Maybe, but we seemingly can't get out of the cycle of collecting loads of waifs and strays and spending the same money anyway.
Ultimately in a footballing sense we're in a bad way; a rookie manager, no assistant, a one day a week coach, a goalie coach who may or may not stay (depending on whether his house sells, apparently), virtually no scouting network and an old school field to train on. Oh yes, we don't have the spending power to sign the mythical 'small, quality squad'.
Why should we expect things to be going well?
To me we feel like a semi-pro club with full-time players.

Shows how important it was to have got it right in Jan. Our one chance blown. If our first signing is anything to go by, we are heading nowhere fast.
