Strelec loan.png


Strelec info.png


Aston: Fantastic young prospect and I talked with him and guaranteed first team starter position for him. I hope he can pay me off the trust. I would really loved to buy him, but we just do not have enough money for it.





Galin Tashev.png


Galin tashev stats.png


Aston: I think he was the best available free transfer in the market for Bulgarian players. We need quite many home grown players and he is very good addition to the squad.





Uros.png


Uros2.png


Aston: Uros is great young center back. He might be ready for first team football and looking brilliant games and development from this Serbian youngster

transfers view.png


Aston: Red marked players transfers were made by my decision. I had to sell players to get transfer budget and salary cuts, because we were going on the limit and had no transfer budget.

Strelec debut goal.png


Aston: Strelec was loaned only hours before the 4th game in the League and he managed to start impressively with scoring on his debut.







Bulgarian first league.png


league table 1st.png


Aston: I am delighted but also ready to fall few positions. We are aiming to finish first half of the season in top 6. After that we will see where we will land. So far we have scored 21 goals in 7 games and conceded 10.

PLAYER OF THE (first 7 league games)

POM Filipov.png


Aston: Filipov is right back and he has dazzled me with fantastic and continuous superb form. 2 goals and 4 assists from RB is just amazing.
Young loanee Strelec was solid with 3 goals in hes 4 games. Also AMR Kirilov played only 5 games and gave 4 assists.​

Albech contract negotiations.png


Aston: We have fantastic DR Filipov who won best player in last post, but this DR is a must buy. 3,8k £ per month is very high salary for us. I had to adjust offer 8 times until it was acceptable.

Albech signed.png


Albech profile.png





Slavisa Stojanovic contract.png


Aston: Stojanovic is next player who we manage to sign from free transfer market. 30 year old Slovenian AMLR and ST is valuable for squad depth and I believe he will take first team spot in AML position. Now our wage budget is on minus side

FIXTURES

fixtures 11.19.png


Aston: We managed to win games what were close calls and lost 1 game were we dominated and Vitosha only striked once and that was enough for losing against them. We are satisfied and happy with the results. Unfortunately we lose many players to injuries.




Filipov injured for the rest of the season, hard blow for all team.png


Aston: Filipov managed to play with new right side fullback Albeck only 1 game before he was seriously injured and now he is off the full season

Best is Kirilov.png


Aston: Radoslav has been our main source of assists and he has scored also 5 goals in last 6 league games in November and December. There was no other option for best player. His value is more than 1 million £ already. With unfortunate bad finance conditions it might be that I will consider his sale in January if tempting offer should arrive. On the other hand I hope no offers will come and he can continue his outstanding performances.​

GK Stergiakis will leave.png

Aston: Our young GK who has taken clear 1st GK position in the middle of the season decided not to extend contract and will go to Norway Rosenburg


Junior coaching increased.png


Aston: I really wanted to expand training and youth facilities, but we did not had enough funds so this the least what board could afford. Good at least small steps to become great producers of young Bulgarian talent

youth intake.png


youth Veselin Mitrev.png


Aston: Veselin might get some first team minutes already this season. Other players actually do not look very promising. Hoped a better youth intake. I want to build up team from young talented players, but it looks like I have to bring these youngsters in from other clubs.

Big teams are after him already. Milan, Inter, Newcastle and several more. I am happy that we experienced a fantastic collaboration and he became much better footballer through that journey and gave us valuable 22 goals!​

Aston: So we reformed almost hole team. Not very bright idea, but with circumstances what we had it was inevitable. Still looking to build team on young players and main aim is to give a good fight for league title. If possible and feasible try not to fall out in Euro Cup in first round. We need this Euro cash injection to build up our youth and training facilities.

Good luck on your journey dude ! I won UCL with french side Lille in FM14 twice, in 4 years ... That was my best achievement till now.. Nowadays I'm playing FM20 and. I've been in charge of Blackburn Rovers for two years. I'm out of contract at the end of my second season with the team, and don't know what to do next 😀

Nikola.png


Aston: Nikola is perfect player for us. Only small issue regarding his Nationality. No I do not have anything against Serbs, but we can put out only 3 non EU players and this makes it difficult to choose who to play and who not. When I make a decision that he will play he will be in first 11.




10th Oct 2020 Makavchik Free tr.png


Makavchik bio.png


Aston: Our scouts found this gem on the free transfer and actually we sign him much earlier. He turned 18 and is available option in midfield. He looks like to be most talented player in our team. Lets see how things will go, but I will do my best to let him play. Again he is from Belarus and I need to make important decisions before every game.




First league transfer roundup.png


Aston: Just take a look at Ludogorets spending in this transfer period. They have got money thats for sure. 12,75M £ spent. They are doing all what is possible to become champions again after last season failure. And no doubt they are candidates nr1

Debarga 16k.png


Debarga bio.png


Aston: Talented youngster who was available for very cheap price. Consulted with scouts and bought after that. If he shows at least half of the potential what Maka has done in last couple of months then he will be our first team striker next season maybe.

Krastev looking for contract.png

Krastev sold 110k.png


Aston: He played a lot as a front striker and has not scored a single goal. If I would have been in his situation I would just shut up and ask contract extension when I start to score goals. Anyway after his request I put him to transfer list and was ready to let him go for whatever price was offered. So 110K £ is quite good. It is clear that this season main troubles so far comes from scoring.





Mafoumbi sold 180k.png


Mafoumbi history.png


Mafoumbi.png


Aston: Mafoumbi was my mistake I admit it. He´s salary was more than 10k £ per month and he shadowed our Bulgarian GK Dyulgerov who should of been several levels worse than him. So to reduce salary funds and unrest between players I decided to make money out of him.





Diop joins loan deal to Arda.png


Diop history.png


Dioup.png


Aston: After Maka sparkled I had less and less options to choose from who to play in 3 non-EU positions. Unfortunately Diop did not get enough playing time and then a good loan offer came in and decided to give him that option. He was not very consistent scorer when he played for us.





Herman Stengel 35k.png


Stengel history.png


Herman Stengel.png


Aston: Excellent player and very good find from the market with only 35k £. Of course I have a problem now, but good problem. I need to choose between Filip Krastev, Nikola Kuveljic, Georgi Valchev, Hristo Ivanov, Maka and Stengel who is playing in MC. Oleg "Maka" Makavchik is pick nr1 and then comes a mistory. Need to look how many non-EU players can take part and look who is in form etc.

ROUND 24

R24.png


Aston: So many disappointments in one game. Ok Clear defeat is awful, but our DC Dobrev red card on the 63th minute just 4 minutes before equalizing 1:1 was not fair. Second yellow was given too easily. This affected our game and 3 minutes after that Cherno more scored winning goal. What makes things even more catastrophic Maka got himself a first red card in the league. It was straight red and justified. Not good start to the month.




ROUND 25

Aston: Despite not good performance on the pitch we were holding and securing narrow 1:0 victory. In the ****** last minute off the post Jakub from our fierce rivals Ludogorets equalized. Well lets not be very mad because we scored also quite late on the 88th minute. Still this was a good chance to catch up league leaders and now we failed. Sofia missed the creative touch of Maka who was suspended.
