I dare say that wasn't Scardinio's plan, nor Trew's nor Hardy's.

The current owners almost certainly have the same basic plan as previous owners, to move up the pyramid.
The current owners also have no more experience than any of the previous owners, post Pavis.

What I suspect (or hope) they do have that the previous owners did not have, is enough money to buy themselves time to work out how to run a football club and deal with all of the pitfalls that go with it.

Covid might be a spanner in the works however.
FRom the new Owners point of view, it does not surprise me that they are sticking with Ardley because of the following

1) That never saw how bad Ardley was in the relegation season, and how many of the same problems from that season remain
They have only seen Ardley only last season , which his performance was average to fair , given the huge backing he received

2) The fact Ardley relegated us to the National League, helped the owners, because it probably saved them a few million when they brought the club

3) They know his contract expires at the end of this season, and probably don,t want to pay him off
