    With the season about to begin. What are your expectations?
    I would love us to win the treble but would give that up for a good account of ourselves in the new CL format. So a double and a good CL run.

    Depends on the rest of the transfer window.

    As the first team stands now (other than losing O'Riley, which seems inevitable), I'll accept just the league. Hopefully, we get a few key positions sorted out, especially Idah in, a LB and a LCB as a minimum. If we do that, then maybe a double and ideally a win or two in the CL.

    As it stands, we're getting absolutely destroyed in the CL.

    But I'm the same, I'd take a proper showing in the CL and the title.

    But my expectation is the treble. There's zero reason we shouldn't be winning it at a canter every season.

    Rodgers back to his treble winning ways, and if we bring in a new left back and left centre back who are upgrades on the position along with a striker the profile of idah i think we’ll have a good CL campaign

    Every season, I don't know; but this season, I'd say the fact that we're not a very good team is a good reason. Did you see much of a gap between us and the Huns last season? I didn't.

    Expectations very different from aspiration or hope, or what we should/could be delivering.

    As of today, my expectations are that basically we stay the same as last season.
    Are generally outclassed in Europe with maybe one or 2 good performances.
    Stay a baw hair ahead of Rangers, win league
    Make a bunch of cash.
    Have the occasional sack the board banner.
    Repeat.

    August 31st is the date to ask. If we get Idah done this week then I will feel marginally better.

    We should absolutely stroll the league and bar for bad luck or dodgy referees, win the treble. Europe we have the financial muscle to improve but that looks far from certain so far.

    Why? We're going to play 2 teams that are pot 4. We never get to play teams that are at our level. So yes we will get beat by 4 teams in pot 1 and 2 but the other 4 games are usual europa league level we never get to play so have a great chance imo

    Minimum league title and one of the cups to guarantee overtaken oldco and sevco in the trophy haul.

    Treble would be amazing.

    Any progress in Europe would be a bonus.

    Will be able to give a better answer at the end of the transfer window, see how well equipped we will be for the challenges ahead.

    As things currently stand with the squad.

    win the league with a few blips along the way and get destroyed in the champions league.

    Cup really depends on when the games land if we are in a little blip like last season.

    Treble...pushing away from everyone here and showing it.

    Half decent run in Europe...Not to make an embarrassment of ourselves with a -21 goal tally etc....

    Wish I had your optimism mate.

    Can I ask with how the squad sits where do you get the optimism?
