Expectation? Top Six ........ but as IHE noted, there are several 'SMART' goals to be achieved. Winning the SPL is a 'pipedream' so not one of the 'smart' goals.
1. Avoid relegation (for obvious reasons)
2. Finish above County (shadows and all that)
3. Top Six (better gates for last 5 games)
4. Good run in SFA and/or League Cup (potential UEFA qualification and additional non-budgeted money in coffers)
5. Top 3 (European qualification - the logical next step in ICT's development)
6. Top 2 (mucho dinero as league payment + European qualification)
If we can achieve the first 3 I will be reasonably happy. 1-4 would be very good, and if we get to 5 or 6 then Terry has to get the keys to the city !
