its the last year of slavens contract , so what season would he need to warrant an extension ?

Im thinking top 8 , with maybe a good cup run and a few stand our performances.
A season similar to his first maybe
what you reckon

Depends on circumstances really, I'd say.
If everyone remains reasonably fit, then we should be looking top ten.
If we're massively hit by injuries (again) and misfortune then you'd have to lower that a bit.

Top 8 within touching distance of Everton. A good run in the a cup would be nice.

With the money invested I'd expect a 12 point improvement on last season.
The cups are lotteries.

Cups are a lottery - to a degree. Also depends if you treat them properly and not with contempt like we have been guilty of in the past.
We are nowhere near good enough for CL
We COULD at a push make 6th (we won't though)
We should be nowhere near relegation
No excuse not to go full pelt in cups with strongest team. Anything else what is the point of each season?

Minimum!? What's your maximum, 2nd!?
Convincing top half and I'm happy. If we finish 11th or lower, then it's a disaster.

Well, I think you'd have to allow a free pass cup wise if we get absolutely stinking draws like last season.
Drawn against Chelsea in the league cup, then getting Man U as 'reward'
Drawn against Man City in the FA Cup.
It doesn't get much harsher than that.

If he stops playing Noble, that's good enough for me. Even if we go down.

Pub bigot, given our squad on paper if the pending deals come off, we avoid the usual injury crisis and the a second of our fan base, 8th is a reasonable position to expect. Anything else and it highlights that Billic is not good enough for a club with our potential.

Surely 8th has to be the best we can reasonably expect? I would say the minimum should be 10th, but it depends on other things too. We were close to finishing 9th last season but it could never be classed as a good season as we were in the bottom half for most of it, in danger of relegation, struggling at home and on the wrong end of some spankings.
I want us to be able to hold our own against any team in the league, regardless of the result. Similar to the season before last.

Were in that category of team where a few injuries at the wrong time can mean the difference between 7th and about 14th so although a top ten finish should be a target, I think you also have to take into account other factors like injuries, the overall performance of the team and if, on the pitch at least, were moving in the right direction
It'd be nice if there was a throwback to 2 seasons ago where we didn't just roll over against good teams and actually have a decent account of ourselves.
As others have said, cup run would be great but you really are at the mercy of the draw and then what team the big guns out out. But we still shouldn't be humiliated, at home, on tv by anyone

Win the FA Cup would be good but as previously said you need a bit of luck we should have won it 2006. I think we would have gone on to win in 2015 if Schwinestieger hadnt bundled Randolph into the net up at Old Trafford no luck again.
Wevwill see
