I know a lot of people are expecting them to be the next Chester and are doomed already, but if they are ok financially next season, surely the next managerial appointment is very important. Personally I think if the club take the view that this league is very difficult to get out of, and see promotion as a challenge rather than a formality they could well get promoted, as long as they appoint the right manager.
By that I mean someone who has done it before and knows the league well, unlike Steve Staunton, or Dean Saunders. Perhaps someone like Mark Cooper would fit the bill
Interesting possibility. I'd expect him to be back either at League 2 or Conference level next year, so that could happen.
