Play-offs bare minimum Jones will have funds to create a squad and anything less will be a disaster and possibly signal his demise amongst many fans Is it realistic? With the resources he could command I'd say so But say if we just missed the Play-offs and we shown signs of serious improvements, I wouldn't put that down to a disaster. As long as Jones puts his words into actions and we see a change in attitude, I'd be happy with that with and a respectable finish. Good point Staffs: I don't think he should go if that was the case either, just so long as there is some sense of serious improvement with lots of potential

so much depends on what squad we have come the deadline , I think we should improve with a more settled season and would hope to be pushing for the play offs but is we are still carrying too much dead wood it could be another tough campaign . I expect the league to be just as strong . Leeds should get up this time but not sure who else .

- Shorts on right way around - Find the correct dressing room - Shot on target for every game
Or perhaps I'm asking too much?

Promotion only should be our goal

Better football. At least 80 goals. Progress. Players playing on merit. Youngsters getting a chance. Playoffs.

Given the size and value of our playing staff and our wage bill, automatic promotion is a very realistic aim.

The aim of the club should be promotion. My expectations don't go anywhere near that high

Rowett had good players deciding to stay and spent >£40 million but it was a waste of money. Leeds will always struggle to get promoted because the expectation of their fans is so high it puts huge pressure on the club owners and manager and eventually they crack under it.

with the right players in no pissing about we should be up there this league is shit That's the attitude that got us where we are. This league is a different kind of challenge. It is as much to do with fitness and application as it has with talent. It's a slog and if you've got players who aren't up for the fight then you're doomed to fail.

Not let teams like Preston come to the Bet 365 and take the piss like they did this season.

Realistically? Avoid relegation. We should just about be able to do that. That's how it's going to be for several more seasons and as fans we might as well face facts.
The current senior management of the club have no desire to get back to the Premier League, I stand by my long held assertion that they considered it had become too expensive and engineered a drop.

You think they made a plan for us to go down? What a fucking ridiculous comment and the fifty million spent at the start of last season, was that too keep us down? I despair.

Be in the mix around Christmas time, make a rock the city signing in the January transfer window as a serious mark of intent, glide into a automatic promotion spot at Easter and finally promotion as runners up ! It’s as easy as that

To everyone who says promotion... I don't know how many goals, teemu pukki, Billy sharp and tammy Abraham scored last year... But I am going to guess a lot.
To put it mildly, the game is a thousand times more difficult without a goalscorer.
Even, when we were last promoted... Rik got 15 goals and the much maligned Cresser, not a lot less playing left wing, and a good job too, because despite the opinion of the boo boys, we wouldnt have gone up without Cresser's goals
If we sign a goal scorer that changes everything, as anyone who saw the transformation in Stoke City, after signing James beattie, will tell you.

With a Dwight Gayle / Ollie Watkins then it's top 2.
Without and top 6.
Either way promotion this time for me.

As things stand I'd say no but let's see after we've got in who Jones wants, maybe it will be more realistic then I don't know.
