I’m sure I could hear the Dambusters March playing somewhere in the background when I read this article.
Hopefully the optimism is well founded.
Nice article DUTAC.
For me I actually think this season is going to be harder than some think. I believe that whilst Rodgers has got a lot right, results may not come immediately on the pitch.
Our aim should be top 6 no doubt, but I would be happy with a top half finish and progress from the team to be moving towards Rodgers vision.
The thing with Rodgers is his style and football is very predictable. The question will come early - do we have the quality to unlock teams even when they know how we play?
That will be interesting for me, but I share your positive optimism and I’m looking forward to the season. I certainly didn’t look forward to it under Puel!

We will play them on the beaches....... in a mix of Winston Churchill and Brendan Rodgers!!!!!
With the capture of Tielemans, it's clearly been a good transfer window so far. Perez looks to be the mould of player that we're looking for as well, in terms of pressing from the front and working hard.
How it ends is still up for question. If we're serious about pressing the top 6 this season then I feel more and more that selling Maguire and not replacing him would be a mistake. Benkovic is being eased back in slowly, Amartey similarly, and I can't bring myself to trust Soyuncu as an option. I understand there are rumours that an £80m bid has been tabled for Maguire now. If so, and depending on what has been discussed and agreed with Maguire behind the scenes, I would still reject and hold out for £90m. Crazy? Maybe. But this season has the potential to be an important one for the progression of our club and to succeed we need a whole team that's ready to make the step forward. Going into the season with an identifiable weakness at centre half could be very costly in a world of small gains.
