….for me - the only way promotion isn’t an acceptable outcome is a 90 point season where you lose in the playoffs.
Similar to what Leeds did last year, and what Sheff U may still do this season.
‘Top 6’ isn’t ambitious enough as a target - we’ve got to be there or thereabouts for automatic promotion.
Does that sound too harsh? I’m sure that’s what the club expectations will be - and betting markets will reflect that |  |

Target has to be win the league given we finished second out of teams in the league next season. That would mark progress, of course deducting Leicester 9 points will help this considerably.
No point aiming for top six, aim for the title.
Big summer ahead, let's see some early midfield beasts in the building please. |
Early midfield beasts you say?

I think we will be top 2. I think most expect top 2. Promotion via the Play-offs is worse case. I know some will be less optimistic, but my glass is very much over flowing. |  |

This summer is critical for building on the legacy of the last three seasons. In each of GC20 and MAs summer windows there has been quite significant player churn. Arguably last summer didn’t quite hit the mark. The summer before and the summer before that almost didn’t work because it took the January windows to get things over the line. This summer has to be different, cash shouldn’t be a prohibitive factor if targeting right players ie championship players committed to getting us back up to PL asap.
It’s not really a finger pointing matter, our progress has required rapid squad change each season, but it will be another summer of change and we really have to be in a good place by week 1 of the new season! |  |

We’ll know when his time is up. It’s very rare you see someone so measured and calm in pressers after loads of defeats. Saturday was as annoyed as I’ve seen him, and he was hardly ranting or raving. He’s totally in control of his emotions with emotional intelligence that’s off the charts. Compare him to say someone like Russell Martin, where you could see the cracks widen under pressure and watch him unravel.
As soon as he starts being erratic in pressers and showing those sorts of cracks, or just loses that optimistic side, we’ll know it’s getting beyond him and it’ll be time to part ways. |
Spot on. Great analysis. He has always exuded the calm authority of someone who knows what he wants and how to get there.
nothing this season will have surprised him. He will have learnt things but I also think he'll feel we competed n many games which is an achievement with the gulf now. We need everything to work out perfectly in January onwards and it didn't. But we mustn't forget the praise we got from so many for many performances this season.
Remember Slot at the start of the season? He said we went man for man and were brave. He was admiring of it.
KM is the man. |  | | |

Much depends obviously on who stays and who we recruit, but if we end up with a front line of Hirst +1 CF, Szmods, J Clarke, Hutch, Jaden and Broady you'd have to think that would be pretty devastating for the Champ. And with the right recruitment behind it in MF, you'd be disappointed if we didn't end up Top 2. I don't get the negativity creeping in already re next season - some people clearly (perversely) enjoy it. | | | |

Sheffield United has reached 90 points this season (92 points before the deduction). They earned 16 points in the Premier League during the 2023/24 season and conceded 104 goals.
Burnley achieved 100 points and had a comparable season in the Premier League to us, finishing with 24 points and conceding 78 goals. We’ll be fine.
The intensity, technical ability, and elite-level sh*thousery just aren’t there in the Championship—there is quite a bit of mid-level chod which we should be able to dispatch.
As for Luton Town…. |  | | |
