Good summary, and one I tend to agree. Longer term it makes sense to own assets, increase value and sell.
It's why I've wondered all pre-season if those posters expecting top 2 (or even top 6) are perhaps expecting too much.
The model has changed, and the quality of the playing staff (probably) has too.
I've said before, we need to think of last season as a free hit - I'm sure Carrick's objective for last season was to actually keep the team up, and start measuring from this season.
I'm not saying we'll have a poor season or the players aren't good enough but I think we should largely be focused on comparing next season to this, rather than this to last (if that makes sense?!)
