Mythyaar Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 If you had the choice which would you prefer for next season: 6th place guaranteed or League Cup win?
filbertway Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 If one had to be guaranteed then probably 6th. If we've done well enough to finish 6th in the league then we've had a good chance of a good cup run as well.
Marmite Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 I would prefer the FA cup to be honest. I have seen us win the league and league cup so this would be the icing on the cake for me.
David Guiza Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 Providing of course we weren't relegated alongside the win, I'd always go for a cup win. A day out at Wembley and another trophy in the cabinet is surely better than a league position? I'd understand if it were 4th or a League Cup win, but not 6th.
Haywood_6 Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 Winning a competition and trophy beats finishing 6th hands down.
ultrafox Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 The only advantage of the League Cup is the Wembley glory day out. But I wouldn't want that while being involved in a relegation battle. Being 6th will mean we will have had some pretty impressive results against other top teams. So I'm opting for 6th place. Now if you had said FA Cup...mmmm...I might think differently.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 Cup win every day. What's the point in competing if you aren't competing to win? Also, two legged semi final
Stadt Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 You get into Europe with a cup win so there’s not really an advantage to doing it via the league position. We wouldn't celebrate Schmeichel lifting up a photo of the league table
brucey Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 Depends on whether it involves going through the Europa qualification rounds
StriderHiryu Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 6th place doesn't reward you with a trophy. The league cup does! But of course the real answer to the question is the FA Cup! 4 times runner-up without winning it. I'd love us to put that right.
MonkeyTennis? Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 It comes down to more football, and silverware, this year, or more football next year. More football this year.
Mike Oxlong Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 Playing good, positive, attacking football and giving it a go in both cups and taking whatever follows from that approach will suffice for me
nnfox Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 For long term consistent success we need to break the top 6. Simples. Trophies are wonderful of course but right now, finishing higher in the league will open more doors for us. Another question would be FA Cup or 4th place?

Finnegan Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 FA Cup and top ten > top six > league Cup and outside top six. Trophies are nice but I want us to be a top six / top four club. I want us to have that level of ambition. We get there by making continual progress. I think so many of the traditional top six are in such a shambles that the time is now for us, Everton and Wolves. So I want to see that we're improving in the league personally because if we don't, they will. Arsenal, United and Chelsea might take years to recover from their mess. The iron for us is hot now.
Chrysalis Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 league cup of course. I would also take it over 2nd place as runners up dont get remembered, but I would take 1st place over league cup.
yorkie1999 Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 League cup. As a supporter you want to win things, probably as a player as well. 6th in the league means jack to me.
Vacamion Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 I would take sixth because it's not beyond us to lose form, sell or buy the wrong players, sack the manager, appoint Pardew or Big Sam and get relegated. Whilst it generates as much money as it currently does, the club needs as many years as possible in this league.
RowlattsFox Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 Doesn't the cup win get you straight into the group stage or is that just the FA Cup? 6th isn't a guaranteed European place anyway, it usually is but its not for certain. Cup win every time.
KrefelderFox666 Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 Surely this is a no brainer. League Cup win every time for guaranteed European football (albeit starting in 2nd Q Round of UEL). 6th might get you nothing. Much rather win a cup with a day out at Wembley. I'll be disappointed this season if we don't match Man City and win the domestic treble.
