This.
League position is temporary, the stadium and its facilities are permanent.
Plus attracting players is linked to the standard of facilities anyway. Upping sticks to come to Plymouth is a hard decision in the first place, imagine coming all the way to HP and seeing your new place of work is a crumbling and dilapidated hulk of concrete.
Not as simple as that because football in the non league with a shiny gin palace and no crowds doesn't pay the new bills either.
There has to be a balance. Sadly in the past when we have had the chance to push on and up the leagues the owners have always been too conservative. How many January transfer windows have we seen quality players leave or players not added to the squad to get over the line.
Sometimes you have to take a calculated risk.
Not many teams in League 1 have crowds like us or big budgets and TBH with DA's record I'm not sure I would want him handling my £500k for players
