#250166 Fola's Career [FM15]
Fola
Good to see that Luke Young is still in the top five despite not being a strong as previous seasons. George Green was our top goalscorer so no surprises seeing him leading the way. Luke Young had been top for the past seven seasons so its a shame, I just hope next season it will be him again. Moller Daehli is a player with good pedigree, whilst Bonazzoli was formerly of Inter and Manchester United so he's a well known player. Clotet only arrived in January so it's surprising to see him in the top five.

Finances are looking very tasty. It's great to see the progression we have as a club over the past seven seasons. We still have the lowest wages in the Premier League with my highest wage on a player being £25k a week which is really small in comparison to other clubs in this league. I pay a great amount of detail into the wage structure at the club and have decided that no player will earn over £40k a week next season, if a player wants that much, then this club isn't for them.
I want to make this club successful and rich at the same time. Hopefully this wage structure can help me towards this.
Here are the finances when I took over at the club seven seasons ago:

We did it! We only gained promotion from the Championship last season but next season we will be playing in Europe, I can't quite believe it. As I have said many a time, the majority of this squad is the same squad that I've had for the past few seasons so to qualify for the Europa League is a real shock.
We actually played quite poorly in our final ten matches but thanks to two good draws in the final two games, we managed to qualify. It took a late own goal in the Stoke match to grab us a draw meaning we needed results to go our way in our final game. We managed a 2-2 draw against Manchester City in the last game thanks to goals from Luke Young and Tafari Zuill whilst Stoke lost meaning Europa League football was secured. I was really happy to see Luke Young grab such an important goal for us. He has been with us since our days in the Conference and despite not doing as well as previous seasons, he still managed three goals and will still be an important part of my side for years to come.
As you can see, Everton got relegated so I may have a look at what players they have that I can poach. I haven't received next seasons budget yet but Southampton as also in the Championship and have James Ward-Prowse so he's another player I'm interested in. Once again, I won't bring in a whole host of players in the Summer. Throughout this career I have been loyal to my current players and they have done brilliant for me. Apart from Moller-Daehli, Greeb and Bonazzoli my starting eleven have been with me for a considerable amount of seasons so I will be sticking with them.
I'm delighted to have been able to qualify for the Europa League and I will update you on all my player stats etc tonight.

Disappointing to lose our first ever Champions League game but hopefully we'll do alright in the rest of them.

Atletico made an offer for our left back; Jacob Kun. I rejected it and gave him a new deal so he's staying for the time being which is good news.

Nice to end my horrible run with a win. The league still isn't mathematically out of the question but fourth place should now be our priority.

Embarrassing.
Thankfully for you guys I only have one game left before I pass the save on.

Poor discipline, poor result, performance.
Poor.
#248568 Succession Game

Battered.
We're in fourth place now so I seem to have fucked up our chance of the title after these losses to our rivals. 4th place is still on the cards though, Champions League for a side that was in the Championship two seasons ago is still good work.

Nice to grab a win after two defeats. I dropped Rebello as he's been very poor for me and played Jon Taylor so it was nice to see him bag a goal.

Very poor. Battered from start to finish.

Damn. Out of the FA Cup.

Cost us quite a lot but he's a player I feel can strengthen us in years to come. He becomes our highest ever transfer by a long way but we still have around £10 million to spend and will obviously get a lot of money next season through television rights etc.
At only 22 years of age, this guy can only get better.

Very poor against Watford who were in the relegation zone.

Have to have a replay against Newcastle. Would be nice to win the FA Cup.

So we have eight matches remaining and Europa League looks like it could definitely be on the cards. At the start of the season, I stated that survival was my priority and we seem to have done that so I am now looking to push on for Europe.
* - The loss to Wolves was in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
One major worrying thing is the fact that we haven't scored in our last five matches. In my six seasons at the club, scoring goals has never been a problem but we have faltered in our last five and have actually look quite poor. I'll be gutted if we continue this bad form as it's happening at such an important stage of the season for us. Europa League for a side that was in the Conference only seven seasons ago would be a great feat, just hope we can do it.
Before our poor run, we actually were doing quite well in the league. George Green was grabbing all the plaudits and was actually named player of the month for January. He's done really well since his move from Everton in the Summer, I just hope he can re-find his form for the remaining eight matches.
I'll update you again at the end of the season and hopefully we'll be in the Europa League slots. Fingers crossed! Is it 5th and 6th that get Europa League yeah?
