Think I agree Locky. It's a big rebuild job no mistake and probably one that's going to take multiple seasons. I'm definitely a bit more at ease than I was when it seemed like it was a revolving door of people leaving but don't quite fancy us to go up just yet and if we do go up not sure we have the quality to stay up. If it's a choice of going up this season and coming right back down or going up next with a bit more of a chance of staying up I think I'd prefer the latter. Some of the signings look like they would be good for the Championship but not enough of the squad to make me feel like we'd be able to compete if we did go up at the moment.Locky_McLockface wrote: ↑Tue Aug 03, 2021 1:45 pm I've got to be honest, at the start of the summer, with all the people exiting, and very few entering, I would have agreed with him. However, Ogilvie apart, he hasn't mentioned any of our signings, so it strikes me that he hasn't done so much research on us as he has the other teams. I am hoping that we'll prove him soundly wrong, although I do think we'll probably struggle to get in the playoffs.

Re: League One review don’t fancy us
I like to think that if we did go up we'd strengthen quite significantly, but I just don't know with the Eisners...they don't seem to be willing to spend anything on the playing side other than what we generate.
Re: League One review don’t fancy us
I agree here. I don't believe you have to spend big to get promoted out of League One. A decent base of talent, some good form, good luck and hard work should be enough. But I do believe you have to spend to stay in the Champs. I think if we do get promoted from a 'sustainable' budget, then we'll be able to eat certain contracts of those we need to replace without it punishing us too badly in the accounts ledger.Betelgeuse wrote: ↑Tue Aug 03, 2021 4:13 pm I like to think that if we did go up we'd strengthen quite significantly, but I just don't know with the Eisners...they don't seem to be willing to spend anything on the playing side other than what we generate.

Re: League One review don’t fancy us
The thing is that if we were to go up that would mean our team is too good for League 1. That would mean we would belong in the league above, in other words Championship standard. However, I don't think that will come into it because I think we will be mid table next season. The excuse/reason has been given already by telling us it will take 3 transfer windows to get the team that the manager wants. Three windows really means two seasons. So next season it's mid table followed by a season of improvement. After that we go for gold. I hope I am wrong of course and, as they say, it's a funny old game which could see us storm up the table from the off and win the league. We go up and money bags Wigan and Ipswich get relegated.
