Welsh League Cup: Marc Lloyd Williams voices concerns over proposals

Marc Lloyd Williams does not believe Cardiff City, Swansea City, Wrexham and Newport County should be allowed to enter a Welsh League Cup with a view to qualifying for European football.

Talks have been held over the possibility of the country's four English Football League (EFL) clubs playing in a Welsh cup competition which would offer the chance of qualification for the Europa Conference League.

One of the key aims of the proposals - titled Prosiect Cymru - would be to boost Walesâ€TM standing in Uefa's association club coefficients.

However, Lloyd Williams - the Cymru Premier's all-time record goal scorer with 319 goals - feels Wales' four EFL sides should continue to play their football solely in the English system.

"I am not sure what the [Cymru Premier] clubs think about it," he told BBC Radio Wales.

"For me, the four clubs made the decision to play in England, so stay in England. Donâ€TMt try and take those European spots off the Cymru Premier teams. It is their bread and butter, week in, week out."
