1, Only promotion via autos or playoffs
2. Top 3 finish without promotion but foundations for a real push the following one
3. Top 6 finish but foundations for a real push the following one
4. Higher than this year but foundations for a real push the following one
For me I think top 3 no.2. I don't think any fans of any club could realistically expect 1 although obviously what we will be aiming and hoping for.
EDITED Actually thinking about it finishing 6th isn't successful so i've changed it to top 3.

We would have to be slowly implementing a style and could see where the club is going, rather than scraping together a 6th finish with scrappy football.
Morgan delivers 1 decent ball every 5 games. Stockley only sees red twice all season and TS buys the Oak to turn into his own private club and hosts mini concerts there every time he’s over
Only promotion is success.
You could argue top six without promotion is a good or decent or acceptable or OK or at least we moved forward season but it's not success
I can wake up one morning and go 'Ooh, I don't feel like running Charlton today, can I just stay in bed?' 'Ooh, don't know, better ask the boss.' 'Thomas can I stay in bed all day?' 'Yes you can Thomas.' Both me, that's not me in bed with another bloke called Thomas.
But even that will be a push seeing how we have to rebuild (yet again) and will be up against teams like Sheff W, Ipswich, MK Dons, Derby & Barnsley.
Which isn't to say we should expect promotion, as it will be incredibly hard to go up, as we're up against so many teams with similar expectations.
Anything else is failure
anything else falls short
Don't think we'll have enough for top 2
Whoever the new manager is though, we need to see progression, both in our style of play/results and also the squad building. So that IF we do make the play offs (or maybe fell short) fans could really believe that the new manager has made a difference and that we've the nucleus of a promotion winning squad which just requires 2/3 additions (not 13). Following season promotion would be the only acceptable ending
But with us in the state we're in, and the potential that we may head out for a training camp without a manager.
A very solid "4" at present.
