The budget is good but we do not have to buy some players. There is competition for the starting eleven and the team is going forward."
It was the third title for philipmanu after 5 seasons in charge of the Dramms.He is a succesful maltese manager that is what the Dramms wanted.The Dramms are now waiting the new teams in div 2 after the play-offs.
It must also be noted that ygueve Esgog has reitired after six seasons at the Dramms.He was a legend for the Dramms and helped the Dramms to win three titles.
Philipmanu stated:
"It is a really big blow for us. He was the best the player by far for the Dramms.I did not expect him to retire but it was his decision and not mine. He has left and now someone has to fill his boots."
The Dramms were not very busy this season in the transfer market. The splashed out fifteen million for Cravolsa and got a bargain of 2.5 million for a really young talent that has an estimated valuue of nine million. Ygueve Esgog has left leaving place for some young talent to fill in his place.
Next Year the maneger philip will try to offload some players who are reaching their retiring point at a very bargain price.
