Expectations For The Future

[madirishvillain]

after 3 years of finishing 6th under MON and not being happy

what are we expecting next year under GH?

would 6th next year be great? 

or what has been the point?

[olaftab]

4th.

[damon loves JT]

Now is the time to be bold and appoint John Galliano as Villa manager.

[VillaAlways]

4th.

this

[TheSandman]

I think we should reasonably expect to get up to the level we attained before with regular European competition at the least.

Maybe with time there is potential to finally break the champions league glass ceiling we kept hitting under MoN. 

[olaftab]

 A very fashionable suggestion Damon but he may not feel comfortable with the racial diversity in our club!

If you're going to start a new thread each evening, please make it something with a relevant title.

Yes but the kit would be deliciously avant-garde. Yves St Laurent will snap him up if we don't move now

i wouldnt have used that

[Dave]

Feel free to change it to something you'd prefer then.

As long as it gives people a bit more of a clue to it's contents rather than just what you've been doing with your Saturday night.

[madirishvillain]

ok dave?

I'd be happy if we could achieve what we did under MON but in a more sustainable fashion. Thereby not losing £30ish million each season. Hopefully this will also mean more home grown players and a better style of football.

To answer your question, what was the point? In my opinion we could not have sustained our 6th places without either going bust or more funding from Randy, so arguably "the point" was to safeguard our future.

so relegation battles is our future then?

from what i have seen in the media and on the net

our 6th place finishes have bust us for quite a while


back to the normal for us then

[Dave Cooper please]

No expectations really, we're effectively starting from scratch, so let's just have good football, an improvement on where we finish this season and hopefully a trophy.
The good thing is that this season has proved that the top four is there to be cracked if any team can find some consistency, and I see no reason why it couldn't be us given some luck and another decent transfer window.

What's the normal for us?

Since Sky invented football in 1992, we've finished in the top six in 9 of the 18 seasons. In 13 of those seasons, we've finished 8th or higher.

It's bewildering to see Villa fans moaning about the way the media talk us down when we're so good at doing it ourselves.
