Football Season Guide

Ostersunds were actually in the Allsvenskan mix at the halfway stage of the season, but they had some awful spells which dented any hopes of an unlikely championship, and in the end they had to settle for a sixth place that could've been a lot better. It was slightly disappointing, but it could also have been worse with inspirational head coach Graham Potter deciding to leave for Swansea City in the summer. Ian Burchnall was tasked with making sure there was as little upheaval as possible and to be fair the Englishman did a sterling job of that. But, without any managerial merrygorounds to disrup their season this time around, they will be aiming for the top five this season surely. The squad looks pretty strong, with Burchnall once again chancing his arm with British players that have bought into the Ostersunds way of doing things. Eyebrows have been raised as misfit Ravel Morrison has been brought into the midfield. It seems an odd pair up, but Ostersunds might just be the left field solution to Morrison's up until now stagnating career. Burchnall will hope he can get the best out of him with shrewd man management.
