What are your expectations for next season?

[Sly]

Potential points deduction.

 

Weaker squad on paper currently than what went down.

 

Questionable mental strength.

 

Potentially need to add 6 - 9 players, depending upon your opinions.

 

Shoe stringer budget to to finance restrictions. 
 

Might need to sell players to comply with those finance restrictions. 

 

How do you think we’ll do? 

 

[TheGoldenGod]

Expectation unfortunately with a points deduction is relegation but the hope cant' be anything more than survival realistically. Would snap your hand off for 17th right now!

[David Hankey]

Well, I certainly hope we can avoid relegation as the last thing we want is to become a yo-yo Club.

 

The optimism in me thinks we should aim for the 10-17th position and hopefully do better.

[Happy Fox]

16-17th position, do think we will be better than the likes of Ipswich, Bournemouth, Brentford and the playoff finalist winner from the championship whoever that is.

[An Away Move]

I think we have enough Premier League DNA left to survive. We only have to better then those who come up with us and be better then one existing Premier League team. We have enough and in Enzo I trust.

If you're implying we'll get a top 4 finish, I'm so down with that.

[Fox92]

Survival.

[foxfanazer]

I'd take 17th right now. Show some character and backbone that we've lacked in recent years. And then build on it the following year 

[Bert]

First season back up, we just need to be better than 3 teams, maybe 4 over the course of 38 games.

This exactly. Survive long enough to push through the points deduction, and try to rebuild the back room (science and scouting) teams that were so underappreciated by Brendan…

[suffolk fox]

We are looking at a points deduction, potentially having a weaker squad especially if we have to sell KDH.  Snap your hands off for 17th place.

[Leicester_Loyal]

No doubt I'll be moaning at most points next season but regardless of how we manage it, just finishing 17th has to be the aim, get the finances under control and improve the team slightly.

[Ted Maul]

Think we'll surprise a few early doors but lack of squad depth will wear us down and ultimately the points deduction will likely be too much of an obstacle. Will be a far stronger league than this season, too.

[Daggers]

Anything is possible with a lucky monk because he ca…

 

Oh. 
 

Shit. 
 

 

[Patrick]

Relegation. Starting the season with a points deduction, Rudkin in charge of transfers and contracts and a tactically inflexible manager doesn't seem to be a recipe for survival to me.

[foxfanazer]

I don't fear relegation like last time. That was difficult as it properly felt like the end of that particular chapter for the club. Under the circumstances I think we'll struggle but the championship isn't all that bad (only for a season at a time)

Expectation: Closely relegated or closely stay up

Hope: 12th-17th

 

But it's all largely irrelevant right now since there's so many unknowns:

• What's the deduction? 
• What's our ins and outs over the window? 
• Who comes up with us and Ipswich? 
• What do the other promoted and bottom 6 teams do in their windows? 

[Muzzy_no7]

If the points deduction is what it should be, same as Forests then we should be fine. 
 

Brentford will be in the mire without Toney.

 

Forest, Everton, Ipswich will be down there.

 

Fulham and Wolves look lost.

 

If Bournemouth lose Iraola they will fall off a cliff.

[FoyleFox]

I'm going for bottom at Christmas,  late escape and league win the following season 

 

If we don't think that's on, I think we could finish 15/16th.

[STEVIE B]

If we survive with a points deduction, Maresca wins Manager of the season.

 

[turlo]

15-17th, although a points deduction and limited activity in the transfer window could see us in deep shit. 

[sylofox]

I'd take 17th on goal difference right now.

 

Tbh right now that's all we can hope for. Put another one up once we know the pts deduction and the transfer window closes I may feel different.

That ship sailed long ago.
