Well Manager Simon Sheasby has looked over the number of candiates he was given for a feeder club and after much deliberation and thought about each clubs use for him and qualities he had decided to choose Belgian side KSK Beveren for the fact that he could easily send his non EU starlets who needed both experience and work permits to them for experience and a belgian passport. Saying in a press conference regarding the new feeder club he also annouced that every summer the two teams would hold a friendly at KSK Beverens ground with Beveren keeping the proceeds. And said “I believe KSK Beveren are a young Belgian side on the up and they have some amazing starlets at their disposal, I am hoping to possibly get to see what they are like in the next few years with the clubs scouts and future friendlies”

Sheasby is sure he has made the correct move here with a belgian feeder club as they can help him alot in the next few seasons.

48 hours into his new job and Sheasby has been busy at work trying to secure the signitures of american starlet Danny Szetela and English left back Leighton Baines. Sheasby said in a statement shortley after the captures of Szetela and Baines “I am thrilled to annouce that both Danny Szetela and Leighton Baines have agreed deal to join Arsenal football club, Danny will spend the summer training with us and playing in friendlys before agreeing to join a club on loan for more experience for 5 months” Sheasby went on to explain how Szetelas loan would work with him being able to play in the english cups and being able to be recalled by manager Sheasby at any point in the loan. Meanwhile Leighton Baines has been signed to bolster Sheasbys plans for the left defender position so defensive midfielder Mathieu Flamini can play in his prefered role of defensive midfielder. Baines has cost the club 5 million english pounds but according to Sheasby “He is worth every penny, I hope to see this young english left back shine under my new side” Sheasby then went on to say about his plans to bolster his back line and sign some future players for the front line and defense as well.

Both Danny Szetela and Leighton Baines released statements to the press regarding theyre new moves to Arsenal football club, of which read “We believe this is the correct move for me at the current time and it shall help further my career, Arsenal is a fantastic football club We are looking forward to working with Mr Sheasby both on and off the pitch”

A new era for the gunners

Well Arsenal have moved to a new home stadium of Ashburton Grove and they have in a shock move appointed ex international footballer Simon Sheasby as Manager.

David Dein said in a statement to the public “We have decided to go back to basics here at our new home, we decided at the end of last season we wanted to appoint an English manager and therefore Arsene Wenger has decided to hang his boots up for the time being taking time out to spend with his family.

As new manager Sheasby walked out onto the turf of Ashburton grove to be greated by cameras and the adoring press wearing a suit and a Arsenal scarf around his neck for good measure. Sheasby stood in the middle holding the scarf above his head and then moved onto a press release. This is a very memorable day for both me and Arsenal football club as i have come to my boy hood dream club. I have spent many seasons playing in England and abroad and that has shown me vast knowledge of both the English leagues and the greatest European leagues. Its funny when I think back to the days i was a trainee for Chesterfield football club, my home town club I never thought i would progress this far but alas I have and I am here today as the new manager of Arsenal. Thank you for coming to this press release and I hope to speak to you more in my future time at Ashburton Grove”

David Dein went on to explain Sheasbys contract at Arsenal starting with a years contract with a summary towards the end of the season to see if he is given another deal to stay as Arsenal manager.

Sheasby finished his statement by adding “I am looking at strengthing certain aspects of Arsenals current game and squad status” He then walked off typing numbers into his phone and placing it to his ear. Journalists are already speculating his is hot in the transfer market.
