Re: Worried more about next season
Let's start with the group of players who'll have no intention of playing in the Championship then: fire away Amdouni and Tresor for starters. They'll be gone as soon as their agents can get them out. For different reasons I don't expect either Berge or Odobert to drop down with us as they've both ...

Everything was positive. It won't be like that in the summer. The epic failure of this season will have...
