However, casualties are likely as some of the club's lower-grade teams and players consider leaving if they face steep fee hikes.
Caversham, one of the oldest and proudest clubs in the South, is months overdue on a $10,000 debt to FootballSouth, and has a special meeting next week to finalise its plan to avoid going under.
Fleming, the coach during the club's greatest era, is leading the rescue attempt and is feeling a lot more optimistic now than when the full scale of the debt was revealed.
''I think everything is in place. Everyone knows the situation,'' Fleming said.
''We've put it to our teams that the fees are going to be hiked, and left it up to them to decide what they want to do. A couple have said it will be too tough for them to play higher fees, and we have to accept that and wish them all the best.
''We feel we're in a position to trade our way out. We've just got to put the package together to show the federation we have a plan.
''I'm pretty positive we'll have at least a few teams playing for Caversham, and we'll be able to clear that debt.''
Caversham has scheduled a special meeting for February 25 to go over the details of the rescue plan.
Fleming said some supporters had come forward with donations. The club was also considering what to do with some of its assets, including floodlights.
It would sadden the club's fans, given the senior side's recent success, but Caversham may also consider not entering the Chatham Cup, as a run of wins leads to major bills.
Fleming was ''a bit disappointed'' FootballSouth had started to charge Caversham interest on the debt.
