Is Shaun Harvey speaking for Football League clubs or is he already completely in the pocket of the Premier league and lining up his next job? I think the latter.
This certainly makes things even clearer and I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. I'd rather generate income at my club than be even more on a string with the self centred Premier League.
"FA Cup replays could be scrapped and the fourth and fifth rounds moved to midweek nights to accommodate a winter break in England, says Football League chief executive Shaun Harvey.
Harvey said the move would allow more weekend games and generate income for increased solidarity payments from the Premier League to the Football League.
It will also, he says, fill a £20m gap caused by leagues from the Championship down being cut by up to four clubs."
