Ok now to SESL updates

Season 60

Well St Mirren managed to to survive a relegation play off and will reamain in the second division for a second season. The fans will see this as a posertive as they now look to see if the team can build on this a try and push up the table.

The mangament team will have to strengthen the team as they have a not to bad first 11 but the backup players are not of the same quality. The good part os this story is that the age of the squad has been reduced and with good team training the core of a good team is there. There is not a lot of spare cash floating around to get the new players in but the manager and his team are happy they will be able to manage the task.

Season 59

We are going up at last, St Mirren are back up to Division Two after finishing 3rd in the league and now face the harder challenge of staying up this time. Last time they got promoted they were unable to beat the drop and went straight back down to division three.

This has not been a straightforward season with at one point the manager offering to resign after his transfer policy was called into question by other managers. The chairman convinced him to stay and they was proven to be the right decision as they managed to get what at the start of the season one of the weeks teams in the division to third position.

With a good backbone to the squad it will now fall on the manager to improve the squad for the challenge ahead.

Season 57

Well St Mirren did not mange to stay up and return to division thre after ending up 14 at the end of last season. The club must now hit the ground running to get themselves back up into division 2.

The squad is an aging group of players and will need a total rebuild to get the club moving in the right direction. To this end the club are looking to bring in several younger players and release some of the older one on the squad. This plan is long term and may well take a couple of season to get ton we're the club want to be. The chairman has backed the manager and has said there will be some money to help the club get back to were they belong.

Season 56

St Mirren mannered to get themselves promoted by  the play-offs. They mannered to keep themselves in the shake up even thought there form did drop off towards the end of the season. They will now face the difficult task of avoiding dropping straight back down to the third division.

The team is itself have a good mix of players but will need to try and bring in a couple of new player to blooster the team. There once again is not too much spare cash at the club to do deals so the fans may well see players departing as well as joining the team. There are a few players who will benefit form training up and the club will need them to step up to the plate this year.

Season 55

Well as the new season approaches St Mirrens fans still see there beloved team sitting in the bottom division following another disappointing performance last year. In fact the teams points total for last season is the lowest for several years. The Fans most now be wondering how much longer the present management team are going got be given to the team promoted.

Looking forward to the new season the team does look to be in a slightly better position than last year, there is the core of a good team. The main issue is the quality  of the depth of the squad. When the team has to rest players there are not the quality players to fill the gaps. This like last year will be the main problem for the manager as he looks to plot a way back into the higher divisions. There is not the cash at the club to bring in rotational players of a good level so once again he will have to try and target games which he thinks the team have a better chance of winning. Hopefully the team can pick up enough points in this way to get into promotion contention.

Season 60

Still enjoying retirement and travelling when time allows. A lot of this year has been taken up with home improvements and dealing with builders. The one that is for sure is that time just flies by and I can not believe we are heading into autumn already and Christmas is tunmbling towards at an ever increasing rate of knots.

Hope to find some time to get some of there planned projects finished next year and get onto the next thing I have planned to do.

The new football season has not started very well for Aston Villa and I long hard season looks to be in store.

 

 

Season 59.

Not much has changed since the last time I updated the Bio, still enjoying retirement but all those projects that I thought I would complete many are still not even started. Enjoying being able to go away when I like rather than when work allows. Enjoyed Aston Villa's return to European football and do not think we disgraced ourselves. Just hope we can get the points to get back into the Champions League from our remaining league games a. Was a little upset by the way we did not turn up to play in the FA Cup semi final but the best team won on the day.

Looking forward to next season in the 2nd division  but think we are going to have a hard fight on our hands to stay up.

 

Season 58

I still find it difficult to see how I fitted in all the stuff I used toi do when I was at work. I never seem to have anymore spare time now that i am retired to when I was at work as there always seems to be something to do. The only thing I have noticed is we do have more holidays as you can book at last minute and get the better deals.

Really enjoying watching Aston Villa in the Champions League and with 4 wins from 6 games it looks like we could claim one of the automatic places into the next round. We would have been even closer if Mings had not given away the silly penalty. But on the whole an enjoyable return to European football. We drop seem to be struggling a little more in the league but I think this is not uncommon with teams that are fight on lots of fronts and we have had several injuries as well.
