Somewhere In Northam Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 (edited) as title states, Where do you see Southampton F.C in five years time? In the Champions League! ! Edited 5 February, 2010 by Somewhere In Northam
FloridaSaint Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 In the newly formed Super League. We finish 5th, one spot above Inter Milan. :-)
Jimmy_D Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Mid Prem, starting to build a team to push towards the Champs League spots.

Deano6 Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Interesting question. For me I'll either still be out here in New York having extended my secondment, or I'll be back working in London, having bought a nice big place somewhere in the suburbs. It's a long way off before I need to make that decision tho. Interesting that you've brought it up as I've been giving it some thought myself recently. Maybe it'll hinge on whether I find a lady I want to settle down with for the long term out here, and whether I can stand the freezing streets and lack of interesting sports. One alternative that I've been giving a modicum of consideration to is that I may take another secondment somewhere else in the world. Europe would be the most obvious, but I don't speak any of the languages to any decent degree, and the Wild Card would be an Australia / NZ option. Can't see it myself tho. If I want to be on a quiet, sunny island I'll most likely emigrate to Bermuda. Put some money on that as an outside bet.
Saint_clark Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 "Implies"? That's a pretty clear title if you ask me
Winchester_Saint Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Top-half of the Prem hopefully! Exciting times ahead
daveygwyatt Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 top 10 prem... maybe fighting for 6 or 7th spot... BUT MORE IMPORTANT ABOVE THE SKATES!!

mancsaint Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Championship forever and ever. Unfortunately Premier League for NC & ML. Mancsaint
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Still at Saint Mary's. We won't be moving to a new ground just yet.
saints_is_the_south Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Hmmm, 5 years or 5 seasons? 09/10 season - Finish 8th-10th in L1 10/11 season - Finish 1st in L1 - champions. 11/12 season - Finish 12th in CCC 12/11 season - Finish 4th in CCC - promotion to premiership via play offs. 12/13 season - Finish 16th in PL. Thats 5 seasons. 5 years... 13/14 season - Finish 12th in PL. 14/15 season - Finish 8th in PL.
Bakovnetski Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 If we go up next season as champions I could see us going straight through to the Prem in one season, maybe automatic. Not a good scenario as we would then struggle in the Prem and even do a Baggies bounce. So... 2010 L1 8th 2011 L1 champs up 2012 CC 2nd auto up 2013 Prem 18th down 2014 CC Champs up 2015 to 20..... Prem top 10
Colinjb Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Either first season back in the prem, inching towards survival or top end of the championship top 4 at least.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Planning away trips to Manchester,Liverpool & London, not Exeter, Yeovil & Gillingham That sounds worse to me tbh.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Mid-table Prem and me forking out £60 for a Liverpool away ticket.
SNSUN Posted 5 February, 2010 Posted 5 February, 2010 Mid-Table in the Premiership. Where we were in the early noughties, thus it would've taken about 13 years to sort out the mess...
