If we finish 6th everyone else, myself included, is gonna look and say "nothing changed". Fired two managers, hired a new manager, offloaded some junk, bought some talent, played some nice football, still finished 6th.... whoop dee fucking doo. If we play some damn good looking football this coming season, ok that's a change. Good. But then why would we finish 6th again...
This season it has to either be 5th or cracking the top 4. I get that these things take time with bringing in new talent and a new manager, but it's now or never. We played some absolute SHIT football this past season, got thrashed by every big club, fired two managers, bought more junk players than talented players, etc etc. We were a mess but still managed to finish 6th! In front of Manchester United who arguably weren't even as messy as us! If we can still finish 6th in the table even with last seasons circumstances, there's absolutely no excuse for us not being able to finish 5th, 4th, or at least coming scary-close to cracking the top 4.
