Agree with 'Bubby' on this, next season we are still in transition and possibly the following one also,
Let's remind ourselves where we have come from, a 7th place finish in season '12/13' to 2nd last season was truly remarkable,
With the smallest squad to, granted we only had 3 comps latterly 1,
Next season I'll be happy sustaining a CL spot with another assault on the title , for me that is progression, if we have a good cup run or dare I say win one then even better,
our bread & butter remains the league title always will, and yes CL has become a must but they both come hand in hand,
A full on assault on the league should in itself take care of that elusive CL berth,
Next season ' We Go Again', Brendan will love the challenge of having CL, he will want to test himself against Europes best managers, and I think with the success & progression he has brought so far FSG will give him the platform to have a go and I mean a proper go in Europe, and even if we are in a tough group initially then fine , when have we ever feared anyone in Europe ?
To be the best you have to beat the best , and if that happens in the group stage or the final what does it matter,
No one expected us to finish 2nd or even challenge for the EPL last season, so why can't we be the same dark horses in next seasons CL,
Whoever else is bought this summer they will be brought in to fit in , I believe Brendan has made this clear to FSG and prior to signing his contract, next season will mark the 5th FSG has been at the wheel , we are 1 year ahead of schedule so yes we are still in transition, but what a foundation we now have ,
The future is looking very very good IMO and will only get better , success , progression it's happening before our very eyes , the silverware is imminent , 19, 20, 21, 6, 7 , 8, not lotto numbers, they are title & CL figures I believe are possible under Brendan Rodgers , we have a history of the improbable,
Sir Bob brought home 3 Eropean cups & plenty more, remember that wee miracle we had at the Ataturk....
BELIEVE !!
