We want the joy of having a successful season

And we know what success in the champs looks like. It's nice and simple and doesnt require much soul searching.

Which sadly by necessity ends up with promotion to a league where we cant agree on what success looks like and requires too much introspection to decide what we actually want out of watching football/supporting the club (style? Results? Being David or trying to be Goliath? Developing our own stars or buying in fading names? Etc etc).

Which sucks a lot of the joy out of it.
