That's because we are second favourites to win it!
From everything Hoos has said my understanding is that we lose money from each game we put on at Loftus Road. I'd guess we lose even more from a cup game with a 6k crowd.
I think prize money was £135k for a third round win and £180k for winning the fourth round and £360k for winning the fifth round. Also get £150k for being selected for live coverage. Better still, from 3rd round onwards, 45% of gate receipts are divided between clubs. So ideally, to maximise ££ we would want to beat Man U away in the fifth round live on telly.
Back in the real world I'll take a scrappy 1-0 win at home against Reading in the fourth round!
If that happens they may end up taking Eze, BOS and Chair back with them. I'd prefer we stay under the radar with a non live TV game with the likes of Barnsley or Bristol Rovers, and save Man U, C, Liverpool etc until after the window is firmly locked.
But perhaps a top premiership side that attracts live coverage will be a good earner.
More than likely the only upset would be us getting spanked...plus our better players being on display for all the world to see, and being made to look distinctively average.
Usually happens on Sky, we've got Brentford and Leeds up next...
Also just announced Swansea away in Feb...
BBC wont be showing that one either...still very winnable
Yes, hardly one to stir excitement but looking on the bright side gives us an excellent chance to get into round 5.
Let’s do a Bidwell on Luongo! Then we could do a Luongo on Austin, then an Austin on Freeman...
...right through to doing a number on Sterling in the final.
