    1. We will transfer list Paynter, O'Brien, Bruce and Connolly, and allow Forssell to go on a free.
    2. Aidy White will leave, failing to negotiate his 15kpw contract demands with Harvey. He'll get a Bosman transfer to a Premiership club and they'll pay us a "pittance" in compensation.
    3. We will sign Jason Pearce, beating several world-class clubs to his signature.
    4. Snodgrass will renew his contract, claiming there is finally ambition around the club.
    5. "Well excited about the new season, we're getting promoted for defo"
    6. Warnock brings a few experienced heads in, maybe some lower league high-flyer too.
    7. We will unexpectedly 'have to accept' an offer for Clayton or McCormack.
    8. Premiership loanee replacement.
    9. "FFS support the team, we needed the money"
    10. Season of mediocrity, Warnock leaves at the end.

    What are your 10 predictions for the retained list/summer/season?

    Bruce's contract is up this year. He's already announced he'd gone on Saturday. "Not part of future plans".

    1. It's all hot air that many LUFC fans swallow
    2. Snoddy, McCormack and White leave mid August and are not replaced
    3. Warnock leaves mid-October while we languish in bottom half
    4. Spend the rest of the season fighting off relegation and reading snide comments from 'Wall fans (whose club incidentally will do worse than ours)
    5. Bates has a heart attack
    6. LUFC enter administration in February as the backers behind Bates all pull out of the club
    7. Harvey commits suicide but no-one cares
    8. LUFC relegated but bright horizons as 30,000 fans come together and pledge £3k each to buyout the club, giving a pot of £90m.
    9. We build slowly, ER is full, prices arte reasonable, we never overspend but do not over-expect because of that either, and we have a 5-year strategy built on football principles as comparable to those laid down by Roberto Martinez at Swansea, we build a truly community based football club, and we return as a force to the prem in 2017/18.
    10. To buy one of the 30,000 shares in LUFC in 2017/18 costs £250k
