I think if you ask any villa fan what their expectations were, I can't think of anyone realistically saying we'd be where we are.

I said a while back on @UTVpodcast_ I'd take a 14th or 15th place finish. It would of been a stepping stone and platform to build on #avfc #utv
What's been Villa's success? A number of factors in my view:
1. The backing of NSWE is huge, yes we need to spend big season but we have recruited well and built on what needed.
2. Johan Lange input has been nothing short of a masterstroke. Great appointment.
3. Getting in Shakespeare, Villa fan and has certainly provided us with a cutting edge.
4. Jack on a long term deal, yes, bigger clubs my come in for him but I truly feel he wants to succeed at Villa fan knows Dean and the board are building something special
5. New recruits fitted in pretty much straight away. Martz has been purchase of the season, Cash has brought a exciting RB approach we have missed since Gary Charles, Ollie keeps banging them in.
Should we be excited? Yes we should, more than ever, you feel NSWE are building something we have yearned for since Lerner. Owners who care and want this club to succeed

Top 10 finish definitely on the cards, which would mean more exciting recruitment in the summer UTFV
