Again I'd be surprised if they were pissed off. These are successful businesmen and owners of sports clubs. I think they'd be well prepared to deal with dips on a long term journey. In fact, I'd be surprised if Dean didn't get a contract extension in the summer or beginning of next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grobs Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I’m sure we will spend another 100 mill plus. Based on that I think we should be top 8. But with dean still in charge I fully expect to finish 11-14th 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I hope we avoid relegation and are comfortable the whole season again. I really enjoyed this season, the way we played and the results. I hope for more of the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill try again: Why do you think that a manager that has significantly improved our leave position every season he has been here, is now going to make us go backwards? Kienan Davis starting upfront for 20 games in a row if Ollie does his ACL on 2nd September? Obviously would not wish that on Ollie but it's an example of losing an essential starter and then results dipping very quickly. Happened in previous two seasons with Jack and McGinn and Heaton in 19/20 so no reason it won't happen to someone else next season as much as I don't want it. I would imagine we will get in a better backup striker than Davis but we haven't been in a huge rush to do last two years and plenty on here think Wesley back is enough already.

John Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) My target for this season was for us to finish top of the bottom six and we have done better than that. It seems that we will finish top of the bottom half instead and as the top West Midlands club, that is good progress. Our great start to the season and some terrific performances such as the ones against Liverpool and Arsenal, had us thinking that Europe could be on. Sadly the covid breakout at the club, Jack's injury and a run of poor performances put paid to such high hopes. Ultimately we could not even make a top half finish, but where we now are, it is still significant progress, on where we had been at this time last season. Our task for next season is to put our current lengthy run of poor results behind us and not to let it have any impact on the start to next season. The owners will provide the cash for us to freshen the team up with around three top quality players and our aim for next season should be in my opinion be top half (10th-8th). Anything better than that would, along with a cup run or two, represent a bonus. That said, I would really love it if we could win a cup or get into Europe again...

Our improvements have been marginal compared to the money we’ve spent The money we've spent is largely irrelevant unfortunately, our squad still isn't relatively speaking in terms of the PL an expensive one Our improvements haven't been marginal they've been substantial As for being happy mid table... For me I'd now take marginal improvements, made with my own eyes rather than necessarily the table or stats, the midfield has to improve, so does the attacking play and play without jack I personally think we need to put ourselves in to a position where we can launch ourselves up the table following the integration of the young players that we have coming through, that probably means 2 years aiming for top 10 flirting with EL, Barry, chuk et Al hit 20 and we can start making good progress up the table, give ourselves a good stable launch pad The obvious flaw with that idea is Jack grealish hanging around to see it happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
