Hi Guys, My Name is Nicholas Treadwell, Im 34 years old and i live in Burgas, which is the second largest city on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast. We have a population of around 360,000 and our main industry is Tourism.
Let me tell you a little about me,
I was Born in Nuneaton, England on the 11th May 1980. My Mother and Father were of the nationality although my Grandfather was Bulgarian, My Parents split up when i was just 4 years old and my father then moved to Burgas, Bulgaria to be closer to his family.
I never really knew who he was, but that was about to change, on the 3rd February 1988 my mother was killed in a car crash, a Lorry collided with her vehicle and she was killed instantly.
My father then moved me over to Bulgaria, where i completed school and learned to play football, at the Age of 15 i was given the opportunity to show myself at a open trial in Burgas, The scouts were impressed with me and i then signed a youth contract at local club PFC Naftochimic later that month.
At the age of 18 i made my debut for PFC Naftochimic, i went on to make 158 appearances for the Club from 1998-2005.
In 2005 i made History by being the first Ever Signing for newly founded Club PSFC Chernomorets, which angered Fans of my previous Club, I went on to finish my career at the club, Making over 250 appearances in my 7 years at the club, with my final season Finishing in a club high finish of 4th in Bulgaria's A League.
Ever Since then the club has taken a turn for the worse, Just 2 seasons later we find ourselves relegated to the 2nd division of Bulgarian football, The emergence of Sunny Beach has damaged the reputation of this beautiful City, And after sacking Manager Dimitar Dimitrov after 3 years in charge, Chairman Mitko Sabev has then asked me to take charge and lead the club back into the first division and onto further Glory.

I've been to Sunny beach, that's just reminded me I saw Berbatov in his flash car, pulling up outside a small shop to buy cigarettes haha
 
Right, Here's some knowledge of the club.

Ivaylo Dimitrov
A very solid and reliable 26 year old full back, i can see that defensively we dont look to bad in this squad, But will need him to bring width and consistency.

View attachment 248462
Nikolay Dimitrov
Young centre half, at 23 i think he could go on to be one of the best players at the club, still got a lot of development there, but will be part of this years 1st team squad.​
 
Transfer Activity
So after searching through the squad, it was thin, so here are some of the players & Staff i have brought in,

Stanislav Ivanov
I brought in Ivanov to give me a 3rd centre back and good competition for places, Signed on a free Transfer

View attachment 248414
Todor Kolev
Ive signed 24 year old Kolev as my first choice Left back, he's a good age with potential, and can play the whole left channel which could help me later in the season, Signed on a free Transfer from Kaliakra

View attachment 248409
Lyubomir Bozhinov
Certainly my best signing of the window, at 28 Lyubomir is entering his prime and looks like one of the best players in the league, hopefully he can be our engine in the midfield. Signed on a free.

View attachment 248407
Miroslav Nachev
Nachev has been brought in mainly as backup to Kolev, but he can also cover the centre back position. hopefully he can show some potential and force his way into the side. Signed on a free from svetkavitsa

View attachment 248404
Dimitar Vodenicharov
Final signing is Dimitar, Gives me a 4th Striker and at 26 should complement my 2 experienced guys, looks like he could lead the line for us this season. Signed on a free from Vitosha

Next Update will be Friendlies




 
Friendlies

View attachment 24839810 friendlies in total, 4 wins and 6 Loses,
I am quite happy with my Pre-season, some heavy defeats, but we are playing some good sides. we have been made 3rd Favorites for the league and hopefully we can look to get back up to the top division of Bulgarian Football.
Hopefully i can keep our finances OK, as the chairman wants me to sell players to re-coop some of the 15million debt we have.

Baydakov(pen 60)

Our 2nd trip of the season seen us drop points after some questionable referring decisions, we took the lead just before the break after a cross from Kolev was turned into his own net by Ivanov to give us a half time lead. The game sparked into life after 58 minutes when Bansko where given a penalty, despite our claims for a dive, Baydakov stepped up and watched his penalty get saved by our keeper, only for the referee to point to the spot again just 2 minutes later despite another questionable decision. second time around Baydakov made no mistake to level, despite our efforts to get a winner we fell just short.

After being paired against a smaller club than ourselves i thought this would be the opportunity to rotate, luckily i was fortunate as this was a hard fought win. A missed penalty and red card didn't help the cause but i was pleased with the spirit of the lads and also the performance of experienced striker Deyan Hristov who scored twice.

In front of the biggest crowd weve seen this season we finally got ourselves going away from home, switching to 5 at the back worked as we picked Lokomotiv off on the counter attack, Hirstov scoring another 2 goals(1 being a superb 18 yard header) to wrap up and impressive month, the 31 year old leading the line brilliantly in the absence of Atanasov.

Winter Break

What a first 6 months, Full of emotion and only just started,i took some time to visit the likes of sunny beach, i had to just get away and have some me time and i must admit i enjoyed it.
i was woken early on the 2nd January by a call from Mitko Sabev, He asked if i could attend a meeting with the director's and himself, he seemed off, like he had some bad news.
Later that day i arrived and we went through club business, Mitko spoke about how the club were struggling financially and how we were losing money every week, i was asked to try and remove some players from the squad, to save on all costs, a sheet was handed around with all costs that the club has, i noticed my name was top.
"I'll take a pay cut" i said, i felt i owed the club everything, they were apart of me and it was the least i could do, "No" said Mitko, we believe in you and your wage shall stay the same, we believe we should just get rid of the dead weight, and prepare for the introduction of some new youth players in March, "But Nick, we need promotion this season, We need to be back into the top league of Bulgarian Football, we believe in you, I know you can do it.
As we went into detail i found out a lot more about the finances of the Club, Mitko had loaned the Club over 10 million pounds, which meant really our debt was only around 4 Million pounds.
I began going through the players list over the next couple of days, there was some players i could move on for the better of the club, I began with 23 year old Borislav Borisov, the 23 year old winger hadn't featured all season, and was keen to get out, we agreed a termination and he left.
On the same day, I received 2 offers, Daniel Stamatov and Stoyan Kizhev, both hadn't played and to be honest probably wouldn't, as there contracts were up, fortunately the both moved on to Kaliakra and Marek respectfully.
We began our friendlies in early February, i on the other hand, had more interest on finding out what youngster's i have got to work with,
Here are our results....
View attachment 247690
Just before the transfer window shut, i managed to agree a mutual termination with Goalkeeper Petko Patsov.
So i rocked up on the 6th March, hoping for some brilliant news, Id been suggested just a couple,

Lazar Krastev & Yordan Angelov

Both look half decent, and will look to get them into the first team, Angelov unfortunately is a winger which will be tough.

As march drew to a close, i had a call from my good friend and agent Milen Georgiev.... "Nick, ive just noticed your contract is up in 2 months time and there has been no word about renewal, whats going on?" he asked, i knew that the club will still in financial trouble and Mitko did say to me i would be on a one year rolling contract until we got this sorted, But i felt as if i have done my job well and deserved a new deal. i wanted a pay cut, i felt i owed the club that, i was making enough with my other projects, i did however want clarification, before my agent looked elsewhere for me, I had to meet with Mitko sooner rather than later and sort out where my future lies.

First Day back!

Well after 2 weeks off on holiday i returned back to the club, As i arrived in my office i had 2 emails, the first was off Mitko, just letting me know my budgets for the season. I about dropped my cup of tea, my wage budget that was 4500 euros, has now been raised to 38,000 euros. and would have some transfer funds if required as well. The club looked as though it was turning a corner, which was fantastic news for myself.
The second email, was a bit more concerning, Mihael Orachev one of my most consistent players in Central Midfield had been made aware of interest in him, Mainly of Fc Kobenhaven of Denmark, I called him in for a meeting, i knew at 19 i didn't want to upset him. I spoke about his age and how i think he could improve here and go on to be a wonderful player, he admitted he didn't want to leave, but felt it might be a good opportunity, and asked if i would consider selling him should the club receive a fair price, I reluctantly agreed, I just hope that nobody comes in for him.
I began later that day to into bringing in players to keep us in the top division.
 
Pre Season

Transfers In

Well i had a feeling this summer would be tough, But i am very happy with the players i managed to bring in,
View attachment 247439
Aleksander Aleksandrov is a 21 year old central midfielder, He will be used as a rotation option to help him develop, Martin Raynov is a 23 year old central midfielder, he will be first choice as his looks outstanding. Rumen Nikolov is a Striker who will compete, and finally Sergio Diaz who is my first Non E.U Signing, looks very good for his age and could develop into something special.

Players Out

Mainly Squad players who were no longer needed, Although the one major bit of business we did was Mihael Orachev, He eventually went to Manchester United for 950k with add on's.
I personally didn't think he would be good enough for them, and has been shipped out on loan.

Our first home game and what a struggle, we learnt a lesson and hopefully we will learn from it. The red card made it tough for us, we definitely need 11 men at all times in this division.

Another wonderful away win, Montana came up with us last year yet we looked a different class, Bozhinov controlled the game and is starting to look a world class player.

We end august with another brilliant home win. Its been a great start to the league and hopefully we can push on during the next couple of months.

Transfers,
We were busy towards the end of the window, we Sold Tsonkov for 9,000 Euros and also sent Kaloynski out on loan to Silvnishi Geroy. After the window was shut, we did another Major bit of business. We agreed a fee with Amkar for the Sale of Centre back Nikolay Dimitrov, The fee is 400,000 Euros, with a 30% Sell on Clause.The Transfer now depends on personal terms and Medical.
 
September

We began September by confirming the sale of Nikolay Dimitrov to Amkar for 400,000 Euros. Soon after, Ivaylo Dimitrov was subject to a bid from Aj Auxerre, We negotiated to a 120,000 fee and he soon Moved to France. I looked to move early and i then agreed a deal to Bring centre back David Penchev from Botev(Galabovo).
