Season 58 - December 2024
Promoted back to Div 1 and time to push on.
2025 sees the 3rd season in charge, so some impact in both Cups would be welcomed.
Last 16 in both cups the aim.
And staying in Div 1 ofcourse.
How was Div 1 won by Craig Bucknall in season 50 though? ARB won more wooden spoons than league titles!
Rivals are Dundee, Raith & Aberdeen.
*********
Season 57 - July 2024
Is relegation a distinct possibility I pondered last season - yes. Div 1 finished 14th in S56.
Sitting at the managers desk July 2024 and team squad is ok actually.
Goal Keeper position is better with an age 1 dude. Need a decent back up GK though
Two big strong WG's give us hope. May try Early Cross.
Senior players age 4 or above can be cashed in for apprentice.
Can I pull a rabbit from the hat or unearth a gem of a player. It will be an interesting season and a challenge seeing how I get on.
Last 16 in both cups last season.
Is promotion a distinct possibility. Only time will tell. Rivals are Dundee, Raith & Aberdeen.
*********
Season 56 - Cameron Archibald Takes Charge
Well it looks a case of back to normal service last season when looking at Team History.
Staying in Div 1 by a whisker in 12th spot.
Seven senior players age 5 or above will need looked at.
Is relegation a distinct possibility. Only time will tell. Rivals are Dundee, Raith & Aberdeen.

Season 55 - Still a Work in Progress
We performed very well last season despite a thin roster, finishing in sixth place. Unfortunately, the situation has only gotten worse after post-season aging, so this season will be another challenging one. I'm still working out how best to budget and how best to recruit players to bring more depth to the squad. I'll have to figure that out pretty soon to stay competitive.
Season 54 - This Will Take a While
The rebuild continues at Gayfield Park, and it promises to be a lengthy process. We have several aging players rapidly declining, not much youth to fill in behind them, and a light bank account that will hamper our ability to bring in reinforcements. So it looks like it'll be another season of battling to avoid the drop. Our T-11 is 10th in Division 1, and our T-17 is 8th, and I think somewhere in there is where we'll land when all is said and done.
Season 53 - Jason Halpin Takes Charge
I'm excited to be taking on a new challenge in SESL. We're only a couple of seasons removed from a title, and while there's some quality in the squad, there is plenty of work to do to rebuild and develop the team to be a championship contender.

Jason - a bit about me:
I'm an attorney based in New Jersey, where I live with my wife Elizabeth and our three boys - Declan, Ronan, and Kiernan. I briefly played an Olmec soccer manager game many years ago and just returned to such games about a year ago in MSWL.
In real life, I support the New York Red Bulls and Queens Park Rangers. I became a QPR fan through doing a work experience in the club's press relations department while in college. I wrote a lot of articles for the QPR website and match-day program, including manager Ian Holloway's match-day column. I also ate my lunch in the stands at Loftus Road pretty much every day, which was very cool. I'd like to think that my inspiring writing spurred the Hoops on to the Second Division Play-Off Final the year I worked there, and to automatic promotion to the newly named Championship the following season.

Season 55 Update
Things have been going well for me lately. I started a new job in October. I left my former law firm and joined a corporation as in-house counsel, which comes with better hours and much less stress. So far it's been a great move, and I'm enjoying it very much. My two older sons started playing "travel" soccer this fall, where they receive professional training and we travel to other towns for games, rather than just playing other kids in our town. They're having a lot of fun and growing a lot as players, which is great to see. My youngest is still in "rec" soccer, which is mainly an excuse for him to goof around with his best friend, but they're only five, so it's allowed.
