Ah very nice. Clasie had a moan about wanting to go to a bigger club at the end of the 1st season, but nobody came in for him and he asked to be removed from the transfer list. I have shipped Tonny Vilhena off on-loan to Malaga for the year as he was ineffective first season. They even paid me £100k per month for the privilege.

Absolute joke!
*** Got drawn against Sporting, so probably the easiest of the 5.
In other news, I bought Ricky Van Wolfswinkle, but stupidly forgot about Johnny Heitingas 'match highest earner clause, so now they're both on £40k p/w. Bad management on my part.

I lost my way bit on this one. I went crazy on loan signings, I thought the idea of lots of great players without the entirety of their massive contract would be a great way to try and sneak into the Champions League latter stages. It was a horrible failure.
Having sold Clasie for £20m the money went to my head and I wasn't thinking properly about the players I was bringing in.
Despite managing to beat Lyon over two legs, a horrific 5-1 home defeat to ADO Den Haag spelled the end of the loan experiment. Wallace, Sanogo, Sevinic, Douglas Santos and Angelo Henriquez were all sent home. But I decided to keep van Ginkel, Hofmann, Afellay (although he's on borrowed time) and van der Wiel (needed as desperate cover for the loss of Janmaat)
With a whopping £31.5m coming in, we did splash some cash, and went heavy on Wolfswinkel to help out Pelle, and kept some back to see how we fair in the UCL and Ere. Johnny Heitinga has also proven to be a poor acquisition, his attributes have diminished swiftly since moving to Holland (he wasnt exactly a world beater, but would stand out in Holland)
The defeat to ADH would be our last for a while, and two massive results over Sporting came as a huge shock and got us into the Champions League proper. Drawn against Benfica, Juventus and Copenhagen we're certainly far from favoured to qualify, and optimistically aiming for 3rd. We managed to defend for our lives in Portugal for a 0-0 and despite a drubbing performance by Juventus only conceded 1, however, Copenhagen managed a win against Benfica and they may prove to be a huge 3 points for them.
After being winless after 3 Ere games, we bounced back well, winning all bar an away draw to AZ where they scored in the 88th minute.
We sit happily towards the top, only behind two of the better teams in Holland. With the wind in our sails, injuries mounting up and the UCL in full swing we push on to the winter break to see if we can keep pace before the big push in 2015.

Haha, almost all the games have been pretty enjoyable to watch so far. I did stick FM on during the Iran Nigeria game though. I have finished my 2nd season now so will post up an update probably after the Brazil game.

A great performance a midst some hard times in Europe.

An overall more consistent season saw us just about end up on top of the league on the final day of the season. The last 9 games of the season saw us constantly switching between 1st & 2nd with both PSV and Ajax. Fortunately PSV fell away with a few draws towards the end of the season, and Ajax lost 1-0 away to FC Groningen on the penultimate fixture of their season. Fortunately we had a rather easy final fixture at home against Willem II which ended up in us taking the league.
In the KNVB Cup we again got all the way to the final before losing to Ajax. The Europa League group draw was a bit lenient on us, with only one defeat in the group stages. We had a tricky draw against Dnipro in the 1st KO round which we just about managed to win 3-2 on aggregate, and then pretty much dominated Braga in the next round. With some top teams in the Quarter-Final draw, I was happy with a draw against Dynamo Kyiv, but we never got going in either legs and ended up going out 4-1 on aggregate.
Much improved league form, and a decent run in both cups stands us in good stead for the final season. Champions League success next season is very unlikely, but should be a good test for my much-improved Feyenoord side.

I got sacked after like ten games on the Hungary tour and haven't been motivated to do the Feyenoord one.
Graz Doz Trez
A remarkable season!! Well done! - Who did you sign along the way?
Graz Doz Trez
Hopefully we get a kind draw!
*** No such luck as we get top of the Prem Man Utd. - although to be fair, there wasn't really any easy teams.

Is it three seasons yeah?
Graz Doz Trez
Yeah get cracking, I think it only lasts till 29th

no transfers dude, you know, poor finances. but dont think i would keep some of the ones like indi, classie, janmat and pelle (he was scoring like crazy, 42 in 49 games) for the coming seasons.
Graz Doz Trez
I wouldn't have believed it possible to keep any player fit for 49 games in Holland - let alone Pelle! no wonder you did so well. What's the secret of your fitness training?

assistant manager rullllezzz!
Indi, de Vrij and Schaken are over 50; Pelle, Nelom, Boetius and Immers are over 40 but Classie and Vilhuena are only 30 games.

Was still in the Europa League. We topped the group and had Spurs in the next round and we were also through to the semi-finals of the Dutch Cup too. Annoying because in the cups I was doing well, just the league form that let me down.
Points total: -25

One month after I get sacked.

Second in the league (again
Won the Dutch cup = 30 points
and lost to Man Utd in the first knockout round of the Champions League = 5 points (Surely qualifying from the Champions league group is better than say getting to the Dutch cup semis and perhaps a few other things on offer? I had to get past Lyon, Sporting, Juventus, Benfica and Copenhagen to get 5 points!! That's more than enough to win the Europa League!
Rivals:
PSV: WL = 5 points
Ajax: WL = 10 points
Season Two Total: 65
Season One total: 43

I'm quite pleased with the season, but I think the score I got doesn't really reflect how good it was.

Points for turning down 'bigger' clubs?

Director of football taking matters into his own hands.
hopefully I can spread the 20m around to really bolster the team.
Shedender
How much of the £20m do you actually get though?
Graz Doz Trez
The club gave me 100% transfer revenue... I'm nearly at the start of the season so I'll post my transfer history.
