Hopefully, if the worst does happen, it won’t be an eight-year wait before Posh return, although League One is full of sleeping giants who are threatening to wake from their slumbers.
I believe Posh already have a squad with the ability to challenge for promotion as long as a couple of quality additions are signed.
Using just current players and, in manager Grant McCann’s preferred playing formation of 3-4-1-2, here is a team I’d expect would go well in League One, plus a ‘sell, keep or release’ on other members of the Posh squad.
18. OLIVER NORBURN - GO
He presumably still wants to leave. We won’t need him and Fuchs anyway. Two defensive midfielders and three centre-backs is unnecessary in League One.
19. KWAME POKU - STAY
He’s shown enough promise in different positions and he’s still very young.
