Expectations for 2014-15 season? Time to end the sucess/failure debate for all

still want to see our young players given more playing time

For me success means taking home one of the major trophies (CL or PL)

Par is competing on all fronts.

Failure is pulling an Arsenal.

I really don't know about that we shall have to see. If Fabergas is so good and Barca fought to get him, all that rubbish about he was going home well how come they are so willing to let him go so quick??

Mostly because they initially wanted him as a successor in the middle. But instead he's been used bit part , playing in multiple roles. He's played as a false 9, in the middle and also protected the defense. He's been booed by the crowd too. So he's not happy. An unhappy player in any dressing room is bad. That's the reason they want him out. They're willing to let him go for these reasons, not because he's not an exceptional player.

Next season? Very unlikely. Too much pressure to win something, especially the league. I doubt Jose will take any risks.

League title and FA/League cup is the minimum goal for next season with the players Emenalo/Roman have brought in.

A domestic double is the minimum? That's crazy.

I'd be more than happy with just the Premier League title.

We haven't won enough of them, and it's been too long since the last one.

Well tbf with our depth a FA Cup/Capital one cup is pretty much should be guaranteed unless we get City in 3rd round again like we did this year or something. BPL is a must though, even 1 point off the top is not good enough with our squad which will be one of the strongest in Europe soon.

Last season wasnt a failure, despite contary belief by Brendan Rodgers and his sheep defending is part of football and we have built a solid foundation to add the likes of Cesc in.

Next season if we dont win anthing it would be a failure but I still wouldnt want Jose sacked.

It depends on how play though, if we play good football and don't win anything that's fine for me but if we play like last season and don't win anything he has to go imo.

[LAM09 6,750]

We would all like Chelsea to win the quadruple, but in all seriousness; we have to win the league at the very least IMO. It is probably the easiest title to win, and we weren't far off winning it this season without a consistent number 9. Anything else would be icing on the cake really.

He is going to be sacked regardless whether we want it or not. Heck might even happen during the season if we go through a continuous rough patch

The only way Jose would be sacked is if he fell out with the board. I don't think anybody on the board wants to take responsibility for fucking up twice.

3 scenarios which he will be sacked by the end of next season:

1. Falls out with the board like you said aka 2007 all over again and Madrid end of 2012-13

2. Trophy less again despite the squad we have

3. Starts the season badly/go through a long rough patch which sees us fall way off the top of the table aka 10-12 points behind by Jan/Feb or starts the season by winning like 2 games out of 10.

Courtois,

Luis, Cahill, JT, Azpi,

Matic, Fabregas,

Hazard, Oscar, Willian,

Costa

If we start next season with this team we are going to tear some serious shit up at home and abroad!

[TorontoChelsea 4,064]

Win the league. The CL is a bit of a crapshoot so it's hard to say. (Is losing say, in the quarter-finals to Bayern a worse season than losing in the semis to a team we should beat?) but at least QFs. Domestic Cups? You expect at least a QF in both but I don't care nearly as much. (If it were me, I'd play mostly young players and subs in the League Cup). League is key to the season. We've spent way more than anyone except City in the last while and we've finished 3rd, 3rd, and 6th in the last 3 seasons. Enough already!!!
