If - and it's a BIG if - anyone moves on in the summer, the proceeds will help to push us to the next level - I'm confident of that.
We sold the player that had swept the board at last season's awards, and it hasn't affected us anywhere near as much as we thought it would at the time.
There are seven teams currently higher than us in this league, and they have achieved that without having Chris Conn-Clarke in their side.
Given that there's always plenty of free agents around, it'll probably help us to add 10-20% on top of the wages we can offer, which might make the difference.
Of course if there's a legitimate way to keep CCC (and others) that would obviously be everyone's first choice - but life does go on.
I recall there were plenty around these parts that couldn't fathom why we'd just sold John Johnston to a promotion rival.
New heroes come along.
