Agreed mon ami. If we don't get promoted this season I think the brown stuff will hit the fan and no mistake.

Not winning promotion will mean Trafford, Tresor (no great loss), Esteve and Koleosho will all be sold and looking at carefully squad wise we don't have the proper replacements for them in our current squad. If we win promotion I reckon Brownhill and Egan Riley might stay and from a financial point of view we won't need another fire sale.

There is an awful lot riding on the final eight games...
