    Now that we can't qualify for the Champions League, but look like we're highly likely to qualify for the Europa League, along with being favourites for every domestic honour, what are our minimum expectations?

    Thinking we should win the league is a given. I think most accept that we should be challenging for both cups too, winning at least one of them. So that really leaves Europe. Would football after Christmas be a realistic enough goal, or even an achievable one?

    So you wouldn’t care about AIK putting us out? However unlikely that seems.

    If it brings 9 in a row no, I’ve already said on here I would give up Europe this season to secure history.

    Missing European money weakens us, weakens ability to sign players, makes our board sell another player next season and majorly puts 10 at risk.

    They already missed the big one this year and sold KT, so give me the league and go again next year. Mind you some * said we don’t budget for Europe, I can’t remember who now. :87:

    We budget for Europa league minimum. Lawell even said that. Europa leagues still worth decent cash because of the silly bt sports deal. Miss out on this and they make it, then 10s at major risk.

    The board do that even when we have money so that’s a pretty silly statement with the amount of money we’ve made the last 3 years or so

    Well I remember Lawwell stating that we don’t budget for Europe and are self sustaining, that may have been before him and his cronies wage rise including bonuses. There’s only one team putting the ten at risk and it’s us through our boards sheer lack of leadership and short sightedness.

    Minimum exception? Personally I'd prefer to look at the maximum we could achieve. We should be ambitious.

    This.

    I’m not arsed about trebles. Even the League, a domestic cup and Europe after Christmas is a big ask but I’d be ecstatic.

    Media will have a field day when we finally lose a cup but who gives a *, we’ve already made history and it has to come to an end eventually.
