Martin Abb is new manager of the Cockfosters

View attachment 20576

Martin Abb : Im delighted with the oppurtunity to be manager at last. This is my first managerial position and looking forward to achieve great things with Fosters. I will be moving step by step, but main goal is to became proffesional side one day. It takes time and we need to work hard and have some luck to achieve that. Eagerly looking for season to begin

Overview

View attachment 20571View attachment 20572View attachment 20570

Martin Abb : Well as an amateur team of course I dont get any salary and only staff member beside me is great assistantmanager Ethan

View attachment 20569

Ethan Bell 33

To make it more fun we have got only 1 player in our squad

View attachment 20567

Sam Ruff midfielder 29

Yep the beginning is much harder than I thought it will be. Have to find full squad, physio, scout and everything without any cash.


View attachment 20566

Odds of winning the league are very slim. We shall see how team framing goes in next month. Every position needs players. Manager Martin Abb is looking to build team on youngsters, but at first he will sign anyone who is willing to play for Fosters





 
July 2018

View attachment 20549

Martin : We believe with my assistant Ethan, that these expectations are realistic. Transfer market is full of great choices so far, but unfortunatley we havent closed any deals. We offered chance to be part of Fosters great future for at least 100 different players aged between 15-19 years, and its sad to see that most of them turned away when they hear how low standard league we play and that we cant afford to pay anything. Some youngsters at least listened and wanted to be key players. I assured them that they will get a lot of playing time and will be vital part of our team. So far like You already understand no one have joined our team.

View attachment 20548

Martin Abb is very excited and cant wait to get stuck in

Vision is to bring in youngsters and develope them into first team players

Ok pre season starts and now we must finish transfers and get a team together. I also put up 2 adverts to get scout and physio.
 
August 2018

Martin Abb : ****** Fantastic month it was for sure. No competitive games, but we did so many amazing things. Signed absolutly amazing and talented team. New scout with good abilities give us even more knowladge and just could not stop praising our new head physio who is skilled 15. Just wow I was a bit worried after first week, but now I am ready for the season and Cockfosters will battle for the league win. What I need to do is find balance between players and suit them into my strategy of attacking mentality. Very very pleased with July.



And here it is our new team fully ready for presentation

TEAM LOOKS LIKE THIS NOW

View attachment 20501

Martin Abb : Truly tremendeous accomplishment. This team is capable of winning the league. Maybe I can get few great signings in the middle of the season, but not looking so intensly like I did in July. Some of our best players could easily play in Vanarama National League and succeed.

Martin Abb : New year 2019. Looking to get 1 or 2 quality additions to first squad. 2 - 3 players will move to reserves or U18 team. Some unrest started in the end of December, because I promised too many players that they are essential and key members of the team. Now its time to reevaluate and look who will stay and who will leave.

Martin Abb : Well now I am furious. Cant pretend anymore that things are ok. If Fosters lost in January 1 of the key members, then in February number increased to 3. So 4 valuable players gone and hard work to get at least decent players in didnt pay off..... It looks like its my fault. I dont want to find excuses and we must work and go forward, but its **** hard if higher division teams steal our superstars away. I tried to listen to our scout and looked to loan youngsters, but even they rejected the chance to play for Cockfosters. Free transfers are way off target. I would be happy if I could keep 11 players to the end of the season in our team.
Transfers this season are like rollercoaster. We got bunch of young starlets and now they are leaving.

Here is overview of my bad management

Yes our star striker the one and only YIANNIS CONSTANTINOU "CRAZYNOU" played 6 games and scored as many goals and gave same amount of assists as JAMAL, but Adams were more persistant performer and hitted net game after game. Compared with Crazynou who did one very good game finishing another great hat-trick, but after that had 3 mediocre games where he was invisible

It was a huge surprise that Italian youngster (only 16years old) agrees to join us as amateur. Very very happy with this deal. He is potential first team regular, because we never know when our star striker YIANNIS CONSTANTINOU "CRAZYNOU" decides to leave us.

Same thing - do not understand how and why Finnish 17 year old youngster decided to come play for us when hundreds of English, Northen´and Irish and Scottish lads reject us. He is First team player. Not because he is good enough, we dont have better DC-s. He is currently 2nd best. What I like about this Northen guy is hes good potential. He might be valuable player for us many years to come.

Martin Abb : Now its complete. Our team is demolished from top to toe. I cant imagine what kind of manager can stand this bullshit. Ok lets calm down for a sec. Applause for this incredible striker. He truly deserves it. In my point of view he was more valuable player than any other in our team.

Season overview

View attachment 20133

Team. Only 5 players left who claimed nearly 30 games in the league. Nicholas Henry 17 DM, Connor May 20 AMC and Alex Taberner 17 LB are only ones who are ready for first team football and provide good average ratings.

View attachment 20135

Martin Abb : Cockfosters are very happy with my work this year. If I had to judge myself I would give good 3 out of 5. League win was not purpose, but sublime signings and great run of form helped to achieve it. What I didnt like was letting go so many good players. Couldnt fight for them and as an amateur team we dont have funds to compete semi-professional sides.

Bonuses are : Winning the League 1,4k and Domestic Cup 1k



View attachment 19933

English Southern League Division One Central : Mid-table finish
English FA Cup : Reach first qualifying round
English Southern League Cup : Reach Preliminary Round

Martin Abb : Cockfosters will always strive for success. I cant promise League win, because almost all of our squad have changed. Season 2019-2020 we want to show good football and build a solid team that could compete for title 2020-2021 season. So realistic point of view Mid-Table finish is right. FA and Southern League Cup are not important and we will not play in our best formation in these cup games.

Martin Abb : 8th. Nice. Challenge accepted.

Martin Abb : Frustrating news once again. Its like somehow mission impossible to keep best players. Alex was nr1 LB and he was always my first choice. Last season he got injured and that is the reason he got only 29 games on hes belt.

New Scout DAN NICHOLSON

Martin Abb : Dan is exceptional scout with very high stats and I want him to provide me more accurate and helpful scout reports. We really need good scout, because finding good players who accept to play for Fosters are **** hard to find.

New Assistant Manager KEVIN WARNER

Martin Abb : Kevin is good guy and he has much more tactical awareness then Paul Driver. He is good working with youngsters and judging potential and ability are way better then Driver had.

JOSH FLINT 18 MC

Martin Abb

SCOTT ISHERWOOD 18 DR

Martin Abb
: DR position is now covered with this great lad. And he has got talent to be star player in Vanarama National league. In this very difficult position where whole team changes in 1 season it shall be impossible mission to keep him.

FREDDIE NIBLETT 18 DC

Martin Abb
: We have got 6 DC so we sign him because I was sure he will be best of the 6. Again very young and good player who has bright future a head of him. I wish he fullfill hes talent here



View attachment 19871

ERIC MBANGUI 18 DC/DM

Martin Abb
: He is the only DM player in Fosters team. We play with formation what uses 2 DM-s so we need to find at least 3 more DM. He is young as you can see and last season for Norwich Utd (playing in 7th tier) he played already full season so he has experience too.

Southern League Division One Central



Martin Abb : August starts and start of the season is knocking on the door. We have to move quickly and act on transfer market. There are hundreds even thousands of great players available. How can we get 3-4 of them joining us thats the question? I forgat to mention that from now one players want money. They dont get regular salary, but appearance fee and goal scoring bonus + substitute bonus are payed out. So our steadily growing finance will succumb into minus for sure.
