Ahead of Saturday's crunch game at Walsall, chairman Gordon Shepherd outlined the bonus on offer for a top six finish.</div><div class="ds-firstpara"></div><div class="ds-firstpara">
</div><div class="va-bodytext" id="va-bodytext">&quot;We would generate a fair amount of revenue, the estimates are from about £300,000 which would make a great deal of difference to the club. It would go a long way to wiping off the forecast losses for this year,&quot; he explained.
&quot;If we go all the way to the final that would be a nice situation to be in. It would not wipe off the debts, only go part of the way to wiping off part of this year's losses.&quot;
But he added: &quot;As we say, 'we plan for the worst and we hope for the best and in our budgets we're planning for the worst.'
It's looking hopeful, we are in fifth position. We have to go to Walsall and win. If we win the irrespective of what others do we are in the play-offs. If we draw or lose at Walsall then it would depend on what the others do and if Swansea and Nottingham Forest both lose we'd still be in the play-offs. Doncaster Rovers could find themselves in the play-offs too, they could leapfrog Forest and Swansea.
&quot;The way to make sure for us is to win and if we win the likelihood is that we'll play Huddersfield Town.&quot;
Already relegated Walsall stand in Barnsley's way and they appointed former Liverpool defender Richard Money as their manager yesterday.
The 50-year-old was unveiled at Bescot as the shock choice to replace Kevan Broadhurst, who was sacked 11 days ago. He will not be in charge on Saturday.
Caretaker boss Mark Kinsella will pick the team to face Barnsley.
Barnsley boss Andy Ritchie commented: &quot;It's always the case that when a new manager is appointed, players want to get themselves noticed, they want to make an impression.
&quot;I don't really know what the effect on players who have already been relegated...maybe some will want to get away.&quot;</div>

 

How much did we get for Burns?

How much would we have got if we'd gone up second?

 

I don't know</p>



I don't know.</p>



Got me shirt by the way. </p>

 

Not very much</p>

Nothing at all - he would have been out of contract.</p>

 

No, I mean how much would we have got for continuing our good form and going up a comfortable second had we not sabotaged the side by selling our most consistent and influential player?

 

Nice one.

We're looking good for the play-offs aren't we? Maybe we should sell Colgan.

 

Chortle.
