Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 14 July 2015 Posted 14 July 2015 With the owners and CR plastering the fact that Claudio is the man to take us to the next level, what would everyone consider to be realistic expectations for next season? If he spends a decent wedge of money and only finishes 17-14th would that be enough for us as fans? And more importantly would the owners accept that?
egg_fried_rice Posted 14 July 2015 Posted 14 July 2015 Same as it would have been under Pearson - aim for midtable and a decent cup run.
Ashley Posted 14 July 2015 Posted 14 July 2015 Just survive and hopefully comfortably. This maybe a good cup run.. Europa League a possibility maybe in a year or two?
FireFox Posted 14 July 2015 Posted 14 July 2015 At least 15th. Depending on transfers, as high as 8th.
davieG Posted 14 July 2015 Posted 14 July 2015 That CR justifies his appointment so we don't have to go through all this for at least 3 years.
Sharpe's Fox Posted 14 July 2015 Posted 14 July 2015 A poor run of form means Ranieri is sacked, we bring in a successful Championship manager and just manage to stay up. Nothing of note in the cup competitions.
TrentFox Posted 14 July 2015 Posted 14 July 2015 17th. Anything more seems a bonus right now after this car-crash of a pre-season.
SomalianFox15 Posted 14 July 2015 Posted 14 July 2015 Improve on last seasons 14th place. Maybe a decent cup run. I would be over the moon if we could just survive though.
Guest MattP Posted 14 July 2015 Posted 14 July 2015 Same as every season, an improvement on the last one. So 13th or above. Unless we spend absolutely ridiculous money I see no reason for that to change.
6ups 6downs 2 cups Posted 14 July 2015 Posted 14 July 2015 Mid table with only a fleeting flirt with the bottom end of the table , perhaps go for the cups if we are doing ok in the league.
Haydos Posted 14 July 2015 Posted 14 July 2015 Another transition period again. So I'd be happy with staying up and building on that next year. Anything else would be a bonus.
Len Finsbury Posted 14 July 2015 Posted 14 July 2015 Our final position flattered us last season so I'd be happy finishing around the same position this year but with a little more comfort. If we can avoid being sucked into the relegation battle towards the latter stages, that'll mean success for CR's first season in charge.
kingcarr21 Posted 14 July 2015 Posted 14 July 2015 For me we need to ensure survival. I would happily take 17th right now. Get the money in for another season.
Sooper Steve's shin Posted 14 July 2015 Posted 14 July 2015 I'm not sure which way it will go, but I think it will be one of two extremes - Claudio sacked by Christmas because he can't get this group of players to work and we end up with Big Sam or similar but relegated; or top half and a Cup win. I can't see it being an uneventful, no-drama season of midtable obscurity (but I'd happily take that right now given the £££ for TV in the Prem from 2016).
Fridgechef Posted 14 July 2015 Posted 14 July 2015 14th or above, we have the squad to be able to do it, and an experienced manager, i see no reason why we would not be able to achieve this.
EverybodyDannsNow Posted 14 July 2015 Posted 14 July 2015 After such a crazy pre season the aim now is surely just to stay up. Offer me 17th place now and I would snap your hands off
Guest kristianity77 Posted 14 July 2015 Posted 14 July 2015 I'd be happy with 17th or above, and maybe a cup quarter final / semi final would be a bonus.
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 14 July 2015 Posted 14 July 2015 I'll be happy with survival this season, even scraping it provided CR doesn't blow a load of money on ill-fitting or over-the-hill players. The squad needs a mid-field boost for certain, that's a far bigger priority than adding to our already decent attacking options Cup run would be a bonus, but CR will need a little time to adjust so I'm not too bothered if he doesn't put too much emphasis on this for this season
foxfanazer Posted 14 July 2015 Posted 14 July 2015 17th. Anything more seems a bonus right now after this car-crash of a pre-season.Agreed
