The FA Cup is now all about the smaller clubs and in my opinion all the tiny sides that make the third round should be guaranteed a big draw.

What I would do is take the top six from the Premier League and the six lowest-ranked clubs in the competition and put them together in a separate draw.

That way the small clubs would be rewarded financially for making it all the way to the third round.

The money they would get from gate receipts and TV could help those clubs stay alive for five or six years.

I remember when I was playing at Walsall one year and we got to the third round.

I was so looking forward to the draw, but then we pulled Stoke away. Only 8,000 people turned up to watch that day and we lost 2-1. It was hardly memorable.
