So true stoatey, we need somebody to come in who can pick up gems and rough diamonds from lower leagues.
As it stands you are correct that we are assured to be going down next season. Do doubt about it. From 30 June currently we'd have almost no defence, a midfield that has never managed to get us above a 16th placed finish even on its good days and a strike force of Smith, Oteh and Smyth.
Every soundbite that comes out of the club indicates there will be no splashing the cash or taking a risk on paying big sums to gamble on promotion. That suggests to me that unless we sell Freeman and/or Luongo (or anybody else that gains interest) there won't be money to spend aside from redistributing the money saved after losing some of the bigger earners.
In the last 23 games making up half a season we've picked up 20 points. If we carry that into next season we'll be lucky to hit 40 points and will go down. The club is at a real crossroads.
