Shouldn't that be something of a transition season? I hear this more and more regularly and I'm sure it's wrong.
And you can lump in "I resonate with this" - no you don't, it resonates with you.
Sorry - back to the point of the thread.

No somewhat is correct here.

Seemingly not to those who scream for Hurzeler to be sacked each time the team hits a bump in the road.
Also, I'm not sure I've heard/read a senior club official acknowledge it either.
Shame as other European contenders were busy dropping the ball
Any chance of a quick summary - or even a cut and paste job - for those of us who have not signed up for FB, and have no intention of doing so?
Yes, completely (unless you're a bit thick, or a bit entitled ?)
Not to me...we're about par for a transition season

But that suggests you think our natural position is higher in the table ?Not to me...we're about par for a transition season
I would differ. But it's a game of opinions.

So if we're mid table this time next season we can legitimately moan, whinge, wet the bed and call for the managers head.
I've already noted the date in the 2026 diary.

There is no natural position. Our target position is top ten but with regular European qualification. Position at this stage of the season is moot as far as I’m concerned.

i can accept that, but is it a good transition?
would like to think so, but every few weeks there's doubt.

The comments about the increased activity in the summer transfer window – which led to everyone banging on about having spent £200m – were along the lines of "We don't normally work like this, but we are building for the long-term future", as I remember. With that in mind – and along with the lateral thinking about how long it would take to fully integrate those players into the squad (more than a few months, IMO opinion – and that's before all the injuries) – my expectations certainly weren't for Europe or even a guaranteed top-half finish.
Trouble is, some fans expect more and for success to keep on coming and qualification for European competitions being a regular thing. That's just not going to happen for a bit. New manager + new players = no guarantee of success and ups and downs throughout the season.

But that's why it's a transition. If things were good all the time, it would be a good season. All those draws are things that happen under these circumstances. The decent performances show that the potential is there, hopefully the rewards will be reaped on a more regular basis next season.
We don’t know yet, we’re in transition

Apparently not to many on here. They just saw the big number in the summer and don't bother to consider what that was actually spent on.
