Shock appointment at Basel

Basel have today appointed young Englishman Charlie Pumfrey as first team manager. Pumfrey, is a relative unknown on the European stage having worked mainly in the finance side of organisations. The appointment has been met with some derision in the clubs fan base with many feeling as though the club needed an experienced hand to move forward with. It has not been announced yet as to any changes Pumfrey will make to his backroom staff or to the playing staff.

Squad Report

Key Players

Breel Embolo - 18 - Swiss - Winger/Striker
The young Swiss forward is the future of the club, if we can hang onto him that is.

Zdravko Kuzmanovic - 27 - Serbian - Midfielder
The Serbian playmaker was brought back to the club by my predecessor and should prove to be a real asset on the European stage.

Mohamed El-Neny - 22 - Egyptian - Midfielder
The Egyptian ball winner is already too good for this league but has the potential to drive us on in Europe.

No Longer Required

Phillip Degen - 32 - Swiss - Full Back
He may not yet be gone but he doesn't offer anything as there are better, younger players in his position and at this point he offers little utilisation.

The rest of the squad are all required for this season if we are to succeed to the level I deem suitable.
