Made a lot of movement in the transfer market as you can see. I'm pleased with how it went for the most part, strengthened vital areas and did so with good players. Didn't spend the money on that marquee player that I wanted to really tear up League 2, but I remain optimistic with months to go until the next window for some extensive scouting tasks.

Some not so good news. Umpteen Premier League sides had come calling for Alex Staley and, whilst he was happy to stay, £1M in our current situation financially was impossible to turn down. I'll retain 35% of the fee (£350k) for maneuvering in the transfer market, which is HUGE for a newly-professional side in League 2. Our squad is down to the bare bones now so brace yo' asses for some transfers. Thanks for your service Alex boyo.

Two good pieces of news at the start of our Football League journey!

We're going up as champions! We tallied up 105 goals en route to the title with Danny Mills getting 25 of them for himself. Out of the whole season, we only led the way for the final 3 games of the season, not too dissimilar from Man City's recent success in the Prem. The semi-professional Hawks are going to the Football League baby!

Would be very difficult to argue anyone other than David Viana to get player of the season. Our Portuguese playmaker managed an absurd 31 assists in the league whilst bagging 13 goals too. Of course top scorer Danny Mills had a wonderful season and young sensation Alex Staley finished up with 16 goals and 12 assists, attracting major interest from Reading.

As usual Dan it's a bloody fantastic start! Fairly decent draw against West Ham, definitely not impossible!

You say this, but honestly sir its better to spend another division in the Skrill Premier! I spent two seasons there as soon as I hit League Two I'm losing more money than ever all over the shop!

Oh really? Damn. I thought the money from promotion/introduction of the Capital One would really help! Thanks for commenting Dan.

Some good news. Granted, they aren't paying us a fortune, but income is income in our situation. Chance to grab some good players too hopefully.

Here's the sitch' at the halfway mark. We are going great guns in the league. As I said in the previous post, finances at the club are not good right now and are set to continue to deteriorate in the coming months so success is a bloody MUST this season. So far so good.

We breeze past Margate in the 1st round of the FA Cup.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/mAnTGzKWi245i10DV5oMz8nymNFDAAzdpIJO6CNx.png

And get past Exeter in a much tighter affair.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/EemXnQbxu0KMcUIIjoshTcJVfFxHqkUh0DGzQMEE.png

Our reward for reaching the 3rd round? A trip to the Etihad.. Man City await! We really, really would benefit financially from getting past Man City (not going to happen I know that). Purely because of how fucked the finances are at the club, FA Trophy success is of top priority too.

Haha. In more positive news, signed an absolute beauty of a player for a mere £30k. Conference player of the year with 6 goals and 19 assists at the tender old age of 16! Alex Staley has the potential to be a successful Premier League attacking midfielder so I'm happy as hell to have him on board.

Well, we achieved our season expectations and then some by staying up and finishing 13th in the league. Really happy with the final league position due to the fact that 18 games in we were marooned in the relegation zone and looked absolutely fucked so I'm particularly pleased that we managed to turn that around. Going to start building a side capable of playing in the Football League next season and make it our season.

As a result of the change in style I've left myself short in the DM department so I've brough it Saudi Arabian Ahmed Abdulla on a free from Barnet to add a bit of depth in that area. Looks to be quite a decent player, too.

... Aaaaaaand we didn't get that far. Game changed when Coventry got the penalty which is really annoying as we had a foothold in the game for sure.

Results have been disastrous lately, something needed to change. Opted for a new tactic, ditching the all-out style we had in the Conference South last season and rolling with a 4-2-2-2 to make us less shit at the back. I have high hopes for it so hopefully it can be the catalyst to spark a late surge up the league.

Love the FA Cup runs when your a small team, last season I managed the FA Cup Third round! Its all about the money!

Hope I can make it that far Dan!

Speaking of the FA Cup we saw off Yate Town in an underwhelming 1-0 win.. but it'll do.

Congrats On promotion to Conference Sam

Cheers Jamie!

Great job getting promoted! Playoffs looked quite tight and exciting

Thanks mate. Yup, they were definitely games for the neutrals!

Brought in 3 players in a bid for a successful first season in the Conference. I'm very much hoping that the play-offs aren't too much to ask this season as I don't fancy hanging round in this league for long. Fully aware we'll have to be shit hot for that to happen, though.
