So, who do we want and, later, what do we think about it?
63 other teams will be in the draw, plus replays, with just 20 of those being premier league. Another 24 from the championship.
If a big pay day is what we want, then there is probably only a one in three chance of that because (one in six to get the away draw), even with TV money the likes of Burnley, Luton and Bournemouth do not have the big stadiums and several others, such as Forest have capacities below 30,000.
A few big clubs in the championship, but if we want a real money spinner, then it is Arsenal, Liverpool, the two Manchesters, Spurs, West Ham, then maybe Chelsea, Newcastle, Everton and Villa. Am sure someone can produce a list of the potential biggest earners.
The cup has a habit of throwing up connections, so might Wolves be the one? Overall though, a big payday is probably less than a one in five, or even one in ten chance. What if we get a home draw against one of the big boys? TV money aside, that will not bring in anything like as much.
Sod's Law says we get an away match at the lowest attending club left. Fine, I suppose, if they are beatable, because am guessing the prize money for getting to the 4th round is substantial.
Chances are, we will be the lowest ranked side left, which certainly brings media interest, so it would be really nice to be in the spotlight for a few weeks and, who knows, awaken interest from potential investors.
Cross everything for a top drawer draw!
