It comes across as the Trust's wish list of hopes/ideas/proposals and dreams. Nothing wrong with having dreams of course but the presentation seems short of the practical means of achieving these.
I'm not at all sure what the Trust is actually asking WNC to do?
Probably because there aren’t any practical measures that will guarantee a team to achieve massively beyond the size and income of the club. When it boils down to it football is a sport and there’s so much luck involved in appointing the right manager at the right team who gets lucky with their recruitment. We appoint Gary Johnson and he’s a big failure, he then goes to a smaller club in Yeovil and takes them to the championship. Of course people will say ‘Look at team ‘x’ are their overachieving we should be doing what they are’ even though the different team that was their the flavour of the month a few years back has since been relegated back to their natural level.
In my time supporting the club the closest we’ve been to the championship was the play off final defeat to Grimsby, was that under the best manager I’ve seen?, far from it, was it with the best players I’ve seen at the club?, very far from it. There’s nothing wrong with having goals, looking at what you’re doing and trying to do it better, but the thing is pretty much every other team is doing the same. I’m sure I’ll be accused of ‘setting for mediocrity’ but having a certain amount of pragmatism helps fans from getting eaten up with what they want for the club as there probably 40-50 teams who’s fans think they should be in the prem, with nearly all the rest thinking they should be in the championship.
