ideal situation

wigan do 'a norwich' and get relegated on the last day. Francis however, has a blinder of a season and scores a s**tload of goals and people start talking about him as the 'new vieira' again. Of course someone as prodigious as Damo couldn't possible lower themselves to play in the fizzy, so wigan sell him to a team like pompey for 4 or 5 million. We miss out on the 250k but pocket an additional 750k from the sell on clause. Total revenue from francis sale - almost 3 million. Not bad for a player who cost us peanuts.
