Club level:-    End of season in most European leagues so promotion and relegation news is the key.  In England, Leeds have been promoted to the Championship for the 2010/11 season.  Great news for our Aussie contingent of Kilkenny and Kisnorbo. While in Italy, Adrian Madaschi's Portosummaga have won promotion to Serie B.  Carl Valeri's team Sassuolo are in the playoffs for promotion to Serie A. Overall a reasonable outcome for our Aussies Abroad.  The outlier being the Aussies at Middlesborough, they will be looking to return to the EPL next season and underperforming this season.  On the relegation front, Richard Garcia's Hull City have dropped out of the EPL.  Italy club, AC Siena have dropped to Serie B.  We have a presence there with Francesco Stella playing in the youth team and Richard Porta out of loan to River Plate in Uruguay. While in Croatia, Dan Georgievski's Medimurje have dropped back to the second tier after only one season in the top flight.  Several Aussies playing on loan at clubs that have now been relegated - Djite, Storey, McGowan and Visconte.  Those leagues that are in season are generally going on a break during the World Cup, but Asian competitions, Scandinavia and the USA have been playing throughout May.

National level :-     In case you hadn't noticed, World Cup fever is upon us.  At the time of writing, we are waiting to hear the final squad of 23 players.  Wins against New Zealand and Denmark can only help confidence. No need to comment on the in's and out's any further, just pass on best wishes and support to the guys that will do us proud in South Africa.

Transfers :-     End of season means end of loan periods, so many guys returning to the lists of their employer.  Expect to see significant movement over the next two months before the main competitions start up again.  The HAL are being majority beneficiaries with many players returning to our shores.
