If we go up this season 17th would absolutely be our aim in our first season back, it would be an incredible achievement too if we managed it.

Do you think we’d have got 32 more points?
Of course. I meant long term really.If we go up this season 17th would absolutely be our aim in our first season back, it would be an incredible achievement too if we managed it.
What is our realistic ambition/achievable position?
Obviously we don't want to to back to aiming for 17th every season, fire and hire, repeat until look runs out.
With the money in that division now - what would people expect? Mid table at best each year?
Didn’t know you won anything for too 4 in the championship.wouldnt have needed 32 more to get top 4 would we
Didn’t know you won anything for too 4 in the championship.
New one to me that
With us at full strength, Burnley are in no way better than us. As good as but not much better.Burnley finished about 30 points above us ffs.
They’re a much better side than us.
I know we’ve had injuries but come on man be serious.
Complete delusion on here at times like.
People harping on about being better than half the prem when we aren’t even in it.
No wonder a lot of people think we are arrogant as fuck
Never get this argument being a top 5 or winning enough in the championship leads you to the prem anywayWhat would you enjoy more out of taking a pasting two games in three or being top 5 championship team? I mean, I thinkw e have to go with momentum wherever we can and this season has been great to watch but we could easily lose the talent that made it so great.
But actually think I'll problies enjoy being back in the prem less, particularly if the mags give us a pasting

Funny isn’t it, I’d love for us to go up but when you really think about it it’s likely to just be miserable again just as things have been looking up.What would you enjoy more out of taking a pasting two games in three or being top 5 championship team?

We have put limitations when the owners have said from the beginning that they will not pump money in. We are no different other than crowd size, which these days does not give any significant advantage.but we can out grow them. The likes of Burnley and Co have done really well but they have their limitations. They were only better than us because they had just come down whereas we come down 5 years ago.
Even Fulham who have had a good season we as good as matched them twice.
This. We'd continue what we're doing. We'd be able to accelerate it a bit and get better youngsters, but we wouldn't overspend for experience. Go up, do what we're doing, see how a young, technically proficient side can do. If we go down then we either sell some for a decent fee or we keep them for an immediate attempt at coming back whilst counting the £70m or so we got for the season and the parachute payments still to comeI reckon our primary aim would continue to be buying young players and improving them, and the finishing position would take a backseat. It's the only way to long term end up like Brighton are now.
We certainly wouldn't be panic buying our way to 17th with "PL experience'.
