Division 1 has had its ups and downs this season, not least for the guy’s hovering above the relegation zone. One such manager is Newcastle's Manager Dean Young who we caught up with to get his thoughts on a season where mid table mediocrity turned out to be a season of great triumph.

Dean Young took up the job at Newcastle Football Club after firstly Gazfx and then Joky were both sacked by the club. The fact they were bottom of the league with only 20 points a minus 35 goal difference, left a lot to be done!

Now that it has come to the end of the season, it is amazing to see the League table and to see that somehow Newcastle have managed to stay afloat. A new season in division one now beckons and with some extremely high expectations, nothing short of a promotion challenge will be accepted by the fans!

"When I was offered the chance to get back into management I snatched at it straight away, But it was to my amusement that it was Newcastle being a well known Middlesborough fan, and to make things worse they were rock bottom with a huge battle ahead.  I decided I had to stay positive and told my boy's to march on and prove they are worthy enough. I must admit I was amazed that with the release of the article by Gypsymuffin on Relegation candidates that we were not mentioned and used that to spur on the players. The standard has been set for the Club and I expect it to continue into next season hopefully we can get off to a good start and have a successful campaign next season."

With the league deadline now passed and all Matches completed the Managers are having a short break. The XBLN World Cup now underway  Newcastle's manager Dean Young is looking forward to the event and taking on the challenge of international football, who knows maybe he can work some small miracles on the world stage as well!
