My issue is saying one thing and doing another.

It seems like we are stuck between the need for short term success and gratification and a long term rebuilding plan.

My hope is we get to the point where we can't get relegated but can't make the playoffs and use the last 10 games to really use the players who will be here next season.

Im still very concerned that at this level we have inexperienced Owners, SD and Coach.
And we are spending large sums on players who are a bit unproven at this level.
If this goes tits up we could be in LG1 in no time with massive debts.
