They will hit a brick wall eventually, or become disillusioned. I'd anticipate that will happen in tier 3 once they realise they can't do any better than outside the play offs, then I suppose it depends what the market is like for buying football clubs and how far down those with ambition are prepared to look - which will dictate whether it's to be a smooth transition to new ownership with the necessary clout to progress further or falling back into tier 4 as we become desperate to find a buyer, similar to the Trew scenario.
