3 is a good option. Wembley should be for finals only.
Increasing prize money in all rounds is a good way for the smaller and mid-size clubs to take the competition more seriously (especially including us).
Scrapping extra time also a good idea.

Re: Reviving the FA Cup .... ideas ?
Don’t think a CL spot is a viable option. UEFA decide who gets invited, not the FA.
Edit: It certainly isn’t. UEFA’s criteria is for league position only unless you win the previous CL.

Re: 57% - Have we won a game under SD with higher possession?
xG worth noting - higher than the opposition in both our wins, with plenty more chances created too. Don’t think I’ve seen that before at the best of times, not least after Boxing Day - if we can keep this up it’ll be a remarkable turnaround.
