    Even if we had a big chance of “top 4” i wouldn’t want us throwing a cup to prioritise it.

    Treating top 4 like a trophy is everything wrong with modern football.

      You’re right to an extent but wasn’t it Wenger who said something along the lines of you don’t get players to sign by winning the FA cup?

      Finishing 4th isn’t the trophy, it just allows you to compete for a much bigger trophy.

      Nah spending a billion in 12 months is everything wrong with football. And after spending a billion, your aim is semi finals of the carabao 🤡
