No He said top 6 would be good for play offs this year, also there was not a rush but ultimately they want to achieve reaching the premiership.
I think people are getting a little carried away. Still no defensive midfielder and I don’t think any of our new signings are even 6’ tall? Not sure about Ohio.
And i never mentioned about staying in the championship did i, i said he could be more old school and motivated by succeeding more than the money.
Haha this is hard work.... succeeding is getting to the prem anything less isn't, if he isn't getting that then he's not going to be happy is he and if he isn't getting it, how happy is he going to be to continuously pump millions in? Is he going to stick with LR long term just because he's a genuinely nice guy who played for us and has love for the club and area.... In fantasy land that's all good. But in the real world a businessman isn't going to let that stand in his way. No matter who our manager was/is right now, where we currently sit and the backing in the Jan window, anything less then a playoff place is a poor finish to the season
I agree anything else other than a play off is not good but it does not take away the fact Acun said not getting promotion this year won't change anything obviously now he hopes we go up like we all do but LR won't be going anywhere if we don't do it and Acun hoped for top 6 this year so to him in a way it will be succeeding this year if he reaches his goal. Just for the record i think if we make the play offs we will win them 3 on the bounce.
This bit "Even if he's not, and even if it's the worst, he will still come in and be a part of this because that's the way that things are here and the way that we value people when he wants to be around it too." Without getting too ‘management speak’ bollocksy that does a few really important things. 1. Treats Delap in a really positive way, which is vitally important if we hope to either get him for another loan period or even permanent, by showing him how important and valued he is. People like that whether they realise it or not. 2. Shows the rest of our players, subconsciously or otherwise) how you’ll be treated if you act the right way at the club (assuming he has…certainly it sounds like he has) 3. Shows other team’s players how they would be treated here, thus encouraging them to want to come here. 4. Regardless of whether Man City taking him back was an option or not, it must raise his spirits and make him feel part of the club at a time that we may find out he could in fact play a game or two for us this season. Far better now than waiting until we know because it would mean less then. 5. Reminds (or tries to convince if you’re cynical) the fans that this is a family club that looks after their own…not just a ‘business’ 6. …err…gives the physios even more experience **** me. I’m drinking vodka martinis at the moment. No idea if that makes sense…I’ll check tomorrow
