Good Morning All,After last night’s triumph, the season is now officially over, full focus is to The Club World Cup but more importantly building the squad to go another step further next season. I personally think we are nearly there but need a few players to get us over the line, in this article I am going to detail out the players I would keep from the current squad and leave blank the holes I think need filling, leaving you guys the decision to fill the gaps via a poll.

Good Afternoon Ladies and Gents,Today I am bringing you something different, an insight into the infamous SPTC Group Chat. For those of you who don’t listen to the podcast where it is regularly mentioned the group chat consists of Simon, Jai Danny and myself. This is the last week until early September where transfer talk will be on the back burner and somewhat hypothetical, because once the season ends it’ll be full focus until the window closes for most.

Good Morning Ladies and Gents,Today I am writing an opinion piece on the situation around Enzo Maresca. Firstly I have been very patient through the season and quite often defended Enzo Maresca and the time he needs to grow into the role and teach his tactics and philosophy to the players and implement his thoughts into the club as a whole. It’s only in the last month or so that I have changed my opinion on our Gaffer and now believe that he isn’t the man to take us further.

Good Morning Ladies and Gents,I haven’t produced one of these for a while, I have had a re-think and found a more modern way to provide you all this information. Usually the way I conduct this is very time consuming and where I could help Simon in other areas of content like ideas, blogs and articles this will take up all of that time and more. So I have turned to the year 2025 and produced this report via AI (artifical intelligence), I am very impressed with the outcome considering all context.

Good Afternoon Ladies and Gents,Today I am playing the role of Sporting Director, its the 1st of June, the Premier League season has come to a close and I have some transfer activity to conclude…. Have we qualified for the Champions League or the Europa League? That plays a big part in these decisions, I am doing this on the basis that we qualify for Champions League football but I will provide an alternative transfer target for if we play in either of the lesser competitions.
