Great month to finish the season! Waynne Owen was on fire, 3 fucking hat-tricks in one month, as was Giovinco. Unfortunately I did leave it too late to get into the playoffs, but still, positives going into the offseason!

March looked like it belonged to Giovinco! That's a lot of goals from him. After that some mixed beans (fagiola mista). But a couple of wins could see you climb quite a few places in the table.

He has been ohmazing! I'm sad he is retiring at the end of the year, Giovinco has carried me this season. Yeah we need to turn it around to solidify a decent position.

a 5-5 draw and a 5-4 defeat! wow!! haha! mixed few months but your doing well mate


Haha yeah. Some wild ones here at the end of the year. Appreciate it

UGHHH 91 and 94 minute goals cost us the victory at Nocerina! Needed those 3 points as we were 11th and they were 21st. After a shit Virtus performance when we had more shots/ SOT, and posession, we are on a little winning streak

Another solid month, but in reality one where I'm left thinking what could have been. Had the 3-2 in victory over Modena, then let them score two in the last 8 minutes to give up a guaranteed 3 points for 0!

Something that made this month difficult is the fact that my starting keeper has been injured since the Cremonese game, in such we should have won both games afterwards, but the keeping/defending was suspect. One of the goals in the Bari game was them clearing defensively from their 18, it bounced over our keeper who ran out to our 18

More of the same.

Not much transfer news of note, bought 1 other youngster for peanuts, loaned out a few reserves and backups, and sold a backup DRC who had done shit all for me.

Hahaha it sure is!! Well done on another solid month mate, moving in the right direction!

haha I know man, it's exciting. Transfer season is always fun when it matches up with good form.

Decent fees from 2 players leaving the club


I was quite chuffed to get so much for them! Have gone well past the record fees received this year due to all the relegation ragers.

Another really good month. Obviously disappointed with our defeat at Sassuolo considering they were in a run of poor form and right around us in the table. Also would have liked to have picked up the 3 points at home against Vicenza considering their lowly league standings, but those are the only complaints one could have with this mese di Natale

The stunning performance against Lanciano will definitely give us a boost going into 2022!!

Some transfer news to start the month off! Vidalá wanted to go back to his native Argentina with his only other career club Boca, so I decided to let him go even though he is a great player, that's just the kind of manager I am. In the same "that's me" vein, Kalenga got too big for his britches, so I told him he could rot in the reserves and accepted the first decent offer to let him feck off. Although he is a future star and great player, I don't need that type of player on my team. The 3 free transfers in the previous months all had to sit around unregistered until now, so as they will all be making their first appearances, it's like they're January transfers. I also rate Depay, even though his career in this game hasn't turned out like it's possible in others, the price was so cheap I thought why not.

Poor performance to start the month against Pisa and it made me think "oh no, here we go again"

But alas, a great win against Reggina away. Almost gave it away in the end, but were able to walk away with the 3 points.

A GREAT home performance against Grosseto! Kalenga with an awesome hat-trick to pick his confidence up!

Ugh. We've had alot of disallowed goals so far this season.

Annoyingly, our performances haven't really deserved much, but was delighted to pick up the 3 points against Modena.

The Bé strike that earned us the draw at home against Cagliari was a 30 yard screamer, which gave me a smirk.

ughhhh. Started decently with a solid cup win but now it's gone a tad pear shaped in the beginning. Suppose it'll be another long season, however I am confident we won't be relegated, but maybe finish in the bottom half.

In terms of transfers, was able to loan out the last rager from relegation, the South-African midfielder Patosi, to Olhanense over in Portugal.

Higuaín (17 y.o. DC)
Mazza (16 y.o. ST/AMRLC)
Ceccoli (16 y.o. DLC/WBL)
And brought back Tomassini after letting him go on a free, because I didn't want him to go clubless and retire just after becoming the nation's historical top scorer


Let a ton of Free's go. Sold or loaned out as many of the guys raging about the relegation as I could, for the best prices I could manage. Co-owned Vadalá with Juve, so it's nice to be able to hold onto him. Those that came in are mostly regens or role players with some experience. Biassaadila and Koumourias are some excitingly talented youngsters though! Team is really not too good might just need to stabilize in the Serie B for a few seasons like I originally intended.

P.S. Sorry about the lack of update for a month, been quite busy!

With his brace in the Bolivia game Tomassini has passed the greatest player in Sammarinese history, Andy Selva, for the international goals record. These are the neat things that I am hoping will occur in the coming years that I can attribute to my doings

Blegh. Lucky to escape a home draw with Haiti poor. I did put out almost an entirely different team than the Bolivia game though, different = weaker. So I suppose that has something to do with it.

Welp, I posted about the Milan game, we got dominated.

In the Juve game I sent all those that requested transfers following our relegation to the reserves, and put every Sammarinese on my team not out on loan in the Senior squad, so to say the team that played Juventus was weak is an understatement. 19 tear old half-star Sammarinese regens vs. Carlos Fierro, Cabaye, Pogba, etc haha

A fitting final loss to our parent club Palermo. Took the lead early through a 17 year old who I had given a contract the day before, so he has 1 Serie A appearance and 1 Serie A goal which is neat, and then lost it all.

The stadium expansion from last season was completed the day after the Juve game, so I never got to play a game in it, since we have to move to another stadium for this expansion that will take 11 months.
