The answer is really very simple.
The League Cup gives you £100k prise money & a Europa League place.
As far as I can tell,
FIFA Club World Cup prize money: (and a shiny gold badge)
1st $5m
2nd $4m
3rd $2.5m
4th $2m
As we enter at the semi final stage, we're quids in with out kicking a ball, and there is no guarantee we will win the League Cup.
The League Cup was a good trophy to win, but now, and it pains me to say this, it's an inconvenience. It's the English League Cup, we're not in the English League, The PL teams should have the option of letting this one pass, especially the teams in European cups.
