Earlier in the season when the salary cap was there not going up this season would have been an absolute disaster for the future of this club.
Since the cap has gone it is now a very different prospect, if we go up we will spend a season trying desperately to build a team to survive. Likely to be journeymen and loans.
If we don't go up we have a full season still being a massive club at this level to try and build something. Blood youngsters and create a wave of positivity about the place.
Considering we have a new manager that has a history of putting together teams but he has come in so late, perhaps that is a better result in the long run |  |

Sounds weirdly familiar. Oh yeah, when Lambert came in and people were happy we got relegated so we could ''rebuild'' lol. |
I actually also think you can rebuild better in a league where the finances are significantly better. I'm not sure what positive being in this league another season brings other than another opportunity to excuse a manager and our owner for failure. |  | | |

I think the difference is in this league we’re vaguely competitive at the moment anyway (shockingly) so a sensible rebuild will see us promoted whilst being structurally sound. That’s the big hope. If we go up we’ll be paupers so we need to have a playing style, philosophy and everyone pulling in the same direction for us to succeed - can Cook implement that into a club in a matter of weeks, even though we’ve lacked at least some of those three requirements for at least five years? | |

Of course, but we'll have had two seasons in the third tier with no real progress on a rebuild. 3 seasons in here and we'll start to look like regulars and it's easy to be sucked in.
I think we could get promoted and relegated again but still be in a better position than simply staying in league one. | | | |

I don't know how this is a debate.
It's a choice between
(a) Do your recruitment and rebuild with £6m revenue and the promise of League One football.
(b) Do your recruitment and rebuild with £18m revenue and the promise of Championship football.
In scenario (b) you get better players and progress quicker. It isn't rocket science. [Post edited 18 Mar 2021 13:35]

Not aimed at you Blubbers but it does amaze me how many people here seem to think not succeeding is kind of success. |  |

Wow. This has the hallmarks of the "League one will be fun" "New grounds" and "better football without Mick" all over it. |
This, a post on here moaning about players having it easy and it's far to comfortable at the moment.
Now we have fans in the same boat.
Promotion at all costs please. | | | |

It’s all very well having £18m to invest when the opposition has £88m. The clubs who go up and do well have structure and pattern of play in place prior to going up. I trust Cook will manage it but I do question how long it will take him to do so. | |

League Two and you would still be telling us it is great. Cook gets 1 year only from me. |  |
