It's all in what you aim for.
I aim for promotion, I have a disrespect for Cups, I'm not bothered about being champion of the current division, I'm happy with a playoff place and to get up on penalties...promotion's my aim, at the neglect of all else.
I have no interest in finances, that's up to the board, if I'm sacked...which I frequently have been in the past two incarnations, I adhere to the "pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again" ism.
Back to back is possible, it's never pretty, but possible...but realistically I'd aim for two seasons in each division.
That's as close to a tip as you'll get in here
