Promotion any day .I'd go for the Cup as well. This year I think is a step too far for promotion but next year I reckon we can give it a real good go and get in the top two places.
It's more than £100m isn't it £130 seems to resonate ?
No idea. Just seen 100m quoted frequently.
Cost benifit, I'm not fixed on preference really either way, until we get a financial breakdown!Promotion please. FA cup - been there and got the t- shirt.
I've just wasted ten minutes of my life going through your responses. For those who expressed a preference, as requested in the OP, the FA Cup is just shading it.Is anyone keeping score?
Absolutely this. Take the trophy. It's so obvious I liked a hamertime post. FA cup is forever. Being in the prem 2024/25 - no one will remember. It only becomes a contest if there are add ons like survival/consistent challenging for trophies/European football.FA Cup and it's not even remotely close.
Clubs spend years in the top flight without winning a major trophy.
We'd be in Europe too.
Plus financially rewarding for the club compared to the FA Cup .Promotion is a more achievable goal than winning the FA Cup
Yeah, but the question wasn't which is the most achievable.Promotion is a more achievable goal than winning the FA Cup
The team around him now not enough to cope?Yeah, but the question wasn't which is the most achievable.
I know this is all lighthearted etc, but for this who have said "promotion," I do think that would pretty much be the end of Robins here with us next year.
Pretty much undoubtedly he would be sacked.
Careful for what you wish for.
No, I don't think so. Not yet.The team around him now not enough to cope?
What sort of chance do you realistically think you have got?Good good. Concentrate on promotion. Don’t want to risk your best players against a team of non league bruisers and endanger reaching the promised land.
Very dangerous to assume promotion will definitely happen regardless of how well we r being runCup every time. Well get promoted soon enough. I want to see us in Europe.
What r u on about Otis? Forest got promoted from 6th and just made wholesale changes to stay upNo, I don't think so. Not yet.
We are just hanging on to 6th place aren't we. When you look at the table, Leeds and Leicester are 18 points and 27 points ahead of us, respectively.
If we were flying at the top of the league, it would be different, but we're not.
Not sure many of this squad would cope in the Premier.
I think we would need a season where we were absolutely flying to be honest, to feel confident enough that we would cope at the higher level.
The cup is just individual games where anything can happen.
We all know though, that we would need an incredible slice of luck to even get to the final and then would need the likes of Man City or Liverpool have their entire squad struck down by food poisoning on the day of the final.
Have it so that Klopp and his back room staff all have to don their boots and play, and we would might be in with a chance.
Yup. They had to buy 22 players or something didn't they.What r u on about Otis? Forest got promoted from 6th and just made wholesale changes to stay up
Prem money would mean we enhance the squad over the summer before prem season starts
What sort of chance do you realistically think you have got?
I know people here are talking of 4, 5 nil wins plus for us but I think that's a bit disrespectful.
I would be happy with a 2-0.
I'm sure you will fight tooth and nail and throw everything into chasing and harrying and closing down etc, but think we will break through at some point.
Once we do I think we will be quite comfortable then.
We could thrash you of course, but I am not expecting it. Just need to get through, so doesn't matter if it's 2 nil or 5 nil.
I take it you think you will need a tremendous stroke of luck to beat us.
I don't think it will be.We’re not stupid. We know how this story ends.
I will be approaching this game with the same mindset of every previous round, including Steyning Town.
Assuming we will lose, so that anything else is a bonus.
Just hope the final game in the cup is not an 8-0 drubbing for an amazing bunch of players.

Well we missed out on Europe last time. Scousers fucked that upFA Cup and it's not even remotely close.

If that's really how you feel, I can't see much point bothering with competitive sport!Win the cup you get a bit of money and keep a cup for 1 year.
The two clubs you mention aren't great advertisements for the transformative powers of promotion to the Premier League. Unless you mean it helped them win the FA Cup...It’s not the 80s anymore. Relative minnows winning the FA Cup (Wigan, Portsmouth) does very little to change the trajectory of the club. Promotion to the Premier League is usually transformative.
Well yeah, there is a chance that neither achievement would make much difference to the club (you could make an argument for promotion even turning out to be a bad thing). But in terms of which one is most likely to make a positive long-term impact on the club’s future success (and financial security) then there’s only one real answer.The two clubs you mention aren't great advertisements for the transformative powers of promotion to the Premier League.

I ain't on about fa cup Vs prem.Who said anything about regardless of how we’re being run. We’re arguably run the best in my lifetime though so I’m confident ofnpromotion sooner rather than later. Also money is great and all but I’m in no rush to see us get spanked and patronised every week. The Championship is fine. I’ve seen City in the Prem. I want to travel to some bumfuck nowhere Romanian town to watch us in Europe far more than go to the Ethiad.
I ain't on about fa cup Vs prem.
I am saying it's crazy to act like us getting to the premier league is a foregone conclusion over the next few years
