VillaChris Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Simply have to be somewhere in top 10 and seriously pushing for europe. We aren't spending all this money and wages to finish 11-14th every season and nor should it be tolerated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're floating round 12th at Christmas and the managers that are on the market, are still on the market, I expect he'll be replaced. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Anything below 10th will be unacceptable, 10th itself wouldn't be great but at least we would be able to say it's a step forward given it will be the first time we will have finished top half in the premier league in twelve seasons. We also must do better in the Cup competions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this time next season we finish 12th, something is not right at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I quite fancy finishing in 0th position. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Small time I know but honestly I am grateful to have semi comfortably survived another season. if we can improve a few places next season I will be delighted. The Championship years traumatized me I am never taking PL survival for granted ever again. Happily the players, manager, CEO and owners all have greater ambitions than mine. Which is as it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted May 25, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 25, 2022 I remember hearing a quote that went something like this: "Football is a funny game. You start at 0-0 and try not to make it worse" (no idea who said it though - or the proper quote!). We start the next season as we do every season: On zero points and in 2nd place. We need to not make it worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishVilla10 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 7th has to and will be the target I think. 8th-10th will only be accepted with a really good cup run. I sent in a stat earlier we’ve dropped 19 points from winning positions, sort that out and we’ll move up the table. We’ve finished 7 points off 8th, I think we’re 2/3 more signings off it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMitch Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Europe or Bust. To be honest, we weren't as far off as the table suggests... We were only 7 points off 8th and barely had any draws. That's turning around 3 results and we would have finished 8th instead of 14th. Hell, we would have finished 7th, if two of those results were the double against West Ham and a draw against someone else... That's how close off Europe we were. Assuming we add Tarkowski and another midfielder, on paper, we have a squad capable of competing with West Ham, Leicester, Wolves, and at least one of Man United, Spurs, & Arsenal will underachieve next season. It's going to be a battle between us and all those teams to see who is the most consistent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other teams spend money too. Realistically, 60+ points is top 6 form. Top 6 is an ambitious target for Villa, considering we just finished 14th on 45 points, 10 points from safety . So yeah 60+ points is ambitious, be it making us top 6 or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
