I'd think VVD's signing is the first step in the right direction.
Hopefully, we'll announce a marquee signing right off the bat to signal our ambition. That should stem the outflow due to uncertainty.
I guess Saint Charlie's intent is also to rally the fans' appreciation for the midfield monster's contribution... With a positive fan atmosphere, he might be encouraged to stay given the other pull factors of club ambition. At the very least, he'll leave like Lambert, and not via throwing a strop.
