ROB-THE-BLUE Posted 10 February 2017 Posted 10 February 2017 As much as I'd love to see us win the cup, I'd happily take 17th place in the league over that this year.
Ted Maul Posted 10 February 2017 Posted 10 February 2017 Has to be the FA Cup. We're big enough to get promoted every few years, we always have been. The FA Cup, on the other hand... People saying we should stay up and build a long term future- we're Leicester City, we're always a bad decision or two away from disaster, and we often make bad decisions.
stripeyfox Posted 10 February 2017 Posted 10 February 2017 I've always wanted to see us win the cup. It would be fantastic. I could even live with relegation, if it was just a "straightforward" relegation. But the financial impact of going down may be too great a price to pay. Would I trade a sunny day at Wembley watching us win the cup when I spend the next ten years watching us in the doldrums like last time we got relegated. Tough one, heart says win the cup and go down. head says no cup and stay up
Bayfox Posted 10 February 2017 Posted 10 February 2017 Football is about winning things. I want the fa cup to complete the domestic set. When did 17th and 4th become more important than silverware.

Guest Posted 10 February 2017 Posted 10 February 2017 I'd like to say 'win the cup and get relegated' (erm, sort of, you know what i mean). But I fear what getting relegated would do to our current squad and our prospects of building for the future. Not only would we lose of some the under-performing players, we might also have a hard time keeping the ones that we want for the future. In that case it could take us a couple of years to rebuild a proper Championship squad, and promotion might not come that easy...and then you have the dreaded first year back in top flight to deal with. No, i'd like to see us stabilise more than anything, eve if that means losing out on some silverware. Besides, if we've made it this far in the FA cup in one of our worst seasons for a while, there's nothing saying we couldn't win it next year or the year after.
sylofox Posted 10 February 2017 Posted 10 February 2017 Always wanted us to win the cup as we will never win the league. OHH Wait a minute feck the cup stay up first.

Guest Posted 10 February 2017 Posted 10 February 2017 Win the Champions League or stay up, now that would be a difficult choice.
lgfualol Posted 10 February 2017 Posted 10 February 2017 I'm usually a cup man but stay up on this occasion.

Their fans still talk and sing about it and would have taken the FA cup and still be in the position they are in. You're looking at it from an outsiders point of view.

cheshamfox17 Posted 10 February 2017 Posted 10 February 2017 Despite being firmly of the 'premier league generation' I don't actually care that much what league we are in, especially now that we've won the premier league, I don't really see us ever getting into the top six again as I doubt the top clubs will be quite as complacent as last season. The FA Cup would be amazing, it would be a once in a lifetime moment and would break a club curse too which would be nice, also we'd be back in Europe which is great, to borrow from Danny Blanchflower, the game is about the glory and winning the FA cup would be glorious
SemperEadem Posted 10 February 2017 Posted 10 February 2017 Shocked with the result of this. Winning the FA cup is huge, for a club with our history never to have won it is a big one.
foxfanazer Posted 10 February 2017 Posted 10 February 2017 Stay up for sure. We'd lose so many players like Gray, Chilwell, Ndidi etc. Would be a huge overhaul and it'd be tough to bounce straight back Unfortunately I can't see anything other than relegation this season

Mike Oxlong Posted 10 February 2017 Posted 10 February 2017 I'm not that fussed about the FA Cup anymore. Both the FA and League Cup have become devalued. Would be nice to win it and would be a cracking day out but the disappointment of being relegated (particularly this season) would be greater than the happiness I would get from winning the cup.

Derby reserves to be more precise... We're not going to win the FA cup as we'd have to beat the likes of Chelsea, Man City, Spurs, Arsenal and United who are all still in the competition!.. Ain't happening!!.. PL survival is far more important, Jesus can you imagine when the fixtures are out for next season and we're playing Scunthorpe away on a cold Tuesday night in February!..what a dramatic fall from grace after playing the likes of Sevilla in the CL this season.. Going back to Championship football is just a nightmare scenario!!
norwichfox Posted 10 February 2017 Posted 10 February 2017 My heart says the FA Cup, my head says not relegated, I can't put a tick in the box....I don't want to jinx things

Why is just staying in the premiership long term success?. It seems that a generation has been brainwashed to think that just being in the premiership is some kind of huge success. Winning trophies is success. We just won the league, a dream come true. Winning the FA cup is another dream. If we could win it I'll take relegation after that every time. Its ok saying the fa cup will be there every year but so will the premiership. We're talking about winning the FA cup not just competing in it.
