I can't believe my eyes when i look at the table, I'd never had thought that we would be able to win the league, this is and has been the most up and down season we've had so far in my career, I am looking forward to the Premiership but dreading it too. I had never though that we would have been fighting so hard for the title i was predicting just a mid-table finish, yet again we have went above my expectations. All i now hope for is a new stadium and or some more upgrades as i need to keep selling to keep this club alive for the future, i know i will get so much from TV revenue but we will be spending that on wages.

I have to thank the whole team for the efforts and determination to win games, the fans have also been a successful part of the club, i hope you have enjoyed this season and here comes an even tougher one.

Congrats on being promoted. You should have an interesting stint in the PL which I cant wait to read.

Managers Comments

I was looking forward to this day being in the biggest league that has ever been created, i could have never imagined we would be here in such a short space of time. I am looking forward to this campaign more than ever before, i hope we can stay in the league.

I feel the team we have will do the job i ask of them but it is can we managed to do well tactically as this league has some of the worlds best if not almost all of them.

I hope you enjoy this new season as much as i am looking forward to it.

Assistant Report

Owens 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, Owens feels that we are weakest in defence.

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

Gianni Zuiverloon (West BRom's 26 year old Dutch defender who is valued at £5.5M)
Daniel Congre (Toulouse's 28 year old French defender who is valued at £4.3M)
Frank Beria (Portsmouth's 30 year old French defender, wing back, midfielder who is valued at £4.2M)

He also believes that the following are the best:

Senior Players

Peter Tepperik - Defender
Adam Burton - Midfielder
Kristian nemeth - Attacker

Youth Players

Igor Suarez - Defender
Shayne Davis - Midfielder
Sergio Jimenez - Attacker

Promotion Odds

Premier League promotion odds from Sky Bet

Arsenal have been made 3-1 favourites to win the Barclays Premier League title this season.

The rest of the main contenders are priced at: 5-1 - Manchester United, 16-1 - Chelsea, 16-1 - Manchester City, 16-1 - Liverpool and 16-1 - Tottenham.

With prices for your team starting at 1000-1, the bookmakers appear convinced your team lacks the quality to mount any sort of title challenge in your first season up and that you would do well to stay in the division.

2013/14 Premier League Fixtures

Vauxhall will start games against Aston Villa (Away), Tottenham (Home) and Arsenal (Away).

I have been bringing in some new players i felt are for the future and 2 really big signings which i hope can keep us in the premier league, i am pleased with the sales of the players that have been making the team very unhappy.

[Box of Clocks Version 2]

Well done on promotion. It is great that you have taken them from so low down to the Prem. Out of interest can I ask how many games you play each day because you seem to get through a season really fast and you play a lot of friendly games as well.

We had been out classed from the start in what looked like we would and could have lost by 8 or more goals. A late come back from us wasn't enough.

Bristol City have paid Vauxhall £500K from Yaser Kasim transfer deal.

Managers Comments

Well we have made a decent start in a way we have managed to get 3 points from Tottenham, its a shame we lost the other 2 games, the first being Aston Villa a strong team and also Arsenal whom are much better skilled than us.

What made the task very hard for us was the injury to our best goalkeeper which meant we had to use the new goalkeeper earlier than we had hoped.

Next month i am hopeful that we can get at least a point as the games are very tough, we have to play the likes of, Everton, Liverpool, and Manchester United this coming month.
