Sure it can is right. Glad to hear it! Now that we know the plan and agree that it CAN work, then let's get down to it. No reason it can't work, so let's keep going and evaluate their progress WITHIN that strategy that can lead to success. Not measure them against some unrelated yardstick that is entirely outside of the working plan - in which there is agreement (and examples throughout the game history) that it can work.
Fans can wish all day for magical solutions and entirely different financial strategies, but it ain't happening. Step up to reality. This is what we have and will have for the forseeable future. There aren't going to be any pots of gold at the end of imaginary rainbows here. If we are going to be any good, we are going to have to earn it the old fashioned way. That's not unrealistic and certainly can be done. It is a workable path before us that can lead to somewhere positive, and now we just have to go down that road and judge what we see of that chosen strategy that can lead to success if executed well.
