So my two months have come to an end, already and its not been a bad stint!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/eesksaMW7hJQrtU1wI515kjLSCp0OJm8gDxC2GWk.png

We expectedly crashed out of Europe following a second leg defeat against PSG, we already trailed from the first leg so wasn't too worried. We went on to smash Celtic to pick u p the league cup! In the league we dropped all points against Celtic and then two points against Aberdeen, apart from that we were perfect with four wins on the bounce now including a one nil win over Celtic and then a six three win over Rangers.

The title isn't lost....yet! Its down to Shedender now with just two league games to do and potentially our biggest two! We need two wins from these two games and need Celtic to drop points and it has to be all three points! Celtic face Rangers on the final day of the season, could it be?

Great work Dan! Very very quick

great signings both of them look excellent! We just need to get rid of a few players in the summer to reduce the wage bill and the amount of players we have! Great form too brilliant we have won a trophy with the league cup a very high scoring win too! Always going to be hard against PSG but it wasn't a bad result scoring 4 goals over 2 games. Great wins in the league too shame about that loss to Celtic but the win in the return fixture is brilliant! Trubitsyn has been a great replacement for Cohen! Rangers have a good record against Celtic especially at home so you never know!

Great win at 2-0 down you must have been a bit worried! And good too see Celtic draw! Any dropped points from them against Rangers and a win for us and we are champions.

It's a tough fixture to end the season though, would rather have had a home game, not Hearts away.

So the final game of the campaign was played as we faced a tough trip to Tynecastle to face Hearts - a win in Edinburgh and a draw or defeat for Celtic in the Old Firm clash at home to Rangers would see us 'announced' as Scottish Premiership champions for season 2028/2029.

Was the thumping 4-0 away victory enough to secure the title?

I'd previously accepted the bid for him, should I sell or decline? Remember, we only get 50% of all transfer sales.

The same goes for Claudio Rivero too.

Our finances aren't great as it is, if you feel we could cover him with the team we've got or bring in someone else then do it, he's only going to devalue now over the net couple of seasons!

Yeah as Dan said our finances are not great and we need to sell at least one centre back as we now have alot!

So I decided to let him (Zoran Grubisic) leave the club as we're signing two central defenders in the summer, Claudio Rivero, Dawid Bortnik and Michael Porteous also departed the club while Darren Murray was released and Iker Muniain hung up his boots. Mehdi Duquenoy is in talks with Derby and I was planning on selling Jack Miller as we don't really need three keepers IMO.

Quite a few players (nine I believe) joined this summer - they are in the spoiler below:

I'm also upset, CSKA Moscow decided to release my 'friend' Bradley Barton - he wants a shit load in wages so we won't be reunited with him.

Our star striker was also a wanted man, I declined ALL transfer bids from him because he's absolutely excellent and is irreplaceable....at this moment in time.

Great signings mate! Good job selling some players! It's a shame you let Porteous go as despite his stats not being very good he was excellent for me but it's ok. I will try and sell Miller as we definitely don't need 3 goalkeepers. Shame we couldn't afford Barton, hopefully Trubitsyn will carry on his great form into this season!

I have got rid of a fair few players! The Duquenoy and Festus deals were already agreed so I just confirmed them. Gavranovic did well but he is quite old now and we had alot of attacking midfielders. Bogunovic went because we got a good fee for him and we needed to get rid of another centre back. I noticed Berard was on 60k a week and he was not even a starter so I decided to let him go we also made a profit as he was bought on a free! And he has moved on to a huge 94k a week at Shakhtar. This allowed me to bring Bradly Barton back! He looks excellent and with the sales we are still quite far under the wage budget! Quinn and Hatch have also left. Quinn was never going to get a game and we didn't need 3 keepers and Miller wouldn't go so I sold Hatch instead.

Great start to the season! It was a great game and Dundee United probably deserved a point but we were much more clinical Trubitsyn and Malone taking their chances! Celtic losing 3-2 in the last minute after being 2-0 up away at Hibs makes it even better!

A very good 2nd game too, both games we could have drawn but we have come away with wins. Mackay missed a great chance for them at 1-0 which could have seen us off. Malone was brilliant in this game! The goal he scored to bring it back to 1-1 was a great strike and he completed a brilliant hat trick from left wing and he has 4 in 2 games so far this season! Barton also played his first minutes on his return! O'Halloran has also been brilliant in both of the first 2 games making some crucial saves!

With Dario Vincenzo Stante out long term, have you considered bringing in another centre back, even on loan for the season?

Oh and welcome home Bradley

never thought we'd get him back, especially on a free.

We've got some great additions on free transfers this summer, just looking at their values we could turn them into huge profit even after a season, however its good that we got Bradley back. Also great start to the season George, two strong wins from two! Malone started brilliantly!

Well I don't know what to say I changed the team a bit to view all the players but we were so so poor. Awful performance we didn't turn up at all with some awful ratings. The only positive of sorts is Israel getting his first for the club!

Much better. Good return after that defeat but we did go one nil down in this one too and I was worried then but Torri scored with a good finish into the corner. Koumane squeezed in a pen and then his free kick was headed in brilliantly by Marten!

A win against Hearts! A good 1-0 win. We didn't play too well and we could have easily conceded a goal if not 2. But we created a few chances too and Armstrong won it for us with 13 minutes left with a great strike into the roof of the net after a good knock down by Trubitsyn.

At least we've recovered from that mauling at Ibrox and sitting in second place. Tough Champions League group this time around but we could take second place if we're lucky and win our three home games along with picking up some sort of result away from home. Didn't deserve to beat Hearts though, can't believe we were awful.

Good luck Dan.

Yeah we are yet to play well in any games so far this season. But as long as we are getting results it doesn't bother me. The game against Rangers was awful. Tough champions league group but hopefully we can beat Lech home and away and draw with Schalke away but beat them at home we should go through.
