Fair enough, I don't read all this thread, it's far too and for that so I just dip in and out.Yeah. But what I’m trying to point out is, I don’t want it to be a one off win like Palace’s is likely to be.
This all started with one poster saying about how we should ignore the entire history of the cups and only consider last season. It’s morphed into whatever it is now, but ultimately, last year is a fluke when you look at the history of the cups, certainly in the last 30 years. I want us to be in finals year in year out. So we need to be realistic about it and get the squad to where it needs to be for that. Rather than looking at last season and thinking we could also fluke it.
I disagreed with Moyes approach in the cups this season, but we also have longer term goals. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t absolutely love to win a trophy.
Even so, I still think you have to start somewhere and there's nothing to say a trophy win would have to be a one off. As someone else has said, Palace really should be winning the Conference league and that'd be two in two years. If they had a big new stadium and the financial backing we now have, that could be genuinely sustainable.
For my money, a trophy win would help our long term goals with no downside
