Would you rather qualify for the CL or win the FA Cup?

Personally I'd rather we won the FA cup, an actual trophy. No one talks about how many top 4 finishes you have. It's trophies. Look at the scenes in Newcastle on Sunday

But without a doubt the club would prefer CL qualification as the money involved is far far greater than the FA cup money. Plus a rebuild will likely require us to have CL football on offer to attract the players we need.

Unfortunately has to be the £££ of the champions league -50 to a 100 million

I’d rather win a trophy like the FA Cup, but completely understand why the club would prefer CL

Fa Cup and 5th will get us champs league!

Always nice to win a trophy, but totally understand the importance of CL qualification

Just what I was about to type

I love the FA Cup. For me it’s what football is all about. The cup final used to be the highlight of the year. I know money talks but it’s kind of the last bastion of football’s soul. Was at both games in 81. It’s an easy call for me.

Unfortunately fa cup is history and lost it’s kudos. Every fa cup final day me and the lads would be out on the lash whoever was in it, now it’s just another game.

Went for the first option. Obviously, top 4 AND FA Cup would be the best outcome, but as that's not an option I'll be happy with the FA Cup this season

Bare minimum both. Or Pep and the squad have some serious questions to answer.

This but we won't beat Bournemouth so it will be a push for chumps league. A sad indication of how far our standards have dropped. Lessons to be learnt as to squad management and player acquisition

I voted FA Cup, but your scenario is how I think it will be.

Would be lovely to win the cup. But sadly the reality is CL qualification is more important.
