Huge difference between being realistic and being actively negative.

So anticipating we'll go up to tier 3 is being actively negative?????

Just like I have no idea what the actual wealth is behind them is, where it comes from, how much they are prepared to spend on NCFC, what their overall aim is, what they believe the ceiling is under their ownership, what their exit strategy/point is etc.

It's all guesswork .

If we've struggled to keep up with the spending power of the likes of Wrexham, Stockport, Chesterfield and Solihull for the past 4 years. then I can't see us competing with the likes of Bolton, Reading, Barnsley and Portsmouth. The further up you go, the more important spending power becomes. Hopefully it won't be in tier 4 where that becomes all too apparent, but I think it has to become an issue in tier 3 with the size of clubs we're now seeing at that level on a regular basis.

In fairness, we are now a league above Chesterfield and Solihull, so spending isn’t everything. Agree with you, though, that the playing field gets less level the higher up you go.
