We should stay up - but you never fully know with us. Olise being out is a worry. If I were to guess we'll finish around 14th or perhaps higher.
I'd like a cup run - which might be feasible if we're comfortable enough. I'm expecting maybe two really poor sides but third from bottom will be hard fought. I still wouldn't think us.
There are a couple of issues this season: Chelsea won't be as bad. We're not as good as teams like Spurs - who aren't great in my opinion. West Ham and Everton seem to never go down and there are now five other huge clubs other than Man City. And then some that spend loads - obviously not us. Bottom is getting crowded.
We're in with teams like Wolves perhaps at best, Everton at worst.

Red and Blue Army!

It's not having the same mentality. It's what we've learned to expect. Without backers willing to spend big, its unrealistic to expect more.

I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.

As Roy says, we should be aiming for top 10. On paper our team is good enough.

We have a couple of weak links in the squad but so do all teams. Lets hope we can keep Ghehi and Andersen and perhaps pick up some fullbacks and a striker who knows how to find the onion bag. The players seem to respond to Roy so I'm confident of a good season.

I expect we'll finish between 9th-13th, 50ish points and as usual, nowhere near relegation. With some luck, we can hopefully have a run in either of the cups. I've no idea why we don't go out for the League Cup - we're exactly the sort of mid table prem team who should target this as a realistic chance of winning major silverware.

The regular pessimistic pre season relegation chat is all rather tiresome, but expected, on here.
