The FA could be set to undergo some radical changes in a bid to regenerate interest in the once-glamorous competition.
FA chairman David Bernstein has sanctioned a think-tank to come up with ways of revamping the cup for the 2012/13 season.
The suggestions so far have included the qualification to the Champions League for the FA Cup winners, the scrapping of replays, seeding the Premier League clubs to ensure a greater chance of smaller clubs facing one of the bigger teams and playing games in mid-week.
The new-style FA Cup will be launched the season after next and could include a new TV deal with the FA cup final being moved from the traditional 3pm kick-off time on Saturday to 5.30pm.
