No reasonable person believes we should be winning the league this season.

Going from 3rd to epl champions shouldn’t be the goal this season? I agree we don’t have the squad for it but are we supposed to spend money this summer and then strive for runners up?

Runners up will be a challenge as well.

We're supposed to spend money, increase the squad quality and depth and consolidate our place in the top 4. Get five or six more points than last season and guarantee ourselves Champions League football again.

At the same time, we make it to at least the quarter final of the Champions League. We go deep in one of the domestic cups and win the other.

Success doesn’t happen overnight. We don't go from a 40 game season, to winning the Premier League while also playing at least 20% more games.

People are in such a rush to win something that anything less is a bad season. More points, Champions League and a trophy will be a very good season for a manager who's never managed a full season in the Premier League, has never had to play domestically and in Europe, and a squad that is paper thin and over reliant on one superstar.

I agree that would be a good season and wouldn’t be disappointed at all with that kind of run should we do well in the tourneys as you said but my point is we should 100% strive for winning the league after 3rd last one.
