HULL City owner Assem Allam has his eyes set on European football after the club returned to the Premier League.
A draw with champions Cardiff City on the final day of the season was enough to propel the Tigers back into the top flight of English football.
No-one could have prepared themselves for the drama that unfolded inside the KC stadium yesterday but now all eyes are on the headline fixtures that await next season.
Although the jubilation of what Hull City have achieved will not settle in for some time, Mr Allam is already making plans for the future.
"I would like to see European football here. That is my dream for the fans and it is achievable," he said.
"Obviously, it will be difficult finishing in the top four of the Premier League without massive spending but there will be chances in the cups."
Assem and his son Ehab took over the reins at Hull City in 2010, with the team languishing in the relegation zone and facing financial crisis.
But just three years later, City are preparing to compete once again in the world's most competitive and lucrative league after one of the most remarkable days in the club's history.
The transformation has been as remarkable as it has been unexpected.
Not even confident businessman Mr Allam had planned for such a drastic rise.
"I never expected to gain automatic promotion. It just shows how well the team and Steve Bruce have done," he said.
"This is a major achievement for Steve and the squad."
Mr Allam is clearly proud of the part his family have played in the club's success but wants the spotlight to remain focused on fans.
"All of the investment and now the promotion is not about personal achievement," he said.
"It is for the supporters and the community of Hull.
"The supporters deserve a successful club and that is what we will try to deliver.
"There is a feel-good factor in Hull that the results of the club have created and I think that has shown.
"Sealing promotion is one of the proudest moments of my life, without doubt, but it is all for the fans and the community – without them, we couldn't have done it.
"To be able to achieve this for the whole of Hull and the East Riding is something I am very proud of."
The Egyptian inherited about £35m of debt when he took over and set about rebuilding the club.
Mr Allam praised Tigers fans for their part in carrying the club back to the big time.
"The supporters have given the club so much support," he said.
"I am very grateful to them. I have done it all for the fans and it is fantastic to see them backing the team.
"It is like giving someone a present. You want to give them what they want and hopefully I have.
"We froze the season ticket prices to give something back to the fans."
Mr Allam first became involved with the Tigers during their first, two-year spell in the Premier League, when his East Yorkshire company Allam Marine was a sponsor of the club.
With debts threatening the club's existence, the Allams were the only ones prepared to stop City going into administration.
Now, not content with taking the Tigers back to the top flight, Mr Allam is looking to cement the club's place in the Premier League.
And he believes they have what it takes to compete against the game's elite.
Mr Allam said: "We have a good squad of players, unlike a lot of other teams, and that has made the difference in the Championship.
"When we lose some players because of injury, we still have a good squad.
"That is what makes us different to the rest.
"I will now sit down with Steve Bruce, Nick Thompson and the board and plan for the future.
"The sustainability of the club is important and our plans will be for the future.
"We will need to make sure we do not do the same as a lot of clubs – spend a lot and end up back in the Championship.
"We are the only club in the Premier League from this part of the country and we want to stay there."
