Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has slammed the decision to end FA Cup replays.

Wilder was speaking ahead of Saturday's clash Burnley.

He stated: "As always, the game is dictated and dominated by the big boys and the big boys don't want FA Cup replays, do they?

"There will be an argument that they are bringing the most money into the game and being a traditionalist, what does that do to non-league clubs who get into the fairytale world of round three and get a draw at home and the financial implications that gives them by getting a draw at a big club and what that does?

"There have been clubs that have had FA Cup runs and replays and have financially benefitted themselves for the next three, four and five years.

"As you well know, my pathway and my history, I have been at both ends of the scale, but for me it is a great reward for the lower league clubs to earn at replay to allow them to either go to the bigger league clubs or have that game at home against the bigger clubs as well.

"I am a traditionalist and I would have liked to have seen it kept the same but the game is moving on and more minutes [are being played] in the game, which people are trying to push back against."
