That Wimbledon game is slow going and my last save game with Leicester was good yet I had the same problem I have every year, having home grown player issues, so this time i have decided to end it once and for all by bringing back some old faces...the .fans weren't too happy but screw them hehe!

i even signed Cantona as Director of Football! brought in 6 new scouts and Alistair Stevenson as coach left everything intact.

also to make sure i have the best chance of gaining promotion and having the best possible squad to face the riguors of the premier 1st season i may have to blow the whole budget on players and staff. luckily the foxes have good financial backing due to the new owners. heres the best of who i brought in.
brought cokey and mcfadden into my last game and were excellent signings for any championship squad.

trying to keep this squad as domestic as possible so only 2 1st team foreigners brought in, need a good back-up to scheichel and en extra striker, carew looked quite tasty never had him before.

before the free transfer windows shut, i couldn't help myself, for 6K a week anyway!

also the end of december means people's contracts ending, snapped up this beauty for next season...
http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w3/djhooker1969/desilv_zps725a45d5.png
league-wise, a shit december but still loutering round the pay-offs, had a lot of away games so hoping the rut of home games brings rewards.

Only one new face to bolster the youth team, that's the transfer budget pretty much blown, so i'd better get promoted!

form has picked up and lingering around 3rd place so fairly pleased, konchesky looks out for the season so gotta nurture joey mattock like a babybird! not sure how yann kermorgant has scored 20 goals for charlton, he's shit!

only to go out 1-0 to chelsea.
All round though was a good season, and got there eventually!

pre-season went pretty well, good start to the 1st three games then hit a chelsea/man city sized wall which got better with a shock win against united in the league cup!

Sergio Gomez and Simon Cristofferson seem like amezing singings.

Great start of the season considering you already played Chelsea, ManC and ManU.

Always keep you eyes open for the amzing buys you sometimes get around this time of year. A lot of good players get unhappy due to lack of first team football.

Good luck.

Not too much to report, other than beat united again at home 1-0 heh rooney got sent off the dumbass. Had a bit of a run in the League Cup which got cut short by Man City. Got rid of Craig Shakespeare as Assistant manager finally and got someone with better judging abilities and all round coaching for 7 grand a week less!

Tom Cleverley, what a legend he turned out! had some strange results against big teams, managed to blag Leicester their 1st ever FA cup trophy and finish 5th place! christoffersson is the giant killer! scoring the winning goals against united and chelsea and arsenal in final game. a good final place which was to be expected due to the strength and depth of the squad.

A reasonable start to proceedings, with a lucky community shield win on penalties and being offered the england job due to Roy Hodgson retiring, which i took. Some boss signings too!
