A club like ours is forever going to be governed by ffp. A small ground and a small fanbase doesn't generate the necessary income to compete in the transfer market at this level. There are exceptions to that theory, Luton Town as an example or Brentford. Both were/are run with a good business model, a good manager and a very good recruitment process. Brentford scoured the foreign market for cheap imports, often selling for profit but with the replacement already in line. Luton, when they last played us had 4 strikers in the matchday squad all capable of starting. We only had Dykes. They are now in a position to improve their ground and even if relegation come then they will be in a better position to bounce back.
We are years and years away from even getting close to those two teams, if ever to be honest. We are literally operating as a league 1 or even league 2 club. My expectations of this season are to be relegated, especially with no signs of any tactics or identity from Ainsworth. I believe the rebuild will start in league 1 which could take a few seasons of mediocrity there. It is what it is, it's the direction our owners have steered us towards.
