Not the best start as of yet. We lost and drew Champions League Qualifiers we should have won along with a bore draw against Motherwell. We did manage a 4-1 win over Rangers to round of the month.

We've got so far up the coefficients (16th) that we are now 2nd seeds. This is a winnable group if I can get revenge on Man City for last years semi-final.

A good pre-season with only some minor blips. The squad was rotated, I got an idea of player roles and now the squad is match fit.

This will be my starting IX...

Sold a lot of people I didn't want to sell this summer because they wouldn't sign new contracts or wanted too much. Zuculini and van Dijk put in transfer requests, Finbogason wanted £40k p/w to stay past the end of the season. The biggest pain was losing Rogic after I couldn't get a new work permit for him. He was quickly becoming the best player. Samaras and Irvine were both fringe players that I thought best leave.

There wasn't as much in way of players in. The squad is definitely weaker than last season but the potential is there. Ings has had a good record at Burnley the past few seasons and Duffy fell out of favour at Everton. The other four were Scottish and should be in or around the first

Good news for next season means automatic group stage entry in the Champions League. We have moved up 9 places to 16th in the European club rankings and 36th to 34th in the rich list and the SPL moved up to 13th.

Scotland went out in the next round to Spain, Germany then went on to win the competition.

A decent finish to the season meant we finished 24 points clear of 2nd place Dundee Utd. Hopefully next season we can lift the treble. Motherwell and Hamilton will replace St. Mirren and Morton next year.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/XVH8DXDY5UkfIJ9rEBLJKWZ0sfvrggixf0jkiT7u.png

Overall the squad was great. Hopefully I can convince a few of the players who's deals are up at the end of the season.

A terrible month for us. We crashed out of both the Scottish Cup and Champions League (expected). We managed to finish strong with another Old Firm win.

A very congested month, but another league title wrapped up along with the League Cup. A good run of wins also. We beat Sporting to reach the Champions League Quarter-Final and go into the away leg with a 4-1 lead.

I've decided to slightly revamp my transfer policy going into the new season.
  1. Only sign English speaking players.
  2. Only pay more than £1m for players under 25.
  3. Have a preference for Home Nation players.
  4. Sell anyone who I get a bid for that is above what I value them or can get a cheaper replacement for.
  5. Sell anyone who wants to leave.
A few players are asking to leave so we'll see how things are when the window opens and if attitudes haven't changed there will be a big shake up.

San Marino Succession would be EPIC.

But I don't think we should do 2 months each. That means you would get the same two months every time.

A good month at a vital time of the season leaves us 7th in the table, we need results to go our way in the final two fixtures to land a top 6 spot. We already have Europa League guaranteed next season so it won't be a huge problem if we don't.

A mixed month. Some poor results balanced with good ones. It took two shots to beat Championship outfit Hamilton and we dropped 5 points in the league. Not sure how I feel about the Sporting result but at least we didn't concede. We finished strong with an Old Firm win.

I arranged for two players to join at the end of the season Murray Wallace (£4m) and Danny Ings (£3.5m) who is dubbed the next Michael Owens.

After a good unbeaten run of seven games it fell apart with back-to-back 4-0 defeats. Hopefully its a one off and we can bounce back and finish in the top six.

January was a good month. After strengthening the team we put a good run together. The sale of Sigborsson meant Watt could step up and that he did, netting 8 goals. We also reached the League Cup Final.

Managed to pick up some very good youngsters on the cheap. Morrison was transfer listed at West Ham and eager to move and Daehli was released from Molde. Both are former Man Utd players.

I cut my losses with Sigborsson and sold him for £1.5m after just 9 games. That means about £1.2m profit after you take wages into account.

This was a decisive month for us in terms of league finish. We've began to put a decent run together if we can carry it into next month a top four finish is possible.

Next up is Capital One Cup Final agains West Ham who sit 16th and we beat 4-0 last time we met.

Finishing 2nd worked better for us in the draw, it looks like we might have got PSG. I'm happy with Sporting Lisbon, we have a good chance of reaching the next round.

Not the best way to end the year with a loss (to Rangers of all teams) and a draw. However we stretched the lead to 10 points clear of 2nd place Aberdeen. The loss to Rangers seen them win with no shots on target and won by means of an Adam Matthews own goal.

In the Champions League we made up for the last two season and reached the last 16, we should have beat Benfica and finished top but it worked out better for us.

Good read mate, Rogic look's like he could be a key player over the next few season's with his stats and £10 million for Biton is a great bit of bisuness, surprised Ajax let Sigborsson go on a free. KIU

Cheers mate Aye I think he'll be the guy I centre the squad around, looks great and can only get better. I was thinking about selling him last year but sent him out on loan instead. Was a good choice!

Transfers have been great so far. Surprised to get that too and nearly £8m for Balde. I was shocked they let him go, but then I signed him and quickly realised. He's a good player but rarely fit (natural fitness = 7), if his fitness picks up the 2nd half of the season I'll keep him. If not then he's off.

An excellent month. We only conceded in one game and managed to open the gap at the top of the table. In the Champions League we sit top on head-to head with Man Utd.

When did Aberdeen become, erm, good?

Fifth place for Rangers though? FFS, sort it out Gers!

KIU pal, still doing a good job.

I don't know mate. I've beat the just need someone else to. Romping it on goals though.

Rangers are still pretty poor, spent a fair bit though. Only a matter of time til they get a few decent frees.
