Start of the season idve been more than happy with 10 points above relegation.
How things are progressing this season now 8th/9th/10th would be respectable.
Qualifying for Euro would be too much to soon I think.
Maybe this will be the pattern going forward:
18/19 - New owners, new management - Villa get promoted ahead of schedule and left with a very thin squad.
19/20 - Villa struggle in the premier and barely survive. Defeat to Man City in the league cup final causes pundits to reflect on state of football
20/21 - Massive improvement and qualify for Europe ahead of schedule
21/22 - Rigours of Europe take their toll and Villa go backwards in the league. Average run to last 32 of Europa causes pundits to reflect on state of football.
