Suppose we're lower mid-table at Xmas...

Option 3 should read: He should get 2 full years to get us to the championship

Why? I'm not interested in whether others think he should get 2 years. A more interesting question is how our new chairman will respond if things don't go according to plan in the short term.

Lower mid-table half way through next season will be a disappointment - but not a good reason to sack the manager! It depends on how things are going - we could well be mid-table, but beyond the league position, I would be more interested in seeing if things looked liked getting better, if things were starting to fall into place, all that sort of thing.
Success is seldom instantaneous!

There will be a fair old influx of new players and they will take time to gel Im sure. Together with the fact that we appear to be in a much stronger league than last year, we may well find ourselves in mid-table come xmas and I for one would see that as an improvement over this season for sure. Id expect BHA to be 'running on' next season, finishing in the play offs with a late run once the team has settled and is firing. Anything more than that and I will be very happy.
I hope the supporters dont end up with huge expectations like we always seem to have. We have to be sensible about this and so does TB if were not in the top 5 by xmas.
