FA Cup Legacy

[RonnieTodger]

Zero.

 

Fancy winning the fa cup and leaving that to dust.

 

Maybe time will be a healer but even the likes of Tielemans and Maddison will be remembered as overpaid dossers, overseeing our club’s demise. 

 

I really thought the likes of Brendan, Youri and Maddison had written themselves into club folklore. They have ****ed it.

The FA Cup meant everything to me.as someone who spent 50 odd years dreaming of winning it, but there have been many teams who have been relegated or not pushed on after winning it.  Not being able to truly build on winning the Premier League was probably the legacy we let go

[Fox92]

FA Cup is folklore mate. You’ll remember it in 10 years, 20 years, etc as it’s a trophy. You won’t remember last season’s 8th place finish.

 

Remember that players like Izzet, Elliott, Taggart, Walsh won trophies with us but were also relegated with us.

[StanSP]

They are in folklore. 

 

Like it or not, they wrote themselves into history. The club's history and the competition's history. 

 

Whatever happened after that doesn't remove the achievement or affect the folklore.

Yes - FA cup was huge to childhood me (the club's history). Winning the prem should have meant more for the club's future.

Can we not keep creating threads diminishing our success please. It’s hard enough trying to deal with relegation. 

[Stevosevic]

We got relegated 2 years after our last cup win too. 
 

Still remember it fondly. That’s what time does

[Sir Shep]

Yeah I think I'm too angry at the moment but winning the FAcup will always be special. 

[Tuna]

No one will care in years to come what happened 2 years later, we won the FA Cup and made history.

[urban.spaceman]

Nah. It was a profoundly special day that will live on in the memory.

[Mickyblueeyes]

The thing is. 10 years from now, Albrighton would have replaced Birch as ambassador and I guarantee you he will invite the title winning side onto the pitch at Half Time - we will celebrate them. 
 

Are we really going to do that with that side ? Who we inviting back ? Tielemans, Maddison. ? How about Fofana.

[Pliskin]

No one with a stadium capacity of 30 odd thousand will ever achieve what we did again. It’s about as much as I can muster at the moment.

Listening to West ham fans taking the piss out of us outside the ground, I just thought this is embarrassing, then I had a thought and was tempted to say yeah goodbye we're gone but we're leaving with memories and a complete set of trophies in the cabinet!!!.which is more than they have for 43 years, which is the same for many other clubs, similar can be said for spurs!

 

A very sad day considering our achievements and some of our players are leaving with slightly tarnished reputations, but these things can't ever be taken away!

[Koke]

Tielemans and Maddison are great players and will be remembered fondly.

 

**** Brendan Rodgers though.

I've got nothing but respect for everyone who is in the rebuild phase. I was out of anger a while ago, but now I'm right back in anger and all I want to do is beat Brendan Rodgers' face into a bloody pulp. (not really obs, but ..)

I know and some actually believe they relegated us as opposed to loosing 6 points to us.

 

I hope fiorentina do the business over them in papa johns euro cup final which I’m sure they will.

[Aus Fox]

We are one of only 5 clubs that have won the full set of English trophies this century. 
In our short spell in the PL we have won as many PL trophies as Liverpool have since it began.

More trophies than West Ham, Spurs, Newcastle, Leeds, Forest and anyone else outside the big money 6 since the PL began.

Nothing can take that away, one bad season doesn’t ruin a legacy. 
I would say anyone other than Man City would love our last 9 years - it’s gutting how it’s all ended, but nothing takes away the legacy.

When we came up, if you had offered me 9 years the league title, the fa cup and a European semi final, I would have ripped your hand off.

Blimey. The FA Cup win of 2 years ago has very, very little to do with our current relegation. 
 

What an odd thread, to, so soon after relegation, to be looking to dismiss our recent past achievements. 
 

This relegation hurts a lot, because it’s an unforced episode of corporate negligence, not least because it has prematurely ended an era of unprecedented success. 
 

But what the heck has it got to do with the FA Cup win? 
 

my Dad and Uncle are both in their 70s have been going to see Leicester since the 1960s and saw 3 painful FA Cup final losses. They’re also a footballing generation for who the FA Cup final was the biggest game. 
 

coming together as a family, after Covid lockdowns, to witness that FA Cup will forever go down in personal and the club’s folklore. 
 

 

[HybridFox]

Too raw but as others have said we'll remember it fondly for years to come. Largely as a collective achievement.

 

I'm not sure I'll ever be able to revere the individual players that have taken us down (or the then manager)

 

I think the sooner they leave and we switch the focus for next season, the better for all parties

No one remembers how utterly awful Elliott Taggart and Izzet were in 01/02 when they were relegated. Look at the early threads on talking balls back in 02/03 and Elliott gets slaughtered as a useless past it lump still there for a last payday 

 

Their legacy hasn’t been ruined. People are just angry about the here and now but will forget about the relegation and only care about the cup win in 20 years: 

[Jaspa]

Pompey, Wigan 3.0

 

Thing feels like a curse.

[Freeman's Wharfer]

Maddison was in honking form and contributed very little to the FA Cup win.

[RonnieTodger]

I should clarify. I will be forever grateful for The FA Cup and wouldn’t swap it for anything.

 

But every member of that Leicester squad should be a Leicester legend and they’ve left **** all legacy.

Because they should be Leicester legends. The 2015/16 squad will be remembered as such.

 

Maybe in 20 years time, we’ll look back differently but I’ll see Evans, Tielemans, Maddison etc as the overpaid dossers that oversaw a club’s demise, rather than FA Cup winning heroes.

Yep.A word of advice to any club with fresh ideas and ambitions to annoy the top boys.Don’t try to win anything or qualify for Europe.It usually ends in disaster.

Brighton and Brentford are doing really well at the minute.Both will be back in the Championship by 2031
