Expectations for 25/26

[metalgear]

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.

Your expectations are to low. Where is win the lot option.

 

[thfcsteff]

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.

 

[El Dante]

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.

 

[Notmegov]

Maybe 5th 6th,7th or 8th no cup wins. All a bit boring.

 

[Bishop]

Top 8 and some decent cup runs for the first season is my target. Get in and around that whilst showing some decent football and a willingness to learn from any issues found and I'll satisfied.

 

[lurker of old]

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?

 

[Gutter Boy]

3rd and maybe an FA cup. I think our squad is great and ready to fly with some decent coaching

 

[Mikey10]

Top 6 and get out of the CL group stage, playing football that is enjoyable to watch, and which gives a feeling of a team growing and moving forward.

 

[Daisuk]

Just better football than last season on a week to week basis. If we do get that then CL or EL will follow.

 

[tw12yid]

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.

 

[Baleforce]

Got to be back in the CL qualification fight in the league.

 

[glasgowspur]

Represent us with dignity, pride and respect, some decent football, a couple of statement wins a European place and a good run in one of the domestic cups.
A platform to build on.

 

[Yiddo]

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.

 

[Spoonman]

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.

 

[monkeybarry]

Win the Super cup, Lge Cup, FA cup, PL and CL.
That'll be fine.
If he doesn't win the Audi cup as well, then we need to have a think about his tenure

 

[johnola]

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.

 

[totalspurs]

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.

 

[Lilbaz]

Depends who we bring in, what other teams do. Think we might win a cup.

Top 5 is a possibility. But think we'd need 2 quality upgrades.

 

[Kandi1977]

I'd be happy with qualification for Europe and progressing into the knock outs in the CL. From the knockouts it's a lottery, so anything can happen. Think we should aim for getting to another final again, possibly the league Cup, as that finishes early. Don't really think we can fight on 3 fronts the entire season.
