Let's move forward five years. The chances are we won't have won the Champions League. After all Chelsea haven't. Arsenal haven't. And they have both been competing in it for 10 years or more.
You don't have to win Champions League to take all advantages it's offers...
But from the rest of the post I can see that you're pretty much desperate to win something so you can "show" it to someone so I pretty much doubt you're able to look at things more deeply.
Maybe Cobwebcat's could help:
I won't bore people with the FFP regulations but even a basic understanding would leave you with one of the above two choices.

I think he would prefer a succesful club for years to come.

Think about that as the excitement of lifting the FA Cup or Europa Cup starts to wear off in the subsequent months and next season starts with a worse squad.
Our whole business plan is geared up around CL qualification to move the club on tenfold in one step, not a romantic idea that winning the FA Cup for the fans will help remove a banner (they'll just put another up....so feffing what?!)
" I've been following City for X years and I want....blah blah blah"
CL + owners like ours = nothing stands in our way.
FA Cup? Great before the money came in but now we must be aiming a lot higher. A LOT.
not a whole host of clubs can afford to our players. And really, aside from Kompany, De Jong, and Silva (who seems like he indeed likes it here), at the end of the day, could you really be arsed if anyone else fucked off? There have been better players before them and there will be better after them.

Yes I could be arsed and you would too if you realised the difference they made and the implications and long term damage it would do to our club if they went.
One player (like Tevez) can make a big difference. Our time to get into the CL and grab the cash is limited because of the FFP regulations and it's these same players you don't rate that have got us to the last 8 of the FA Cup in the first place.

no, I'd like a trophy (not just entry to a cup competition).
just like to know what doors the cl has opened for spuds cos i dont see theyve attracted to much inthe way of top class players and the cash it generates is not to important to us.also if we ended up 4th then didnt win the qualifying round and sacrificed the fa cup in sustaining 4th place i would be pretty sick.

Is it not possible to have both?
