Alan Shearer has slammed the FA for their 'dreadful communication' over the decision to scrap FA Cup replays.

English football is in uproar after the FA and Premier League struck a deal to scrap FA Cup replays due to the expansion of the European competitions from next season.

The change will take effect from next season and comes in light of calendar changes forced by UEFA expanding European competitions.

Clubs down the football pyramid have expressed their frustration at the news, and Premier League bosses have been asked to give their verdicts ahead of their respective games this weekend.
