Martin Hmara: 26 year old lad is in hot form and helped us win the first game in Premier League against Everton. Scored 4 goals in competitive matches in August. He is valued much higher than in Championship. Our team value has skyrocketed. We are 15th in the league. Hoping to hold momentum and get some good results. Cup games are not important but every league game is like a final and we have 34 more finals to play this season. I have strong belief that we will manage not to get relegated. First four games shows that we are lacking in defense some quality. Youngsters have to improve through the season and older players like team captain Terry are not meant for this high standard league. It is unfortunate but in the future when we will have a bigger budget we need to change some players. At the moment we are doing our best to finish Blyth Spartans record signing before the end of the transfer period (it ends 2nd of September 2030). It is likely that he signs but there are big interest from other Premier League teams. More about if we manage to sign him or not next on the month month overview. Below info about how team value increased.
Martin Hmara: Omari is a vital part of our team and without him it is hard to believe we could get some decent results. Grateful for his performance agains Manchester City first huge scalp we got from Premier League.
But we must improve 3 red cards in 3 Premier League games is more than enough. It is my approach and I changed it a bit for less aggressive tactics. Hopefully we can avoid red cards and keep fighting to stay up this season.
Huge record signing from Bristol City. We got a perfect Englishman James Palmer for RB position and payed astounding 13,5M £ for him. This took every penny and even more from our finances, but I can assure you this that it is well calculated cost and will pay back well in the future. He will be a big star player for us and if all goes well even in Premier League and in World.
Financially we are suffering, but I have faith that with TV money we get out of that slope really quickly. You can see from the news that Blyth are spending only 400k £ per week on salaries. That is the strongest part of our financial target to get back in track, because we can not compete with other teams in the league and if we manage to keep salaries on reasonable level and stay in Premier League next season will be already much easier.
Martin Hmara: Our main goalkeeper Long did a fantastic game against Manchester United. We played one of the worst games in the season and MANU dominated and created hundreds of great chances but this lad just did one superb save after another and kept scoreline only 2 conceded goals. That was thrilling performance and although we lost and defense played super poorly it was Stephens best game of his career. But other good news are these that we won against Nottm Forest and this keeps us safe from relegation zone. And our finances moved to positive side and they should be going strong by the end of the season if I do not mess it up on next transfer period. But on negative side I would like to point out board takeover has been hinted and discussed already several seasons but nothing happens. I guess this is the new reality and personally I think it is due to the huge increase of the club value in less than last 2 seasons.
