Win the League, improve seeding in CL qualifiers, give ourselves a chance to go further in CL/EL with ECL group qualification as the fallback. All while investing in the academy, improving the squad, growing attendances and the club year-on-year, plus learning lessons from each year's European experience to take forward.
Burning brightly and fading away ala Dundalk is not the plan, no guarantee that won't happen but the strategic long term planning at Rovers, on and off the pitch, gives us a decent shot. Dan Cleary slipping or fans of other clubs getting their knickers in a twist won't change that.
