Fail to get promoted and any player with ambition to play at a higher level will inevitably question whether the Club and Tisdale really have the same ambition and will look to move on. We could therefore lose JMT, Pym and possibly also Troy Brown, Stockley and Holmes. Some might say the latter would be no great loss but in my view, although he can blow hot and cold and be very frustrating, he is a quality player.
Should this happen we will be left with the bare bones of a squad which if not strengthened significantly would see us spending the season at the wrong end of the table. Unless some gems appear from out of the ranks of the academy or we end up being awarded a decent wedge by the eventual Ethan tribunal we are very unlikely to be challenging for a promotion place.
If we somehow succeed in getting promoted then the players mentioned above would probably all stay with the Club. However even with them staying there would have to be significant comings and goings within the squad if we were to have any hope of avoiding going straight back down again.
My concern would be that unlike Evans, who love him or hate him has a more than decent record of achieving promotion at higher levels than League One and is not afraid to go into a Club and make wholesale changes, Tisdale is very cautious does not like taking risks and as much as it would be necessary to do so is unlikely to take what he would perceive to be such drastic action. All this now begs the question is Tisdale the man to steer the Club through the choppy waters that now lie ahead.
