    If by a miracle we were somehow promoted to the prem, we would be an attractive proposition in comparison to other clubs already in that league when you look at an up front valuation.

    I'd rather cut our cloth accordingly and try to remain sustainable which means becoming a solid mid table championship team. I don't think we could operate at our current league 1 level without drastically downgrading the wage bill and other expenditure.

    Yes, Sheik al-gerrumin-next, who has Harems in Kendray, Lundwood and Tarn end, has expressed an interest should we get promotion. He is encouraged by the response of fans that he has already canvassed in both Wetherspoons and The Chennells

    More chance of my Grandkids taking over. Both Mucky arabs if that helps.

    I really hope not. I'd stop going if we became a soulless sportswashing front.

    What's a mucky Arab? Is it a middle eastern gentleman who doesn't wash or a Saudi chap who likes naughty bedroom antics. Personally I've always preferred rich blokes who like non-alcoholic drinks with money in dairy cattle. My favorite was a milk sheikh from a few years ago. Blimey that joke was hard work...:)
