Sort of hoping you don't get it as this save is still progressing well and I think you could get much higher but its down to you what to do.Either case ill be following.Will you be doing a separate thread for the next job or carry on with this one so that should you decide to go back to this save as west ham boss you can carry it on from here?

Great final month.Congratulations mate.

Rodriguez is probably the best cb in the premiership in my opinion but he can play terrible the odd game.Going well in the league and looking like a 3 horse race.



That's Martinez these days.Having a decent season but not as good as last season.Not had interest in him for a couple of years I don't think.Cant remember any recently anyway.The most annoying thing about him is once a season he has a good game and wants a new contract hence his high wages now.He is my best player though so I really need to keep him








Very good month.Only thing that frustrated me was the 93rd minute goal conceded in the Fulham game.



After that all 100% month we are now in a quality positionMan utd have gone a bit downhill and find themselves 5 points off the pace of Chelsea.That could be 6 points behind me should I win the game in hand.Got man utd at burnley stadium in the next match.Could prove to be a massive game.



Good win to send me through to the 4th round.Pashev was very good.




Played crawley in the 4th round and it was a thrilling match for the neutral.Not happy with conceding 3 goals at home to them but that's football.



Spurs or Newport at home in the next round.Hoping to get Newport but surely be spurs.



Set up a link with another south American team in defensor sporting.Got good youth facilities so hopefully a couple of decent regens might go itno they're team.







Brought in a couple of decent looking prospects.2 of them were to replace outgoing players. Unfortunately zoko cant get a work permit as with the other ivory coast lad in my team so both are loaned out.Danilo fabiano looks good and I am hoping to change formation to a 3-5-2 with 2 wing backs and he has great stats for a wing back.On the outgoing side I lost murru to inter but he hasn't been great and I got a nice 23m for him.I think I could of got more seen as his valuation was 22m.Wasnt happy I lost simone piras to juventus for 11m.He wanted to go as soon as they came sniffing.

Next update - February

Not the time of the season you want an inconsistent month.Hopefully you can get back the form you had and reclaim top spot.

Good luck up in Scotland mate.

Still top mate.Nicky lewis looks is in decent form.

Europe proved to be much tougher than in previous seasons.Barca were just too strong and roma destroyed us away from home and we relied on maccabi Haifa to get that draw against roma to go through.Not the best way to qualify but we did do what we intended to do at the start.United have been very impressive.Just keep winning.














Another good month.Very good start to the month with the 3-0 win at Southampton who look a shadow of the team they could of potentially been by now.Spurs are poor this season just like last but gave me a good game.Good win to continue our form against Swansea but have to be disappointed we conceded 3.Great win at city.Not lost against them now since 2016.We are certainly they're bogey team.Not great draws against Newcastle and Liverpool but still unbeaten in the last 2 months at least.



Despite dropping 4 points at the end of the month the table is looking better than last month.Top 3 do still have a good points cushion on 4th but arsenal are the in form team right now.Maybe they can catch us seen as were dropping points lately.



We were poor and they were good.Not happy the way we just didn't turn up and I wish I could blame it on resting players but I had a very decent team out.



A trip to Bournemouth in the FA cup and a potential banana skin I think.I wont be resting too many players but will have to play pashev up top as royo got injured against southampton at the beginning of the month and will be out till February.



Very happy with that draw but had a good chance of a good draw.Monaco was the only real tough draw I could of faced really.After 7 years of dominating this competition real Madrid haven't even make the knockout stages.In fact they aren't even in Europe after finishing bottom of they're group.



Finally after about 2 years of checking I was able to ask for improvement in the coaching budget.Glad they accepted.

Next post - January

Thrilling match against Liverpool just a shame you was the one losing.In a respectable position in the league but think they were never going to be happy with you applying for other jobs.Hopefully you will get a decent club to manage with a build a good career.

Not a good month at all mate.Just shipping in goals too much and making way toomany mistakes yet my defenders are very good.Rodriguez has to be one of the top 3 in the league now.



Quick screenshot








Back to winning ways and a perfect month in the league.Great win against bottom of the league west ham.They were terrible but Martinez was quality.Very good win against Chelsea but was lucky to face 10 men for so long otherwise it could of been a much different result.Huddersfield came next at the end of November and my first clean sheet of the season.Shocked it has took so long but happy its finally here.



League tables looking better even if we are 5 points behind 1st.Need to keep up the last months form if we are to keep up as they look good for the title at the moment.



Wasn't expecting much from this game but they were incredible.Messi at 33 has scored 2 hat tricks in 2 games.Just couldn't handle him.




Diabolical result against roma.They fully deserved to win but not by 4.Correa giving them 2 goals and murru giving them a penalty and getting sent off in the process.Need a win against maccabi Haifa and roma not to win at the nou camp.



We did our bit.Great performance especially from pashev.



We did it.Might be by 2 points but I think by the skin of my teeth as we would of been out if it wasn't for maccabi Haifa getting a draw against roma.

Much better month except for the 2 champions league away games.Still conceding goals but finally got a couple of clean sheets.

Next update - December

Nice one lads.Been a half decent start but the draws were frustrating and should of been winning both games.Roma didn't give much of a fight really.With leo and babacar up top I was nervous about them.









Not a good month.Defeats against man utd and arsenal were terrible.A bright point are our wins but 2 wins and 2 defeats isn't the form of champions.



Those 2 defeats have cost me and we are now 5 points of Man utd.3rd isn't all that bad but we need to start getting clean sheets and more wins.Too much inconsistency after what was a great start.




A win is a win I suppose but it should of been so much more.



Tough draw and I don't think we will get through if we perform anything like we have been doing.



Big match against Barcelona and another defeat.Not happy with any of the goals we conceded with 2 penalties and the last goal coming after Adrian rodriguez missed an easy header to let messi go through.Was a shame our defence was so bad as we could of won it really.Probably shouldn't of gone all out attack after our 3rd goal though.



2nd place still but I have to be a bit worried about roma.Defeat against barca at the nou camp and lose at roma and we will be needing barca to do us a favour against roma.

Cant be happy about October really.4 penalties conceded and 5 goals shipped in through player errors in 6 games.14 goals let in altogether in those 6 games.16 games in this season and still no clean sheet either.Not out of the title race but it will be very very hard to catch up.Play Chelsea soon too and if we lose that we wont be retaining the title.Hopefully we can pick it up a bit.Pashev hasn't been anywhere near the form he was last season.Matinez hasn't been great either.

Next update - November

Congratulations on your latest trophy and good luck at zadar.Things going well mate.

Surely in the bag now.Another congratulations in advance.

Great win against man utd mate.Just a shame it didn't count for anything but 6th isn't all that bad.Massive budget.You going on a shopping spree?

Doing a great job marching up the leagues mate.Keep it up.Hope it continues.

Touugh group but im sure you will get through.Good start in your Bayern career.Good luck mate.

The group does look very tough but not impossible.Barcelona have a bit of an ageing squad but will still prove hard to beat or even draw against im sure.Would be a good statement of intent if I can beat them in either game.Royo does look good and I am thinking of ways I can play him and pashev up top together.Royo is a beast in the air and pashev is a fast striker so they could work well together.Its just what formation I could play as I think my midfield is my strongest area.Might work out a 3-5-2.







Not the best of months reallyas iwas hoping to win all of these.As is usually the case against weaker teams I dominated all 3 matches in terms of shots.We just have too many from range even if I tell them to shoot less often.Was lucky against stoke having to come from behind but If I want to retain the title I have to win these games.Have a problem against ex players it seems.Will kean and sean robinson both scored against us last season and Thomas carroll did the same for QPR and also got man of the match.Again we had to come from behind.Good win to round off the month against Norwich at least.They were a tough team to beat and finished in a good position but have struggled this season so far.Oliver coming back from injury to score 2 is a good sign.



Not top anymore but we are well in the mix at least.Those draws have cost us a bit but not too much.Good thing was united and Chelsea playing each other with Chelsea winning it.Huddersfield are doing well but just like Norwich last season it will probably be only a matter of time before they drop down the table.



Good win even if it was only barnsely.Zivkovic has started the season in great form and got a good hat trick.



And we finally have a single legged home draw in the league cup.A good one too.Gives us every chance of getting through and with city,united,arsenal and Chelsea all playing each other it knocks out a couple dangerous teams and gives us more of a chance to win it.



Very good win and very important too.Martinez has had a quiet month but he was great in this match.I need to do well against roma if I want to qualify from the group.



Bit of a shakey game in Israel and I was expecting it to be much easier.Miguel royo hasn't been great so far but got a good hat trick in this one.Another match I needed to win.



In a good position in the group with 2 wins from 2 and good to see roma losing both of they're games but the double header against barceloan coming up is going to be vital.Lose both of them and roma win both against maccabi Haifa (which is highly probable.) then I will most probably need to win or avoid defeat in rome.

Next update - October

Its in the bag now I think.Congratulations in advance.

Not a good start but good last couple of games.Close one against maia though.

That's more like it.Good month mate and massive victory against chaves.

Still in with a shout but those games in hand for Liverpool could prove the difference.You was unlucky to face Chelsea and Tottenham at that time really and they were always going to be tough matches.

Thanks everyone it was a good season.Looking for same again this season.I don't think it was a fluke though a couple of games were but we have probably got one of the best squads in the league.It doesn't mean I think we will win it again this season im just hoping for something similar.Those expectations are going to be very hard to live up to.We are the 8th biggest spenders on wage in the league and I would hope the board can take that into account.



One last signing this window.19m from real Madrid after he didn't get a contract he wanted.Great player and will be pushing pashev for the st spot.







3 games 3 wins.Good start but I am still concerned with no clean sheets.Brought in royo in the 2nd game and chuffed he got a debut goal.Martinez has started very well again.I didn't have pashev for the first 2 games as he was away at the Olympics.Not going into the matches too much anymore as it takes up a fair bit of times on the busy months and its all shown in the screenshots.



Top of the league after 3 games.Good job but I haven't faced any of the big boys.Chelsea have started off very well as have man utd.Hopefully I can keep it up as I don't think either of them will drop too many points this season.



Another league cup draw and another away game.This time to Barnsley.



Very hard group.Roma were tough opposition last season and will fight me for 2nd place I think.Barcelona aren't the team they were 5 years ago though they have some quality players.Messi is now 33 and I don't fear him as much as I would of done.Maccabi Haifa are just there to make up the numbers I think.

Next update - September

Good recovery after a dodgy couple of months dan.As you said it will probably be closer than your used to.Hope you can keep it up mate.

Massive win against Newcastle.Hit and miss season so far but not doing too bad mate.

Massive win against Newcastle.Hit and miss season so far but not doing too bad mate.

Great couple of months mate with just that 1 defeat.Pretty sure you can win it now though there is plenty of time yet.Keep it up mate.

2 promotions in a row.Nice job mate.Good job on the manager of the year too.Very well deserved.

Was a good end johno apart from the spurs game but im not complaining after a great season.The champions league is what I want but im not too sure about getting it for the next couple of seasons.Real Madrid will prove very hard to beat and there are a number of European and domestic clubs who will be in a better position to win it above me but I am hoping for a semi final spot this year depending on the draws should I get there.



Apparently we are now a 1b club.Not sure how its got that high.We have got a number of high value players now.Even Jamie Paterson is valued at 13m and michale keane at 15.75m.I do think the new stadium has come into that maybe but 1b still seems high.



Decided to set up another link this time with an Australian club to improve the scouting knowledge a bit.Not made a bit of difference though,Still at 54%



For some reason or another burnley is a popular club in spain.Not too sure how that's happened.



I am pretty nervous about those expectations.They're expecting me to reach the semi final of the champions league aswell as win the FA cup and the league.Just 6 years ago it was to survive in the premier league.Wouldnt mind as much but I don't exactly have loads to spend.They wil surely be disappointed in at least 1 of them.













Mainly thinking of the future with them signings.Murru came on a free and will be 2nd choice rb to lucky adisa.Praet will be a back up lw most probably but could play in a couple more positions and villareal will be back lb to van putten.I think that will be it in terms of transfers.I do have my eye on 1 or 2 more but will probably be priced out.I did end up deciding against getting bakkali in on a free as he wanted 100k a week.About a 900% increase he was on at man utd.Hes ended up signing a new contract for 40k a week.



All the transfers but for a couple of loans and freebies at the top of the outgoings.



I am usually on the ball and set up a fair few pre season fixtures but I forgot this year and was only able to set up 2.2 wins and 2 draws isn't the best but not too bad I don't think.



Won the community shield but haven't a clue how.I always struggle with azpilicuetas long throws and they caused me a lot of problems.Phile jones put them ahead with a tap in after some dodgy marking from one of the many long throws I faced.Vadala missed a lot through injury last season but equalized on the half hour mark before oliver put us ahead on 65 minutes though the keeper was poor and should of saved it.Wellington nem equalized with a great finish and it went to penalties where oliveira was the hero saving 3 spot kicks.Not the best of matches but a good starting point for the season and looking at out opening 6 league games I am confidant of a good start.

Next update - August

Hoping so.Thats why I posted the cl previous winners.Be hard to topple real Madrid though.

In terms of the challenge in the first place "rise of the clarets" I am debating how long it will go for.I am seeing a few stories pop up which had got me thinking of doing them but I am debating how far to take this one.In a previous game on the 14 edition I got Southampton as most wins in FA cup,premier league and champions league but it took me to 2047 to do it.I might go for something similar in this one.Really not sure what to do but I will be mulling over it over next few seasons.

Cheers lads.Been quite a journey this year and to finish top is more than I wanted.

Have a lot of screenshots on this post so I am going to keep the words to a minimum otherwise I will be here all night.






Great win against man utd in a thrilling match.They just couldn't cope with damyan pashev.Not so great against Tottenham but I struggle a lot with them usually.Pashev again getting on the scoresheet.



Fantastic league season for us to finish top let alone 8 points clear.



A very even game but great to win the FA cup and achieve the double.





A very good season for pashev and at 20 he now has 2 very prestigious awards to his name.He has been amazing throughout the season except for a little blip of 3 games or so without a goal.



After 2 pfa young player of the year awards in a row Martinez has now stepped it up and got the pfa senior award.He too has had superb season and just seems to be getting better and better.



With Martinez getting the senior award it is just as good for us that zivkovic has got the young award.Fantastic debut season and he is one of the reasons we have stepped it up as a team this year.



Retained the manager of the year award.



Thought it would be either pashev or Martinez so not surprised at this.A bit of a landslide win which is the only thing that surprises me.




A quick roundup of the overall stats this season.



Getting another licence.Pretty sure it will be my last one.



The local council blocked us making the stadium bigger but this came up out the blue so maybe it will happen this time.



Hoping to make more of an impact on the champions league this season.Hopefully I wont come up against these in the knockout stages.Real Madrid are the most successful club in the competition but this makes they're dominance in the 50s look ordinary.




Things looking better commercially.With wages going higher and higher this will help

Been one hell of a season winning my 1st and 2nd trophy.Hopefully it will get better and better.Thanks all who read and comment.Glad your enjoying it.Plenty more to come yet though.

Next update - Pre season and transfers

Great start to the month but not the best last couple of games.Hope the morale hasn't dropped much.Decent position to be in and im sure you will only get better.
