AshtonGreat Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Nothing wrong with him having ambition, but I'm taking it with a pinch of salt. I imagine every club in the Championship/bottom half of the Premiership is saying the same thing - doesn't mean it's gonna happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says he's putting the pressure on all at the club to emulate Swansea/Stoke-best get Mark Ashton "cracking on" then...a less than distinguished august and Lee will need his crash hat.

Lrrr Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Don't know about anyone else but I'd happily take consistent top 10 championship club in 5 years time. Much better than going backwards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipps69 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 We have to keep the momentum going & that means progressing on & off the pitch & continuing to try & improve everything within the club & hope that the snowball affect takes & we keep it rolling the correct way.

This is how I feel about it Hodge-build a solid base,become consistent/hard to beat and build gradually-sustainability.I think Lee is ahead of himself,even though many will just see it as positivity.

One Team In Keynsham Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 This is the ambition and vision that has been sadly lacking since the heady days of the 10 year plan mob, whenever that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abraham Romanovich Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Quite a thread, how to get to Cardiff on the train, imagine we really were "premiership ready" and in five years time we drew Partizan Tirana away in the Europa Cup, the thread would run for a thousand pages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky89 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Stoke City. That's what I'd like. Signing some entertaining quality players like Bojan and Arnautovic etc. No relegation worries . . . . occasional trip to Wembley for Cup finals/semis, the odd win against the big boys each season. What a life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could win the FA Cup this year and be in it next season. It's extremely unlikely, but there is a chance. There's no club within the top 14 tiers* of English football that has "zero chance" of being in the Europa league in 5 years time, it just gets increasingly less likely as you go down the list *Teams from the top 10 tiers are eligible to enter the FA Cup, so a team from the 14th tier could be promoted 4 times and then win it and still be in the 5 year limit.
