Ok, we were close to it, but the Norwegian idiot made it a certainty.

If we had stayed up, and the subsequent money invested in the team, who knows where we'd be now?

tbf though, we'd probably still be in red, so every cloud and all that.
We'd have gone down with or without Mackay I think. We were too defensive and I don't think we'd have had the goals to keep us up.

If we'd gone up, cut our losses and tried to rebuild sensibly, we might be back there. OGS pissed £20/25m up the wall.
