    I think 5th and FA cup, we have never won it before it would make history. Plus 5th would be amazing in its own right. You never know whether we'd even get past the qualifying round in the champs league

    It a tough one. The prospect of getting Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Barcelona at the King Power in a competitive match probably swings it for me

    Champions League football changes everything.

    We could attract a whole new level of talent, which could see us reach the next level and win more FA Cups in the future.

    Easy answer for me.

    Winning the cup wasn't the reason for wigans demise, once they got relegated it was pretty obvious they'd struggle to get back. We've got fans, set-up, owners etc to hopefully ensure us a more stable future than Wigan. Like I say, they're names on the cup forever, ours isn't, yet.

    Silverware is always good.

    Either way, ending up with more than 41 points will be a massive achievement irregardless.

    5th and FA Cup WINNERS for me. Our name would forever be in the record books.
    Worst day of my life was when C*v won the cup.

    Think the champions league money would actually help us to sustain ourselves as a top half club for longer rather than the fleeting glimpse of FA Cup glory and possibly going down the route that Swansea seem to currently be on.

    Think with the current scouting side, and more money in their kitty, we may be able to pull out some gems that do cost that bit more initially.

    Interesting that the poll is 50/50 at the mo, but hell, i'd take either <ok>

    I would say 5th & win the Fa cup as we would have won a Trophy plus be in Europa so you can't lose.
    I'd be happy with just finishing 5th this season tbh.

    Remember that finish 4th gets you in the qualifying stage - not the Champions league proper so could end up with bugger all.

    We currently hold the unenviable record of being the most times runners up in the FA Cup without winning the thing so I would love to end that - doubt that we will this season though as we have important league games before and after that we will rest players for.

    To finish 5th and win the FA CUP would be a great season, far exceeds my expectation at the start of the season!
    We can move onwards and upwards next season.

    Would we be more likely to keep Mahrez with an FA Cup win or Champions League football?

    Agreed. ........ and more likely to attract other players of similar quality.
