We haven't got that time with carrick 6 or 7 years he will be long gone especially if we we cant match his ambitions.That factory phase in Crewe's existence ended 20 consecutive years in the 4th tier and ended with 8 seasons in the second tier, their first in 100 years.
If it gets us just the 1 promotion, I'll consider it a success.
I'd also add than neither Brighton nor Brentford's model gained them instant promotion.
It took Brighton 6 seasons and Brentford 7. We've been using their approach for less than a year. Ok, maybe we started from a higher position than them, but you probably have to go through 2 or 3 teams for it to work.
The Brentford team that went up looked very little like the team we beat in the playoffs under AK, and the likes of Maupy, Konza, Watkins and Behenrama (sp?) had all been and gone in the seasons in-between.
