Im all for stability, but I'm all for visible progress too. With the quality of squad we will have at the start of next season, anything less than 7th (if not better) should be deemed a failure.
The bar will be raised considerably this offseason, fueled by the comments of not making Europe actually benefiting us. Lets hope (pray) he is up to the task.
He said 7th this year with a weaker squad than he has now. He has already failed on that statement once.
To be honest SP, I'm thinking 5th, but I'm trying not to get too carried away with the expectations!
That being said, why not 5th? We will be talking about hundreds of millions spent by the time August rolls around...
I expect 6th at the absolute minimum. and at least a cup semi final. We will have a bigger squad with a higher standard of quality and no european distractions giving us maximum preparation time between games. (Maybe we could spend that extra time on defending from set pieces and scoring from them?)
In reality I would think we should be challenging Arsenal if we show the right level of ambition. Going back for Santa Cruz and Parker is not showing ambition.
I hope to god that if by some miracle he keeps his job the owners have said 6th minimum. If it doesnt look likely by novemebr your gone.
