I think this is going to run and run to be honest with you. The question is, is there evidence of things improving so that we will at least be in the play offs? Whether that be better players, more suitable tactics, better spririt and commitment whatever.
Or maybe some people think that 8th in this league is ok?
The problem is that while some people don't like saying it we are a big club (bigger resources) in htis league. By that I mean last season our attendances were roughly double that of nearly half the clubs in this league (and paying the highest prices). As such we are going to win games. We can afford players like Reeves and Clee where others can't.
Of course, in a one off game like Vauxhall we can lose but generally as we saw last season you'll beat teams like Hinckley, Workington etc (couldn't bring myself to say Histon!). So, we're never likely to be in a position where we lose 5 or 6 on the trot and it becomes an open and shut case. On that basis, LS could manage us for the next decade in this league, which takes us back to my first point. Is there over a longer term, clear signs of improvement to the standards to which we aspire?
As for what longer term is, that could go on forever.
