a bad season finally came to a end at old trafford with back to back relegation confirmed. this was not part of the plan and something that we can only try and sort out by bouncing straight back to division 2 at the first attempt.

now the focus turns to next season and the all important transfer season is upon us. myself and the board understand that the transfer policy as to change slightly to move this team forward. we have made a few signings in the last few days but im demanding more from Mr Woodward which probably means ill end up with a new sponsor and not a new player but we can all dream i guess.

Bernard will join as replacement for sarr who joined Valencia

new number 1 goalkeeper Anthony lopes.

with 5 signings in so far we still hope to make one or two more signings before the season starts. this is the biggest transfer off season since i took over and one that needs to reap the rewards.

emre can will be the new club captain after is arrival from Chelsea

Carlos soler will be new vice captain after is arrival from Valencia

with the new season still a couple of weeks away i hope to sign a couple of more players and try out some new formations throughout the preseason. the players have to realise man city should not be above us in the table let alone a division above and we will work hard to correct this otherwise me and Mr Woodward may have a difficult conversation to have come the end of season.
