How long before we are out of this league?

RodneyCharltonTrottaRodneyCharltonTrotta
in General Charlton
Perhaps premature and I think the end of this summer's window will give a better insight so may bump it then but as it stands today:

a) Promotion within the next 2 full seasons (22/23 and 23/24)
b) Another 3 - 5 seasons
c) More than 5 seasons 
d) Promotion this year
e) We will get relegated before we get promoted

As it is today I would say b.

    Things can change quickly in football so I will go with option A.

    Gonna go with a) - with a focus on 23/24 - if only as I think this and next season will see quite a few of the stronger clubs go up, and our extremely good youth team will start featuring more and more

    A)

    We've got into a habit of getting promoted in the 3rd season back at this level, which would be next season

    It rather depends on who they're playing for.

    It’s really a how long is a piece of string question. Won’t be easy. We must target next season but it could take ?

    The only consolation I’m taking at the moment is that we will not have to endure a League One that involves a trip to Gillingham next season.

    B.

    Something feels different this time round. We’ve got a proper set up yet we seem to get everything wrong. Sheffield United have shown it’s very difficult to get out of this league, and bigger clubs are getting relegated every season. 

    Fingers crossed I’m wrong and we storm the league next season.

    A on the law of averages, due to the size of our wage bill.  The last two times we got promoted we had a top six wage bill. 

    The other 3 times we have had that we got in the play offs, this year is an outlyer.  We can't get it so badly wrong 3 summers in a row can we? 

    A better question would be how many managers will we have before we are promoted..... The last 2 times were 2 and 3.  We are on number 3 already.

    League one is now a boring relationship that we won't ever get away from. We will always end up back here.

    Neither of us love each other, but it's better then nothing and better then being homeless - (administration) just about.

    Promotion to the championship is and was Charlton simply just ...having an affair.

    It was pretty brief last time as "misses" league one found out pretty quick. She took us back... again, and didn't even seem angry about it this time. It was just "meh". I think deep down, she actually hoped the affair continued. 
    It was much of an enthusiastic welcome.

    We are currently out having a meal and can't even give each other eye contact. The relationship is getting worse and it is now only mostly rather mind numbing. 
    The kids have grown up, moved away and have completely lost interest in football.

    It has bit a bit of a rocky ESI couple of years for us though. Maybe a EFL marriage therapy is the answer? Who knows

    Starting to think SHE might dump me this time and I'd find myself in an inevitable league two relationship, that would just be the remake of Jeremy Kyle show toothless council estate hell.

    I need another beer

    I think season after next. Will see an improvement next year, play offs minimum requirement.

    B, I have little faith in the current team or management.

    Hope I’m wrong.

    Is there not an option for something that's measured in eons?

    Or does it just feel like that..?

    B, or never.

    The teams down here get bigger and the competition gets harder. I don't think it's been this competitive since when Leeds etc were down here.

    True, belief is just wearing a bit thin at the moment.

    Do they really though?
    Rotherham, Wycombe and Wigan are not clubs that I consider big even if they seem to be the standard now to meet.
    The teams at the top are no bigger and better than before. We are just getting worse and worse.

    Would have been (a) without the Nigel interference. The best we can hope for is (b).

    Personally, I think if we don't go up next year then there'll be a rethink on the plan. A load of football boardroom and business clichés and it'll be a 3-5 plan to stabilise the club as financially self sufficient as possible and establish as a top league one club edging up towards the championship - a Peterborough, MK Don's type. 



    Only slightly depressing to think we could end up aspiring to be the next Peterborough.
