#85331 Succession Game

#85330 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Minimum expectation, could be victims of our own success here.
Fuck sake, can't get a work permit for him
Same story can't get a work permit and we need a left winger.
Got this bloke coming in 2 years, had him scouted, Man City made an offer and well you know when a club like Man City make an offer he has some talent. Got in under their noses
No option to build a new stadium or expand but at least we can upgrade the facilities.
Really think we should keep an eye on this kid, can play right across the back. I got up to £7.5m bid before I stopped. Don't wanna spend all our money on the one player who won't be ready to jump into the starting side yet.

10k down on this seasons budget. Have to see what I can do.
#85322 Succession Game

Still have the shittest sponsorship in the league despite winning the Europa League and an FA Cup.
#85321 Succession Game

He's actually not too bad, the chairman has done well.
#85320 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Murphy finished 3rd in golden gloves also.
#85319 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Our unbeaten comes to an end, tired legs got the best of us and we had 3 players injured during the game. It mattered little as Man Utd and Arsenal both won so we still would have finished 3rd but what a season.
#85317 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Just goes to show the strength in depth we have here at the club. Basically anyone who didn't play the Europa League final started here. Was a small fright come half time when they had pulled it to 3-2, Ozcelik went off injured sometime in the second half, his fatigue got to him. Mijic was then injured in a cynical tackle by Niang who was basically the only threat they had. Sakim's first goal of the season sealed it and is set to deliver a very interesting final day.
Interesting fact, 81 points won the title last season, three teams have 83 points. What a season.
#85316 Succession Game

So even though we lost on penalties to Man City it still has included it in the run. Pretty amazing looking back at some of those results.
#85315 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Ohhhhh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh........ Kept Lyon to zero shots on target but once again going all the way to penalties. The team is literally fucked too many games in such short space and the last two going to penalties.
Once again Lyon missed the first penalty to keep us in the box seat, we scored our next 4 before Murphy saved Lyons final shot to give us our first Europa league title
So thrilled I had my shirt over my head I could barely watch the penalties.
Well the team are pretty much all at 80 percent or less so I think the title is pretty much out of the question.
#85314 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
120 grueling minutes, survived a late Man City onslaught after keeping them contained for 80 odd minutes.
They missed the first penalty which gave us the advantage but the pressure was obviously too much, 2 of the misses were put wide of the post with Hart saving the decisive one.
Okay so next up is the Europa league final, 2 days later we play Fulham then 2 days after that we finish with Man City. With Man Utd and Arsenal both winning games 37 it is going to be tough to keep pace with them let alone hope they slip up and we snatch the title. Utd finish with Notts Forrest and follow that up with the Champs league final against Barca, I don't know how often AI managers rest players but here is to hoping they play a few reserves to save key players for the final. Arsenal finish with West Ham and are in the drivers seat for the title. West Ham are already relegated so I don't see much of a threat there.
Forgot to mention Barkley injured himself in training and will miss the final 3 games
#85313 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Another game with not much in it, 5 shots on target all game. The team are very tired could make it difficult up next against Man City in the final.
#85312 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Made it very difficult but was one of those games where nothing happened at all. There was 2 shots on target all game from both sides. Ah well a win is a win however fixture congestion is going to kill us, straight after the game I gave the starting line up a rest from training.

Loving my start here, and in 4 games this season we haven't conceded a goal.

Dnipro's highest position since I added the Ukrainian leagues was 4th and the highest league position since the start of the game has been 3rd once in 2031.
Besiktas won the league in 37 but finished last season in 6th.
Braga's highest since I loaded Portugal has been 3rd and haven't finished higher at all since the start of the game.
Personally I think this is the best group I could have got, I avoided some real "groups of death" here.
Group B has Bologna and PSV, very strong teams. Group D is probably one of the toughest with my old Montpellier team seeded 1st, Everton and then Fenerbache with Lokomotiv Moscow rounding it out. Group G would also be very tough, Shakhtar, Roma, Monaco and Gaziantepspor. Finally Group K has Liverpool, Rennes, Karpaty and Genoa.
So some good teams will obviously not make it which will help us.

Had to post this, you should all remember Gil from my job at Montpellier. Great goalkeeper, in my three seasons I believe it was he started nearly every game for me and had ratings of over 7. Couldn't get a call up for Argentina, leaves Montpellier on a free, won't sign for me at Werder, Milan pick him up and he gets a France call up.
Bloody reputation.
#85166 Spanky's 13 long termer....
mr.SPANKY
Thanks mate, I've loaded up so pretty interesting leagues now so after Germany could see some interesting movements.
Anyways.....
All free transfers aside from the one loan costing me 35k a month and 50 percent of his wages but he is quality.
Rodrigues is an AMC who has 16 and over in technique, composure, decisions, determination, work rate and stamina along with 15 off the ball and bravery, at only 19 years old could develop into something special. Now atm I'm not playing an AMC so will retrain him to MC although there really isn't a difference between the roles.
Very happy with this free transfer, will def do a job for the next few years at least and has already impressed after being thrust into the starting line up.
Akbari is another solid midfielder, great first touch, technique and passing. Great physical attributes too all over 13.
Dos Santos is a 25 year old fullback who can play both sides, cover more than anything and most likely gone when his 2 year contract runs out.
Castellotti is a left back I got on loan from Inter last season in January and I bought him back purely for backup as I have let the contracts of 3 fullbacks run down and MacDonald is off on loan with the option Karlsruhe to buy.
Schneider is a young right midfielder to cover, awesome free kick ability, could win some games off the bench with that.
Great young player from Inter can't wait for him to get stuck in.
On the outs, Diomande was a left winger/striker but aside from dribbling he really has nothing. Great fee for a player who quite frankly isn't that good but still has youth on his side. Yildrim is another striker but with Leggett, Simic and the Malian Kouroumakan plus the other wingers who can backup in the striker role if needed, I decided to sell. Roels is a 26 year old defender with a few good physical attributes but nothing much else. MacDonald, 29 years old and fairly ordinary. The freebies were all youngsters with little to no talent except Hahn but he rejected my offer.
So I lined up like this last season to great effect as you all have seen. Going to stick with it this season as I feel we have a much stronger squad overall. Starting lineup is not definitive but you can bet Leggett, SImic, Dipper, Widmayer, Santos and Salfeld are all guarenteed starters.

We've got Dortmunds number in cup games

mr.SPANKY
Realllly??? I know it's a new chairman but I'm still not happy with how I was treated last time lol.
Surprised they don't have a huge transfer budget after the takeover.
#84700 Spanky's 13 long termer....
mr.SPANKY
No thanks. I might even take England out although I like having the lower leagues there.
#84699 Spanky's 13 long termer....
mr.SPANKY
Absolutely outstanding finish to the season, the board just wanted to avoid relegation so to finish up towards the top is incredible. Though the obvious overachieve could make future seasons difficult. I have some real young quality in this side but at the other end some aging stars, my problem is I have no real middle players, the ones that can come in and do the job in a injury or suspension situation. We did earn £16 odd million for our league position though so hopefully I can bring in some quality backup.
This has to go down as one of the greatest results in this career to date, so over the moon with this. We restricted Dortmund to zero shots on target from the 6 they had. Every player in my starting side played over a 7 to show how much of a team unit we really are. Also was a stroke of genius starting Dipper. I had been using Shulz for ages in that left midfielder role and his form wasn't quite up there I kept contemplating dropping him to the bench for Dipper and finally did in the biggest game of the season and he didn't disappoint.
Amazing season, onwards and upwards.

Quite funny that she ousted Rudd to get the job now it's come back and bit her on the ass. Matters little though Rudd will be out in September when we have the elections.
#84687 Spanky's 13 long termer....
mr.SPANKY
This comes as a surprise but we have been playing very well of late and had the run of the draw with Leverkusen and Wolfsburg being the only D1 sides although Wolfsburg are pretty average. Dortmund should be too strong but stranger things have happened and I've pulled off miracles before.
Leggett is a genius, if he's not scoring them he's setting them up. He's playing a 7.33 in the league, 10 apps, 3 goals and 4 assists. 2 cup games with the one goal at a rating of 7.55. Hopefully I can hold onto him for a looooong time and make him a legend of the club.
