Fair comment, these clubs are having good periods but PSR rules work better for the clubs with higher commercial revenues. Basically there’s a financial spend power / order brought about by PSR. Financial sustainability rules may stop clubs spending beyond their means but they also make it harder for a lower revenue club to challenge against the bigger clubs, (even if the club owners has the money (is the point). Looking at the NL would place us way down the list of spending power (even with some clubs in the leagues below) and unless we increase commercial incomes / crowds significantly we would have reduced budget for the squad.

Now we are back in non-league i don't think so.
Taking Boreham Wood out of the equation the standard of football across the league is very poor.
That still leaves a play off place for another club even though their all crap according to you
