In that caseI share your view that with DL we are only aiming for top 4 and nothing else. However I have the opposite sentiment to you. I aim lower and feel content easier.
For starters as you will probably agree, PL is getting bigger and stronger backers. They are willing to invest ridiculously for on-field success and as a club we have to put up or shut up. It's obvious which direction DL will go and I don't blame him. Tifo had a recent video about the merits of selling Kane and the CL money isn't sufficient to fund the sort of fees being thrown around. You are looking at 30m for a 16-round finish. That's 1/2 of Ndom's transfer fees. Winning the PL has become too expensive a dream to chase for the current owners.
Leeds and Leicester are both examples of how dreamers fail when you over-stretch your resources. We don't want to end up like that.
For me, it's not such a bad thing that we are only looking to be on the same table as the big boys. Survival first, glory later if ever.
