#116938 The 'stache of Power
EXODDUS
Our end of season results were pretty fantastic, our exit from the FA Cup was embarassing to be honest, we were 2-1 up at half time then utterly collapsed. Bayern Munich were actually extremely lucky to knock us out of the Champions League, although we lost 2-1 away in the home leg we had a 2-0 lead at half time, in the end the refereeended the match as a contest, giving them a penalty then sending off Scotty Parker.
Finishing 3rd again was amazing, we were tied with Chelsea in first until picked up more and more injuries, I'm probably more disappointed that Chelsea won than that we didn't.
The board, as a reward for our fantastic finish gave us £20 million in the transfer pot, decided to expand the stadium and upgrade the youth and training facilities.
Delighted with some of our transfer buisness over the season, got a few more free transfersto join but other than that I think we're unlikely to be spending any more money.
Thoroughly delighted with one thing, the decision to promote Ange-Freddy Plumain to the first team, his development is fantastic and he is fast becomming first choice.
Star Performers
Bafetimbi Gomis played every single match and ended the season with 23 goals in all competitions, great free transfers.
Manuel Fernandes became a real star for us. Delighted with his contribution.
Scott Parker still the teams heart, slowing down a lot but consistent as anyone in this squad.

Been given a healthy if not generous £8.5 million budget, allowing a lot of players to leave at the end of the season.
Pleased with the signings and departures, also promoted Ange-Freddy Plumain and Dan Burn to the first team. At the beginning of December the board gave me another £5 million to spend so I've agreed a deal to bring Craig Dawson to the club.
We made a number of backroom changes, most of the original staff were coming to end of their contracts, Andy Crosby joined as our assistant manager and Rene Meulensteen to the coaching team.
The Season So Far
Our form has been cracking right up to December, no win in the last 5 is worrying but again the squad is paper thin and injuries have taken their toll. I'm unlikely to be able to sign many players until the summer so for now the squad will stay as is.
We're still doing well financially, the board have improved the youth and training facilities and agreed further improvements at the end of the season.

A great second half to the campaign too left us in a fantastic spot in the end.
Unbelievably finishing in third, I'm under no illusions about this, my team is not strong enough for the Champions League, I'm not exactly sure how we managed it, playing a very attacking formation against weaker/same strength sides while playing a defensive, counter attacking strategy against much stronger sides has paid off well.
My transfers up to this point are uninspiring but solid.
We also made a fantastic profit for the season, I'm hoping for a modest budget as the form of several players has been diabolical.
Star Performers
Scott Parker, easily the heart of the team and won the Goal of the Season award.
Hugo Rodallega, shocking I know, but his contributions were often vital, second highest scorer behing Berbatov
Fernando Amorebieta, scored 7 league goals and got our highest avg. rating

Currently, we sit 4th in the league, it's been a great year, and I've signed my first contract renewal. No new transfers in or out for now, although some have been agreed for the start of next season with Bafétimbi Gomis and Manuel Fernandes having signed deals to join on free transfers for next season. Financially we're in the black and the board have agreed upgrades to the youth facilities.
So far I'm thrilled with the season but we're beginning to pick up injuries, which with our incredibly thin squad is going to make the second half of the season interesting indeed.

Martin Jol Out!
Much to the shock of the supporters, New owner Shadid Khan has removed Martin Jol from his position as manager. Apparently the unmoustachioed manager was removed following the dismal end to the prior campaign and Khans belief that he needed a man with new ideas. That man is me.
My plan is very very simple, to try to finish in the top half, to turn a profit, and to lower the average age of the squad. It's going to be rough, going to be tough, but frankly what else is there to do? I hope to achieve a top 4 finish withing 4 seasons. Given that the starting transfer budget is only £2 million, I have made only 2 signings during pre-season.
IN:
Oguchi Onyewu - Free
Mahamadou Diarra - Free
Out
Only young players on loan
I have also agreed the transfer of Keisuke Honda on a free transfer in January, along with the departures of Keiran Richardson for £1.3 million and Philippe Senderos for 200k.

One of literally dozens of top notch South African regens in my game, the only one I managed to land I'm sad to say.
Already first choice, top notch!
Best player in the world?
He's been awesome, world player of the year 3 times in a row, sad to realise he's actually 31 now.
I have more but these are my favourites.

Seriously worried about replacing him when he retires to be honest.
#35222 Mattia Destro

I'm not complaining believe me, he's still awesome for me after 8 seasons, his goal ratio could be better but he's been my Mr. Consistant and always turns up in big games

Stricktly speaking, the whole dynamic league reputation system would mean that over time, if you were to achieve better results in Europe you would be able to begin making more money? I know this would theoretically take an eternity with a League so poorly rated but it's not impossible
#29232 Mattia Destro

He has beem excellent, and led my front line with class and determination, I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
#27825 Luke Shaw?
EXODDUS
Yeah he isn't developing too well, LB is proving a real problem area since I'm trying to have 2 top notch/future greats for each position where at least 1 of there is British, have Neil Taylor as my first choice but his errors are infuriting me. Signed Jack Robinson but apparently he's maxed out, and he's not much kop either. Very dissappointed, think he might have to be sold.

I've been using him recently as a BWM alongside Mateo Kovacic, he plays well in the role too and his passing still opens up defences.
