Got to choose promotion just for the extra revenue, although to be competitive expenditure on wages etc would have to improve. If we then did badly and came back down we'd be in danger of having our better players picked of by Championship teams who'd now know certain players were capable of that level. At the moment they're unknown quantities.
Which of your options leaves 12 months at St Andrews, SISU for 5 years or Andy Thorn.
Andy Thorn is just no.
Another 12 months at St Andrews would really start to affect crowds as the novelty will have tottaly worn off. Probably do alright at start of the season in the warm but massively tail off in winter.
Which leaves SISU. Let's face it their not going anywhere and are going to have the court issue for some time. besides which none of the potential bidders seen much better so as we're likely to be stuck with them anyway we may as well do it in a higher division.
And no - I can't believe I made that choice either.
