Stoke City boss Tony Pulis says football authorities are wrecking the FA Cup.
The authorities are weighing up plans to scrap replays and seed teams from the 2012-13 season.
But Pulis has blasted FA chiefs and has ordered them to keep their beaks out.
The Stoke boss, whose team take on Brighton tomorrow, said: "I understand what's going on.
"There are a lot of European games, we've international fixtures in March, so the FA have to find room for it somewhere.
"But it's dropped down in priorities, and they'll kill it if they mess around with it too much.
"The chairman is more traditional than me, so he will be devastated if they do mess about with it."
