5 reasons why EPL managers don't take the EFL cup seriously

1.Will you even be remembered?

Forgotten heroes

Finally, winning trophies should be a way to make sure that the club gets a wider fan following across the world and its achievements are etched deeply in the annals of footballing history.

But winning EFL Cup is not going to guarantee you more fans or a legendary status. Take the case of Wigan Athletic who lifted the 2012-13 FA Cup which is considered more prestigious, but today they are languishing in League One and not much can be said of their fan base outside the Wigan town.

As already mentioned, running a football club is an expensive affair and no corporate worth his salt is going to offer a juicy deal to a club for merely winning the EFL Cup. Such triumphs are quickly forgotten and neither fans nor large corporates chase such clubs.
