Not going to have a cry over a competition when we were it in was deemed the farmers league. We have won other things much bigger like the league cup and smaller like the Audi Cup.
I think the issue is what West Ham did even if it is a tinpot farmers cup reminded fans that what ever level you are at you need to go for it.
We were the historic FA Cup holders. Now we seem uninterested in anything other than top 4 under any manager. We are here to maximise revenue for the growth of our property owning company so the goals of our owners and the goals or the fans don’t match on every aspect.
All the West Ham thing has done is remind people of the soulless nature of trying for top 4 without anything else be it trophies or good football.
