6oclockcrew Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Id love a greenlight on the stadium before the start of next season. With this we may pick up a few quality players in the summer, mid-table would be nice. I trust del to do the right thing, a season of the commitment we have saw in the last 6 weeks would be brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Exactly. With a busy summer ahead it will be the start of a huge transitional period that the club has not seen for a long time. It will be a work in progress. We need to slowly improve year on year and be patient and content with it, by doing things the right way, getting the style of play right, academy, facilities and finances in a good state as well as a much improved transfer policy. Swansea are a good model, they have been improving year on year without spending crazy money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelliottBcfc21 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Somewhat like a Boro job, last season, they tried to strengthen, but it failed, due to the vast amount of players. not that im saying this will happen to us. But now the season after and they are pushing for playoffs! thats where id liek to see this club go. Next season is a season for all teh new players to gel, and make impacts, before the season after, we can hit the ground running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I'd be happy to emulate our 08/09 and 09/10 seasons in terms of league position. Minus all the late goals, home draws and inept defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ournicky Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Mid table with a decent cup run, and the green light for a new stadium please.

sportingmad0209 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Comfortable mid-table position come March next year, with an outside chance of the play-offs (something to play for). A decent cup run, and good news on the stadium wouldn't go a miss. AND... A respectable positive goal difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 A season like Burnley have just had. Solid with some decent results and a brief flirtation with the top 6. Beat some lower league opposition In the cups for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Casual Connoisseur Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Survival, by building a good young squad, capable of playing attractive football, the emergence of an academy player(s) in the first team........... ............oh and the ongoing saga with the stadium not affecting our on field performance, whatever will be, will be, let the big wigs sort it out.

ciderup Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 If we could get anywhere near the top 10 with entertaining football and a positive goal difference I would be happy. The shoots of recovery / progress are what I want to see plus an end to the stadium saga, it's gone on too long and caused alot of us to forget about the team! The stadium is, obviously, very important for the long term aspirations of the club and would help with recruitment but as Wolfie said, let the lawyers sort it out while we back the players. Once we see the cranes on Ashton Vale we can watch the stadium build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grifty Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Anywhere in the top 12 will be great! I wanna see us on the first page of the table, not the 2nd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky89 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I would be more than happy if next season: * We finished top half * Got the green light for Ashton Vale * Put together a very impressive home record * Had a decent cup run and got to play Man United, Liverpool, Chelsea etc Not asking for too much am I?!?

herman Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 at the current level of spending, with 12m yearly losses and the wage bill being wildly above average for this division you have to be honest about it and say that playoffs are a minimum requirement and automatic promotion could be expected for that kind of investment of course we know that money is being spent too badly for that to be realistic, so i would say if del can get the wage bill to half or two thirds of where it is now and reduce the squad to a managable size and age, then 10th to 12th would be a good expectation as long as he can demonstrate he is building a team and bringing players through. if we come out of the summer with a high wage bill and signings who are on average on the wrong side of 28 then i would be tremendously disappointed.

Scrumpty Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Win the championship and FA Cup* qualifying for Europe. * knocking the Sags out in the 3rd round. Too optimistic? Probably, but the Sags may get easy ties in rounds one and two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betelgeuse Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I agree with most. A top half finish will be nice with a bonus of a cup run! It would be great just to see a settled, decent sized squad who compete in all games. Progress is the main thing with a good old clear out and a new back room team come into place.

SecretSam Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Mostly we seem to have realistic expectations - top half finish and maybe some fun in a cup. That'll do me.

Bris Red Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Cant argue with most so its got to be a top half finish for me also.. Is a tad annoying though seeing the likes of Reading come from more or less no where and storm the division with a pretty average group of players. Things like that make you think this league is so random who knows where we could end up next season, and aiming for the top 6 shouldnt be such a wild suggestion as some on here would have you believe.
