On the positive side, the club has received decent transfer money and cut the wage bill so you're much nearer to operating within your means and believe me that is paramount. Building a new team takes time and it's nigh impossible to evaluate where the team is at until a couple of months into the season so all you can do is try to have faith in the owners and manager - and keep the bedsheets on standby
Helluva tough division the Championship - even League 1 has some big hitters - but personally I reckon Kompany will get you moving in the right direction again, given time.
