Premier League agrees the "New Deal for Football" aka please don't regulate us.

No league cup for teams in Europe means one less trophy to go for! Why don’t they leave it up to the clubs who are in Europe to decide if they want to play in it?

If you win this now as a club not in Europe it count as a Micky mouse trophy even more without a top 7 team not in it!

Because the games will likely be at the same time as the expanded Cl games
 
I see a mid season break has been brought in by stealth on the back of this shitty WC.

Only a week so far but it'll grow.
 
This could cause issues for teams in Europe:

Teams can spend over the 70% of income on wages in the PL yet UEFA have a cap of 70%
So you can abide with PL rules but may be sanctioned by UEFA

The current FFP rules are stricter for UEFA competition than they are for PL, so no change really

What a load of shite.

Why are they trying to dilute football?

I went 40 odd years hoping we'd win the league Cup or any cup as a matter of fact, and now we're not going to be competing in it?

I'd rather not be in Europe and play in it, it has prestige and is woven into the fabric of football in England.

Agree with your sentiments, I felt very fortunate to be able to see City play in 2 League Cup Finals at Wembley in the mid 70s (one rather more enjoyable than the other!) Even though it has never quite had the glamour of the FA Cup,it is still a famous, major trophy well worth winning. Ironically in recent years a lot more of the 'bigger ' teams seem to take it more seriously.
This idea does undoubtedly dilute football.
If ,during our 'trophyless years' we'd have won a domestic trophy without the big boys taking part it wouldn't have been the same.
This just turns the League Cup into a more glamorous Full Members Cup.
Personally I feel they should reduce the teams / matches in theCL (and the other European 2 comps) not increase them. Still..money talks I guess!
