This side would struggle in the National League but that’s academic because this side won’t actually be playing in the national league.
Most will be released or jump ship voluntarily if they get any sort of offer elsewhere.
Assuming Swann doesn’t try and just wrap things up (which wouldn’t totally surprise me) we’ll have the usual late influx of desperate bargain basement signings – of the ‘has been’ and ‘never will be’ variety along with the usual half a dozen 18 and 19 year olds on loan to pad out the squad numbers.
I wouldn’t fall off my chair in surprise if we’re not scanning the national league north by this time next year wondering what local derbies we can look forward to on 2023/24.
Hats off to Swann. In a perverse way it takes rare talent to be such a monumental and consistent failure as a football club chairman on and off the field over such a lengthy period of time.
