The club might still be self funding if all goes well and achieve league status again. The dream though could easily be tarnished by over expectation.
A CEO of good standing, a director of football, a new management team and coaching staff, more paid staff, ground improvements, new training facilities.
Better(more expensive) players and their accommodation. £2million doesn't sound that much when these things are considered.
I trust R&R to be true to their word and inject the necessary funds but don't expect instant results. This season is likely to be written off unless we can get a new manager in who can turn things around and attract the players needed to do the job. Betting odds for next sesaon are likely to be short.

You will note i never suggested that we would get promoted this season. My only point is that £2m is sufficient to replace the current underperforming management structure and add some needed playing staff. The playoffs is an absolute possibility this season but i have been coming too long to take anything for granted.
