Hello All
It's been a very long time since I've posted, however have been a daily visitor and reader of the site for many years. I remember the good old days, reading about Mad Mick's sister-in-law and how Jeff/ survivor knew Massimo etc, etc etc.
Although I haven't contributed to the site myself, I feel like I have lived the ups and downs with you guys over the years. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED last season and am so proud of the team. I'm still expecting to wake up at some point to find out that our Premier league return is just a dream. It's incredible.
Anyway I wanted to ask you all a question. In Bielsa head what do you think he is aiming for this season? Personally I'd love to finish in the top 10, however survival has to be the first priority. However, I honestly don't think Bielsa does survival or settling for mid table. In the championship the clear goal was automatic promotion or the play-offs. What's his goal now?

Hi Danny good to see you back, I believe he will want to see how far he can take us and may be would like to win something before he moves on and his old number two comes back to take us further if that’s possible.

DIB I believe he's aiming for CL qualification.

I think he will take it one step at a time and avoid relegation first, top half second, Europe 3rd or title 4th. He hasn't demanded loads of new faces so that tells me he thinks that the current squad are capable of stepping up and what is the point of merely stepping up to scrape survival? He will want to do the best he can, play the right way and most of all continue to see his lads evolve as players and people.
Welcome back btw Danny :)

I agree with George. And I actually believe he thinks it is possible. Bielsa that is!
