Top 7 finish, good run in the carling cup and winning the fa cup within the next 3 years. Good runs in europe and attracting some exciting new players to take us to the next level

To be on par with Everton, Spurs and to a degree Arsenal. We can't match Chelsea and ManCity financially and ManUtd and Liverpool (when clicking) are the two true giants of English football.
Liverpool didn't win an FA Cup until 1965 - that, for me, does not a true giant make. Man Utd were nothing until the 1950's. Cash and ambition is what it is all about. Relatively speaking, Villa have been hamstrung in these areas since the mid-twentieth century; if we had enough money to really compete it would make for a different story, surely.

America was nothing until 200 years ago.
