Of course sport is unpredictable...I was saying in November 2015 that Leicester were in with a real shot at the title and received a lecture from one of your mob on how illogical I was being. I think he was a Vulcan...and a stupid **** to boot. This season, I predicted that we and particularly Nuno, would have a tough season. Some things may not be certain but the can be significantly more likely than not.
I'm not predicting a title challenge next season. I doubt that Conte would put his own money on that. I'm expecting Conte to significantly reduce the gap between us and Liverpool and City and hope that it might just put us in the mix to challenge this season or next. The cups may depend on how deep our squad is filled with quality options or a bit of luck or doggedness at the right time.
Hopefully, the additional £150m means that we're on the way to having enough quality players to compete on all fronts. With Paratici and Conte working on the incomings, I have faith that next season, barring a real injury crisis, we'll have enough to improve on this season significantly.
It's hard for supporters of other clubs to truly appreciate how bad we were until Conte arrived and shook the club and team up...and how the changes, that he implemented. have altered us. Some added quality in 3 or 4 positions and better rotation and competition for places will be likely to see another significant improvement.
