It was failure in the season just gone and the one before, so yes. |  |

I would have thought the objective would be promotion. Play offs at a bare minimum. |  |

Actually for me I'd be satisfied with a dramatic improvement in the tempo and will to win. Plus the sense the team are having a real go. If we miss out but play like that throughout the season it's OK. I think no promotion by year 2 proper of new era is genuine failure. But you go ahead and make your assumptions its all good.  | |

Yes.
We’ve got the finance, the manager with experience of promotion from this division and an overhaul. There’s no room for excuses if we’re not promoted in May. |  |

That's because it's not your money being spent.
If it was your money I suspect you'd see anything except promotion as a failure.

But I wasn't asking Gamechanger. I was asking the messageboard. Unless you've got a few million in the game Stokie? | |

"Is anything short of promotion...
... failure next season?
You were asking in the general case, there is no context in there that you have now decided to add.
So my post was fine, you are just skipping around because my answer doesn't agree with your answer which comes from the realms of fantasy and is devoid of context. If we are spending what is claimed then how can not getting promoted been seen as anything other than a failure?

I just want to enjoy my football again. There are bigger things in the world to get stressed or angry about. |  | | |

Pretty much - unless it’s something ridiculous like getting 85 points and missing out in the play offs |  |

85 would have only been enough to get automatic promotion twice in the last ten seasons (three times if you include Rotherham’s PPG figure last year) so not sure if getting to that mark and only being the play offs would be seen as an unlucky. 90 might be a better benchmark. | |

The last two seasons I’ve been targeting automatic promotion, but with the amount of churn we’re going to see this summer, I will set a target of top 6.
The overhaul is needed but it will take time to gel. Probably too much time for us to bag a top 2 spot. |  | | |

An excellent response.
If you want precise answers you should pose precise questions. Everything I've said is correct.

Could see a season like Blackpool’s - a sticky start and then something clicks.
Just looking at the first third of Cook’s regimes at Portsmouth and Wigan after his summer overhaul with both...
Portsmouth - P15 W7 D7 L1 F22 A12 PTS28
An excellent start for Portsmouth, with a record which would have gained them automatic promotion had it continued. Unfortunately, whilst only losing ten (better than 3rd place Bristol Rovers, they drew 15 which was more than any side in the top nine, resulting in a sixth place finish and defeat in the play offs. Bearing in mind Pompey finished 16th the year before, though, and would go up as champions the following year.
Wigan Athletic - P15 W11 D2 L2 F29 A9 PTS35
A much stronger start for Wigan than he had with Portsmouth and whilst, quite understandably, he couldn’t quite maintain that form across that season Wigan were promoted with ease, finishing on 98 points, eleven clear of third.
To put it bluntly, despite the amount of churn and change Cook certainly doesn’t do slow starts. Unlike us over the first two seasons his sides do not tend to tail off quite so dramatically either. | |

It's a failure every season we are here. Every game at this level is a failure for a club like ours. Should never have happened let alone been clapped and cheered on. |  |

I'll take play offs right now, we're one of ten sides who will be hopeful next season, we'll need to build a Championship side to really stand out, a tough ask from where we are right now..
We live in hope... |  | | |

<20 goals for Norwood would be a massive. Massive personal failure for him. |  | | |
