Are league titles outside the top division not major honours, and wouldn't the Charity Shield have been a major competition before WW!.
Palace won't be happy given how much they go on about the Zenith Data Cup

Charity Shield 1910
Would you swap an FA Cup win for Premier League survival this season?

The victory remains Brighton and Hove Albion's only national honour to date.

Immediately thought No but on reflection Yes.Wow it would be great feeling to win FA cup and feel confident unless we lost players we could have a great season in the Championship.
100% no. I cannot fathom how anyone would. I'm not going to tell my grandchildren about the time we finished 17th in the Premier League.
I would.
Isn't that a reason for it to be a yes?
"Would you swap an FA Cup win for Premier League survival this season?"
So we have an FA Cup win, and would I exchange it for Premier League survival? No, I wouldn't.

C'mon the Albion!
An F.A.Cup win would be great!
A Chance to get to Europe!
Bollocks to mid-table mediocrity!
I don't think there's any panic about survival. I still think there are 3 worse teams in this division than us!
And with squad we've got (and the money we've spent on it), we've effectively got two first teams! (Ignore Saturday!)
I think we should definitely play "stronger" versions of our squad as we go on, starting with the replay next week!
We've got super fit players, and we're not playing 46 games in a season, like we were in the Championship, so lets just go for it! No negativity CH! Play to win!

It's a national competition, but not a major one.

Correct. To take an FA Cup win while retaining a reasonable chance of Premier League survival would be OK.
To voluntarily decide on our exclusion from the Premier League would be an act of self harm impossible to imagine. It would be like the UK suddenly deciding to...
Perhaps we should go for a Newcastle++ deal?

Why the choice? They are not mutually exclusive - we could (but very probably won't) win the FA Cup this season, and stay up (which is quite likely). It is very, very rare for a team to win the FA Cup and get relegated in the same season (just Wigan so far in a hundred and forty years isn't it?), so the odds are heavily against it happening.

At the time, the winners were entitled to call themselves Champions of All England.

Hoping for the introduction of a World Fans Moaning Super Cup , no team would ever get a sniff of winning it back from us .
