Hahaha, I know you weren't being serious about getting him to reconsider - will he be able to join the coaching staff?

He might be, I haven't tried to enter talks with him yet!

Oh I hope so, maybe another 5 to 10 years yet but its where we want to be!

Sorry for the lack of updates lately guys, the other half is going on a coral reef expedition Wednesday so I've been running around after her. Also facing some motivational issues but will try and claw on!

Getting The Team Ready 2020...

Transfers Out:


https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/XPvbwCL6lCGxeHvCCQmTSMaAK22EXp1L8fj50B9m.png

All freebies this summer, biggest name is Shaun Wright Phillips who as now retired from football, haven't approached him about becoming a staff member. No money made though!


Transfers In:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/pk23taV1KosOhhc7J6gbvksLztSQ1a0UT7EoAgxs.png

Due to my poor motivation I could of cost the club big time this season. I had the money to spend but not the right players to sign and this saw us bring in just Anthony Bunn on loan form Southampton. The defender is a big prospect just hoping he is ready now for action.


Finances:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/N6ShH1dlt83tFPL8q3Ih7VvEetXZGxpJUB3cKYIe.png

Financially the club is the strongest its been in ages! We have just under two million pounds in the bank balance and if we can save ourselves from losing money every month we'd be doing just fine. Over two million pounds to spend on transfers if I was to find the right player(s) as well as over thirty five thousand pounds spare on the wage bill.


Friendlies:

Not a bad pre season, a small, short one thats for sure. We faced six games, won three, lost three, end of.

Surprised you only brought one player in during the summer chum. Didn't find the right players or just didn't want to sign many? Pre season wasn't too bad, a fifty percent record isn't bad and I'm interested to see how you fare this upcoming campaign.

Unmotivated to go searching this summer and didn't realise until it was too late, I think we will really struggle this season now and wouldn't be surprised if I get booted by the board but not much I can do

And if you got booted out by the "board" then that would be a harsh sacking IMO. I'm guessing you're predicted to finish twenty fourth/third/second in the Championship and expected to be relegated or do they expect you to finish higher?

Yeah I know man, just throwing it out there, we are predicted to finish 24th, board expect us to avoid relegation!

Congrats on the latest promotion! Championship will be tough, but I'm predicting you'll finish 15:th. No signings can be good, if you don't find what you want, better not end up with to many extra rotation players (who believe they are key players just because you said so once...).

I like the stab in the dark at 15th! Definitely take that come the end of the season buddy! Hopefully we are good enough to compete and not get blown away at this level!

Well, we've started life in the second tier of English football exactly as I had expected, terribly! We have already played five league games this season and picked up just three points. We lost to Villa, Stoke, Crewe and Q.P.R already this season whilst beating Peterborough. If it wasn't for Okafor we'd be in trouble. He has already netted four this season, Crouch has chipped in with a goal too

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/lEYuJpd8MZgVgwAGApV0ZJJPJFE1tnIO5dDFaCl4.png

We sit twenty second place, inside the relegation zone and potentially in trouble already, there are so many previous premier league teams in this division, possessing so much quality that we will just get left behind this season it seems!

Well, a better month results wise but it had to be in the competitions we were playing in. We picked up four points from a possible six in the league, drawing to Hull after taking the league three times and beating Derby. We lost to Bristol City in the Capital One Cup Third Round, annoyingly the League One side were the underdogs all game too! We are into the FA Trophy Second Qualifying Round and the Manchester Premier Cup Second Round.

Already three games in hand! This is ridiculous! Nonetheless, we are out the relegation zone at the moment however I fully expect us to dive back towards it over the coming few weeks! Its going to be a hard season thats for sure!

Not a bad start dude, a couple of wins on the board already, and if you can get a win against Burnley then even better (guessing they are one of the games in hand with Leicester and Ipswich).

Just hope you don't have too much fixture congestion. Good luck buddy, keep up the good work!

Just bring in freebies as well, they could turn out to be gems.

It's been a solid enough start to life in the Championship but you must be getting pissed off participating in the FA Trophy despite being a Championship side?
