Good, attractive football would be enjoyable and good to watch, but everyone wants and expects Wxm gain promotion from the NL so league standing is the biggest factor.

Just a small but important point. For WFC in the fifth tier, the target should not be anything less than top. Top 3 is marginal underperformance versus target, play offs is barely acceptable underperformance. Below play offs is totally unacceptable, irrespective of who owns the club. A low target generally leads to lower expectation and performance standards resulting in lower delivery.
For me, good football and promotion are not mutually exclusive. The best sides in most leagues are usually more than able to look after themselves when needed as well as being able to play a bit.
I agree with much of your post but clarity on requirement versus achieved outcomes is vital for success in any endeavour.
