    Where do you think we'll be? Championship? Still in L1?... Away from Oakwell..?

    Championship at Oakwell I hope. I believe the short to mid-term plan is to try and establish the club in the Championship again with the aim of settling in there. Basically, the same plan, but at a slightly higher level. For the time being that's about as high as we're realistically able to get anyway. Anything more than that, especially in just 5 years, would just be too ambitious.

    Probably Championship with an eye to getting the squad sensibly into a shape where we were a couple of ambitious signings from a promotion push.

    Well in the last 55 years of watching, I have overseen approx 6 relegations & 5 promotions in that time , so the oddds say we change divisions on average every 5 years , so lets hope the next one is a promotion not the dreaded drop .

    Bottom half championship. Unless the club gets a significant boost in budget through whatever means, we are destined to be either bottom section of the championship, top half league 1.. Maybe with a spattering of exceptional seasons where we may keep up the pace in the champ until mid season and fizzle into mid table... But if money truly talks and we purely stay within our means, we will become somewhat of a yo-yo champ/league 1 club IMO..

    That's no reason to stop dreaming / believing of something better. Maybe one year we sign 2 or 3 absolute gems under the radar and we really start to dream again..

    Anything less than losing Champions League finalist would be a great disappointment :)

    If that's the Champions League that no longer has the top clubs who've formed a European Super league then it's beneath us and I, for one, won't be attending. ;)

    Signing Mbappe as the experienced older player to offer his experience to our young squad.

    Where are we in relation to the scheme of things?
    I’m sure I’ve seen that before.
    Anyway.
    Top six Championship.
    Or
    Mid table / bottom half of Premeir.

    As there will be a European super league by then the premiership will have devalued quicker than a quid after Brexit. A restructure will pull the top end Championship teams up to the newly formed Prem ( Leeds will be leading the charge to the final week then fall away and stay in the Championship where they will get even more telly time than Corrie) We will be comfortably in the Championship until the FA realise there's nowhere to dump their sh"te referees on a Saturday at which point they will remember a rule from 1897 that all teams starting with BA belong in the conference......or am I being cynical...

    Either top 6 of League One or bottom 6 of Championship. Over the last 13 years it’s pretty much where we’ve been & unless we have huge investment I can’t see it changing.

    At Oakwell complaining about ticket prices, selling our better players and replacing them with kids, listening to sweet caroline and some form of naff half time entertainment. Paul Futcher will have just been inducted into the HoF.

    We'll likely be low end Championship or top half league 1.

    Either Championship or League one (assuming no changes to the national structure of league football) depending on where we are in our current "Yo-Yo" cycle.

    I’d hope as a sustained championship club (of course still playing at Oakwell) looking up rather than over our shoulders.
