Nope. Rather 4th
It’s not about being to big to win it , it’s the fact that would a season full of negative boring gauge your eyes out with a spoon football be worth it for winning the league cup? To me it’s a no,
I used to enjoy and look forward to watching is play , now it seems like a chore
To be honest, I wouldn’t even give him the satisfaction of potentially winning a cup.
It’ll only be something for him to gloat about and use to try and paint his Spurs rain as a “success”.

No. If it still had a EL spot spot attached then maybe I would change my mind however, it doesn't anymore.
Imo no, I think we all want major trophies, if however we finished top four and won a trophy such as the league cup we would all be happy.
But a league cup without CL qualification would feel incredibly hollow if I am honest.

To witness 16 months of this dirge? No, it is definitely not worth it.
Nothing in is worth watching this shit
Or another way of putting it, why does everyone think that Jose is the only man alive out there capable of pulling off an outsider League Cup final upset.Seriously why does everyone think Jose could even win the cup????
No.
On a side note, where are the fans (and there were plenty on here) who said they would happily accept a couple of trophies in exchange for watching this dross week in, week out. They have well and truly retreated to the woodwork.

We convinced ourselves that winning the League Cup in '99 was worth it, regardless of the fact GG won it for us, and we could just put his boring tactics, and previous club to the back of our minds for one day...
That was 22 years ago... we were in a very different position as a club back then...
'Apparently' we've moved on, and yet here we are, pretty much still hoping for the same thing to happen this season....
...some things never change!

You do get a Europa place for winning it, if one of the Top 5 in the League win the FA Cup though.
Top 4 goes Champions League
5th and FA Cup go to Europa League (which is much more slimmed down Champions League lite competition from next year - would go straight to a 32 team group stage. 8 group winners go straight to last 16, 8 group runners-up play 8 CL Group 3rd place teams for spot in Last 16)
League Cup winner goes to newly created Europa Conference League (which will have feel of current Europa League based on amount of games, but a lot worse from competition point of view. Only one team from each of the better countries, more from the weaker ones)
However, if FA Cup is won by a team finishing Top 5, League Cup winners go to Europa League, 6th goes to new ECL competition, If both League Cup and FA Cup won by Top 5 teams, 6th will be in Europa, 7th in ECL

It isn't the only option though
Winning a cup will always be worth it, the point is Jose isn't winning anything.
