[Albion] Would you be disappointed with 9th place this season?

I'm not overly bothered, I'm assuming we'll be top half at worst (bit arrogant, sorry). I'm very focused on the 2 cups this season, I got a feeling......!
Top 10, top in our EL group and maybe a decent FA Cup run. These would be a good season.

Yep.
Our soul? No.You’d surely wouldn’t sell our soul for one piece of silver?
There’s no way I wouldn’t want even one season in the Championship League again, even if it did mean winning the FA Cup - the loss of revenue for us means it would be a Pyrrhic victory - we’d have to sell players to stay afloat so probably wouldn’t even get through the group stages of the Europa Cup.
But being in the Premier League is temporary. Actually winning something is permanent.
Would I be disappointed? Yes. Because I have absolutely loved our European adventure, and next season wouldn't be the same without it.
Would 9th place be a bad season? No, not at all. 3 seasons in a row in the top 10 in the Premier League should be absolute dreamland for any Albion fan.

Yes I would be disappointed even though I know I shouldn’t be. We are doing so well given the budget and size of club, playing great footbal and at levels we’ve never been.

We can win our mini league, overhaul Utd, West Ham and Saudi and finish 6th.
To do this, a lot would have to go right. The steady stream of injuries would have to slow to a trickle and some of our less in form players, Estupinan, Ferguson would have to rediscover their mojo. We are also asking a huge amount from Gilmour and Gross to play all those games, so I imagine Baleba and Milner would have to come in at times and perform well.
I won't be disappointed with 9th. I would be with bottom half
