If we don't mount a serious challenge for the best cup competition in the world, I will be furious.
Furious, I tells ya!

What happens if we are in the QF and the top 4 race? Big game in both and players need a rest?
Me personally I’d go FA Cup first
At this point we can't realistically field a team in the league let alone worry about the cup
You win like £1.5m for winning the FA Cup. Getting Champion's League and a subsequent decent run is worth £50m odd. That's why there's a focus that way, even if a bit of silverware is the prestige and whipping tool.
I won’t see that 50m. I’ll remember the cup run for the rest of my lifeAt this point we can't realistically field a team in the league let alone worry about the cup

I'll be fuming.
I don't disagree but that £50m affects the players that come into the club in the future, keeping us competitive. Or not. You'll care about that.
Players don’t sign on one year contracts. We missed Top 4 k last season and had our best transfer window in ages.
Levy will want the money but as fans it should be the glory. Lost count of number of times we have qualified for CL but we have not won the FA Cup since 1991.At this point we can't realistically field a team in the league let alone worry about the cup

We also lost our best player because we both aren't challenging and aren't in the champions league.
I said I didn't disagree, but realistically football is a business first. Hopefully with the new direction and better approach we will see different fruit grow.
We’d have lost Kane if we’d have got Top 4.
Winning a Trophy was maybe the only thing that might have persuaded him to stay
If you think Kane would have stayed if we won a league or FA Cup but didn't qualify for the champions league, I don't know what to tell you.
I know for sure Top 4 alone wasn’t keeping him.
I'll be fulminating.
We lost our best player because we had to go backwards to go forwards and that's been the case for every stage of our development under ENIC. We got into the CL without Berbatov, we became CL regulars without Bale and we'll win trophies without Kane.
I'm quietly hopeful for the FA Cup. If we're fortunate with the early round draws and get some of our players back in the new year, we might be a surprise package. The one positive about the injury crisis is that it's giving some of our fringe players a run in the first team and if we've got back-up players who have been given time to play we'll have a much stronger squad in the longrun.
