And the new season starts off on the same frustrating note that the previous ended on:

Bent is quite good on FM isn't he?

He's not anywhere close to 3,7m per year good.

Honestly shocked that there was anyone willing to take Bent and his utterly undeserved salary, but I guess to a newly promoted Leicester desperate for Premier League players taking him on a free actually makes sense. Pretty pleased to have gotten £5m for Vlaar as he was played out of the first team halfway through the previous season.

Got the three most promising talents in Scotland and the most promising player in the Championship in the same window and managed to add some much needed experience to my midfield. Wickham is an interesting reclamation project, could be a really good striker in there if he can manage to stay free from injuries.

But sacking a manager the day after you won the FA Cup is taking things to a whole new level:

Poor Sunderland conceding 100 goals in a season.

Has to be a Premier League record, surely?

Christian Benteke had a pretty good season, the Golden Boot...

So are you "cheating" and signing non-Basque 16-year-olds like most people with Athletic saves do or are you doing it the proper way?

And what on earth were Barca thinking letting Martinez go that cheaply?!?

Turns out I won't be making it to Europe regardless of the FA Cup result, it's a Liverpool derby in the final and neither club qualified through league position.

Useless cunts. The whole fucking lot of them. Fabian fucking Delph isn't playing another game for this club, the worthless, overpaid speck of bottling shite that he his. He can fuck right off back Yorkshire.

All the other results lined up perfectly for us, had these inept fucktards managed to play a decent game instead of forcing Brad Guzan into the game of his life against a side that was 16th in the league and had nothing, NOTHING to play for I would have finished third. Instead I'm now 7th and entirely reliant upon Liverpool losing the FA Cup final for my European place. I WANT TO BREAK THINGS.

Ridiculously close league with 3 games to go. Have West Ham, Stoke and Norwich in my final three games, so I've still got a decent shot at CL football but knowing how inconsistent this team has been we'll probably manage to fuck it up somehow.

Good to see another Villa story, I started the Moneyball challenge with them. Never won the league, or even qualified for the champs league (missed out a couple times) but did win the Europa league, the FA Cup 3 times and the league cup once and that was with the majority of the squad you start with. Helenius is an absolute beast, started him as an AMC set to attack lead the league in assists then when I sold Benteke pushed him up to a poacher and he lead the league twice for goals so keep him at all costs

Helenius seems to score a lot of goals late in matches. Think every goal he's scored for me may have come after the 80th minute.

So we followed the United game by doing this:

And then the next game this happened:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/g1WJUo5B12WJyuZ0eopkoSOqIAr127zVWcTo2mpR.png

For a spell of three games Libor Kozak went from being an utterly useless donkey to the Second Coming, playing like he was Ronaldo, Oliver Bierhoff and Francesco Totti all rolled into one. Alas, it was not to last as in the very next game regular service returned and we got hammered 3-1 by Spurs, with Kozak back to his usual worthless self.

Wanted to try something different, so I decided to start as a Premier League club for the first time in about 5 years.

Ultimately the decision came down to Aston Villa, a first-team that is filled with overpaid rubbish and a financial situation that is quite poor by Premier League standards but with great facilities, a couple of promising youngsters and from a big city so there is plenty of room for growth.

Ambition:

Establish Aston Villa as the dominant force in English football and do so primarily with British talent.

Goals:

Win the Premier League within 5 years.
Win the Champions League with a squad made up only of players from Great Britain and Ireland.
Have no more than 3 players not from Great Britain or Ireland in the first-team squad by the start of the 2015/16 season.
Have no players not from Great Britain or Ireland at the club by the start of the 2017/18 season.
Finish a season unbeaten in the league.
Do the Treble.
Become the most valuable and the most reputable club in the world.
Win the World Cup with England.

Conditions:

English leagues down to League Two and the top divisions of Scotland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal and the United States loaded with a large database. ~55,000 players.
Transfer budgets disabled in the first window and all pre-existing player injuries removed from the database.

2013/14 Season

Board Expectations:

Avoid relegation.

Wow top effort, none of us have got near a european final, some of us in our second or third season and you've won one already!?

Like I said in my career thread, I got really lucky in the draw and avoided all the big dogs. A lot easier to get places if you're drawn against Legia, Genk and Lazio than if I had ended up with a Chelsea or Juventus.

Pretty disappointed that I wasn't able to get rid of all the shit in the squad. Not pleased at all that I'll be spending ~£5m p/y on wages to a bunch of wankers so awful that no-one even wanted them for free.

Still managed to bring the club well out of the red and seriously improve the inexperienced midfield with Grenier. Have no idea how he was available so cheaply. Signed long-term on an incredibly reasonable salary too.

To be fair I got pretty much the easiest draw possible on the way there. Porto and then Spurs in the final were the only times I was really challenged.

Never had a game where I was as dominant as I was in the two legs against Lazio before, must have been like 60 to 6 in shot attempts, 12 to 1 in CCC's and held 65% of possession over both legs, just couldn't get a goal for some reason.
