I think the solution personally is a smaller PL with 18 teams as opposed to 20. Guaranteed 4 games less a season. Keep replays maybe drop 2 leffed semis in league cup, semis are the only round where there's 2 legs in the League cup.

Probably not, but if it was to grow and include clubs further up the chain?
It would have to be the majority of EFL clubs pulling out of the competition. A fans protest is too easily ignored by the men in suits.

Nah, I see what you mean but nah, The PL was created smaller orginally that was the whole point. If you make the Premier League smaller still less clubs benefit and relegation and promotion to the PL may be restricted - its the start of a slippery slope my friend
