Cheers pal. I was more surprised at how poorly PSG played rather then how well we done. Great achievement in my first season.
I've also done my transfer business for my second season in charge of Real Madrid . . .
In:
Andrija Zivkovic - Partizan - Free
Alvaro Morata - Juventus - £21.5m (buy back fee clause)
Timo Horn - Koln - £6.5m
Juan Mata - Manchester United - £70m
Aymeric Laporte - Manchester United - £60m
Ki Sung-Yeung - Chelsea - £4.8m (signed to potentially 'boost' shirt sales in South Korea)
Federico Valverde - Penarol - £3.6m (was already arranged, may never actually play for us)
Mario Balotelli - Liverpool - £9.5m (was desperate for a back-up striker, obvious much?)
Out: (major ones only)
Karim Benzema - Manchester United - £70m
Casemiro - Arsenal - £32.5m
Denis Cheryshev - Zenit St. Petersburg - £2.5m
Pepe - Tottenham Hotspur - £1m
Alvaro Arbeloa - Newcastle United - £775k
I've already won the European Super Cup this season as we beat Tottenham on penalties but we completely battered them and perhaps should have won it inside the ninety minutes but a goal in stoppage time from I believe Dele Alli denied us but we beat them on spot kicks. We also won the Spanish Super Cup with an easy enough victory (4-0 on aggregate) against Valencia while, as expected, we've had a promising start to the season including a 7-0 win at home to Espanyol - Alvaro Morata bagging four goals and Cristiano Ronaldo a treble in his first game back since the Olympics.
Don't know if we're going to retain the Champions League this season but we'll give it a damn good go.

And the last signing of the transfer window has seen me complete the purchase of former Birmingham City right back Adam Todd for a fee that'll rise to £20 million pounds. Todd's 26 years old so has good enough experience and will be first choice.
Now with the business all done, the main question needs to be asked - how quickly will the players gel?

Yet again the cash has been 'splashed' as I've purchased another
centre backleft back as Welsh international (well, at least I hope he's an international) Greg Collins has arrived from Southampton for a fee believed to be around thirty five million pounds. He's only twenty so he's got around fifteen years at the club, if he performs well.#330645 Gendo, We're Coming For You - A Dan & Shedender BSC Succession Save

We both agreed that a new shot stopper was a must and I've splashed more cash to bring in England's first choice goalkeeper Gary Swift to the club for a fee that'll raise to £44 million pounds but I feel he'll be well worth the dosh. He's 27 years old so has good experience at not just club level but international level too.

For some reason @Dan forgot to sign a left back so I've brought in Conor Mitchell from Scottish side Inverness.

Just won the Champions League for the first time since I won it with Rangers on a previous Football Manager game (2014?) after we beat French side Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 in Milan. Thought I'd post it in this thread because we completely dominated the final as PSG had zero attempts on target. An own goal from shotstopper Kevin Trapp and a Gareth Bale goal sealed an eleventh Champions League trophy. Marcelo was sent off but c'est le vie.

Even though I only played two games since arriving at Tottenham but I'm uploading the game to @Dan who'll get to finish the campaign and start our quest of trying to get an entire squad of British and Irish based players. We are in fourteenth place but we've played two games more than third bottom West Brom.

Out of the bottom three after a deserved 2-0 win away at Swansea thanks to a goal in either half.

Yeeeah, couldn't have asked for a tougher first match as we lose 3-0 at home to Manchester United. Darren Ford, who complained about wanting first team football, decided to get sent off (as you f*cking do!) but yeah, this season is all about finishing as low as seventeenth and then next season we can try and build an British/Irish side.

WE GOT OFFERED A JOB!
Now they're sixteenth in the Premier League and have quite a few foreign based players in the squad now the question needs to be asked @Dan, do we use them until the end of the current season before making wholesale changes in the summer? We're unable to delay it until the end of the season due to being unemployed.

And we've just had a third unsuccessful interview, we'll never get another job at this rate. Heading 2 years unemployed.

Completely battered Getafe on the road, having 40 shots with 12 of them on target but yet we lose 2-0. Frustrating stuff!

An update on my game and we've been crowned La Liga champions but that's not overly surprising as we were 20-odd points clear at the summit but we've also progressed in the Champions League after seeing off Juventus 2-0 on aggregate (2-0 at home, 0-0 in Turin) before beating Arsenal in the quarter finals 4-3 on aggregate (lost 2-0 at the Emirates but won 4-1 back at the Bernabeu while we'll face Valencia in the Spanish Cup final so a good chance of a domestic double in my first season at the club - not bad.
Still don't know who I'm going to end up buying at the end of the season although another centre back (or two) is a must.

Plymouth have booked their place in the play-off final, beating Portsmouth 1-0 in the second leg (3-2 on aggregate) but the main question now needs to be asked - who will they face at Wembley - Wimbledon or Accrington? Great chance to finally get promoted.

Sigh. Didn't even manage to get an interview and that's a damn shame.

But while things are going swimmingly domestically, we struggled to get through our Champions League group alongside Benfica, Basel and Monaco and only progressed to the first knockout round because of Basel's single goal win at Monaco as we lost our last three group games - 2-1 away to Monaco, 2-0 away to Basel and 1-0 at home to Benfica which was frustrating. We've got Juventus in the first knockout round so dramatic improvement is needed.
Made no signings this season and as expected Cristiano Ronaldo has been immense. Gareth Bale not as much, scoring just three goals in the league so far.
Starting XI is:
Carvajal - Ramos - Varane - Marcelo
Kroos - Modric
James - Isco - Bale
Ronaldo

Should have been a red card for the foul that led to the Portsmouth spot kick as well, don't think there was any covering defenders.

Although it seems pointless (and perhaps is), the game is switching hands with just one league game remaining in the current season but I'm really hoping @Dan can extend the season for his sake. Like I said in the previous post, I feel we must win our last game as all three play-off chasers travel on the final day.
Final Day - 10 October 2036

Shamrock Rovers - Shelbourne (A)
