Manager Dale's Rob-O-Klopp have equalled the record set by Butt Kickers in 1997 by winning the SFP title for 3 seasons in a row.

It means Dale has now donned the SFP crown 4 times in 8 seasons, and with the addition of 6 other honours to boot, he now goes top of the all time hall of fame down to his overall finishing position record. Beginning the season in 3rd place on the HOF list, Dale has leap-frogged SFP stalwarts Baynes Jnr. and Jermy Snr. to offically become the greatest manager in SFP history.

"Cheers chaps. Thanks to all, especially the Chairman, for another great season. Winning the league with Stones, Mustafi, Luiz and Ozil could be my greatest achivement yet."

In other news, Just The Tip escaped the wooden spoon on the final day, after 8 months at the bottom of the table, meaning it's manager Lucchesi who is left at the foot of the table resulting in his worst ever finish in 19 seasons.

One other manager of note is Pritchard Snr. who had a fantastic end to the campaign, claiming the June and July MOTM awards and with it 4th place - his highest ever finish in 19 seasons.

Crockford's Crackers receive their first piece of silverware in 23 years, as they hold on to win a hard fought SFP Cup final.

The unfortunate Perdoc Byzeusthians, who end up runners up in two cup finals in two weeks, took an early lead through Podence, before a Sterling brace and Greenwood strike put the Crackers in the driving seat. Oxlaide-Chamberlain got one back late on, but Perdoc couldn't find the extra goal that could have taken the final to a replay. It means Crackers have double the trophies in their cabinet, aswell as increasing their prize money fund by 1242%. Likewise, as a consolation, manager Baynes Snr. has added his first pennies to the prize pot in the form of a runners up payout.

Crackers boss Crockford was thrilled with the win:

"Thanks to everyone for their congratulations. Here at Crackers HQ we would like to acknowledge the contribution of our scouting and purchasing team, without whom none of this would have been possible. We will now be starting the process of looking at the best way to move into next season, especially to try to improve on a disappointing mid table league position."

After a nail biting encounter, that swung both ways over the course of 3 days, it was Wheelers that came out on top in this years 5ASide Cup.

After early goals from Jiminez and Mane Perdoce Byzeusthians looked to be on course to take the tie, but a late assist from Johnny Evans, and then rare goal from Declan Rice secured a 27:18 win, and record 4th 5ASide Cup honour for manager Walters. After a 3 year wait with no silverware, one of the most decorated managers in SFP history is hoping this is the begining of a re-birth:

"Chuffed to have set a record 4th win at Wheelers HQ. Laying foundations for a title challenge next season. We are coming for you Dale. The bear has woken."

Meanwhile, Perdoc boss Baynes Snr. was gracious in defeat, and now has a second final to prepare for against Crockford's Crackers:

"Saved their best score for the final, hats off and congratulations to Wheelers. Onto the next final now then - you wait 8 years for a final then two arrive together, eh?"

It should really have been announced a week or so ago, but here at SFP towers we've taken a rainy day opportunity to update manager Dale with his latest honour.

Early in lockdown it was suggested we run a Bundesliga Fantasy league, and with 8 managers taking part an official honour has been accredited. Low and behold, manager Dale's talent for spotting a player extends far across Europe, as the German version of the SFP outfit were convincing Champions.

Consequently, it all means that Dale can now become the greatest SFP manager of all time, if he successfully adds a 4th SFP title to the trophy cabinent at the end of July.
