I don't think it makes sense to be not trying to get promoted so its not really a choice.
We have assembled a squad who could at least compete to be in the top 6, thats what we have to keep striving for regardless of takeover.
The bigger issue is what we do if we got promoted (with or without takeover).
We didn't help ourselves by selling Ndaiye and Berge last season, but in all honesty, would keeping these two have made a blind bit of difference?
The gap is so big, if we do get promoted we either need a tight knit squad in the hope that we can add one or 2 quality and scrap for survival, or we make wholesale changes with as big a budget as we can.
I think our squad this year is great but how many would be PL quality... Hamer and Blaster are the only 2 that I would be confident in. But I don't like the way teams get promoted and then sell the players that achieved that. Doesn't sit well with me.
