Manager: Mike (Surrey)
Twitter name: @mister76mike
Since: Debut
Trophy cabinet: Empty
Sympathies: Everton
Darts music: You’re the best around – Joe Esposito
Outlook: Tentative debut auction for the Woking manager, with dogged pursuit of Sorensen and Ireland raising eyebrows in some quarters. Twitter lawyers stood down after frozen snack expert Rio Ferdinand lost on a Bramble and replaced by Gabriel Tamas. Micah Richards sidelined with injury for a month.
