Tan looking at top 2 finish

Wed Jun 19, 2024 2:10 pm

According to Ninian's post Tan will be looking for a top 2 finish from Bulut based on the backing Tan will be providing him with.

Who in the current squad do you believe is good enough to play for a team challenging for automatic promotion?

For me I can think of a fully fit Ramsey and that's about it.

How much do you think Bulut will need financially to mount a realistic attempt for automatic promotion?

Its not so much the ammount its all about the quality he brings in ? Obviously more money available the more chances of getting higher quality i think abroad will be our market for the quality with efl giving the experience.. going on tans words top 6 is minimum he wants..

Some serious crack being smoked within the club and in fans homes if they think the manager is going to get backed for a top two finish in my opinion :lol:

Jesus, we were saying top six when we finished mid table. Now we are saying top two.

Shall we win the fa Cup and qualify for the champions league too?

Don’t be ridiculous.

Tan’s top priority is for us to win the Euros this summer.

Last season people were saying there was no ambition being happy with a mid table finish & an improvement over the previous season. This season people think it's funny or just plain ridiculous that the club is looking to a top 6 and even a top 2 finish.

What exactly would make you people happy for the club to be aiming for pre-season because apparently 12th shows no ambition & top 2 shows too much?

I was one of the few who said that Bulut has done a good job under the circumstances and that 12th was a big improvement.

In my eyes now, if we get backed, I'd be happy if we push for play offs, even if we narrowly miss out. Its still a step in the right direction.

A lot will disagree with me on that most likely.

The problem is they build up expectation when they know they can’t deliver it. Dalman did the same last summer and before January.

So difficult to build our squad into a top two team so why put our unrealistic ambitions?

Top six can be achievable with the right signings but top two is extremely unlikely.

Top 2 finish hey.

Well being backed is one thing (and Tan may come through there, you never know).

But you also need a serious dressing room as well. A squad of 25 players that will run through walls for you...and they'll only do that coz the manager instils a will to win and never say die attitude.

Just not sure we have that!

Would be great to properly challenge in the top half though, heres hoping!!!

Ned that maybe true but nothing wrong at this time to state what they want to acheive obviously depends on who they sighn ? Maybe a bit premature but its been said so no reason to dismiss what bulut wants for the club never mind what tan expects.

Tan has a business head NOT a football mind.

His business head is saying top 2, understandable, and his football head, well thats in cloud koko land. Besides I don't think we can spend that much for a top 2 finish. Its going to take some footballing brain to achieve top 2, thats for sure.

We all want to but unlike Tan most of us seem to appreciate that without a plan in place and significant investment in the playing squad it's extremely unlikely to happen!

bulut will need £10-£15 million to make us a quality team and to be top 6 never mind top 2.
