Sunderland fans are saying pretty similar things re Maja and their new owners as we are posting today. I think maintain that team spirit regardless of who leaves and we're still in with a good shout. There are no big money teams in this league and no runaway winners by the looks of things.
I like to frame BFC's transfer dealings like this.... Imagine your an F1 driver and you started a race in 10th position. Its 2 laps from the end and you have battled hard to reach 2nd position. You have enough fuel to race at full pace for the final two laps and your tyres are in better condition than the driver infront of you. Any thinking person would give it a good go and try and win this race.. Barnsley FC would pull out a gun and shoot out their own tyres. Utter madness.
