Toon boss would take another Wembley victory over run in the Champions League
EDDIE HOWE has insisted that winning the Carabao Cup again this season with Newcastle would mean more than a cash-laden run to the latter stages of the Champions League.
Howe's side have Tottenham standing in their way of a place in the quarterfinals this year, but will only get a cheque of £15,000 for seeing off Thomas Frank's side.
Lifting the Carabao Cup is worth just £100,000 in prize money to the Saudi-backed Magpies, with that amount dwarfed by the £1.8m UEFA payment picked up for last week's 3-0 victory over Benfica.
A run to the knockout stages of the Champions League would earn £9.4m for the Magpies. But manager Howe is not concerned about the weight of the purse.
