DIVISION 5 NEWS

A new Division 5 blog featuring all the news from around the league gets underway with a short issue today.
An encouraging 9 managers signed up for Division 5 and it is developing into an interesting race for promotion. Leaders Birmingham City are unmanaged after Sam Sam quit while they were top of the table. This was a surprising move but since he left Birmingham have managed to hold their position. Nottingham Forest are the club chasing Birmingham and lie 4 points adrift. Michael Hudson has the job of leading Forest to Division 4 at first attempt and is doing a fine job so far. Since losing the opening game of the season, Michael has remained unbeaten for the next 13 games.
Next come Ipswich Town managed by everybody's friend Cloughie. Again, only 1 defeat for Cloughie so far, ironically at the hands of Forest. Unmanaged Blackpool and Bolton follow Ipswich and then, just inside the play off places comes Dale Bowers and Wigan. Dale has 25pts from the 14 games and is usually there or thereabouts come the end of the season. Burnley, managed by Ben Langan, are next and although I don't know much about Ben, well nothing to be honest, he seems a good manager and one to be respected. My Derby County lie 8th and we are improving as the games go by and have currently won 3 in a row. Hopefully this run goes on for a bit longer. The Villain comes next with Torquay and I'm sure Josh picked them for the milder climate rather than the love of the team. He will be another one expecting rather than hoping to be in the shake up at the end.
A trio of unmanaged sides come next and then in 13th position is Mac The Hat with Aberdeen. Mac seems to like the teams that have a beach. Why this is will be a question I will be putting to him. He will disappointed with his position in the table and will be hoping to finish at least above Torquay. Father's shouls always finish above offspring. Preston are next without a boss and then comes Clint 'slippery slope' Brownfield and his Plymouth outfit. He usually starts well and then hits the slippery slope down the table. Maybe the opposite is going to happen in this league. Motherwell, Bury and Portsmouth are unmanaged and then come Hearts and Dale Piero languishing (sp) in 19th. That's second bottom Dale. What is going on there? Are you a Hibs fan in disguise? Dundee bring up the rear mainly because they are shit.

That's the introduction to the league and the bosses that are habiting within it. There will be league updates, results, previews and interviews as well as transfer news as the season goes on. Hope you all tune in.

S'laters.
