Sadly I think you lose the guys you'd really like to keep and retain the ones nobody wants, although I think the list of players we'd like to retain is dropping as each match passes. I'd be really sad to see Fozzie leave (I'm not sure he will) and I'd also like to retain Brunt, a fit Jimmy Morrison, Yacob, Rodgriguez and GMac as I think they would have an excellent influence on younger players coming through (in Jimmy's case, he'd obviously be "the muscle", just ask Saido).Of the players touted as probably leaving, I'd be sad to see Dawson and Hagazi leave but they will. As for the rest, away you go! Sadly, we'll probably be stuck with Robson-Kanu, Livermore, Nyom etc. Having said that, there seem to be teams interested in Rondon for some reason whilst Evans should have been sold in January.

I honestly think if we appoint the right manager- young , ambitious and wanting to play attacking football- and if he builds a team based upon youth and experience (I think we have a good stock of both), then the Championship can be a positive and entertaining experience. Let's face it, some of our best match days have been in the Championship, most of our worst ones (excepting some great one off) have been in the PL.

I think how we manage the next few months before the start of the next season and the appointments we make will be critical in determining whether the club grows or declines. I'm still hopeful
