Then neither can he.

What we can do is judge them on today and if anyone thinks Carlisle are a decent side based on that performance then they clearly haven't a clue. They were as bad going forward as we were at the back and that is saying something because we were a shambles at the back.

People keep saying the ran through us…so did they run through us or were they bad going forward? Which is it?

Their finishing was poor, yes…but you could argue that with a decent striker they’d be set & a good competitive team

Seemed to be the overwhelming consensus from what I read on various platforms.

Ok - but I don't think that was the case here.

The TEF pre-season average prediction was 9th

Not that people would be happy with 9th I'm sure, but I think a lot of people were a bit wary of this season.

So last year a large section of supporters were running with the idea that we just needed to survive, clear the debts, get out of the embargo and push on next season.

Now next season is here, and a poster is telling us we're now having the season we were supposed to have last year.

So which one is it? and at which point will you now be satisfied that we should be competing in the top 7?

Genuinely I am curious now. Is it when the debt is 0? Is it once we've purchased the ground? is it once we've sold a few players for profit?

At what point are we allowed to demand being competitive?

If we don't have much money to spend how an earth would we have competed in league one.

Agreed.

That is ignoring recruitment and staff, just based on the history of this club.  Whether current ownership like it or not, that is what the fan base as a whole will expect.

That expectation also rises when the club advertise a 40% budget increase, regardless of at what level that was.

To be fair it hasn't been mentioned that the playing budget has been increased by 40% its more likely to cover the overall cost of running the football club.

If we can't compete on or off the pitch with about 95% of this league then I despair.
