Next Season's #1 Priority

[Royal Blue Jersey]

Where's the 'Winning the League' option?

For shame! Apologies to all voters, without that and a Cheese on Toast option I've let them down.

 

[Royal Blue Jersey]

we should be aiming for a 3rd place finish and a trophy

Arsenal , Liverpool, Man U and Spurs to all mess up?!

 

[ianefc]

depends on transfers obviously, its definitely possible

I admire yours and anyone optimism, im a pessimistic at the best of times, but a trophy and 3rd would be amazing

I voted Europa League, as establishing a presence in Europe and a reputation there is important, but in all honesty, any silverware would do. Not totally at the expense of the league, I'd expect 7th as an absolute minimum regardless if we pulled off the treble, but it's so much more important we win things, tangible things, in the short term than it is we try and chase a playoff spot in the Champions League.

I think top will be just out of our reach, however I would love to be wrong. A cup win will do nicely for me, ideally Europa.

I personally voted for the FA Cup - baby steps to ultimate world domination! In all seriousness though, until we get our transfers sorted and get a wee bit more strength in depth, I worry that a good EL run could ultimately hinder our league performances and results.

In this order:

-FA Cup
-Top 4
-Win Europa League
-Cheese on Toast
-League Cup
-Winning the League

Winning the Europa is a step to becoming the best. Best example is Atletico, won the Europa League in 2012 (and super cup) and then became 1 minute away from winning the Champions League this year. I'm not saying that the exact same will happen to Everton but it's a possibility and winning the Europa is the best way to get that from them options.

but the quest for Champions League and silverware can be fulfilled in one fell swoop

Good point this.

To get more points than the other 19 teams in the League.

...I dare say we will want to progress on as many fronts as possible and perhaps prioritise later.

This.

Until we have the incoming loans / signings in place, it's a bit pointless to prioritise.

BUT

Winning the EL would get us a shiny pot and CL qualification - this must make it more important for us than either domestic Cup, by default?

 

[Jayhow15]

Europa is either a ticket to fame and fortune or a bucket load of hurt !

Squad has to be decent on all fronts and ultimately if its not it will be the league form that suffers !

Be nice to lift a European pot though, i think our football is suited to continental comps !

 

[West London Toffee]

may not be glamorous but it would be nice to win the league cup for the first time!

 

[Matthew mcdonnell]

Win EL, great for getting our name out there and we still qualify for CL from it

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

There are far more obstacles domestically than in the Europa. Other than Spurs and perhaps a shock drop out from the CL we could have a real run at this competition. Trophy and CL qualification, without doubt this should be the priority along with another top 7 finish in the league.
