Managers Comments

I am pleased to say that i am at a club i feel i can take all the way to the top and beyond. As most of you may know me and the way i play well i have to say this will be much tougher than any other game i have played my target of premiership in around 9 or 10 seasons should be realistic as i have a very low budget for now i am hoping to gain some more cash via the results and cups.

My target is to finish in top half and go as far as we can in the cups.

[Tony M]

I think it's amazing how you take a team from the bottom to the Prem. It's amazing. Will follow this, good luck.

[Sam.C]

Assistant Report

Roy O'Brien is very pleased with the amount of depth to the squad and feels we can be confident that the players we have are capable of achieving what is required of them.

Despite possessing a strong team, O'Brien feels that we are weakest in defence.

O'Brien believes you may want to consider these players as a potential solution to the problem right-back area:

Henry McStay (Morcambe's 23 year old Irish wing back who is valued at £10K)
Kenny Coleman (Cobh Rambler's 25 year old Irish defender / wing back who is valued at £2K)
Craig Pope (Histon's 25 year old English defender / wing back who is valued at £8K)

He also believes that the following are the best:

Senior Players

Jim Ablancourt - Defender
Quentin Boesso - Midfielder
Willy Robert - Attacker

Youth Players

Kyle Davies - Defender
Tom Kilton - Midfielder
Alfredo Neto - Attacker

Managers Comments

I have to say that we have managed to perform well in pre-season and i feel that the defence is a little weak but that will be sorted out soon. The players my assistant mentioned i felt are no where near my plans for the club.

Promotion Odds

Blue Square South League promotion odds from Sky Bet

Hampton & Richmond have been made 6-4 favourites to gain promotion from the Blue Square South this season.

The rest of the main contenders are priced at 2-1 - Braintree, 3-1 - Eastleigh, 3-1 - Fisher, 6-1 - Havant & Waterlooville and 6-1 - AFC Wimbledon.

By pricing your team at 2000-1 the bookmakers clearly think that relegation is real possibility and that you should be gearing up for a long, hard and ultimately disappointing season.

Managers Comments

I felt the need to bring a whole new team in as the current players were below par. I feel the new squad will do very well in time. I wanted to bring in more but wages have stopped me from doing so for now.
