Love the 'big spending neighbours' pop at the end.........if they'd got a decent manager instead of the Gainsborough Gobshite they'd have been a shoe in for last season's play offs.
Gainsborough Trinity's board of directors have muted the possibility of dropping down to a lower tier of football.
The startling revelation was made by commercial director John Myskiw as he outlined the financial difficulties the club has experienced since the departure of millionaire chairman Peter Swann last summer.
While Myskiw insisted the board had eventually decided against the dramatic move, it could be an issue they return to in the future.
"We have spoken about whether we can survive at this level with the investment that we currently have," admitted Myskiw.
"But you only have to look at the money teams like Worksop and Grantham are paying. If we dropped down we could be in the same position.
"So we hold our hands up and say 'okay, it's going to be hard again, but would you rather be at this level?'"
In an open and frank interview with the Echo, Myskiw also moved to scotch rumours that former chairman Peter Swann is still involved at Gainsborough Trinity.
Myskiw insists Swann, who is now chairman at League Two club Scunthorpe United, no longer has any involvement at the Blues after distributing his shares ahead of his departure last summer.
And Myskiw says he wants to put a stop to stories circulating that Swann is still lurking in the shadows.
"Peter Swann no longer has any involvement in this club whatsoever," stressed Myskiw.
"I am aware of the stories about myself and Pete Wallace effectively holding his shares.
"But I will guarantee to anyone that if someone came in for my shares tomorrow, they could have them.
"There is nothing whatsoever that would stop me. If it meant someone putting money into the football club then great, they can have my shares now."
The Blues director also admitted the board have discussed next season and revealed their playing budget is likely to be lower than the current campaign.
The reason for that is down to the money the club received at the start of this season following the sale of Luke Waterfall and Terry Hawkridge to Scunthorpe.
"That money obviously gave us a good starting point, but next season we won't have that money," added Myskiw.
"We are hoping everything else will be the same.
"Hopefully there will be more sponsorship because a lot of people took the attitude, when Mr Swann was chairman, that 'he's got the money, we don't need to help out'.
"They now realise that is not the case any more."
Myskiw believes that Trinity can still appeal to players while they are in the Skrill North.
However, he admitted that the club is battling against big spending neighbours.
