This. It's not like we just settle for mid-table this season (which most of us are happy with anyway) and then push for promotion next year, I think you have to push every year, and then hopefully you'll get it at some point. Cardiff prove every year just how difficult it is.I think a strong push for the play offs this season (whether me make it or not) will help in recruiting the players needed for a serious promotion push next season.
If we finish lower mid table, we won't be such an attractive option as a team who just missed out on promotion.
