Assuming good planning; a will (with attached way); adequate funding; a team with a spine and we can reasonably expect to be in the top ten of the NL.
All of the above with decent funding – playoffs beckon.
All of the above but with inadequate funds for solid backup – the lower reaches are our destination.
We are entering a different culture from which promotion is always difficult. Too many teams in the NL have loadsa money. If it’s just a couple – with a fair wind from behind, a bit of luck and a proper budget? – Maybe we could steal a slot.
But bouncing back in one go is not especially likely. Two proper goal scorers required to be realistic and … where the blazes will they come from?
