Mick Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 To be replaced with 'Only one trophy in x years' I'd live with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 The League Cup would be nice, but fairly meaningless long term. Champions League is crucial in that it allows you to match the big boys for spending power due to extra revenue and status. CL every time for me.

UV Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 The League Cup would be nice, but fairly meaningless long term. Champions League is crucial in that it allows you to match the big boys for spending power due to extra revenue and status. CL every time for me. A Champions League one-off appearance is even more meaningless long term. Unless we build a squad which is capable of sustaining it or at least achieving it every other year, it will just be a brief income spike accompanied by a few humiliating defeats against foreign teams. The question's therefore difficult to answer until we have a better idea of Ashley's intentions. If we're seriously aiming for top 4, then I'd prefer the CL spot as cups will eventually come along later, but if it seems we're happy with mid table and it would just be a one-off fluke year in the CL I'd prefer to get the cup in the bag.

Guest Jawesome Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I'd take the league cup just to get people to shut the fuck up about us not winning a trophy for god knows how long. Plus there would be one fucking immense party in town! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juniatmoko Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 it's easy answer dave... it's like asking "which one you choose cute girl next door or angelina jolie" i picked one of my range What if you live next door to Angelina Jolie? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gash Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Champions league for player attracting, money, recognition across europe. I think this because this may be a stepping stone to a trophy because the extra cash and better players could turn this into in two years entry into the champions league then the fa cup. Rather than just champions league/league cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bealios Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I've got an idea which would solve this dilemma. Give the winners of the League Cup a Champions League spot! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

khay Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Cup would with a 4th place finish would do me, but I would rather we won something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Champions League bigger profile, more money and if we are playing CL football it will attract more players than winning the League cup. true. We will stand more of a chance at winning the LC if we have a CL squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 The Champions League if we where in it regularly.. like 3 seasons back to back.. would put us in a position where we can consistently challenge for trophies anyway.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edd Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I'd say League Cup just to shut the media up. Let's see them come up with another Newcastle tagline instead of "who haven't won anything for blah blah..." Meaningless cup though IMO so long term I'd much rather have CL qualification.

Scoreboard82 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Win the league cup. Got to get rid of the "you never win f**k all" syndrome that hangs over the club. Get that out the way, then get in the CL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus there would be one fucking immense party in town! Which is why I sort of hope that isn't the first trophy we win. Can you imagine how the rest of your country will treat you if you tear down telephone poles over the fucking Carling Cup? Prefer Champs League participation over it easily.
