Basically we have to wait until we get a billionaire owner in who won't worry about losses and leaving us where we were not so long ago.
Unless someone finds us players capable of making the grade for free/peanuts and get a huge sell on (not plymouth prices) we won't be stopping long in that league.
It is in effect a Premier B league now, the money in the game these days are ridiculous, this is why so many clubs crash so badly (Derby the latest) and some (Bury) go to the wall.
As much as we would like a reset in football it's not going to happen, look at the pandemic shut down, it still made little difference to the big clubs.
Championship football is possible but for just a season maybe two but we will fall back to league one and the possibility of a double relegation.
This probably explains why Simon is upgrading the stadium (resale value) rather than waste money on players!
I cannot think that Hallett has any alternative motive in upgrading the stadium other than improving if for future use.
The club is being run as a business. Improvements are being made to improve our stadium now, when we can afford it, rather than increase our spend in the future when perhaps we will have a more pressing need for the money to be spent in other areas, eg player budgets.
Fans will always want every pound to be spent on players, but this has proven to be a very risky way of spending your profits, and can result in ultimately bringing down the club financially, as has been seen by the many clubs who have taken the risk and lost.
Realistic budgets have to be made and strongly stuck to.
Spending in order to maximise future profit has to take priority, always providing that the playing budget does not get squeezed. There is no evidence of this occurring here.
Both owner and manager will be able to sit down and work out what is required for the seasonal playing budget, with reserves available if required throughout the season.
Good businesses will look to ensure that the future is always sustainable, and that profit is spread throughout the club and not just in one particular area.
Common sense, really.
