Not sure how that could work apart from knocking one team off from their respective country's allocation and adding in their place the winner of their domestic cup.
I'm sure that would appeal to every team competing in the competition, possibly apart from say 6 of your top clubs in the country.

Didn't Warnock (or some other manager) say something like this defending his selection this weekend?

exactly

take the last prem league spot away, give it to the FA Cup winner, IF the FA Cup winner happens to have got a spot via the prem league, then the extra spot goes to the prem league, not the FA Cup
