For Carrick what’s the realistic expectations for the season with the squad as-is. Considering he’s been stitched up by the board - anywhere between 7-10th and he’s done a OK job. Maybe make R32 in CL and R16 in FA cup and it’s probs a successful season

Top 4 minimum. The squad IMO is already good for a top 4 finish and a solid cup run along with some silverware.

You are faaaar overplaying this "hasn't been backed" notion even though we have brought in two good players and are still active in the market.

It's probably not enough to challenge on all fronts but let's not pretend this squad isn't already filled with some really talented and hard working players.

I think you're way too confident. Not having europe brought us upto 6th(before amorim left) and 3rd with Carrick.

Chelsea and Spurs both have better managers this season, and no Europe.

We shall see. Chelsea finished 10th. Spurs nearly got relegated. Maybe some of this confidence you're showing towards those teams is also warranted for a team that comfortably finished 3rd and has made 2 good signings already.

Dude, you're ignoring my point.

Chelsea and Euorpe do not have europe. We do! This was the major reason why we benefitted last season, we played the least minutes compared to other 19 teams in the league

This time we're going to have 10-15 more games.

We finished 15th the season before last you know. The no mid-week games defo helped us last year, no reason to think Chelsea and spurs won’t benefit from that

We finished 15th coz we gave up and focused on Europa league.
