    Premier league. Not only because we should be aiming for the highest level but also so we could invest in the infrastructure and ensure our safety financially if done correctly.

    From a selfish viewpoint FA cup because I've seen us get into and play in the Prem. Can you imagine being at Wembley and seeing them lift a major trophy?

    Prem. love the FA cup but, as mentioned above, this would secure the club’s long term future.

    Very tough one, but would have to go with the FA Cup. A major honour, plus European football.

    Easy one.
    The point of sport is to win. Along with the joy of competing etc obviously but the main aim is to win.
    Only one of those options sees us winning something and a pretty big something at that.

    I can't agree with this. If we reached the Prem we should spend what we reasonably could to try to stay there. Football first and foremost, although hopefully we could do both, at least for a few seasons.

    Why isn’t there a promotion and FA cup double option? I’d vote for that if there was. After all we did it with Hecky, why not with Schopp? :D

    FA Cup is a bonus. Promotion should be the aim.

    This poll is a little too binary for my taste - I'll pass.

    Premier - you get a whole year of different matches, more coverage etc. without even taking account the extra money and fans it would bring.

    Prem easy. Get to play in the most watched league in the world bringing millions of new eyes to this great club, also the amount of money we would earn from just one season in that league would be insane and would help turn us into a side like West Brom etc. that are always near the top whenever they are in the championship.

    Premier League, all day, every day.

    Had we gone up, I'd have been alright with 14 points - four wins, two draws, and 32 defeats. The on-field results are irrelevant, almost. Thanks for the quarter of a billion pounds. Now use it wisely. Renovate the stadium, and continue with the same recruitment model, but buy from better clubs.

    Winning the FA Cup would be brilliant, and it would have meant everything had we done it in 2008. But it doesn't transform the finances of a club in the way that finishing rock-bottom in the Premier League does.
