Now that Fulham's season has ended, what should we be aiming for next season?

After saying the riverside is all explicilty part of helping fund squad aquisition he continues:
'We're generating that revenue and we can invest in the squad and the next step is for us to be challenging for Europe... you have to be ambitious or go home"

I've  heard this and similar from him before and i know you swallow it hook, line and sinker. But there are words and there are sensible management decisions  to make it so. The arithmetic doesn't  really add up, the cost of the new stand swamps the revenue for so long, so it's  not sustainable.

If we were aiming for europe, we would have purchased a midfield and central defence up to the job.

It's  very much paper talk...we will hear loads like this as season ticket sales open.

You really need to be able to read between lines. I do believe he wants sustainability, but when will that actually happen, but we do not have a management team capable of moving us on. What we have is Marco, the latest demoralised manager in the long line, who is a genius.

That is my opion because it based on the evidence of my eyes and what i see day to day.

That my opinion based on 60 plus years of having a season ticket, seen good and very bad, i know what day of the week it is.

After the disaster in the champions league this evening... could be the only top four get into it and means 8th might not be enough for Europe.

The cost of the stand doesn't get offset against the revenue it generates. The income does go towards the player purchases but the cost of the stand is down to SK.

And as for pushing for Europe, may if the genius that is Marco had fielded better teams in the last two games we could be confident that Europe was a real possibility.

No, 8th will still secure a Euro spot and it's still even possible (unlikely but possible) that 9th will.

@jayffc let's have a wager.

I'll wager that firstly, if we sign Chukuweze and Pepe, we won't get both done in time for the start of pre-season, secondly we won't have a net spend over say £70m, and thirdly we won't sign more than two players for >£20m each.

Something to spice up your sunmer thread and if I'm wrong we'll have the silver lining of a very promising 26/27.

Well

There's one by the looks of it 🤷

Been a busy couple days so hadn't got to this. Wasn't saying anything would be guaranteed anyway to be betting about such things? it's football, who knows what the club decides to do for sure, was just saying what I felt we could and should do ideally based off of current reports. Was just saying what I felt my personal list of possibilities/desires was and why I felt it doable

Seemingly in the case of pepi those reports were accurate that we were indeed looking likely to tie it up before end of the season. So good news there. Wether we go for chuk well have to see, his forms understandably fallen off a little of late, as have most players. Hope he refinds the spark and we therefore trigger that clause

3 home games in the next 2 months,
It will certainly seems like the season has ended and started again.
Why is the season finishing so late especially with the world cup in the summer. Cricket starts soon 😊
