This month we have done really well to keep in the form we are currently in. We have managed to make quite a bit of cash through the sales of some players that i felt had done the job for the team and ae no longer in my plans for the club or i felt that they would be better off at a new club due to the lack of games as i had a large squad.

I hope that next month we will be able to do the same and lets see if we finish in the the playoffs or even the top spot, most of all i hope that we don't lose out this season. I feel that the current team is strong but not sure how strong in terms of playing in the premiership next season. This won't stop me trying to gain the promotion.

Imagine that promotion 3 seasons running who would have thought that it would be possible to do such a thing with a small club.


Thanks for reading and please keep coming back to check for my next update, Please leave your thoughts and or comments.

May - End of Season Report

Sutton United Promoted

Sutton United faithful happy following promotion

Sutton United board praise 'unbelievable' promotion

Appleton praises Peary following promotion

Sutton United face higher challenge

Managers Comments

I firmly believe that the current players in my squad and those due to join are going to be strong enough for the challenge of the Premiership next season. I could do with a couple of new faces to give the team some strength in the Cups but other than that the only worry for us is our stadium being the smallest in the league.

This is and the best season we have ever managed to play in the entire history of the club. We have managed to defeat the odds again and become a well respected club and a Premiership team in such a short time this is amazing achievement.

I am really proud of the team and staff as they're the main success to the club as if it wasn't for them we wouldn't have been in this league and now the Premiership.

All i hope for now is to keep the club growing in terms of making sure we're financially secure and that we can start building on a new stadium and also most of all overcome the new challenge of playing in the Premiership and maybe one day even try and win the biggest league in the world.


Thanks for following my updates and i think i am now living in a dream world as i never expected to win as many games as i did and get promotion again.

I hope you will stay with me and follow the survival challenge of the Premiership, and maybe could we see some domestic cup success in the next season or so.

Please feel free to comment.

Well Done on finishing 2nd, even I thought you'd finish in play-offs and miss out on the auto spots. You've done a Great Job, but if I'm honest, I think you will struggle next year. Saying that, You've proved me wrong before :P

Keep it up.

Thanks i hope i can do well but its going to be very tough as i have got a young team and i will or may have to start selling some great players too keep the funds going as my stadium is small and i wont be bringing in much cash. but if i can get a new player and hope the shirt sales help the club then i will be over the moon but i know i should be boosted with cash for promotion how much i don't know yet.
