I kind of get what you mean TRO, but frankly we don't have time. It will be vastly better to get promoted this season and that means getting top 2 to be sure. Which means we need to hit the ground running and start the season fast. As we all know (and I hope RDM does), the squad needs an overhaul - at least half a dozen out and at least the same in. But this time, it needs to be a balanced squad, with a clear plan for how they're going to play and players recruited to fit that.
The longer we stay down, notwithstanding the loss of parachute payments, the more we will become a 'championship club' with that level of player and we have to avoid that. So for me the absolute minimum expectation is to be top 6 all season. Time for Dr X and RDM to deliver.
