We are playing catch-up this year. Top 6 will be an achievement.
This post is spot on in my opinion and I really hope the owners see it the same way. Top 6 but no promotion wouldn't be a failure, it'd be an incredible improvement on last season. I'd also hope that the owners would bear in mind what Karanka did at Boro if we were to miss out on promotion via the playoffs - as it would be a pretty-much identical record. First half-season: come in and steady the ship; first full-season: playoffs. And we all know what happened next...
