Deeney, Bacon, and no Leasing.com trophy…
You’ve been asking your questions on Twitter, and once again there is a mixture of topics to talk about, so let’s dig straight in!
I cannot see the tournament simply being scrapped. With companies bidding for sponsorship, it would probably be tough to not allow it to be played. What I think should happen, is for the trophy to revert back to its previous format. Scrap the academy teams, scrap the group stage and simply make it a straight knockout. That way, teams won’t be tied in to an automatic 3 matches. It will also mean that, if you do play 3 matches, you will be much further in the tournament, and therefore the rewards will be greater.
