As others have said, in part, elsewhere what this really means is that only will we be needing a new manager but also a lot more of the squad are intending to leave than we would have hoped. This, for me, is the saddest point. With another good striker (or Denham playing regularly) we would have had a fair chance of reaching the play-offs. Now it's going to be another matter.
Not good news for a 60 year old supporter to hear. Without wishing to attract any p*ss-taking, I might never see Alty in the BSP again.
To use a Star Trek analogy when the engines have broken down, "Stars that were only days away are now light years in the future"!
PS: Sorry to get a little mystic/metaphysical but this could be a defining moment for Alty (Although I'll still be there! - it's too late in my life to jump ship now
)
