Who on earth would want one season of relegation against a glorious piece of forever history ? People on here would .
No it's not.....Is winning the FA cup that much ‘history’ anymore? Can you remember who won the last few or anything about the games? Did you even watch them?
In the end the whole driving purpose of the team and management is to strive for promotion. To become the top Premiership standard.
We get 38 finals with the other option. No silverware.Who on earth would want one season of relegation against a glorious piece of forever history ? People on here would .

I bet Burnley fans will talk about this season for many many years . As they did last time . Achieved absolutely bugger all. They'd take a trophy instead I'm sure.Is winning the FA cup that much ‘history’ anymore? Can you remember who won the last few or anything about the games? Did you even watch them?

I think the players would take making it to the Premiership. Playing at the top table, pinnacle of their career.No it's not.....
It's about winning honours.
You sound dangerously like a Man city fan jaded by successI think the players would take making it to the Premiership. Playing at the top table, pinnacle of their career.
Rather than winning a cup many don’t take seriously anymore. it’s not much of an ‘honour’ anymore is it??
Exactly my thoughts.Didn't we do this thread before the last round ?
Cup and it's not even remotely close. Odds on on a team of our status winning the cup are tiny. It would be huge for us and raise our profile massively. People saying that the FA cup isn't glamorous anymore are missing the point that a championship team winning it would help bring the magic back to the competition.
Would also mean a European adventure next year. Something we were cruelly denied in 87.
Plenty of opportunities to build a better squad and have a run at the league in the next few seasons. Obviously I'd take promotion any way we can get it but the squad is work in progress and we'd get battered like Sheffield United are if we went up now.

You reckon the players would regard winning the FA cup as a greater ‘honour’ than making it to the premiership?You sound dangerously like a Man city fan jaded by successIt's only belittled because it's won by the same 4 or 5 teams.
Ask any Leicester, Portsmouth or Wigan fan and they would tell you how much it means
The question wasn't what the players would like was it.You reckon the players would regard winning the FA cup as a greater ‘honour’ than making it to the premiership?
You’d swap wining the cup as it is now with getting back to the top tier for the first time in over 20 years and playing all the top teams home and away?
We can win for sure, but it's going to need Wolves to be off form and us to have quite a bit of luck.To win it would most likely mean having beaten two of Man Utd/Man City/Chelsea/Liverpool in the process at Wembley, European football, millions in prize money and a load of profile boost.
Pretty good compensation for not going up in my view, but ultimately irrelevant as it'll come undone at Molineux anyway.
The Wolves manager seems to think it’s in the bag based on his comments. Probably not wrongWe can win for sure, but it's going to need Wolves to be off form and us to have quite a bit of luck.
Win the cup. If you ask fans from Swansea, Blues and Wigan I bet most will say they wouldn’t swap their cup wins for being in the Prem now despite how things have gone since.
Well, it's a game of football at the end of the day. Own goals are scored, contentious decisions are made, players do get sent off and often, there is a slice of luck with a deflection and out of the blue wonder goals are scored etc.The Wolves manager seems to think it’s in the bag based on his comments. Probably not wrong
I would love us to be able to go up to the Premier and make a fist of it, but I really think we would end up like Derby and be utterly embarrassed every week.FA cup. I'd only want to get promoted to the PL for the money, we're never going to realistically ever compete.
Sure it's been devalued by the top clubs but for lower end Prem and Championship clubs, it still means a lot.
Promotion would revolutionise the club but in 10 years time. No one is going to care about a season spent getting beat most weeks.
I can only live off the Checkatrade Trophy for so long!

I doubt that. Luton have put up by far the best go of it out of the 3 this season.I would love us to be able to go up to the Premier and make a fist of it, but I really think we would end up like Derby and be utterly embarrassed every week.
Would love to be proved wrong of course.
Was going to say exactly the same thingthe last team I remember winning the FA cup was Wigan
They have, but name players we have who could do a job in the Premier.I doubt that. Luton have put up by far the best go of it out of the 3 this season.
