How excited can Man City's fans be when they win it four times in a row, and five times in the last six? Or six out of the last eight?

If it's only for football league clubs, then fans who rarely get to Wembley will have a proper chance of seeing their team win a trophy. And let's face it, that is basically every club in the football league.
If an EFL club wins the current competition, they go into the Europa Cup. If Premier League teams were banned from entering, then it is very likely that European qualification for the winners would be removed. Also teams outside the top six in the Prem can currently go for European qualification by winning it. To alter its current format would therefore cause more harm than good - so in my opinion, leave it alone.
