Dissapointing yesterday - but not unexpected - Martin has us sussed.
Agree about Georginio, Not good enough for the prem and always on his arse for us, he isn't a 10 and his finishing is appaling.
But not all doom and gloom in my opinion.
Personally believe the 49ers did due dilligence - and though they wanted promotion i am certain that they have plans in place to mitigate the FFP problems - that doesn't involve selling all our players in the event we didn't make it in the first year - think they WILL expect us to get promoted NEXT season so will want to hold on to the core of the squad and add a few.
I reckon Somerville, Gnonto, Roberts, Anthony and Rodon maybe Joffy and a couple of other fringe players may leave - but we will keep the core and if we recruit as well as we did last season we will be ok IMO
Also, look on the bright side - I will bet anyone that we win more games next season than any of the promotoed three - who will ALL struggle in the prem - as would we had we sneaked up - and ours will be an easier league next season than this with the three that came down nowhere near as good as the three promoted clubs.

Have a break from footy now and look forward to next season for me anyway.
