Fantastic insight into the emotions of relegation by Connor Ripley and leaving a club he really loves and would have stayed if we had retained EFL1 status.

Thanks for everything Connor....

Wish we could have kept him and Crawley and Stocton.... with Rawson staying it would have been a good start to our team for next season. . This really needs sorting out ASAP...

I agree, but even if we had a decent wedge of cash, Stockton wouldn't have been staying. Crawley probably wants League One. Rawson, perhaps.

But, with no cash, we'll be lucky to attract National League standard players

I'm not sure if I'm being unduly pessimistic but don't see how we survive as a league club! We need a whole bunch of players for the new season but clearly don't have any money. The proposed sale has clearly hit the rocks with the interested buyer seemingly unable to pass the EFL's test and there is no time for a new buyer to pass the EFL test in a matter of weeks. Where are the players capable of keeping us in the league coming from?
