The slight worry being that, if anything, we are even more transitional right now, what with the change of 'head coach' as well. The model dictates that we have to sell, but after three seasons in the division I don't feel that we are in a position where we can benefit from the continuity that you might expect from having played at this level for a while compared to a newly promoted club.
'The model', with developing and selling on, the use of lots of loan players, and bad luck with injuries all tend to work against team continuity both within and between campaigns.
But as you say the process repeats itself and works so long as the recruitment is right. But a bit more continuity would be nice.
