What parts of the rebuild process are going well for you?
We've removed a huge chunk of the wage bill, that was spent on players who just weren't justifying that expenditure. While our income has dropped by half we just couldn't afford to be wasting so much of it.

We've reduced the average age of the squad significantly, and we are trying to bring youngsters though. Some may not ultimately make it at this level, but they have a far better chance if we actually try.

Yes we aren't going to be in the hunt for promotion this season, and possibly not even next, but to continue as we were would have been madness. If we can stay around midtable in this division while the squad gets such an extreme overhaul then I'd consider that a big success.
That should then be a platform to push for more - if we have got rid of the premier league wages and old players, if we have developed 3 or 4 players to be good at this level then we can look to concentrate our remaining funds on the other players and have another go.
I'd say we are probably bang on schedule. Narrowly losing a game away at Coventry doesn't change that.
