Well - if we want a "championship" team - how many must we release. But I suspect - with the chairmans ambition he'll be buying "championship" players to take league one by storm with many of them ready for the transition upwards.
I suspect that's the plan and I bet that he' won't be looking for non-league diamonds.
Time will tell.

Evans is not daft. He chooses his jobs very carefully. History shows that he goes to clubs that have financial clout relative to the competition in the league they are in. Boston and Crawley had huge resources compared to their non-league rivals. We were a relative sleeping giant in League Two with Mr Stewart backing us. Leeds is a huge club that is underachieving. Mansfield have John Radford bankrolling them - very progressive at their level. Now Peterborough who have flip-flopped between League One and The Championship and have an owner prepared to invest to try and get them back up. If the owner backs Evans and allows him to pay fees, signing on fees and good wages I expect them to do well next season. Watch out for the usual merry go round of players coming in, playing a handful of times and getting moved out, which all burns money along the way, but with backing he ought to do well. The bigger question is what they will look like after they go up and whether Evans will be able to do anything in a league where others have bigger budgets, and what Posh will look like in three years time if they allow Evans to chase the dream for them because history also shows that Evans knows when to move on and that what he leaves behind is not always that pretty.
Unless that investment pays off like Huddersfield?
The problem is reaching for the dream and the ladders too short.....a long way to fall for those that go balls out and fail....
I've heard of going ar5e over t!t but not the expression ' a long way to fall for those that go balls out and fail'. Predictive texting can be a flikking nightmare.
Shouldn't over reach on a short ladder....RUFC need a longer ladder but those cost too much. I think we've stuck with the safety of a step ladder therefore we accept only reaching the lower shelves.
