    Expectation for Season 2016-17

    Now that Millertime has had one season to understand the HAL competition, has chopped the Deadwood he nor want yesterday and is in position to start to formulate his own side next season and not just go the parking the bus option like he did to start the season

    What exactly are your expectations for where he is to have us on the ladder.

    As far as I am concerned nothing less than Top 4 next season.

    Anything less is a ****ing failure in my eyes


    No sneaking into the top 6 as acceptable shit.
    It is time to actually deliver results and cut the excuses out.

    I predict that we will be debating who our number one keeper is regardless of who has been signed.

    It's a better tradition than the Masters IMHO.

    2 marquees, full cap and exemptions used = top 4 minimum.

    Legit though we'll finish between 6-8 again and it will be because our new players 'wouldn't have had time to gel'.

    More stupid threads started when we don't know if/when/who new owners are involved, how much, if any, extra funds available to the manager (whoever that may be) has to spend or not on exciting youth/foreign spot fillers/ returning socceroos/ promoted youth league players to fill as much as half the squad when we have never spent third party money thus putting us behind every other club besides the gypos in what we can offer said players all signed by the CEO (oh yeah we don't have one of those either).....

    I think there is a LOT of water under the bridge before we can have any expectations other than more of the same....nothing in our history leads me to think otherwise until there are some major changes to the ownership, structure, running and funding of the club.

    Depends if we get new ownership. Status quo remains under FFA, realistically can't see us finishing above teams who utilize Marquees and the full cap etc., maybe squeeze into 6th if we can make Hunter stadium a fortress (ha ha) and win about 7-8 games at least at home.
    We get the ownership sorted and have an owner who is 100% committed and who will invest in making the squad as strong as possible, top four should be absolute minimum.

    I don't see the Jets doing any better next season. We have released a lot of players and you really need to wonder who the replacements will be and will they be any better ?

    I thinking some of you are being unrealistic


    If a Neville side no one really rates can win the EPL whilst competing against sides with 5-10 x the budget then as far as I am concerned this coach of ours should have no problem getting us into the top 40% of the League

    It ain't that ****ing hard to achieve making the top 4

    If you truly believe that then you are more delusional than I thought. If Leicester win the epl it will be an outlier like it was when Blackburn won it...that's why there has been only 5 teams win it in its near thirty years....besides if it was as easy to make the top 4 then the jets must be ****ing horrible because we haven't cracked the top 6 in years.

    gotta agree we need financial stability first and foremost before we go dreaming of another toilet seat - too many seasons of turmoil, failure to bring youth players up to standard, makes it hard even if we do get a cashed up owner as we have to bring in half a squad and get them playing as a unit - all over again...
    Life isn't the same without Con... but it can only improve without Tinks...

    You are dreaming if you think we can hit top 4 inside of 12 months of a new owner and a squad clearout.
    I would be aiming for 5 or 6th place finish, and building the club for a run at top 4 inside of three seasons. Remember we are starting from behind the 8-ball here, with zero investment in admin/coaching/playing roster. The only two clubs in a worse position than us is that gypo club who spent as little as possible on NPL talent (but who reckon they can now spend on decent talent for next season - lets wait and see), and a club who didnt even know if they would exist beyond 1st July until recently.

    There are THREE major factors that have to be finalised in the next few months for this club to improve next season: an owner who will spend money across front office/coaching staff/playing roster, a CEO who will lead this club effectively (eg like Filiopoulos for Glory has), and keep or sack Miller.

    Lets be realistic with our expectations ffs, its going to take time to get everything back on an even keel after years of upheaval.

    I'd be more than happy with getting into the 6 next season. It's better than anything we've had in the past 5(?) seasons.

    To 'expect' to make the 4 at this point is utterly ridiculous. It's the nature of sport that nothing is guaranteed. There were so many results in the A-league this year that were mere minutes, or dodgy referee decisions, away from resulting in a different top 6. Look at the fortunes of Adelaide & Perth. If they copped one or two more losses, they may never have recovered. If Keogh doesn't return in January, Perth aren't playing in Melbourne today. There are so many variables that can impact whether a team wins the Premiers plate, or slips down to 5th.

    All we've done is release a handful of players and our ownership is up in the air.

    Worst case scenario is that we have the same (lack of) resources as last year. If that's the case, Miller has shown me more than enough that he can get the best out of ordinary cattle.

    Buddy if you not understand why Blackburn won the EPL in 94&95 then don't bring that up as a reference.
    The reason they won it is they spent more money than everyone else under Jack Walker.

    They were not an outsider to win it

    They were one of the favourites
    They just provided the template clubs with little success but big money like Man City and Chelsea have followed

    Every other team has spent more than us for seasons. We keep within those parameters positionally on the ladder.

    IF we get a new owner then we can expect greater things. This has to happen sooner rather than later obviously.

    WSW were able to not once but twice successfully create a winning team (one from scratch and the other on a rebuild) with financial availability. So I don't think top 4 is out of those realms of possibility IF we get the owners..soon.

    Realistic??

    To expect us to finish in the top 4 is conservative.

    If Lester can win the EPL when 12 months ago they were staring down the barrel of relegation and started this season as a big contender for the drop then there is no reason we can't make the semis and host a semi final

    That is not being ambitious that is actually showing ambition that is achievable

    And BUDDY if you could read instead of firing off at anyone who disagrees with you you might have seen i said OUTLIER NOT OUTSIDER. the other 4 teams to win the epl have been 4 of the biggest spenders over the life of the premier league...where are blackburn now?

    I, like most on here, and probably anywhere to be honest, know the jets need a lot of work to make up the difference to be a top 4 team, starting with ownership, leadership, strenghtening the staff and playing rosters....not just a new season and your say so.

    As usual the Member is the only one on here looking at the big picture.

    If blokes like him weren't around to dream big we'd never have invented water, wheels and online porn.

    I'm with the Member on this one, glory or death.

    After the dismal seasons my beloved Jets and Chelsea have had all i want is a team who every week puts in 100% into attack and defense anything else is a bonus (****ing sick of professional players doing **** all for 90 minutes and getting payed, Chelsea gave done this pretty much every week and the Jets did this for at least 1 quarter of this season)

    lol plague - "big picture" is medium to long term goal setting. Not short termism, which is what he is saying.
    I expect us to be aiming for trophies in coming seasons also (as everyone else does), however to expect an almighty turnaround in less than 12 months with so many other clubs ahead of us in organisation and financial outlay is just being fanciful.
    Goals have to be realistic and attainable, expecting shit to become gold overnight just sets you up for disappointment. Even the Mythbusters spent hours upon hours working before proving you can actually polish a turd
