While that is good news in the long-run, Marathe admits that due to their failure to earn a Premier League promotion, stars such as Liverpool target Crysencio Summerville may leave.

He stated to Yorkshire Evening Post: "It's a little too early for me to answer specific questions, it's still, what is it 36 hours or whatever since the final, so it's just I can't talk on specific players right now.

"But if I can paint the big picture for you, there are certain things that we need to do and we will make sure we are fully compliant with P&S, as we always have been.

And there are certain trade-offs that we have to make and so we'll have to get to the drawing board and figure out which moves we have to make sure that we are compliant. It's too early to say.

Obviously Archie (Gray) is a tremendous player, as are all of the players who put in so much effort for us, but you know, every season brings change and so I can't yet comment on it, but we'll see what happens."
