Agreed, in the Prem with a clear-out is all we strictly speaking need from this campaign.

Then we need to get next summer right.

Every summer for the past 25 years this... *sigh*

True enough. I can hear Dean Wormer in my head saying, "A lack of ambition followed by turmoil and mismanagement is no way to go through life, son."

We need a little stability for a change.

10th to 14th finishing around 46 points

We didn't need to sell Bernard and wouldn't have if we didn't get Townsend. There's really no gain or loss there. One bad player sent out another brought in. It didn't move the needle at all.

And yes we should let Gordon get some run. He's not good enough today but neither was DCL at this stage (you'd have us believe he still isn't but we don't really need to check the record on that anymore do we?) so why not give him some time instead of immediately giving up.

FFS! Bring Gordon in?, the lad who couldn't get into the Preston team last season, he will go out on loan hopefully, he like all the U23's are miles off first team at this point

You also forgot Bernard on $120k and Townsend on 70k

Think we’ll be a brutal watch yet again and plod our way to 45 points and a 14th place finish. Haven’t been this pessimistic in a long time. Barring a couple unexpected signings, it could be a long season.

Learning from our mistakes would involve giving Gordon some time and not giving up on him after 10 games. We won't, but that would be how it would work.

It doesn't mean it'll work out for him. But we're firmly at square one and we should be trying to find any possible useful player we can. That's why the Gray thing isn't that bad an idea.

We got 59 points last season, and we haven't improved at all.

With current squad, best case scenario is 50 points which would have us around 11th or 12th.

Hard to be optimistic when we don't have a RB, a CM that can pass the ball, no real high quality wide options and the likelihood that our best player won't be here.
