That’s your view. Big clubs need to win trophies. They are the ultimate currency of success. Were you aware that we won at least one trophy in every decade from 1950-2010? Fawning over top 4 finishes whilst dismissing trophies just because it coincidentally aligns with what we have done in the last 20 years isn’t what big clubs crow about. Do you think Real Madrid list their top 4 finishes on their website?

I was very aware, but the game has changed, the Champions League destroyed everything that came before it, it made domestic cups completely worthless.

Madrid list their CL wins on their website, they don't even care about league titles.

If the domestic cups are worthless then why do city, Liverpool, Arsenal etc try and win them every year? The biggest clubs in England try and win as many trophies as possible whilst they have the window of opportunity. That’s what separates them from us if you apply your mentality, we’ll always be small time compared to the biggest clubs.

do they though?

City didn't look to be trying very hard in the final last year, lost to palace, who in their very next game in the competition got done by an actual pub team

I think its more that teams win it solely be being less disinterested than others

City picked a PL lineup in the league cup semi final and always go strong at the business end of cups.

Ask Saudi Sportswashing Machine and Palace fans if they’d swap their trophies they picked up last season for a top 4 finish. What’s the point of following football if you’re just going to look back and say I’ll always remember that time we finished in the top 4 then got battered by Barcelona 5-0 in the group stage?

We are historically one of the top 6-8 clubs in the country and used to pick up trophies fairly regularly. Clubs like Millwall and West Brom don’t have the same heritage of winning things that like us, Villa and Everton used to have. What achievements can clubs like Everton point to in the last 30 years? The time they nearly got relegated but didn’t? I’m sure their fans would love a trophy.

Due to their small ground, the only chance Palace have of clawing their way up the league consistently, is to either unearth huge talents and sell them for huge profit (Eze, Wharton etc) or scrape into the CL to seize that £100m pot. They won't have any delusions of winning the CL, but that £100m will make a big difference to them.
Just as it did to Spurs when Spurs won the EL and made it into the CL and secured the £100m pot; whilst Man United missed out on the £100m pot. And that is why Spurs immediately bought Sesko, Cunha and Mbeumo. Um...

The level of ambition at United and Spurs are not comparable.
