Mafeking Avenue........gets you there!!!!
Although we're all expecting Ollie and Said to go (and both are arguably in our top 5 players of all time......??) I don't think anyone will be 'distraught' if/when they go. This is probably due to us being a lot more comfortable in understanding how we need to operate/confident in the replacements we'll bring in.
Bearing that in mind I'd be surprised if anyone thought that losing both/either was the end of the world.
For me, the worst I've felt over a sale was Jota to BrumScum. It came at a time when (unlike our Third/Fourth Tier days where we "needed" to sell the likes of Deano, Bliss, Sinton, DJ, McCulloch, Forster etc. etc.) I thought we were really starting to compete, and were on at least a level par with them. Particularly having seen Harlee and Maxim go to them previously too.
Ultimately it proved to be the start of what we're seeing now, as we replaced with better, but at the time, I thought it was really tough to take....
