Dick Scudamore speaking out will come back to bite some one big time in the future, for instance if Fulham get to the Europa final this time next year who'll be able to complain when they field their second string? The team that gets relegated because of it, the team that misses out on winning the league because of it?

For me, I agree with Iadom here. Which team would you want to play? A team that will be just looking to get through the match uninjured for Wednesday or a team who will be looking to take their chance to impress their manager?
