The current strategy seems to be: keep costs to a minimum, sell the occasional gem, cash in from the occasional cup run. That way they can give the investors some sort of return without asking for more investment. That we stay in League one or maybe two, is probably taken into account in return for stability. In other words, NOPM from many fans - alone from the mediocre league standing - is already planned in and therefore will not set SISU under extra pressure.

For someone that is not interested anymore you seem to crave a lot of attention.
At least you have some time now to think about your next excuse for not going if SISU fuck off...

Isn't that the strategy for the majority of Football League clubs?
Because people can't look past SISU they fail time and again to recognise that the idea of trying to balance your books, sell hot prospects from your youth system, and cash boosts from cup runs is something that is going on in a lot of clubs in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th tier.

Yep, I read about this in the secret footballer and he was speaking to people investing in football clubs and this was the generic football business plan. It relied on bringing through good youth players and selling them on to bring in the money.
Yes, I agree entirely. I can't see things getting any better in terms of ambition in the short term - unless someone with loads of money who wants to make himself popular in Cov comes along. That would be pure chance and very unlikely.
