Is Europe a Shout Next Season

[Lobworm]

If he did with Burnlehh, he can do it with us. With no points being deducted, Dom finding his shooting boots, a bit of guile in midfield and a bit of pace elsewhere, plus no more 4769487 day winless streaks for the cry arses to keep going on about, we've defo got a chance!

I would probably accept 10th-14th for 24/25, right now.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Get ourselves some decent forwards and I believe Europe would be a possibility. It’s not like such a turnaround hasn’t happened before. Newcastle and Villa have both done it very recently, and we did it with Moyes not so long ago.

They both spent a LOT of money - we just cannot

 

[Bilko]

No, probably another deduction or two to contend with as well

Why does everyone feel we're getting another one next year, I genuinely don't understand.
Are we breaking the rules again ?

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Not a chance

Next season is all about securing our Premier League status once again and looking to win as many of the major final Goodison games as possible

If we end up on 45-50 points with wins over United and Liverpool at Goodison, then it's been a good season

 

[b-rad]

No, and given the state our squad will be in, I would hate for us to have to try and manage European fixtures too.

Probably. We are losing stacks of money every year. We'll probably need more than one big sale to not breach again.

 

[Brigadier2]

Replace branthwaite and tarkowski for holgate and Keane and down we go.

 

[allen]

That’s huge imo. I would take 2/3 points than this season

Without the points deduction, we'd be on 44 points. Add your '2/3 points' to that and we're in 11th.

So if what I'm saying is huge, what you're saying is also huge.

A marvellous up turn in form since the humiliation at Chelsea, if Dyche can get “his” players, and bypass the DoF who has wasted tens of millions, is it a possibility???

Could the gaffer lead us back to a nice European tour in the same year we take residence in our new home

Let's get things in order here, we need rich correct sensible owners - before we look at where the team is going -

 

[HKContractDave]

A big fat no

 

[tsubaki]

Until the geopolitical situation calms down we have no business being anywhere near the top of the league.

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

The headwinds of lack of money, ownership issues, recruitment challenges, etc, etc, etc, will make it very difficult.

I'd be over the moon with even being close to a top half finish next season.

 

[cjuk87]

Baby steps. It's that simple. We need to overhaul the squad, bring in the right replacements and steadily build. Not become delusional and suddenly expect prime Brazil and a top 7 finish.

I'm tired of repeating it, most of it is squarely on the players shoulders. We can point the finger at Dyche, the board, DOF, PL. But if those players turn up, we'll progress, if they down tools again, we won't. They continue to get away with it and now they've set the bar. So they should never be dropping this form.

Seeing 3 or 4 of them diving in to block a shot against Liverpool was honestly one of the best moments of the night for me. It showed me they're fighting again. I've seen them give up far too much over the years.

Massively disappointed with the lack of faith in the gaffer

 

[lieneverton]

Replace branthwaite and tarkowski for holgate and Keane and down we go.

Keanes a striker now so more likely he replaces DCL imo.
