another round of negotiations next year, PL clubs to not play in the EFL Cup, for a little more cash for lower league clubs.

I thought the mega rich clubs playing in Europe didn't enter the FA Cup until round 4. My bad.

That's in the League Cup not the FA Cup, they all come in in 3rd round in the FA Cup.

Cheers.
At the time of writing, there have been statements from 4 x Premier League Clubs, 8 x Championship, 15 x League 1, 18 x League 2 and 7 x National League. I'm assuming we've been busy helping those clubs confirm their position before we confirm ours...
