Not one single fault from the team after the red card incident, we managed to keep the ball loads in the midfield and not just that Villa had been misplacing every pass they had to us. How have we won so big.

We lost a game or 2 this month and drew in a game against Arsenal in which i felt we should have won. The highlight of the month well will have to be the last 3 games, for some reason we have started to turn on the heat and score freely.

Next month I hope that we can keep up this form and we may even get that 4th spot only if results can go our way.

This is and was a massive achievement for us as we have secured a top 4 place, i am over the moon that we have managed to break into the top 4 for the first time, the disappointment of losing in the Carling cup was 1 of the worst things but then we lost to Fulham in the FA cup to make things worse.

I am over the moon that we had managed to win the UEFA Europa League first time of asking and in our debut season in Europe, i wonder how we will do in the Champions League next season.

I am pleased with the team and the club as we have been improving vastly in all areas, we're a little short of cash this season from last but that is due to the 2 huge buys i have made, both of whom are perfect for the club and the best in those positions.

Managers Comments

This is going to be the most busiest season ever and i feel it maybe the toughest as we have a fair few big games so early on in the season, i am looking forward to trying to get in the Champions League group stage and also hopefully winning a few cups.

I want to try and win the Premier League this season as i feel the team is a lot stronger physically and mentally than ever before.

Now that i have accepted the England job i also want to get them to win the World cup in 2018 which will mean another 2 seasons of this before i make a new 1 on FM10.

I am now the England manager as well as Vauxhall i will post the England tables and games but not to the full details as my Vauxhall team is due to less time to write it all up.

Assistant Report

Round 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, Round feels that our weakest area of our squad is up front..

Round believes you may want to consider these players as a potential solution to the problem striker area:

Emilio NSue (Udinese's 26 year old Spanish striker who is valued at £7.25M)
Diego Suarez (Milan's 23 year old Bolivian attacking midfielder/forward who is valued at £6.25M)
Alberto Paloschi (Fiorentina's 26 year old Italian striker who is valued at £7.25M)

He also believes that the following are the best:

Senior Players

Ramon Millan - Defender
Luis Carlos - Midfielder
Sergio Jimenez - Attacker

Youth Players

Jimmy Robertson - Defender
Bruno - Midfielder
Francesco Lamanna - Attacker

I feel that its right to say the attack can be weak at times but i do feel we're getting stronger all the time. I will take a few months before we start to gel at our highest levels ever.

The rest of the main contenders are priced at: 8-1 - Aston Villa, 14-1 - Manchester City, 16-1 - Chelsea, 20-1 - Vauxhall Motors and 20-1 - Tottenham

As far as your team is concerned, the bookmakers believe that you definitely have the quality to mount a serious title challenge and that no matter what happens you will be there or thereabouts come the end of the season. The pre-season odds of 20-1 that they have given you reflects this.

I am really pleased to have sold the defender Gerson as he made the team unhappy at times, i felt he was not needed and we managed to make a huge profit on him which is brilliant.

I brought in the 1 player so far for our future, other than that there isn't much else to do other than look forward to a new campaign.
