‘The agreement which now sees the abolition of replays from the competition format was agree solely between the. Premier League and FA,’ the English Football League said in a statement last year.
‘Ahead of the deal being announce there was no agreement with the EFL nor was there any formal consultation with EFL Clubs as members of the FA and participants in the competition.
‘This latest agreement between the Premier League and the FA, in the absence of financial reform, is just a further example of how the EFL and its Clubs are being marginalised in favour of others further up the pyramid and that only serves to threaten the future of the English game.’
