Despite qualifying for the Europa League last season, there are concerns about the lack of squad depth and the departure of key players, including Eliezer Mayenda to Rennes. Director of Football Florent Ghisolfi faces challenges as other clubs enhance their rosters. The club's opening match is against Ipswich, and the deadline for further transfers is approaching.
