Chris Webster (Keymour & Hassocks) 7.8 rating

Our last game of the season is a very important one as we are behind Ringer III and Heath Rangers by 2 pts. They each play each other in their lats game so i mean we need a win and those 2 to draw and then well see where it goes from there. Our chances of getting promoted are next to nill to be honest.

Season Injury Report:



One of the players that our chief scout recommended we sign i went ahead and signed him. We signed 21 yr old Jack Kempton





April 29th

Another player our chief scout recommended during the season is 16 yr old midfielder Tom Finlay





Let the Off-season begin

[NCAAFBall00]

May 3rd

We signed another player our chief scout recommended us sign and that is 22 yr old midfielder Rob Parker





May 12th

After explaining to the board that we need more scouts in general and they tried to tell me at this level you get what you get for staff but after some discussion they have decided to grant my request so now we can carry 1 Chief Scout and 2 regular scouts

We have named Craig Nelson as our new Director of Football

May 13th

We have gone out and named Graham Kerr as our new Assistant Manager



May 14th

We have brought in a new scout in Pete Burdett



May 15th

We have brought in 17 yr old midfielder Emmanuel Salifu



May 18th

We have brought in 17 yr old GK Andrew Clifton





May 21st

Graeme Kelly has fully recovered from his double hernia that has kept him out of action for 6 weeks

With the players returning in a month what is going to happen is I will be scheduling alot of friendly games. The month or month and half long friendlies we will be spliting our training camp into 2 squads. One Team Black (Black Jerseys) and Team Gold (Gold Jerseys). Each roster will carry 2 goalkeepers 7 defenders, 6 midfielders and 4 strikers. Each team will play 8-10 friendlies which will be made up of our main squad, our u23 players and players we brought in from our youth intake who are now on our U18. The reason for this is that we get a chance to look at everyone for next season. If we need to release anyone bring anyone up etc and see what some players future is with our club.

May 27th

We have brought in 18 yr old midfielder Kevin Wallace





With Kevin Wallace coming in we have decided to release Lewis Dickinson



May 30th

I know i said earlier in my save that I would sign players 2 times a year November and March at the youth intake day. I have decided to change my mind. I have decided to go with the off-season (so that is 3rd week of April until end of June), then any time we have trial days and then our youth intake. If our scouts tell us to scout players for transfer we will scout them during the regular season and then add the mto our short list and then in the off-season we will take another look at them and see if they will be a upgrade to our squad or not.

[NCAAFBall00]

June 1st

We have signed 16 yr old centre-back Louis Howes



June 8th

We have scheduled 14 friendly games of which each squad will get 7 games each which will run from June 27th all the way until the 1st week of August this way we get a really good look at all players in our organzation.

June 26th

So guessing that how far we are in the England pool that with only Heath Rangers and our club being hte only teams i nthe level 22 that you can play as it does not look like there will be leagues for U23 and U18 as i just checked their schedules and nothing is shown so looks like we will be scheduling friendlies each month for the month so that our two squads keep their fitness up this season.

We wanted to use the 17 yr old as a leader on our U18 squad but he didnt think so we have moved on
