What do you expect from Frank ? (Choose up to 2)

So we have Frank and Co. and Levy did announce that we've spent quite a bit so far. Danzo has been confirmed and likely Tel too. Whoever comes in, Frank needs to get used to challenging on multiple fronts and dealing with competition at the highest level (Champions League). And he has very little time to embed his philosophy and get to know his players with the Super Club cup and overseas tours - so there's a lot of work to do ahead.
 
It is a great question. He needs time and patience, however I think we should absolutely push for CL qualification. There again, if we won another trophy and qualified for Europa, that would be a great first season.
 
I think we really should be pushing for top 6 and above. I realise that we will be adapting to Frank’s tactics and he will be building his squad, so anything in top 8 would be minimum. Top 6 would be good, anything above would be excellent. And to qualify for Europa League either through winning a Cup or league place.

I am looking forward to seeing what he can do. I think he’s a better choice of manager than Ange was when appointed. I was always confident that we would appoint a a manager with Premier League experience as to not do so would be to be taking too big a risk following it being decided that Ange didn’t work out.
 
5th or 6th and all a bit boring wouldn't be too bad at all as it would mean a decent record at home. But I think the players will want to do well in all competitions. Certainly a CL quarter final would be great or a FA Cup semi or Final - why not?
 
All about setting the foundations for Frank. That’s the most important thing. Make sure the squad has a good place to push on from. That being said qualifying for the Europa league should be the aim in the league. Do I think we can do better than that, yes. But setting it up for future success is probably more important.
 
The Champions league places were there for the taking last season and we just so happened to have our worse season in history. You would assume next season everyone would step up a level. If we had Frank in charge last season i think we would have finished top 4. This year i see us finishing top 6.
 
Our squad at the moment is top 8. A couple of good additions could make it top 5/6.

My main expectation (or hope at least) is that we look like a functioning team again. One which can defend with competence whilst carrying an attacking threat. It's been a while since we had both.
 
Reality is we were absolutely awful last year. If we can swing a top ten then I would be pleased.

The cups are a lottery. We have to rely on draws going our way. But do fancy a bit of domestic glory fairly soon as it is much more important to me than Europe.
 
I still cling on to the philosophy of the game is about glory. So our target should always be to win a domestic or European trophy and finish as high up the league as realistically possible.
The cups are realistic possible for every team in the Prem, whilst winning the league requires time and investment. But we need the club to start having that winners mentality every season.
So I'm not too worried about having to qualify for the champions league consistently at this stage, as long as we target winning something again and long the way keep building the squad.
