WON’T YOU COME ON DOWN TO MY RESCUE?
Okay folks, big news. There may be a chance that WSFFL will continue into next season. A rescue package is currently being worked on, which will save the core of the game (and hopefully the integrity and, more importantly, the enjoyment aspect), but which would necessitate an amount of streamlining. For one example, teams would need to be reported before the opening fixture of the weekend and remain fixed throughout the weekend (which would also outlaw the “Bevan Dodge”). Other changes to simplify the rules and therefore reduce the co-ordinator’s workload are being discussed. There are also two work-streams relating to the league, which would need to be filled.
1. Finance Co-ordinator – we would need someone to manage the bank balances of the teams, and keep them updated with gate receipts, POTW/MOTM awards and transfer activity. Ryan, you mentioned that you’d be willing to take this on – is that still the case?
2. Player Co-ordinator – we would need someone to manage the player lists, (which is just 2 spreadsheets; the all-squads list and pool list) and keep them up to date with any transfer activity, feeding this info into the co-ordinator and Finance co-ordinator. It would be likely that the player co-ordinator would also be responsible for putting together the player list for auction at the AGM and January Auction, taking 48 hour rule/ pool “Cooling Down” bids, and also doing the annual (Summer only) recat process. It’s honestly not as much work as it sounds. Any takers?
The most important thing we need, however, is the continuation of the managership. So can you all please, by return, advise me whether you would like to continue playing in WSFFL next season, bearing in mind the above circumstances?
Please EVERYONE, get back to me ASAP. Then we’ll know whether to go forward with the rescue plan, which may then involve all the managers getting together for an EGM, probably soon!
IT GOES ON AND THEN IT GOES AROUND AGAIN
The title race is still undecided with 2 weekends left of this season, as leaders Aardvark Abacus blew a chance to win it all this weekend, instead slipping up against their nearest challengers Prettier Than You. Ady’s team were the architects of their own downfall, with a Hermann Hreidarsson own goal adding to an Anton Ferdinand strike to give Rachel’s team a 2-0 win, closing the gap at the top to 3 points.
One point further back, and still in with a chance of winning the league, sit Real Muppets, following a 2-1 win over Eleven Imaginary Boys with Viduka and Fernandes goals. Fourth, and now out of the running as far as the league is concerned, are Trusted By Millions, who lost 2-0 to the Groove Machine, who drew level on points with their weekend opponents in 6th as a result. Splitting them in 5th place are Nil Satis, who completed an unbeaten April with a 4-1 thumping of York’s.
The POTW £500,000 this week goes to the Dead Parrots, who still occupy the basement slot, but who scored a fine 1-0 win over San Dimas High School thanks to a Kevin Davies strike. Well done Deano!
TRANSFER NEWS
None – again!
THE FF£100,000 QUESTION
You can tell I’m getting to the bottom of this particular barrel…
Who, in 1998, became the first player to lose in the FA Cup Final with 3 different teams?
Answers to me by close of play Saturday 5 May 2007. As usual, first correct one out of the metaphorical hat gets the dosh.
The out of proportion statue is that of Southampton stalwart Ted Bates, which stands outside the Saints St. Mary’s ground. Not sure which bit of it is out of proportion, though…
I got two correct guesses, from Peej and Jared, no less. Extremely irregular guesser Mr. Prov won the coin toss, so the cash goes to Eleven Imaginary Boys. Well done Prov lad!
SHORTS
· Despite Mr. Saleh’s very valid claims, the April Manager of the Month award and £250,000 cash goes to Ryan Moore of Real Muppets, who scooped 4 wins in an unbeaten month, including winning the FA Cup. Well done Ryan!
· Why is it that no-one ever calls Kanu by his chosen first name – Nwankwo – due to the presence of a so-say naughty word, but everyone’s happy to say Scunthorpe United?
