The man of the match in the table is chosen by the opposing team or the referee. There is a manager's man of the match chosen each week which will contribute to an award at the end of the season.
After a difficult season I am now looking to rebuild for next season - building around the team I already have. In view of this and recent events I will be giving you all the following letter:
You may or may not be aware that Jill has tried to start up her own team at Chadderton. This has deeply upset me especially as she has tried to poach some of my players. Her motivation behind this appears to be that players are unhappy. This I had not seen any evidence of and any incidents I thought I had dealt with. This has also come at a time when I thought I was close to building a team that could really do something next year – I was hoping to be in contention for a league and cup double with the Saturday team (Sunday I am unsure of the strength of the league). Needless to say if Jill does form her own team and players follow Dillan it will rip the team apart. I am sure no player wants to go through the same situation we had last year when you were under pressure because players left. This I thought would not be happening this year as I have already strengthened before trials.If any player is unhappy with anything you should let me know and we can try to resolve it but you need to know that I am the manager and I run the team as I think is best. I will listen to your views but in the end it is my decision. I also do not want anybody playing for me who is not happy to do so and 100% committed. I will be handing signing on forms out to the players I want to sign. If you are not happy to sign and play for me the way I run the team then please do not take one and I expect this to be your last training session. If that is the case I thank you for everything you have done in the past.If you do sign I expect you to fulfill the whole season so as to not put pressure on the other lads. Remember I am committed to this team for another five years.

Hopefully we can then move onwards and upwards as I am building a team that will take us to success over the next few years. I obviously hope that most of the team will sign and that I can in addition sign new players that will enhance the team we have.
