What are your expectations for next season?

[FoxesWalk]

Relegation is by a distance the most likely outcome as things stand. Sneaky feeling we will avoid it despite a points deduction, which is likely to be at least what Everton got, probably more. Maybe about 8 points? That guesstimate has as much methodology behind it as the PL points deduction decisions to date. 

[Trav Le Bleu]

Vestergaard to beat 3 defenders just outside the penalty box to thunder a shot in the top right corner in the 90 min of the final match, ensuring we only lose 5-1 and secure 17th place on goal difference as news comes in of Spurs losing to Ipswich, consigning them to 18th.

Really, how's that?

[Vlad the Fox]

We'll get a 6 point deducting and finish 5 points behind the champions. We'll then do what leeds do and sing about a trophy we never won for years. 

[Blueman1967]

Just try and stay up

[lcfcbluearmy]

I put 11th - 17th but think we will be closer to 11th than 17th

[FoxOnWheels]

If we can stay up and finish above Forest will be a good season

I know I asked this a while ago, however I was just listening to the @BSLBPod and wondered if anyone’s expectations had changed?

Sadly KDH and Enzo have left, and we dont have a good enough squad.RElegation sadly

[foxfanazer]

It's the most blatant relegation ever isn't it?

[chapero82]

20th

[OntarioFox]

Bite your hand off for 17th right now. To be honest the appalling way we're being run behind-the-scenes has Cooper on a hiding to nothing, so all I really hope for is to be entertained more this season than I have been since we were first subjected to possession-for-the-sake-of-it footy, from Puel through to Enzo. We've had seven years of it now, and with a few rare outliers the only times we've genuinely torn teams apart has been when we abanadoned the stupid philosophy and played a more direct or counter-attacking game, often against the wishes of the manager at the time.

I'm cautiously optimistic that we're going to see some more entertaining football at least, but won't be angry if we don't stay up this time around. Any delusions of us being a "top six club" should have been blasted out of peoples' skulls by now, we've blown any legacy the title win / FA Cup triumph should have propelled us toward, through appalling mismanagement on and off the pitch since 2021.

I think we're down. Zero inspirational signings and the premier League will make an example of us in terms of points deductions. 

 

Best hope is that a marquee player like Fatawu will have a stormer and get bought for £70m + so we can reinvest wisely.

Love LCFC with a passion, we all do, but enjoy the season also. Fir me Enzo, kompany and Forest will be interesting to watch, Liverpool after Klopp etc 😀 

[richardsfoxes]

We're down if they don't pull their fingers out and sign players who are ready to start in the 11. 

[Levi Port]

If we don’t get quality in soon it’s relegation for me and I’m usually wildly optimistic.
 

I was very confident, even after Cooper came in, but the loss of KDH and no quality in the door at all leaves us poorly equipped. 
 

We need something to get all the fans onside early, an ambitious signing, a big early result in the season, just something positive to provide belief.

 

Otherwise I fear it will go flat very quickly this season and that will just rub off on the players. Honeymoon period in the prem is very quick. 

[Silva Fox]

We'll get battered on a regular basis with this squad and relegation is a certainty with or without a points deduction. Not looking forward to it in the slightest.

[FoxesWalk]

My opinion has moved from “maybe scrape by avoiding relegation with a points deduction” to “20th, even without a points deduction” over the last month. We are weaker than we were last season and appear to be showing no ambition whatsoever, even to prepare ourselves for next season in the championship under a transfer embargo, which we now need to do very urgently. We don’t appear to be preparing ourselves for anything other than the next friendly defeat behind a ridiculous paywall.

For a club like us with the clear talent deficit we have (with little sign of that changing anytime soon), we would need a tactical genius as a manager to get us to the dizzy heights of 17th.

 

However good or bad Cooper is, he is no tactical genius.

 

We are up creek de merde sans le paddle.

 

Imao he will do well to get us to 19th.

 

Personally I've given up hope of anything good with our club and its useless board atm. 😒

[Unabomber]

Heart says relegation head says maybe 17th 

[Thefox81]

Im optimistic that we will finish 20th. Without a points deduction 15-20 points. A spanking 5-6 goal defeat first game against Spuds

[winteriscoming]

I would argue we have currently a worse side than we went up with. People say about finding 3 sides worse than us I’m struggling to find 1 side. Hope I’m wrong but it’s gonna be a struggle.
