Based on that, if I look at all recruitment under the brothers since they bought the club, in general they've done an absolutely fantastic job and I really don't remember a time when recruitment was better.

Right now the squad is a bit weak. That's really bad timing. But it's likely that even with no new signings the current squad will become a L2 killer. Still some newbies finding their feet and yeah, absolutely, odds are one or two recent signings don't work out. That's a WAAAY better ratio than the previous several owners'.

So overall I'm not concerned about the long term, although promotion this season is looking somewhat far-fetched at this stage. Which is disappointing because it was looking within reach not so long ago.
Logical and well considered insights. I don't mind if we don't go up. I don't think we are ready to. The rebuilding required for L1 would be astronomical.
