Keep Wilf, add a striker and attacking midfielder and I would be happy with a mid table season and hoping for a good cup run. I agree with the general thrust of these comments. That said, I would like a mid-table finish after being relatively safe throughout the season and not such a finish after enduring what we went through this last season !

Just like Ginger said there are too many variables, so at the beginning of the season it was too early to be pessimistic. [its easy to look back though - I wasn’t brave enough to make any predictions - I told my Watford supporting boss that we’d finish above them, but I wasn’t actually that optimistic ]

Watford at home may have been more defining then the Chelsea win even. that was the moment I started to believe. Originally posted by pstrutt

Hmmm. Summer 2017: optimistic because we had Allardyce now and playing well again. What happened: he left, de Boer came in. Toilet. Summer 2016: optimistic because Pardew had been decent before and with a proper summer and a good bollocking could surely get his s*** together. Plus which he had managed to get to an FA Cup Final so he couldn't be that bad, could he? What happened: he contined to manage like an arse. Toilet. Summer 2015: optimistic because Pulis had got us to mid-table and things looked stable. What happened: Pulis f***ed off two days before the start of the season and left us scrambling to get Warnock in. Toilet. Bout time we came back from the Summer and found that we hadn't had some sort of disaster in the close season. Would make a change. Pulis left in August 2014, so had little effect in Summer 2015.

I’m not an expert but it is fairly common practice for companies to extend or miss deadlines such as this. It does raise questions but not ones that businessmen such as our Chairman and Partners aren’t used to. Not that you are but i don’t see anything to worry about. Should we wait until some contracts are ended and others reduced this could play out well for us potentially. Edited by pstrutt (18 May 2018 9.34am) What are the good reasons to be so late?

More time to accrue interest on tax- I do that one over here as I am self employed. Unless of course there are fines and interest going the other way which is possible. As I said I am no expert.

The problem with competing in Europe is that CPFC would need a much bigger pool of talented players. Without that the team can struggle in the Premiership. Still it would be a nice problem to have.

I’ll relax when we can’t get relegated. I still get flashbacks to Oldham.

I think we can push for a Europa league spot next season,no question. Keep our key players and add to the squad is the way to go. COYP
