Seems a bit of a daft subject, but here's my take on it anyway.

I think we need to act NOW with a view to next season.
Punt Csaba for starters.

Get the manager IN NOW we want to start the new season off with. (my shout would be Yogi, as I see him as a Levein type who would do things his own way without interference and has proper contacts for players, not You Tube sensations).
Get him signing players he wants for the top league, not other clubs dead wood journeymen ready for League 1 or 2 football.
Pay the money required to get the right players for the Premier League to compete at that level.

AND....if we're not there, we will be making a very big statement to the rest of the Championship that our intention is to be there.

I think if the club act NOW, we'll at least sustain season ticket sales, who knows, with the right signings they may improve, AND we all know that even in the Championship if we were doing a Hibs or St Mirren (running away with it) we'd easily have home attendances of 6,500/7,000 every home game with a great atmosphere around the place.

And who knows, a good side may mean a good cup run and more income generated.
Plan for where you intend to be, not where you're stuck.
