A mate asked me this and, at first, I found it difficult to decide...
If you could choose between
1. Hibs winning the Scottish Cup and get relegated.
2. Hibs staying up and win nowt.
Which would you choose?
I would go for the Scottish Cup for the carnage!!!

Would you take relegation for the Scottish Cup?

Yes. Certainly if we came straight back up it would heve been worth it.
The one niggling thought would be that we could end up like Dundee, a once proud club, now a First Division perennial.

Absolutely not.
I would never want to see Hibs end up outside the SPL.

Scottish Cup will bring us a few quid. Relegation will cost us a lot more.

No.
I'd love to see us win the Cup - times running out for us oldsters - but relegation? No telling how much damage that would do to the club.

Never. A wee look across the toon, you will see a team that has in reality paid 19 million pounds for each cup they have won recently, and look where they are now. Would love to win the cup, but not if the price could be the club itself.

I'm a yes man, it's the Holy Grail of the Scottish cup for me.

A no brainer for me, the Scottish Cup.
Hibs would survive relegation and bounce back.
There is a helluva lot of Hibbies out there who have followed the club longer than me (45 years since I first went to ER) and deserve to see this.
Lets be honest if we p*** about finishing tenth or eleventh year in year out it would probably have the same effect as relegation.

We'd only survive relegation if we bounced back right away. Originally Posted by scoopyboy

Won't need to choose. We're going to stay up (with a degree confort!) and win the cup? Hibees! Hibees! Hibees! Hibees! (and I reckon we'll end celtic's winning run next week!)

No danger. I can remember the last two times we got relegated. It was rubbish. And we wouldn't find it so easy to recover and bounce back if it happened again. We can proudly say we've won it twice. Only 9 clubs have won it more times than we have. Most of the clubs in Scotland have never won the Scottish Cup. It's not a big deal, really.

Yes.
I'd take the cup now in exchange for relegation.
I believe that Fenlon would bring us straight back up
