Dare we dream of a play off season next year if ronnie is the one dealing with the retained list and has a few quid for wages? Would probably have to build a team on the cheap...

Similar was probably said exactly one year ago today as well...

Wycombe did it last season and when Ronnie came in he said promotion was the target next season no matter what league we are so we can only hope.

In Ronnie I trust!

he missed out on several transfer targets due to our league position when he took over so now with a fresh start he'll find it easier convincing players to come in, so should find it easier to strengthen the squad and should improve on that points per game ratio. i think thats the most remarkable thing he's done, strengthening the team enough to pull it off with such difficulty in the transfer market. if he can bring in players like tish, mirf, bird, bingham when were bottom of the league looking dead and burried, im confident he'll build a strong squad over the summer

hopefully he can get some of the dead weight previously mentioned off the wage bill

All depends if IOR are still at the reigns. We haven't challenged the play offs for some time now. If Ronnie stays we should be Mid table otherwise I fear another long season.

If we are genuinely for sale, surely now we've ensured league status we can find new owners.

His points per game ratio thus far would see us on about 57 or 58 points across a full season. So something around 14-15th.

He might be able to improve upon that with some investment, but big ask to go from 22nd to the top 5 or 6.

Much will depend as well on who is and isn't out of contract. If the likes of Miller, Bates, and Parnaby, were signed on 2 year deals he could be goosed.

In all fairness his points to games ratio is impressive as fuck. The squad he inherited were losing home games to blyth Spartans. He has turned us around. To be 10 points adrift and now be safe with a game to spare is nothing short of a miracle. Morgan aside he hasn't done much wrong. His signings scored goals and that's why we're safe. With backing the playoffs shouldn't be that far off. However ior Still own us so I only see a relegation battle next season. Can't wait for them to leave

I'd say just start the rebuilding process and obviously aim for promotion, but be aware that a top half finish is a very good improvement.

Top half would be great...........maybe with a few weeks of nearing the playoff zone but not quite!
