That league is there for the taking...PUSB

If Burnely lose Kompany, can see Luton winning the league.

 

[Viktor17]

I’ll be disappointed if we don’t make top 6. Got to start well.

 

[shepardo01]

Hope it is Lampard!

 

[Flying Fokker]

Hope it is Lampard!

One looks half awake, the other wonders where he is.

Fair play

 

[Saddlebrains]

This is the most wide open Championship in years

If we dont make at least Top 6 next season we have 0 excuses for me

 

[San Francisco]

If we recruit well, start the season strongly and remain consistent then we have no excuse to not finish in the top 6.

Based on what?
Recruitment hasn't even started, there could be two or 3 clubs go on a spending spree.
We might sell but not recruit.

Far too early for these sort of statements.

Well considering we're apparently targeting play offs 3 of the 5 years then its 3 of the next 4 so I'd suggest yes, not hitting the Top 6 isnt on

 

[ccfcchris]

I'm very excited about next season and can't wait. Haven't felt like this for years and this is before we conclude our transfer business.

Youve bought in to Dougs bollocks, I'm surprised at that.

Think I’ll save my predictions for when I have a basis. Find it a bit sad when people do it this soon.

 

[Tommo1993]

Think we’ll smash the league, no excuses.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Fair play

There’s a CCFC fan who lost his sight in a similar way and also goes to all the games. Shared a coach with him a few times, interesting chap

 

[skyblueelephant76]

£73m due by the end of June, the rest over the next couple of years.

2 of the next 3. We got to the playoffs in Kings first season.

Yeh Leeds will still be strong next year. They still have a big whack of parachute payments. They can sell a few players, get some top loans and still be a force next season. It’s not the big disaster some on social media think it is.

I like your optimism. I tend to look at the 6 teams that are better than us!

Despite our Wembley penalty heartache (s), I’m enjoying our journey. The Torp ‘goal’ is up there with the best moment. Along with GMK.

The 5 year plan started last summer. He himself has said that. Hence the 5 year prem packages. So that means 3 of the next 4 need to be play offs

You got a link for that because Andy Turner says otherwise.

"In my first press conference, I said we need to be in the top half of the table, we need to be in the play-offs three years out of five. This year, let's say, has been a bit of a bonus year if we throw that in, and then I'm hoping he (Robins) gets one of those three out of five through the door."

So he wants 3 of the next 4 seasons to end in Top 6. He needs to back MR again this window

Really depends on how much this is an expectation. If he doesn’t invest and we don’t make it, then he’d better not come after Robins.

if we score goals and don’t concede any we’ll be right up there

No bias at all here, but I hope Sunderland occupy all three last places.

I would also like to ask, which is the most likely to happen out of these three scenarios this coming season...

1. Donald Trump quits politics, joins a monastery and becomes a nun

2. Dogs suddenly attain the ability to speak and are finally able to explain to us all why they wee on the rug for no apparent reason

3. We do the double over Preston

3. Conscription is such a positive policy, Sunak wins the Genny Lec with a huge majority.
4. Aliens
5. Donald Trump

All I have heard on option number 3 so far is "I'm not doing f*ckin national service. They can go f*ck themselves"

If we finish first then there’s no excuse to not win the league.

Of course he’s not. It’s a target/aim/objective. Why people then turn this into something more I don’t know

Also, looking at the teams in the championship this coming season and some of the financial pressures they’ll be under, how far we finished behind in the end and unsurprisingly seeing two of the relegated teams going up, not blowing a load on January loans is looking like a sensible move.

This feels like a season to go for it a bit more…don’t fuck it up City
