De Zerbi said at his press conference about a ‘new target’ after Fati signed for us.

This HAS to be Champions League. We absolutely can finish in the top 5 this year. And if we can do it we’ll keep all our star boys next summer.
Spot on - up until "we’ll keep all our star boys next summer." No we won't; they'll want to move up to bigger (that's 'bigger', not 'better' BTW) clubs and their agents will want them to move up to treble their wages.
Some will go down the route of, 'Yes, I'll stay for a couple of seasons to repay what the Albion have done for me in developing my career and making me into a multi £million transfer fee player." Others, more influenced by greedy agents or starving siblings wanting a house and a car as well as pudding will go down the "We want the big money move and we want it now! - one more season? No, f*** that!" route.

C'est la vie.

Sadly I suspect not that simple. In terms of revenue I believe we’re still lower half of the table.

I don’t like it, but I’ll have to go along with it. This is the reality.

That’s that then. Obviously really going for the Sussex Senior Cup this year.

RDZ target is to win every game, though suspect his main target this season is top 4 and win a trophy
Exactly this. He’s an ambitious perfectionist rather than a Geography teacher from Solihull.

We'd be top half in revenue if the club could manage to keep enough men's shirts in stock in the online store!
