12 months too late .
This time last year whilst we were still riding the crest of a wave was the time .
Hypothetical I know but on the field and the feel good factor surrounding the club we may have kept many of the departed players .
That is of course assuming that the chinese are wanting the club to be successful on the pitch and not in the bank account .
Saying that , if the new owners had sold every last man jack and broke up a young exciting team within a few months and spent very little in return then the support would have wanted them out pronto .
Funny old game innit .
