flowwolf Posted 26 January 2012 Posted 26 January 2012 Imagine its May2012 and by a minor miracle Leicester City find themselves in both the playoff final & the FA cup final. They can win only ONE. Which one would you choose ? Premiership promotion over playing in 6 cup finals and losing them all, or cup glory,european footy but anothet season in the championship. CHOOSE !!! Sorry what losing 6 FA cup finals ? name them. I can name wolves, Spurs, Man united and Man city but buggered if i can remember the other two.
gw_leics772 Posted 26 January 2012 Posted 26 January 2012 The FA Cup - then my next conversation with Cov fans would not be, ha, what have you ever one, mickey mouse cup, blah blah,, blah It would instead go, FA Cup, this century, 3 League cups, some playoffs, 3 European tours, loads of premier top 10 finishes, And you? remember when you had a football team. It would really piss them off.
leicesterseddon Posted 26 January 2012 Posted 26 January 2012 FA Cup, no question. Don't really see what this dilemma has to do with 'morality' though...
FoxyPV Posted 26 January 2012 Posted 26 January 2012 No brainer - the FA cup - for reasons listed previously.
HEGGSY Posted 26 January 2012 Posted 26 January 2012 FA Cup. Our name engraved on probably the most famous trophy in football. No brainer As much as I'd love promotion...FA Cup win > Relegation Scrap.
Simmo86 Posted 26 January 2012 Posted 26 January 2012 FA Cup doesn't even need a seconds thought! Promotion wooohoooooo £45 tickets while getting beaten everyweek! Sounds fantastic!
Mike the Metal Ed Posted 27 January 2012 Posted 27 January 2012 FA Cup. It's not like we'd get the Football League Championship trophy for the first time simply for winning promotion.
Alexikokopops Posted 27 January 2012 Posted 27 January 2012 Sorry what losing 6 FA cup finals ? name them.

However, the OP has realised since that it was 4, not 5, that we've lost. Anyway, I'd go for a cup, no brainer
OzFox Posted 27 January 2012 Posted 27 January 2012 Imagine its May2012 and by a minor miracle Leicester City find themselves in both the playoff final & the FA cup final. They can win only ONE. Which one would you choose ? Premiership promotion over playing in 6 cup finals and losing them all, or cup glory,european footy but anothet season in the championship. CHOOSE !!! Cup definitely. Promotion might mean more cash in the pot but it would mean another year of grinding out results to survive. Not pretty to watch. One minor quibble...if we lost another cup final that would be our 5th. 6 really would be unbearable.
flowwolf Posted 27 January 2012 Posted 27 January 2012 No choice really is there. We are not going to win the F.A.cup end of.
MrSpaM Posted 27 January 2012 Posted 27 January 2012 Considering the prize money for winning the FA cup is around 2 million, I think our club would benefit from getting promoted a lot more
Guest Posted 27 January 2012 Posted 27 January 2012 Promotion. I loved winning the cup (league) back in the day and getting into Europe but thanks to terrible officiating it only lasted 1 game and was a big let down. Hopefully the Prem will last longer than a decade.

Hopefully the Prem will last longer than a decade. If we do go up cannot see us getting relegated, these owners are likely to invest so heavily even more in the champ to stay up and progress further.
