This should have been an easy win, we hit the post about 6 times

Never in it and as soon as Scott was sent off sealed our fate. Lukaku has 6 goals in 6 games against us, need to shut him down somehow.

That would be right, right before the season opener against Man Utd.

Okay nearly impossible to register a squad for the league and some tough decisions had to be made and that included leaving the Kluk out. It also means my transfer activity is done, can't bring in anyone else as they won't fit in unless we sell someone and we only have about £2m left anyways.

There is some interest in Baldo but nothing to meet our valuation and Schurrle is making noises about leaving for Wolfsburg.

So far 2 coaches have been signed prior to my stint and this is how we look now. Fucking A

Just the one signing so far, DM problem solved and got him for £6m, his value immediately jumped to nearly £12m which is usually a sign of a good player.

As I progress though I think I am fairly happy with the squad overall apart from goalkeeper depth. Also it is providing very difficult to sign kids, any kid of talent is being priced right out for me so not sure how much more activity I will get done this window.

He does look good but we don't really have anything behind him. Doesn't matter anyway I can't find any left back better then him I can justify the price for. Also I don't think we need Iturbe from PSG. We have some real quality in all 3 positions he can play and I would rather save the £10m and invest in some youth.

Our backup goalie was sold, (well negotiated before my turn and I just accepted it) I may keep my eye out for another one, we only have 2 in the squad including our 21's team so we may need one during the course of the season.

Yep doing it now.

So I have just been through the squad and while we have depth at left back I don't feel it is as strong a position as it could be so I will look for a left back, if I can't find someone world class for a good price I will focus on potential, we are in desperate need of some club grown players.
Also we play with a DM through most of the season and we don't really have a pure anchor man so I will look to fix that problem too.

Aside from that I don't think I will be doing much else in the market apart from signing kids to help with aforementioned club grown quota in the future.

CZW is nuts, there is a match I watched the other day between Sami Callihan and Adam Cole, glass everywhere even a switchblade got used. Fucking insane. Anyways Callihan is in NXT now as Solomon Crowe.

Rollins has to save the title match and cash his money in the bank in. He'll get beat by orton and cash it in

Taker vs Wyatt is going to be one hell of an awkward match to book... They have to have both wrestlers come out strong, and Wyatt has to come out of it as a WWE Title contender. They cant make Taker loose again as that would be complete suicide and would go against all them years of the streak having him lose two years on the bounce. But they also can't bury Wyatt again. Either a big bump will incapacitate them both to where the match has no result, or this which is just me daydreaming here because we know that creative would never go for this - Taker will win and drag Wyatt off the screens for a few months, possibly emerging darker than before, or maybe under Takers control with him as his Manager? I might have said that before in this thread, but it'd be a dream and story lines to go with it would be unbelievable.

Make it a casket match, Wyatt sends Taker out of limbo like he has been saying and Taker avoids a pinfall loss. I think they will go this way anyways with all the use of caskets lately. Much easier to emerge from a casket then a pinfall loss, he has made a career out of that and buried alive matches, don't actually think he has won one of them.

Brings and end to my stint with the table looking like this. I made no moves in the market as I am still yet to be fully familiar with the squad and we have a shit load of loanees that I am yet to see what are capable of so no point in myself making any moves. However Fola will have about £30m to work with and half of january to do it in if he feels the need.

Well Scott's 200th league game ends in disappointment. Newcastle had 3 shots on target and put them all away. Frustrating.

So I send out a rotated squad and they give me my first clean sheet of my stint. Go figure.

Well this blows the league table right open. 1 point above Man Utd and Chelsea and 3 above Liverpool however Man Utd still have 2 games in hand on us.

Well we should have had a clean sheet here however their goal was quite amusing. Back pass to keeper, keeper kicks it into shins of Helenius and goal. We go top by 2 points with a game in hand over Liverpool. However Man Utd have 3 games in hand over us and are 9 points behind, our goal difference slightly better though.

Again conceding but the old adage of score more then the opponent is at play. We are still tied at the top with Liverpool but have conceded 10 goals more then they have.

Still can't keep a clean sheet but as long as the goals aren't drying up I won't be too concerned. Antunes missed the Liverpool game with suspension comes back and bags 2 goals from center defence

Top of the table clash, Robello had one chalked off very early on but I didn't see this game going any other way. Nothing really of note happened, Mignolet didn't have to do much nor did Bentley.

Fisted them, only worry is that 2 of the 3 shots they had on target they scored with, still a sublime attacking performance.

Not much happened in this game apart from the goals and Kane as with Hernandez in the earlier game was putting anything away when he was in the box and the ball was fed to him.

Schurrle's goal was an absolute cracker. Defence is still a bit open but expected when you play as attacking as we do. I also really like this Rui Rei guy too.
