Jamie O’Hara has said on talkSPORT (7:27am, February 7, 2022) that Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy would prefer finishing in the Premier League top four to winning the FA Cup.

The former Tottenham midfielder has said that he would prefer to win the FA Cup to qualifying for the Champions League.

But, according to the talkSPORT pundit, Tottenham chairman Levy would be just the opposite.

Antonio Conte’s side got the better of Brighton and Hove Albion at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the fourth round of the FA Cup at the weekend.

Spurs are seventh in the Premier League table at the moment with 36 points from 20 matches, just two points behind fourth-placed Manchester United, who have played 22 games.

O’Hara said on talkSPORT (7:27am, February 7, 2022) when asked whether he would pick FA Cup or Champions League qualification: “FA Cup. A million percent. Spurs need to win a trophy.

“If you ask Daniel Levy that, he would say the Champions League. 1 million per cent he would say Champions League football because of the business side, finances, but as a fan, we need to win trophies.”

Premier League top four or FA Cup for Tottenham Hotspur?

In our view, Tottenham should prioritise the Premier League top four over winning the FA Cup.

Now, of course, Spurs fans would love to win the FA Cup.

After all, it is a prestigious cup competition.

However, finishing in the Champions League is huge for any club in terms of finances and growth as a club.

Wigan Athletic won the FA Cup not so long ago, but where are they now?

So, in our view, Tottenham should prioritise finishing in the Premier League top four to winning the FA Cup.

Of course, the ideal scenario for Spurs would be to end up in the Champions League places and win the FA Cup…
