We had to gamble this season though.

Maybe the extent of it is quite big (for us anyway), but had to have a go.

If we go down though,

1 - parachute payments must give us a one season chance to come back up
2 - we have enough players worth a bit of money to help us, Todd, Max, Kenny
3 - I reckon we have some players coming though that would be fine if we needed to fire sale
4 - I bet Webber is on the worst scenario
