Well next summer will no doubt be the acid test
The wage bill should be down, we've made our big sales to plug the gap, we should be somewhere approaching sustainability in terms of the wage bill to turnover ratio.
If the club is serious about building a team to move forward then Lewis, Aarons and Godfrey should feature in most of this season in one way or another. Pinto is a liability defensively anyway so i see no reason why we should not persist with Aarons.
If they all play and perform well which i would expect to be the case I could see all three attracting interest in the summer and that will be the key test in terms of this new strategy because if we sell them at the first opportunity then the whole thing is pointless as we will just be starting again every summer.
But yes i would also agree Farke needs to do more to try and establish some partnerships out there and to build some understanding. We do tend to chop a change a lot in key areas, sometimes admittedly enforced.
