I did however give the back room staff a complete overhaul and brought in the talented Valdir De Moraes as my Assistant.
We had a solid campaign in the Bundesliga coming runners up as Bayern were just too much and ran away with the Title winning it by nearly 10 points. Lots of work to do to become the powerhouses we are aiming for.
We had a good champions league finishing 2nd in a group of Arsenal, Zenit and Red Bull Salazbury and were then haunted by the group winners Aresnal and knocked out in the Quarters.
Barca went on to win it.
Finally we did make one signing in the Winter and that was the young Dutch star Adam Maher from AZ for 7.5 million. As we will be playing 4-1-2-3 I was looking for a bit of flair to develop in the middle of the park and he looks like the real deal.
Apart from that it was nice to get the first season done and really start getting into this save and I look forward to turning this young Dortmund side into European giants.

Cheers Dan, looking forward to getting into my first Career of a new era.

We also had a few first team fringe players leave Signal Iduna Park. Scheiber and Grobkreatz bringing in a combined 10.5 million with Kirch and Sobiech leaving for 1.5 million each.
Now with all that going out we had alot of room to groom this club into my own.
First up was the glaring weakness I noticed at left back with Schemlzer who started most games last season and finished nearly a whole point average rating than the next lowest. This was not acceptable for my first choice left back. I was also looking for a more attacking fullback.
Lucas Digne
Having searched around for some young fullbacks I spotted Lucas Digne from Lille. The young wing back looked the perfect candidate for the spot and I managed to get him for 2.5 million with 5 million over 2 years.
At just 20 years of age the young Frenchman looks a class player. he already has all the top attributes of an attacking fullback and will only grow with games.
My next target was to start to look at replacing a deteriorating Wiedenfeller in goal. He has served Dortmund well but coming up 34 and his stats dropping quickly there is no time for sentiment when chasing glory. I wont ship him off yet as he is still more than good enough for cover but we need a top class Keeper.
Marc-Andre ter Stegen
So I went and completely wound up our neighbours Gladbach and signed the wonder boy Stegen. At 21 he is already one of the best Keepers in the world. Being from Gladbach and one of the best Keepers it was always going to be an expensive one. We managed to come to an agreement on 7.5 million with 12 million over 2 years.
More than happy to pay that though as I am getting a top class Keeper for probably 10 years. Just look at those stats.
One of the last things I realised was how damn lucky I was that Lewandoski didn't pick up a single injury. Considering he scored. 30 goals in 48 appearances and I didn't have a single decent option upfront apart from him I doubt we would have made the top 4 if he picked up a nasty injury.
I couldn't afford to have this happen next season especially with my only other senior striker Scheiber leaving I needed healthy competition for Lewandoski
Ademilson
I probably paid a little too much for 20 year old "wonderkid" Ademilson but I believe he will become something special and I believe he can give me a headache upfront.
He looks like he has all the stats to become a top striker but he needs the games and training to get him there.
So I have now got the core of my team together and will be looking to line up something like this.
Will of course rotate the fringe players in but that looks like it would be my strongest team. The last thing I would like to point out is that Moritz Lietner bought for 645k is keeping Maher out of the starting lineup at the moment.
Time to let the kids loose!

TorreZ
Thank you dude. Hopefully this team can become something special.

Cheers UEFA. Spurs, Madrid and Prague. Nothing like an easy passage through to the knockout stages...

Lewandoski has continued his top form and hasn't given Ademilson a sniff of a chance. Just one silly loss against HSV apart from that we are looking strong.
A good start to the our Champions League with a 2-1 victory over Spurs to put us joint top with Madrid who smashed Prague 4-0.
TorreZ
Then again who are Madrid when we are turning them over 3-1 in their own back yard. Unreal. We were amazing and deserved everything we got from that game,
We don't do quite in the CL apparently with the other group games of these months being an amazing 4-4 draw with Spurs. Just a 92nd equaliser from Hummels. No worries not like I needed to live to 25. Thankfully the Prague game was a bit quieter with a 2-1 win taking us top of the group.
We strolled through to the 3rd round of the DFB Pokal Cup thanks to a 4-1 win over Frankfurt.
Now to an amazing run in the league were we dropped only 2 points in 2 months. The highlight of October. Another 92nd goal. This time the winner against the old nemesis Bayern. I did enjoy that from Blaszczykowski.
We are now 4 points clear at the top and the unbeaten run does not look like its coming to an end any time soon™
Dan
TorreZ
Will do!

Not a point dropped in December and those green circles look damn sexy. Lewandoski picked up a knock and was out for a month but no worries as Ademilson decided to take his chance with 3 hands and started banging them in!
A good win against Nurnberg sees us through to the Quarters of the DFB Pokal Cup where we have of course been drawn against Bayern,
We are sitting pretty at the top of the Bundesliga 7 points ahead of Bayern as we enter the winter break. Its all looking very nice for us. Our unbeaten run is now at 22 games.
And if that wasn't enough for the month we repeated the score against Madrid at home and finished comfortably top of our group. That should give us a nice draw and hopefully look at progressing further.
Now we head into the Winter break will play a few friendlies. Doubt we will make any signings as I'm not a big fan of January transfers and we did alot of business in the Summer but I will keep my eyes pealed.

A good draw and I was very confident of making it threw to the Quarter Finals.
A comprehensive 4-2 win at home against them and then we played out a 2-2 draw to secure passage threw to the Quarter Finals. The surprises were Celtic and Newcastle knocking out Athletic and Shakhtar.
Hopefully we pick up an easier draw for the Quarters but the way we are playing I am confident no matter what.

As Kehl is getting on I needed to look for some cover to develop in the Defensive Midfield position. We have Sven Bender but he isn't going to be playing 50+ games a season and Kehl is 35 and coming to the end of his contract.
Cristeg looks like a decent buy and for 3.5 million It was a steal.
TorreZ
We continued our amazing form into the new year and pulled further ahead in the title race.
One of the bets things about this month is only 1 goal conceded in the league. Everything is starting to look very, very good.
11 points clear now and its looking like we are all but there. Need a huge slip up now to let it slide.
TorreZ
Well at least its not Bayern...
Damn...
At least we got the away fixture first. We are good enough to do this.
TorreZ
An awesome away performance puts us on the front foot for the home tie. I swear Madrid came out looking to hurt us. Nasty tackles flying in everywhere and taking Gotze out the game was just cheap. Thankfully hes only out for a week. Same for Bender.
We played swift counter attacking football and apart from a hell of a strike from Ronaldo they never threatened and 1-1 was probably a far result.
We just need to make sure we don't concede and early away goal and we stand a strong chance of progressing.
TorreZ
Madrid stepped it up in the second leg and unfortunately we couldn't match them. They were solid from start to finish and we couldn't break them down.
Would crack me up if Celtic went on to win it but I would prefer Juventus out of everyone to win it.
TorreZ
A last minute own goal saved us from losing only our second game of the season against Bayern. 3 draws aswell but i can accept them as we were focused on Madrid and Bayern. Thankfully though with 3 games to spare we have taken the Bundesliga title from Bayern and I plan to keep it for a very long time. Lets just hope Bayern don't win anything.

Final League standings. Very strong season would have been even better had I not lost 2 months. Still a cracking season and plan to keep the League title for a very long time.
