I am pretty confused by that one.
Barrow are a unique one because they lost their manager in the summer. They’re probably the smallest (non-monied) club to go up for ages, changed managers three times or something throughout the season. And they still stayed up.

I don’t think you’re right about the teams below us having no resources either. Chesterfield, Bromley, Solihull, Dagenham and Boreham Wood all have plenty of ££ behind them. Solihull and BWood have been spending for years, they’re similar to the likes of Fleetwood, Crawley and Forest Green who’ve bought their way out before, but this league is far more stacked at the top now than it was five years ago.

Dunno about Sutton, depends if they can keep Gray and most of their team together. If they do I suspect they’ll be fine.
