Glasgow_Saint Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 This is more a debate for Chelsea just now, but fast forward 2 years and this could be us!! Would you prefer top 4 finish and champions league football next year or winning the EUFA cup?
CB Fry Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 Uefa Cup. Winning a trophy all day long. I'd take the League Cup or FA Cup over top four too.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 27 April, 2013 Author Posted 27 April, 2013 Chelsea fans are fuming...... Saying that Benetiz only cares about his CV and doesnt care about a top 4 finish as wont be around next season. Chelsea fans seem to prefer the prospect of a top 4 finish over this years EUFA cup win

Glasgow_Saint Posted 27 April, 2013 Author Posted 27 April, 2013 Uefa Cup. Winning a trophy all day long. I'd take the League Cup or FA Cup over top four too. Interesting..... Many smaller clubs have won the league/FA cup but not many get a chance to play champions league soccer
Turkish Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 Interesting..... Many smaller clubs have won the league cup but not many get a chance to play champions league soccer Why not do both? We need to aim to do the quadruple. Reach for the moon and all that or something, if we aim to win all 4 we can settle for the champions league title, a top four finish and the league or FA cup.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 Don't you qualify for the Champion's League by winning the UEFA Cup anyway?
Miltonaggro Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 No contest, we finished runners up and Saints fans are the only ones that remember. Pot every time...
green_gibbon Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 Don't you qualify for the Champion's League by winning the UEFA Cup anyway? Nope. You get to play the Champions League winner in the UEFA Super Cup though.
VectisSaint Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 One of the best times ever when we played in the UEFA Cup Winners Cup. Not sure how this is related to Top 4 finish. Wouldn't mind winning the UEFA Europa League as long as we qualify by our league position or winning domestic cup and not by back door fair play nonsense.
Turkish Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 I know there is a champions league spot available but I do find it quit odd why people would chose 4th place in the league over winning a trophy.
whelk Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 I know there is a champions league spot available but I do find it quit odd why people would chose 4th place in the league over winning a trophy. I heard liverpool fans saying they rather finish 4th, than win the thing (which they did) and finsih 5th. At time weren't certain that winning would give entry following year. How desperate - seem to want to be in it for the money the following year rather than win it when they are! Fans acting like financial officers. Sure many scousers disagreed but sad indictment on what some fans consider success.
Olallana Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 I know there is a champions league spot available but I do find it quit odd why people would chose 4th place in the league over winning a trophy. I can understand that and maybe it depends of how you think of the question. If it´s a cup or top 4 without thinking of the consequences afterwards it´s obviously a trophy there to choose. But for me I think Top 4 benefits the club better in the long run, therefore it was my choice.....
Saint Garrett Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 Qualifying for the champs league has huge financial rewards. For a club who wins trophy's on a regular I can understand.
Barry Sanchez Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 UEFA Cup, no contest, a trophy would be brilliant.

For it to really benefit you you need to do it for several seasons, not just as a one off.
The Kraken Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 It didn't benefit Leeds. For it to really benefit you you need to do it for several seasons, not just as a one off. Nor Everton. They didn't even qualify for the league stages, they got knocked out in the premilinary rounds.
melmacian_saint Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 Give me a European Cup every single day...

Andre Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 Top four. Out of interest, why are none of these simple threads just polls? So much better than people making their point then leaving.
Smirking_Saint Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 Chelsea fans are pric*s. why should Benetiz give a f*ck about them after the way they've carried on the whole time he's been there. Chelsea fans are indeed *****s but Benitez is equally a c8ck in my mind, I dont really rate him that much either. For all the crap that gets bandied around by scousers about how good he is I honestly think he started the rot there. He is a decent cup manager, would be a v good int manager IMO but for me has never proven he can cut it in league competition Id take Uefa BTW but a top four finish is cash and CL so there we go
