Next season we will most likely be a top 8 to top 4 side, regardless of whether we win the FA Cup, get knocked out of the CL qualifier or make the CL group stage.
Not sure we will suddenly hugely change our acquisition strategy, we're still going to be buying Tadic types. And we won't budget for regular CL campaigns, meaning we aren't going to throw 4 year CL contracts at CL "level" players.
CL qualification might keep Morgan (or Toby) here but it might not.
The only certainty if we win the FA Cup in 2015 is that we would have won the FA Cup in 2015.
Finishing fourth might not be the gates to paradise some "long term thinkers" believe it to be. A desire to win the FA Cup is as equally a long term perspective.
