Leicester - was it worth it?

[lackingmatchpractice]

Seeing your side win the Premier League and then follow up with a few seasons in Europe including a quarter final in the Champions league.

I honestly would take 20 years in the lower leagues if I could witness us achieve what they’ve done.

Some will argue long term stability trumps short term success but those memories will last a lifetime to Leicester fans, isn’t that what sport is all about?

I would suggest the general supporter response will be “absolutely”.
Most fans will never see their team come close to winning anything, let alone the title.

100%.

Controversial but I'd take what happened to Wigan - win a cup, get relegated - in a flash.

The league is generally pretty boring. Cup glory lasts forever.

 

[shieldsdan86]

Probably. But experiencing such highs would make the lows they are hitting now 10x worse I reckon. The frustration of it going so badly wrong after winning the league and an FA Cup, they should have been able to kick on and stay as a top 10 side if they did things properly.

 

[ErichZann]

100% worth it

 

[IAmZlatan]

Course it was worth it. I’d give my right nut for an FA cup win, let alone a league title.

I would have agreed a few years ago, but after 4 years in L1 I wouldn't now. Leicester have lived the dream though, as long as they can recover financially I don't think their fans can have any complaints. It's debatable whether they're even among the top 20 clubs in the country and they've won the lot in the PL era.

 

[Upthere]

Yes, same happened to us but they just had a Premier League win and Champions League campaign with it, then an FA Cup win, we fought relegation every year while they were doing that

 

[bunnyrabbit]

2 league cup wins a top flight win and an FA Cup win, then relegation to the third. Yes, I'd take it.

 

[Hendon Mad Frog]

To be honest, I'd take winning the Premier League and then spending decades in a lower league considering we've already had to deal with years in League 1. It would also absolutely break mag brains, which would be a bonus.

The rivalry between Leicester and Coventry is nothing compared to ours, and Coventry fans are still seething about Leicester's success.

 

[chriswallace85]

Well seen as how we've been through the embarrassment of League 1 without seeing a Premier League title, an FA Cup, and Champions League football, I think the answer should be pretty fuckin' obvious.

 

[Maravilla]

Without a shadow of a doubt

 

[Inside Forward]

It wasn’t a trade off. Just because they won the Prem and played in the Champions League didn’t need to mean that they’d end up in League 1 a few years later.

Catastrophic recruitment and poor managerial appointments have caused this.

 

[herra soul mob]

best to live one day like a lion than a 1000 like a mag.

 

[Randy Savage]

It's very easy in the cold light of day to say yes.

Imagine more multiple seasons stints in League One though. It was utter shite and felt like a false event.

 

[SAFC 2012]

Take me back to the depths

 

[CheersMarra84]

You’d take it in a heartbeat, we did everything they’re experiencing for no trophies. Just seeing Sunderland lift the FA Cup would be enough for me to die happy.

 

[bomber]

Impressive but no Anglo Scottish cup so its a no for me.

 

[Steesafc]

We won fuck all and got relegated to League One. So definitely, aye.
