Quite simply, choosing a league cup over champions league is something a child would do, cause he wants instant success, no matter how small that success maybe. An adult should very quickly see the benefits of the champions league far far outweigh that of winning the league cup. I couldn't care less if people think it's a mickey mouse cup or not, the fact is you only get the top players by playing in the champions league. Winning the league cup is a spring board for absolutely nothing, champions league is the spring board for everything.
So from now on for the foreseeable future you would be happy just to qualify for the Champions League even though you will never win it ahead, of the glory of winning trophies at Wembley and making your fans happy, the mind boggles. I think the only people who rate Liverpool Football Club appearing and I say appearing because thats all we would ever do in the Champions League are people who have money tied up in the Club for financial gain, supporters just want the glory and something to show and celebrate and you will never do that with a fourth place.
