Harry Redknapp has moved to rein in Pompey fans' expectations ahead of the new season.
Redknapp admitted he would love to break into the Premier League's top six.
But he felt that would be a massive task with a string of well-backed clubs vying for those spots.
And he insisted it would take a £100m transfer war chest for his team to be able break into the Champions League places.
Redknapp said: 'I can't see anyone breaking the top four this season.
'I think Villa will go close and will be a danger to everyone. They will be a top-six side. That is where we want to be as well.
'But there are so many good sides, proper sides, who will be there or thereabouts.
'Villa and Spurs are nailed on for that kind of finish. After that there is Everton, ourselves, West Ham, Newcastle and Blackburn who are all going to be there.
'As for the top four, you'd have to spend £100m to break their stranglehold.'
