We have a squad this season that is a bit better than the one last season, and a manager that is better the two we had in the previous 3 seasons getting us back on a bit friendlier level. Certainly feels like a relief in some way. Still it will be a long way back to glory, to a level of where this club belong, and this might be best outside of big 6-7, teams like West Ham, Newcastle and Aston Villa that I see a similar size on full potential.
We'll rather lose quality than have added to the existing, a few players with unclear contract situation, some of them will go and need to be replaced to have at least the same depth, a few players needed to be sold due to financial reasons and not money to throw around to keep all key-players, get rid of deadwood and get better players in for them.
We will also not be a team playing top-tier football, rather it's patchwork, based on good defending and high intensity.
I think we will have a bottom mid-table season again, hopefully with not too many outside turmoils and sorrows. You can call me crazy, but seeing Everton going Europe isn't realistic until a few seasons in BMD. The ambition must be there, but now it's also about humility and realism to get out this years of self-egoism, complacency.
