A debate is raging today about the integrity of the FA Cup. 

With so many clubs fielding weakened teams amid the financial pressures of the lucrative Premier League, is there anything the football authorities can do to restore the trophy's stock?

Well, former Wigan defender Matt Jackson has been thinking.

Now the club's head of operations, he said: "If you want some crazy ideas to shake up the FA Cup, I've got some.

"How about if a Premier League team won the FA Cup, they could have amnesty from relegation that season?

"Or if you win the FA Cup from outside the Premier League you get automatic promotion to the top flight. Those are ridiculous ideas - but they will never happen."

Greater Manchester Police's Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said the misconduct case against top officer Rebekah Sutcliffe had marked "an incredibly difficult time" for the force.

"When I was made aware of what happened I immediately arranged for an outside force to investigate and Assistant Chief Constable Sutcliffe was suspended from duty," he said.

"ACC Sutcliffe has been through a completely open, transparent and independent misconduct process.

"What is important now is that we move forward. ACC Sutcliffe has by her own admission behaved in an unacceptable manner and has apologised at the outset."
