Where's the FA Cup win, Champions League, and Palace getting relegated all in one season option? If that actually does ever happen...

Congratulations, Nostradamus! You've done it again.
Voted for fourth and a bit ashamed of myself really.
It should really be about the trophy, but I can't quite shake off that Wembley semi final defeat. We weren't prepared to treat it as a one off game. Risk a hammering, but just maybe sneak a shock win?
For Man City fans the whole thing just felt like a major inconvenience, like why could they just not give them the trophy anyway, why do they actually have to play games to win it and everything.

strong and stable with me, or...
FA Cup win.
Top 10 league finish.
Europe following season.
The very definition of no brainer.

Imagine wanting Palace to go down instead of the Albion succeeding...

Giving us the opportunity of joining the rarefied company of multiple charity shield winners. So F.A cup glory, a season in Europe AND the charity shield against finishing lower than Palace's best finish and a season in Europe.
FA Cup, Europa League and ninth.
I would be surprised if any other option got anywhere near that.

I think some people under-estimate the value of an FA Cup win. If the Albion achieve that then:
1. It would be our first proper trophy.
2. The manager and his team are winners. That means any future signings know they are joining a club not just a high rung on the food chain ladder but a club where you can win cups and medals.
3. You grow the brand globally - the FA Cup Final still has a huge global audience.
4. Outside of the Top 6, at a stroke it would mean we'd achieved something that NONE of the other 14 Prem clubs bar Leicester have achieved in 28 years.

League Cup and a box of fondant fancies would do me, especially the orange ones they do for Halloween. A trophy is forever, Europe or fondant fancies are fleeting pleasures, plus silverware would be doing a number on trophy-less Palace in any case.
No -it doesn't work like that. Teams do not have coefficients. Leagues / Associations have coefficients.

Nostradamus didn't do very well, did he?
I find it amazing that so many would swerve the Champions League opportunity which has to be the greatest club competition in the world.
(I'd better stop digging and take the FA Cup win)
