FA Cup / Relegation on 10:48 - Mar 3 with 1848 views | _clive_baker_ | Win the Cup, definitely. What a day that would be at Wembley, and further ITFC glory etched into history forevermore. Can't see us either winning a cup or staying up this season though sadly. |  | |  |
FA Cup / Relegation on 10:53 - Mar 3 with 1803 views | ITFC_Forever | Stupid question of the day. Win the cup all day long. |  |

Clubs would rather finish top 4 than win the cup so not that stupid I wonder what the club would answer to that question not like us fans. |  | |  |
FA Cup / Relegation on 11:39 - Mar 3 with 1680 views | TractorWood | Stay up. It's what the club needs to push on long term. We've already won the FA cup. I also draw you to Leicester who people forget or broadly ignore won in 2021. [Post edited 3 Mar 11:42]

£2m for winning the cup £loads m for avoiding relegation Think that probably answers the hierarchy's position |  | |  |
FA Cup / Relegation on 11:44 - Mar 3 with 1647 views | Ralphinho | Stay up, without question. Get another year of PL money, build the squad and potentially higher chance of retaining KM (opposed to him being a Cup Winner with the current caliber of our squad - highly desirable). We need to establish ourselves at the top level and the opportunities to win the cup will present themselves more readily with time. A one off fluke of a FA Cup win will not serve us us in the long term, with the exception of another star on the shirt and, admittedly, some amazing memories. |  |

They’re not asking the club though, they’re asking fans. Commercial position would obviously be different because it’s all about $$$ |  | |  |

Did Wigan do that too? |  | |  |
FA Cup / Relegation on 11:49 - Mar 3 with 1605 views | slade1 | Stay up 100% No question about it. Whats the point of winning the cup and being relegated and having to start all over again trying to get back into the prem? |  | |  |

FA Cup / Relegation on 11:53 - Mar 3 with 1577 views | Churchman | Sadly, as somebody who has great memories of the FA Cup when it was as important as the League Title, I have to say stay up. It’d give the club a chance to build and grow. |  | |  |

"What's the point of winning the cup?" huh? what's the point in any of it then? |  | |  |
FA Cup / Relegation on 11:54 - Mar 3 with 1564 views | SuffolkPunchFC | For the long term development of the club, it's an easy choice - stay in the Premier League and become established. There will then be many opportunities to win the FA cup, or play in Europe in the future. Anyone who thinks otherwise just doesn't grasp the importance of becoming established in the EPL ASAP. It's going to get harder each season that passes. Putting the FA cup over survival this season is short-sighted. |  | |  |
FA Cup / Relegation on 12:00 - Mar 3 with 1514 views | MattinLondon | Stay up without a doubt. The long term benefit of staying up is more important to the club than winning the FA Cup. Avoiding relegation will mean more money and hopefully improving the ground. |  | |  |

If we win the cup but get relegated, will we be able to play in Europe next season? |  |

FA Cup / Relegation on 12:06 - Mar 3 with 1475 views | Pinewoodblue | Stay up. Winning the cup would mean having to play eight European games before Christmas and would impact on our performance in Championship. We would have many Championship games to reschedule and would play twice as many midweek games as our competitors. |  |

Oh no. Eight games in Europe. Sounds like a total nightmare............ |  | |  |

I'd rather stay up than win a trophy we've already won once. If that makes me a loon so be it, I think it makes me realistic, experienced and able to see the longer term picture. Ymmv |  | |  |

Yes still qualify Some of the answers on here are quite interesting,for many it's not the money it's enjoying the game Day out at Wembley win cup have a great season in championship,which with our backing we would sounds great to me but there you go I'm an old git! |  | |  |

This. It’s win/win/win from the fans perspective anyway. |  | |  |
