Not attempting to bump this.
This isn’t a tournament that I respect but it’s City news and it’s factual so I thought I’d put it out there. Won’t say any more on it.

I will continue to boycott this competition while they allow under 23 teams. Can’t wait for Newcastle v Sunderland Under 23’s

Any major rivalries will be avoided so that they can keep police costs down.
The reality is this tournament is here to stay and now worth around 500k to the winner (over 200k from prize money). All losses are covered by the EFL so no risk for clubs.IanHirst and Interested Bystander like this. -

Getting ever more ridiculous, they don't even invite the U23 sides now before doing the draw?

Not worth a thread.
Apologies for my response, which will bump this bollox. -

They respect what I'm doing and think I'm great.
Wait, this isn't the Donald Trump quotes thread is it?

The changes were initially made to assist the revitalisation of a flagging competition, whilst also creating playing opportunities for young players and providing increased revenue for EFL clubs.
Clubs were given the opportunity to fully air their views on the direction of travel and, based on the feedback received, the EFL Executive will now work up a formal proposal for 2019/20 and beyond ahead of the next club meeting in September.
Meanwhile, a number of minor rule changes were confirmed for 2018/19 with EFL clubs now being given the opportunity to name players who are out on-loan at National League clubs, whilst invited teams will only be able to name two players who are over the age of 21 and have made more than 40 First Team appearances."Stop hovering to collapse...

The EFL Trophy is set to continue, in its current format, for a further three seasons.
More worryingly, it seems that the vote in favour exceeded 90% (39 of the 42 Clubs that voted). As I understand it 90% is the threshold set for allowing 'B teams' into the Football League itself.
