I reckon so.
Most of us were realistically expecting a midtable finish, 10th would have been a good achievement, so to still be in the playoff race with a few games to go was certainly postive I thought.
So if SISU were to back him financially, I think he will take us back to the championship.
Whether it's as champions or via playoffs depends on the value of the backing, and whether we are able to sell season tickets anytime soon...

They are having a training camp in an Army Barracks near Aldershot. It's already booked. I know because I work there.

With Chelsea having the transfer embargo re-affirmed, then I think the really big money, £50/60m might now be down to £25/30m if we are now talking about Everton.

Chelsea will appeal which almost certainly means the ban won't be in effect this summer as it will be put on hold while the appeal takes place.

Chelsea transfer ban: Fifa rejects Premier League club's appeal
Chelsea transfer ban: Fifa rejects Premier League club's appeal

Done and dusted. Announced yesterday I think.

Although it does say another appeal, but I don’t know if they can actually sign players while they wait for that one.

Chelsea statement | Official Site | Chelsea Football Club
'Chelsea FC categorically refutes the findings of the FIFA Appeal Committee. It acted in accordance with the relevant regulations and will appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).'

From what I can make out every similar case that's been referred to CAS has been stayed so Chelsea will be OK to sign players over the summer as there's no way the appeal will be completed that quickly.

Surely he showed us he was capable of promotion last season when he got us promoted.

Bit rubbish really. Just a tactic. And probably means the million decent kids they’ve got STILL won’t get a chance for them.

Has the man who achieved our only promotion in my lifetime shown he’s capable of getting promotion?

Has the man who achieved our highest ever L1 finish first season up shown he’s worth backing in L1?

Agree, it’s a tough one.

We finished higher when we came up from the old Division 4 in 58/59 season. We finished 2nd in Division 4 and 5th in Division 3 59/60 season. But agree we need to back Robins or we could lose him

I don’t think D3/4 in the 50s is comparable to L1 in 2019, but I take your point.

It's doubtful SISU would make the decision to 'go for it' when they haven't even decided where we'll be playing.
They've also said the club must be self-supporting so I can't see them investing in the team unless we get a windfall of income.

Ok take your word for it. Don't think it's the same place as Coventry have never been here before. Perm refs had their pre-season there about 10 years ago and England Women's egg chasers were there last year but no CCFC before.

Fact they mentioned hurdles in statement is a bad thing imo. Theres no benefit to saying it publically othet thsn being rdy to say blsme them not us

Which may well be true but doesnt seem to tie in with insider leaks of very positive talks
