That’s a statement about how lame our transfer policy has been so far
Two examples of two sides having drastically different seasons the following year, and proof that you can turn it around in one season.
It's simply an excuse to say where we are now and needing to build etc. We are on 0 points, with 138 points to play for, and a transfer window still open to strengthen.
We have been in this league far too long. Promotion would be a decent season, if not we need to just miss out and be well placed for next season. Anything else is not good enough IMO.

Not sure finishing outside the play-offs for a 5th consecutive season would show anyone that we're serious.
Based on the signings to date I think top 10 might be achievable. I have not changed my view from a couple of weeks back that top six is unlikely without at least 3 additional signings, all of whom should be starters.
If the club's position is that they need to move some players out before bringing in further additions, there is always the risk of a slow start to the season. Obviously the board and NJ know that, so it's down to them to solve that conundrum.
Let’s get out of this league,it can’t come soon enough now,let’s hope NJ is the man & that he takes us up,so keep around the top 6-8 till Chrimbo then push it on to consolidate play-offs then if we get lucky automatics…so play offs for me…next season Champions if we have NJ still with us…
I think we'll have a realistic view of our prospects by early October. By that point we'll be 10 games in and the new signings will have had ample opportunity to prove themselves. If we're not in the top 6 by that point I will be resigned to another season of managerial comings and going and mediocrity.
I think a lot of what I want is a competitive team and spirit. I’d like to enjoy watching us play and not continually feel pissed off because of the lack of desire and commitment.
While I don’t like losing, it feels easier to take, when we’ve given it a right go and it’s clear to see, that common adage, we’ve left everything out on the pitch.
Play Offs would be great, promotion, dreamland.
Never seen a lack of desire or commitment. Ever. I have seen a lack of ability (skill and decision making), organisation, and fear of making mistakes.
How do others see 10th place but purchase of SL and Valley?

True, but only one -sided stats/data. We also need to know how many teams failed after a major squad churn.
I agree with the majority that top six is crucial, but I'd also like to be looking forward to seeing the football EVERY week, which was definitely not the case last season! Good football, playing with desire, plenty of shots (to quote Curbs) and some of the "dark arts" when the situation demands.
Realistically I'd settle for play offs and improvement off the pitch as there is still a long way to go for both and if that goes OK promotion the following year

Curbishley is saying this with the fact he has not ploughed dough into the club. He'd be singing a different tune otherwise.
For me top 6 but not promoted via playoffs would be decent, that should be our minimum aim every season.
1st: Excellent 2nd: Very good 3rd - 6th (promoted): Good 3rd - 6th: (Not-promoted): Decent 7th - 10th: Meh 11th - 12th: Poor 13th - 20th: Woeful 21st - 24th: Catastrophically bad
Pretty much this with the caveat of that this is one most competitive league one line ups we have seen so I think if say we finish 7th or 8th but have shown great improvement on last year and are least battling for top 6 then I wouldn't say that was meh really though

Cmon u Addicks…no disappointments please…🙌
5.30 and 12.30 kick offs are taking it to a new level.

Promotion is a must for me.
Top 6 - nothing less.

@clb74 is annoying as well.
Promotion.
Goal difference of 30
