It’s more likely than not that next season won’t be the same as 25/26 in terms of quality of football and overall league performance and as I’ve already said that’s fine. It would be a very tall order, unrealistic even to expect it to be the same.

However if we are humiliated in Europe which is a distinct possibility and start the season on the back foot from the word go and our domestic form is also poor resulting in us involved in the relegation dogfight, or worse actually being in the playoffs or relegated, then that will be hard to be looked on as anything other than a disaster of a campaign.

On the other hand a solid if unremarkable season with a league finish anywhere between 6th and 10th wouldn’t be disastrous.

At the moment it's underwhelming. 

On the downside
Top manager leaving + top players left/leaving + small squad + injuries are a tough part of the equation.  

One the upside 
Adding Alfred + 3 signings by mid July. 

Observations 
Injuries to Jonny, SOD, McGinn, Hendry & McGhee - no suprises there ,majority often pick up injures or getting on. 

Conclusion 
None of the above was unknown or surprising. What we've to date secured isn't sufficient.   

Without a competitive ball being kicked it's very difficult  outline how we'll be competitive for top 6.

Hoping and willing to be impressed with a surge of quality coming through the door but so far it's underwhelming.
