"Daniel Farke knows how to read a balance sheet. As the holder of an MA in economics and a diploma in sporting directorship, he needs no reminders that, financially, avoiding relegation is infinitely more important than trying to win the FA Cup."
"Farke fully appreciates the best managers are, in a different context, similarly expert storytellers. Can he resist pursuing a plot line that may just conclude with a survival and Cup glory double?"
"West Ham haven't played in an FA Cup semi-final since 2006, Leeds since 1987. In that context, this match is kind of a big deal."
