What is the least you would accept for Ole to carry on after this season sammsky?
Ole should never, ever be measured with what SAF achieved. I don't know how you can think the club SAF took over is in anyway comparable to the one Ole inherited. Night and day isn't even close.
1) This season is to finish with at least 76 points and within 10-12 points of the league winners. 2nd place would be amazing, minimum is qualification for Champions League.
2) make it to One Cup Final; win is a bonus
3) Score at least 75 goals
4) Have established 2 well drilled strategies on how to play: ie: how to win vs possession based sides and how to win vs low block sides.
5) Visible difference in development of younger 1st team squad players like Greenwood, Henderson, Tuanzebe
The first is mandatory. Second is highly desirable but getting knocked out in semi finals is OK.
The others are preferable and denote the way Id like to see the club attain its mandatory requirements.
If Ole hits these targets, and is provided world class talent at CB, DCM and maybe RW or striker in summer window (selling 4 deadwood players as well), then next season 2021/22, I'd expect a serious title challenge seeking to win and worst case is finish 2nd and within 5 points of eventual winners, and make it into last 8 of CL.
Also Atkinson regularly finished in top 4 and won cups for fun before SAF took over and his squad had many expensive and talented players but with weak mentality and many bad fitness habits. Situation vs what Ole took over from isn't that dissimilar.
