I was wondering to myself where our Club will be in 5 years. Championship? Oblivion? We can all speculate as much as we like but our future is, and probably will be, in the hands of others, including those who make transfer decisions at other clubs and a bloke in Dubai.

We have Simmo for 3 years. Will he last that long? Sign on for longer? Who knows.

Anyway, I’ve consulted Old Griff’s Almanac and here’s what I reckon. A bit of football fortune will allow the debt to be paid off, cementing the Three Horsemen into place for the foreseeable future. Simmo will eventually get us promoted but, suffering from vertigo, the Three will fail to come up with the budget to keep us there and we’ll be relegated the following season. Simmo will resign as a result, a tinpot manager will replace him and we’ll end the 5 years exactly where we are now. Would you bet against it?

So what do you lot think?
