Signing up our better prospects has to be an urgent priority in my opinion.....whilst we say we don't need to sell, we don't want to be getting turned over for a pittance whilst losing key players.
I know whilst Coley has said ( & rightly so ) that we won't be splashing out on new additions, we are hardly speculating by rewarding our own key performers with longer contracts and improved terms ( within our means obviously ). If players like that lad (whose name escapes me !!) from Exeter who went to Derby.... can attract a fee of £1.75 million, then what price would we put on the likes of Josh Windass...etc, etc ???
If we keep this side together; and keep the squad fit and free from suspension, there's no reason why we couldn't get an automatic spot this term.
The financial benefits of promotion to what is already a predominantly Northern based League 1 would keep this club moving forward and on to the next level. Those key players transfer values would then be worth a lot more if they were then performing at the higher level !!
A cup run would also boost the coffers, though that could also de-rail a promotion charge....for me I'd take promotion over a cup run !!
