I'm guessing it ain't happening. Very very disappointed with our silence on this. You'd think we would be kind of pissed off too since we with all the others weren't consulted. I hope we are not bowing down to those above. The state of what is happening in general is depressing. I just cannot stand the hypocrisy and lies. It's not about player welfare. It never has been. They wouldn't stay quiet about Europe expansion if it was. Or friendlies on the other side of the world. Against teams in the same damn division. It makes me sick, how the game is being eroded because of the rich wanting to be richer. The game is borked. Has been going this way since the introduction of the premier league. Give them an inch. They will always take a mile. Until we genuinely fight back. Nothing will change. They will not change. We give them no replays from 5th round onwards. Not enough. Give them 5 subs. Not enough. A winter break. Not enough. Nothing will ever be enough until every game they play is a huge money spinner. Preferably in a far away country. I'm glad we aren't in that horrible money driven and obsessed league. Don't get me wrong, I want us to win every game. But the thought of being with those elitist greedy ******* doesn't excite me.

I believe so. Hopefully the first of many.

Pressure is mounting. More and more clubs releasing statements condemning the decision. Needs championship teams to grow a backbone though.

Nothing from us or any championship club officially as far as I'm aware. It makes it seem like championship teams don't want to upset the overlords....

The bigger issue has to be the way the decision has come about. This has serious ramifications imo if allowed.

They can't say that. Man Utd withdrawing that one year set a precedent.

Yeah, as it turns out the EFL clubs weren't consulted. That is unbelievable imo. It's one thing to be fine with scrapping replays. But the dodgy backroom way they've gone about it should worry everybody. The game is seemingly being run by a few clubs in the premier league in all but name. It's elitist, arrogant, scummy. And not to benefit of football as a whole in this country. The FA should be thoroughly ashamed by this. They are supposed to be the governing body. They are clearly not fit for purpose.

Disgraceful decision. Interesting that they said "the fa and premier league" More teams involved in the fa cup no? And the chairman of Accrington said they weren't consulted on this at all. https://twitter.com/AndyhHolt/status/1780918644936990941?t=QWprSNWmUOl7UelR0729RQ&s=19

Wow. Being robbed

Well then, he needs to be first out of the door. The complete arrogance is unreal and I can only assume its purely ego driven. And the lansdowns falling for his bullshit once again is actually astonishing. Complete and utter incompetence to be hoodwinked by what I feel almost inclined to call a charlatan.

I'm just extremely angry with the people that made this farcical decision to sack Pearson for Manning. Just so unbelievablely arrogant. If Tinnion had a hand in this then he 100% needs to go with Manning.

Interesting changing of goalposts by the club. What a shock. They all got it so easy haven't they. All nice and cushy for them. Mid table is the very best we can realistically expect with these total clowns at the club. It's like they don't want to progress. Otherwise it hardly makes any sense to get rid of Pearson.

Well he had to give a some kind of reason behind sacking Pearson. I'd want Tinnion gone along with him.

Oh wow.

Tinnion way above his station and clearly holds to much influence.
