Deciding between league survival and cup glory isn't a 'binary choice'
[BBC] [Getty Images] We asked you to tell us whether Premier League status or FA Cup glory is more important to Leeds United fans. Here are some of your replies: Pat: Premier League survival, undoubtedly. We've got to follow the money, unfortunately.
Besides, even in the highly unlikely possibility that we would win the FA Cup, it would only be fleeting success. We need to be in this for the long haul. Thomas: It's obvious that Premier League survival is more important than FA Cup success, but there's no reason Leeds can't put out their strongest side possible and try to win the cup.
You have squads big enough to cater for these opportunities, so fans would not be very forgiving if it wasn't taken seriously. Matt: Why are people making out that it's a binary choice? One doesn't have to come at the expense of the other.
I want Leeds to try their best in whatever match they are playing between now and the end of the season, let's see what happens from there. Chris: Premier League survival must be the priority, however the next FA Cup game is a dress rehearsal for the final game of the season which could, although I hope it isn't, be a game of who survives. A win in the FA Cup can do nothing but breed confidence going into the final seven games, so why not both?
Winning is a habit and now is a good time to get into that habit. Michael: There's an argument for both. My long-term belief is that it's better to stay in the Premier League than win the FA Cup.
