Do the winners of the FA cup get this extra cash or does it go in the FA pockets?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Good question, Kash, and I don't know the answer.
Perhaps if £20m goes to the winners then the competition will regain its edge it once enjoyed.
But I am more concerned with the name and its other associations.
Emirates is not going to concern me as much as it might with Spurs fan. I couldn't really care if it had a sponsor or not.
Its a bit too late to be concerned about protecting institutions and traditions now. If you accept the hundreds of millions you get from tv companies and sponsors every year and with it buying the best players possible for your team then you have to put up with the downsides of recieving that cash.
its all down to this obsession with the top 4,iam fed up with it tbh.
The FA Cup has become a joke now, basically a reserve team competition like the League Cup up to the semis. Pretty well all domestic football has been feccccked for the sacred cash cow.
As you may know I am not that in love with the modern game.
Mr Chelsea โช

What you mean is the top two or three richests clubs buy all the best players, and the rest get the leftovers. Football is finished in his country as a serious competitive sport. The richest teams win all the prizes.
Arsenal won £1.8m last year for winning FA Cup. That's a drop in the ocean. If by adding a sponsor it goes up to £10m the interest will be generated for sure. However I doubt the FA will make such a move. This sponsor money is more for there own pockets.
Nah the interest is gone in the FA Cup Kash. It isnt what it once was imo. Even the Champions League format is getting a bit boring. Problem is, there's too much football available for everyone and its not a treat to watch the good teams and the best players anymore. We see football on our tvs every single day. People losing interest. That's a diff debate though.

It was only a few days you were highlighting Arsenal as taking the cup seriously as opposed to us who fielded weakened teams
Has anyone consider the FA still have an £800m national stadium to pay off, namely Wembley.
The FA Cup has been sponsored for years.
It was called the FA Cup sponsored by Littlewoods for a few years, then The AXA sponsored FA Cup, followed by The FA Cup sponsored by E.ON and now The FA Cup with Budweiser.
I think this disdain towards the FA Cup may have more to do with Arsenal reaching the final for the second consequetive season than it being sponsored for over 20 years...

As usual, a personal perspective rather than an objective answer. And, of course, this leads to a rubbish self centred response.
It has nothing to do with Arsenal and their FA cup. Who notices these days other than Arsenal fans, or the winning fans.
No, it is Arsenal biased article, but more to do with the association of the naming rights, as if the Emirates cup has a rightful home at Highbury or thereabouts, and a further promotion of the Arsenal brand to the detriment of other brands in football.

I think Sandy is more than capable of answering for himself, but I read into what he was saying is that we should take all competitions seriously and play full strength sides rather than chasing one competition and failing and having a poor season.

The FA cup has had numerous sponsors over the years, I couldn't give a monkeys who sponsors it next. Makes no difference to me. If we can win it then happy days, even more so with a tasty financial reward for us ๐๐พ
I can't imagine the FA would sign a multi-million pound deal just so they can give the winners of the FA Cup (more than likely an already wealthy PL club) more money.
The FA Cup should never be about money, it is the oldest & greatest cup competition in the World.
It used to be the only time you could get a game at Wembley was to either represent your country there or to get to either The FA Cup final or The Football League Cup final.
Now every opportunity the FA get they put matches on at Wembley. I am not denigrating the play offs, but they should not be at Wembley, they should be played at grounds like Old Trafford, The Emirates, Villa Park etc.
As Mr Chelsea said, we have so much football on television these days, we are spoilt for choice.
I occasionally watch matches from abroad but lose interest after a short while. As for PL matches I normally only watch Spurs live, with the odd other team occasionally.
Familiarity tends to breed contempt..........................
Oooooooooooooooooops I forgot the FA Cup semis................................same as play offs, should not be at Wembley at all!

Join the club Genius, I only ever watch Spurs now. The foreign games have no interest to me whatsoever, and the Prem is becoming boring. Haven`t watched a minute of CL footie this season, and probably will not. Saturated TV football has killed it for me.

On the contrary. I watch plenty of football rather than just watch Spurs. There are plenty of quality teams and players to watch

I think the FA Cup definitely has seniority on its side.
It is universally broadcast around the World, which does not happen to any other domestic final from other countries.
The World Cup is no longer about football, more about who can bribe who & who gets rich off the back of countries aspiring to host it.
The Champions League has become a "behemoth", and the chances of an outsider winning it are very unlikely. You could probably pick four or five clubs capable of winning it under its current structure, and these would be the same 4-5 clubs every year with the odd interloper, which would still be one of the top clubs.
If I were a footballer I'd rather win the World Cup, European championships or champions league than the FA cup.
