facup or promotion?

Unfortunately modern day football dictates your in the PL or nowhere, so although it irks, promotion.

Promotion.

FA Cup (win - or minimum semi-final) next season.

There's to much to lose outside the Premier, so, its worth a lot more than any cup!..

FA Cup win for me, it is forever…PL as we found out can be gone in the blink of an eye.

Like a lot of our players if we don't go up. But winning the FA Cup migh mean they stay.
Losing Archie or Cree would be a big price to pay but we could lose them anyway and not have the cup
Like you say steross it's forever.

"FACup magic"?

FFS our performance in the FACup's been nothing but gut-wrenchingly disappointing ever since Porterfield got lucky back at the beginning of time.

Promotion is way, way more important, and even the Championship presents a much more difficult challenge than winning the Cup, in my view.

It's unlikely we will progress beyond Chelsea, being realistic. Could a defeat to a PL side, albeit one that is underperforming at present, trigger a wobble at this crucial point in the season?

I'd welcome a cup run if we were in the PL. Otherwise it's a risk and a distraction we don't need.

Win both, problem solved.

FA Cup.

FA Cup easy. Much more likely to get promoted another season than we are to win the FA Cup.

FA Cup, unbelievable moment that might never happen again, Europe next season. Still got parachute payments. Should be able to attract the level of player needed to challenge again in a season where we would be able to do worse points wise and still win the league.

Give me FA cup please.
