Not sure how long i'll last until i'm sacked but thought it'll be worth a go trying to keep them in the Premier League. Budgets are off a usual for the first window so the only deals i can make are non fee paying loans, which is proving bloody hard ffs. Got a terrible injury list as well so the small squad is already pushed to its limits (sadly i loaded the game before the Iturbe deal went through). My only signing so far was to get Glenn Hoddle is as my director of football.

Aug/Sep/Oct

So 3 months and we're not in that relegation zone yet, just. Was playing a 4-4-2 but for the last couple of games i changed to 5-3-2 and played quite defensively, this (luckily) got us a win at Goodison Park followed by a draw at the Britannia Stadium. Am certainly in the market for players when January arrives but i'm a little worried about what kind of finances i'll be given as we only currently have £6m (that includes an £11m profit so far this season) in the bank, which makes no sense whatsoever as surely the club would have been given a share of the TV deal at the start of the season. Something which has clearly been missed by the makers. I mean i'm not expecting to be given £££'s to spend even if we had it but just getting into the Prem should have seen the newly promoted sides bank balances looking a lot healthier, unless they were already £80m in debt which i highly doubt...

Nov/Dec

Well this is proving much harder than i ever imagined, its been impossible to find a settled formation as i just lose every game no matter what i try. I do have players coming in and am still looking for more, sadly even Championship players are massively overpriced. Its gonna be a long second half to the season with relegation looking a certainty

Wow that is not good. How close are you to the sack? That sucks mate.

Try like a 4-1-4-1 counter/defensive tactic.

At least Watford are making you look good haha, that's tough mate hopefully if you can get a win or two you might be able to raise the spirits and get a run going. Keep plugging away.

Board are still 'satisfied' somehow, have changed to a narrow 4-1-2-1-2 to see how that fairs, the new signings should gave me a bit more flexibility in what formations i can use.

January 1st Signings

Dwight Gayle is a brilliant signing. If you do go down (hopefully not), you should have a good side to get you back up.

Fingers crossed mate, really enjoying this.

Your signings were very good but you def should have picked up a couple of the really cheap wonderkids like zikovic, jovic, basically anyone under the age of 20 at boca in argentina.

As expected we've been relegated but luckily i've not been sacked, need to have a clear out of the highest earners though as we're now spending £100k a week over our wage budget...

Season 2 Midway Point

Still hanging on to my job somehow, mainly because the board are happy with a table finish which i guess kinda shows how bad Bournemouth are despite just being relegated. The Premiership parachute payment did help us out financially so have stayed out of the red, plus the sale of our highest earners has meant the wage budget has been well under too for the most part.

Obviously the Championship is a league where anyone can beat anyone and if you're not consistent (which we definitely are not) you're gonna struggle.

Was fairly busy transfer wise, also have Paddy McNair arriving in January for £3m from Man Utd.

I'm really surprised you didn't get the chop following relegation - seems to be the trend on my current save.

Resigned from Bournemouth with 6 games to go, we wasn't gonna make the play off's so decided it was time to go, Birmingham (league 1) then came knocking straight away so have taken the job but don't plan on staying long though hopefully a promotion will look good on my CV
