I would agree that it is hard to say with any certainty the expectations so far.
One expectation has to be that the team does not finish bottom again. With the resources available for new players, a good influx of talent with some experience should have us looking much further up. I would like to see the team be in contention at the halfway stage of the season where the club could bring in some reinforcements at give them a great chance of making the playoffs. It's not unthinkable and the margins last year in many games were very close.
The Munster Senior Cup was great last year and another good opportunity at home. Hopefully we will be able to see some new players and start off with a win. It will be difficult to say which team will prioritize this with Cobh also injecting massive money into their first team.
We seem to revel in the FAI Cup Games. Some clubs are great for Cup runs and the opening two seasons show that for Kerry. Losing in 2023 to Drogheda 1-0 was no disgrace and taking Bohemians to PK's shows that with some luck in the draw, a Cup run is something we can get excited about.
Early days and will have my final predictions and expectations before the first game.
