Expectations for 25/26

what are you expectations for 25/26 season

  • Total voters

People are saying the top 4 are a class above us, so 5th is the best we are likely to achieve, by beating the likes of MNU, NEW, AST and any other curveballs that have a good season.
After 3 games we have 6 pts, MNU have 4, NEW have 2 and AST have 1pt from 2 games. That's pretty good news. (And note that MNU lost on pens to Grimsby and needed a last minute penalty at home to Burnley, to get a win).

all bets are off now, without Levy's leadership I reckon we could easily spiral into chaos

Or we could push forwards, break our wage structure and attract higher tier players to the club. This. Old utilise the high income into the club, building on the infrastructure masterfully built by Levy and use it to really take us to the next level.

A time of so much potential.

Break our wage structure when the other clubs are trying to lower theirs?

Yes as we have the space and finances to be able to do that. I think some clubs were spending 50%+ of their turnover on wages whilst we were only spending 30%. I think those figures are accurate from memory at 4am.

42% which is low. But uefa rules are 70% of turnover for wages + amortisation + agents fees.
The problem with wages is if you pay a player high wages and they don't work out. You can't sell them on. Man utd a great example.
The other clubs and us are now trying to buy younger players on lower wages.
There are exceptions.
 
At the start of the season, I'd have been very happy with a Europa League place and getting out of the CL group stage. So that's what I've voted.

However, having seen Frank's work, I'd be a little disappointed if we didn't kick on and secure top 4. Not "sack the manager" disappointed, just disappointed as I think this squad could do better.
 
We are Tottenham HOTspur.


While most teams' expected goal difference marries up quite closely to their actual one, it is clear that Tottenham are by far the hottest side in the league in terms of form.

Not only have they been the most ruthless side in front of goal by scoring five more goals than expected given the chances they have had, at the other end goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has had to be at the top of his game, preventing more goals than any other keeper in the league (2.9).

While this is obviously great in the short term, Thomas Frank will want to quickly improve his new club's dominance in games as the former manager of stats-savvy Brentford will likely know that significantly overperforming your xG does not last forever.

I'd be quite happy with a EL finish....as if I'm looking at positive progression of this team, I'd reckon we'd smash the EL next season.

this was my main beef with angeball - if we are going to have more emphasis in attack, we needed to be more efficient in scoring more goals and outscoring the competition. pleasantly surprised that we've swung the other way by a fair bit.
