The thing that disappoints me about this season....

Is that we’ll lose a lot (or some at least) of our best players on relegation.

I wouldn’t be as bothered if we were going to hang on to them and continue the journey we’re on. It doesn’t feel like this squad has hit its peak.

Although promotion came earlier than planned, because squads don’t stay together for a long time, I think we had to make a sensible gamble and capitalise on the success when it came.

Worried we’ll be going back to square one next season

        How much are the debts that we have? (n/m) (NCFC) - Azteca, Jan 1, 20:41:42
        
        Not sure. But presumably loans need to be payed off after the facility improvements (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jan 1, 20:45:45

        It's not a court of law just an opinion. It's based on previous transfer windows in the Ch (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jan 1, 21:47:50
