Week 08: Three

Magic  

In spite of modern day technology and billions of dollars being pumped into all sorts of research programmes around the globe, there remains no actual definitive evidence to clearly demonstrate without a doubt that Three is in fact the magic number.

Three is, however, the number of managers sharing this week's Manager of the Week Certificate.

Yes, aye and not no.

Indeed, Rick Beecroft, Jon King and Sarah Bielby all tear off a rough strip of a rough third of the mythical certificate.  Each manager scores a not-unique 17 points for their respective teams.

Lord Beeky McBeecroft also deserves a mention for his Manager of the Month achievement for September.  His RS-TBOY scored a total of 33 points throughout last month.

 9 Didcot Rovers                24
10 Livercoolio                  24

And Lord Beeky ALSO deserves another mention for being the manager with fewest transfers remaining for the season so far.

This is not something to boast about.

This leaves three accolades for Mr Beecroft, all in one week's Studmarks.

At last: proof that Three is very much the magic number.
