This would have been the perfect time to either scrap the EFL Trophy or put it back to knockout football. Is last years final going to even get played?

Going out of the league cup early, eases that somewhat though.

2 cup games prior to the start of the league is interesting.

Only a little over 3 weeks till its back!

Particularly as it has no sponsor this year so, presumably, there's no contractual obligation to run it.

We established yesterday it now has a massive purpose. Linking bonus payments to it so they can excluded from the cap!

Money that Swindon enjoy a rare cup run! Reality is I imagine this will be the tone for the season especially if games are postponed due to positive cases.

EFL Trophy's place in the schedule is disappointing especially as there are no sponsors. You think Wellens will risk a strong squad going into the first L1 game? If EFL issue fines then god help them.

I still don't get the rush to get this complete by May next year, they'd be better off extending the season into June, sack off international football indefinitely as it adds no real value in the grand scheme of things, this should have been the perfect opportunity to get rid of the Qatar world cup.

Think we'll see a lot of 1 minute appearances in it this season....

Or just have a years hiatus whilst someone decides whether to put it out of its misery!

I see little chance of it being done by next May, just look at the shit show already in Scotland.

I know replays generate money but I hope that'll be the end of them beyond this coming season. Such a dated idea, in my opinion.

I think I can remember us having a league cup game in the 90s (possibly against Bolton) that went to about 3 or 4 replays before we progressed??
