Gaffer in shock retirement announcement!

On the eve of Almaty’s final game of the season, Sky News broke the news today that Gaffer Spratt has announced his retirement from the top post as Almaty Gaffer. After a three year spell which has brought one championship title and two 2nd place finishes the Gaffer said he’s taken the team as far as he can. When asked about the rumours that he had been approached by another club he strongly denied these allegations claiming Almaty was the only team for him.

The Gaffer is aiming to go out on a winning streak and hopes that his player put in a world class display of “pass and move” style they have been renowned for when they face the newly crowned champions FC Miracle tomorrow night. “I’d just love it if we beat… just love it” said Spratt “especially given that they haven’t been defeated yet this season”.

Almaty will welcome back Billy “The Kid” Murphy to the fold after a couple of week’s absence. Unfortunately they will have to do without the services of Marco “Soaking up the sun” Machado and Phil “pre-season” Smith. It is still unsure whether Alex “Libel” O’Donovan will make an appearance. It is rumoured that he was not happy about been shouted at by "plantation landowners" last week. It is tough being the only Catholic on the team!
