Providing we don't need to go through the first qualifying rounds.
Not for finishing fifth, we won't

With Jordi Gomez as good as signed, it most certainly will be easy. Just need Joey now.So we will just need to finish above at least three of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City, Spurs, Everton or Man Utd. Easy.

Hull are in Europe next year despite being ahead of none of these.
Doesn't meet our top five requirement though.
I'm thinking back to when Sven was here ...
Ture
With that money we may get Joey back
Is it just me that reads that as 'once we establish ourselves as a Premier League club, I hope to challenge the top 5 within 3 seasons'?
So the establishment has no time period, in my opinion staying in the league for a minimum 3 seasons with gradual improvement would be my classification of establishment, then attempt to challenge the top 5. Nothing wrong with that.
Who's Virat?This has also been repeated at http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/may/13/leicester-owners-top-five-premier-league
Maybe not, but I'd expect everyone at the club, from Top to bottom, to be happy with thatachievement.

Glad it wasn't just me thinking that

Not entirely random - I did a course in proofreading. But it's not my job.Two random people off the Internet better proofreaders than the guardian - it's no shock
It's about time he came out with a quote like this. When you're a billionaire that's spent four years chucking away more than £100m with no chance of any return on it, you've got the right to give it large when a bit of glory finally does come along.
The last time we won the Championship equivalent, wasn't it Jock Wallace that stated we were next going to win the equivalent of the Premier League title? Good on the scary old growler for that. I vaguely remember loving him for saying that. There is nothing wrong with reaching for the stars. People were taking the piss out of Man City only a few years ago.
There's nothing worse than a team getting promoted and then immediately begging for a 17th place finish next season. Vichai has paid enough out to say whatever he likes and it's up to NP and the players to fulfill his wishes.
Now I might believe that the chances of us finishing top five within the next three years is slim to nil. And I'd lay massive odds that NP wouldn't be anywhere near the club were it to happen. But I respect and applaud our owner for having that aspiration and setting that target.
:icon_lol:Haha 'growler'
:icon_lol: is that a good thing to be called?
