Good move to the Prem, sure this is where your rep will start surging and getting those bigger jobs will become easier!

So, we've managed to wrap up another season and I am pleased to say that we JUST clinched another promotion... although again we missed out on the title!
As you'll see below, we tried really hard to throw away our automatic spot, picking up 1 point in our final 4 games, when winning just one of them would have sealed our fate much, much earlier. You'll notice we also managed to throw together another run of 1-1 draws but thankfully stopped it earlier this time!
I'd say our loanees in Brown, Woo-Yeong and Schwermann were our best players along with the stars from 3.Bundesliga in Spalvis and Albaek. The problem though is that even our best player in Albaek is rated as an 'outstanding player for 2.Bundesliga' and so this squad needs a lot of change if we can get the flexibility in our budget. Defence is a priority but I am not sure we can get it as we've already been priced out of a lot of action, including loans due to our ridiculous budget which you can see below...
So umm... not very promising is it? Actually livid, but I guess we have to give it a go. I know for sure I'll need to change a lot of the squad to go to a new system as I think our defensive frailties need covering with a CDM.
Special mention for chump of the year, star CB and Captain Kevin Kraus who made an outstanding NINE errors leading to goals across the season and still managed to come second in fans POTY.
Finally, a random one as I haven't seen much of this before, mainly the point that I didn't know Kaiser were popular in England! Or could this be added interest from having an Englishman in charge?
A big summer ahead!

Yeah I was too, especially since they've kept a big chunk of their Bundesliga squad
I may try and update you guys on this later, but I only have my iPad with me so it may prove tough for formatting!

A few short updates to keep this ticking over, before I inevitably forget to do it as a part of the end of the season. No results etc coming here, just some transfer news and a little addition.
A few out that I was looking to get rid of for quite a while, just to lower the wage bill. The keen-eyed amongst you will realise that I only signed Negri in the previous January, but he rarely played, loved to moan and his potential was dropping, so I thought I'd cash in to balance the books a little as we've been over the wage budget a couple of thousand this season.
No transfers in, but I did extend the loans of Izzy Brown, Julian Schwermann and Jeong Woo-Yeong until next season, since we only actually pay anything towards the latter and they've probably been 3 of our best players and I'd want to use them next year even IF (huge if) we are promoted.
Finally, the journey continues!

Definitely, not until I'm in the Bundesliga at least!
Please to have it happen, but not the plan for now!
I'm yet to do an interview, so I'll keep that in mind. Found it frustrating in the past, however.

So after a bit of a delay with work, I'm back to the save and I bring you to the halfway stage of season 2, where I'm sure you'll see we're doing a little better than I would have expected! To start us off, it was a busy summer with a lot of players leaving in various ways, with a couple of retirements in there and a few I still can't shift!
That leaves our squad as follows, which I am actually quite pleased with, given the limited wage budget (largely caused by contract clauses and people demanding a pay rise!)and zero to spend.
We actually have one of the youngest squads in the league, which is often how I like to do things at a smaller club, as it protects a bit of the sell-on value on your players where there is inevitable interest. A challenge at the moment is that some of our better players do have release clauses that could cause us problems in January or maybe the summer if we're performing well.
Our results and the table so far are a pleasant surprise!
Really happy with that and only really slipped out of the top 2 in November, for a brief moment, though hopefully, we have rectified that form. I've started playing very attacking, which I think is reflected both in the number of goals we've scored AND conceded
Because of that form and another Bundesliga scalp in the Pokal (should have been 2! :angry: ) I've had the below in my inbox:
Not even considering it or any other jobs for that matter, at least not until we've survived in the Bundesliga, though it is nice to be linked to other clubs which have included Dortmund and Gladbach of late, which is a nice change as I often struggle to change jobs once in a save!
Cheers for reading
EDIT: Just as I posted and pressed continue...

Here's hoping!
They did, quite frustrating that I could never really gain any ground!
Thanks pal, I'm hoping for the same. Update coming tonight!

So, this season was already completed before the thread started and so a lot of the screens are behind time and so not the most detail (including forgetting to take a squad screen!!) but overall it was a good one!
First an foremost, here’s the changes I made to the team. Remember – the first chunk of these were already done by the club.
The most important screen of the lot… the league table:
Pleased to meet our expectations and get promoted, which looked unlikely at one point as you’ll see in the results below. Braunschweig were incredible all season, but we did manage to beat them late in the season which pretty much secured out top 2 place. Don’t think I could have managed the play-offs!
Take a look at December though… is that consistency or just bad form?! Extended that into January’s only competitive game, we managed 4 1-1 draws off the belt
We also managed a CUPSET in the DFB Pokal, beating a tough Werder Bremen side 1-0… third tier beating top… it wasn’t so exciting when we met Hoffenheim mind.
Finally, in the team of the year we had our left-back (which surprised me as he was very poor) but also Mads Albaek who was brilliant all season and not only made this side but got ours and the division’s Player of the Year. He did give me a scare in that he didn’t sign a new contract until he had 4 days left on it mind… although he did turn down Besiktas and Udinese to stay!

Bundesliga Champions as recently as 1999, Champions League quarterfinalists the year after and UEFA Cup semi-finalists the year after that, it really is surprising to find Kaiserslautern now relegated to the third tier in Germany. That's where I come in.
The aim here is to pick the team up and take them back to their former heights, an ambition I shoot for in every FM, but the first time in which I am trying this abroad in a 'lower league'. Bare with me, it will inevitably be a frustrating journey in which I'll swear in many different ways as my form dips, twists and falters along the way - but hopefully, it's enjoyable for all of us and worth it in the end!
I'll aim for seasonal updates, but that may change as we roll.
