We are talking about "if we don't go up". We have a number of players on a one year deal. SL clubs start signing players from the summer onwards. We may find ourselves starting the playoffs with a hand full of players already signed for a SL club but without it being known.
My fear is that we may lose GOB, Gaskell, Sidlow, Lauaki, Addey and a many more if they all do really well this year and shine. After all, Green has consistently said we have a SL squad here. If you tell everyone you have quality goods then people will look in the shop window.
It is simple to me. We must go up this year and Green and Jimmy have to keep talking to our top players and persuade them not to be tempted by other clubs in July if they come calling - or at least do a deal to leave if we don't get promoted but stay if we do.
