I think anyone thinking we can mount a challenge in league 1 next season is somewhat deluded. We are 100% relegated this season, that was always a definite with the threadbare squad we have, the -12 just solidifies this.
Next season in league 1, we will still have all the embargoes in place until 2027. Even if we have a rich new owner at that point we will still be restricted on wages and spending for some time. Plus, it's likely that the other large points deduction for Chansiri breaking every rule under the sun will be implemented next season rather than this one given we're already relegated this season.
Let's just hope we avoid relegation from league 1 to 2 in 2026/27 rather than having aspirations of promotion.
But generally, who cares? From today we have our club back. And from 2027/28 we're on our way back!
