	Finished my first season with Spurs. Had a great season, winning a nice treble. Competitions Spoiler:League Table Was really surprised with this. Don't quite know how I managed it lol. Won my first 15 games and no one seemed to keep up. Never really looked like losing it from then. Spoiler:League Cup Didn't really care much about this competition but my reserves done brilliantly, and then I played a stronger team in the final Spoiler:FA Cup I was in my worst form of the season at this point and of all players to get a hat-trick... Spoiler:Europa League This competition caused a few problems with my fixture list and I ended up only having 1 centre mid fit when it was the semi-fianl (against Porto). Lost the first leg and had a relatively fit Luka Modric back for the second leg and went through, obviously Transfers Spoiler:Transfers Best signing was probably Mandanda because he was solid for the majority of the season. I won a few games because of him! Hummels was injured for most of it so I hope he doesn't turn out to be a waste of money. Key Players It was a real team effort with a lot of changing my team about but I'll try and narrow this down - Jermain Defoe Finished my top scorer with 32, in all competitions. Not bad considering he was playing up front himself and because he's Jermain Defoe. - Michael Dawson Won my player of the year award and was the one defender I never wanted to drop. He managed to get 12 goals, including the winner in the Euro Cup final! - Rafael Van der Vaart Was injured for most of the second half of the season but scored 15 and assisted 15, so he was crucial to my team. - Steve Mandanda Like I've said, he won me games and that's what you want from a goalie, - Niko Kranjcar Surprised me, big time! Bale got injured a few times and I played him out wide and I definitely wouldn't have done so well if it wasn't for his performances. What's next? Looking forward to next season, in the Champions League. Already brought in Leandro Damiao for £19.25m. Looking to bring in a top right winger but I'm really unsure who to go for. Trying to bring in Gago, too. Just for that extra bit of depth.

	Fox Slator LA Galaxy (1 title, 2 US Cups) --> Hull City (L1-->Ch) 2015/16 season First season in the Championship having got Hull promoted last season and it turned out to be quite an eventful season. I wasn't too keen on disrupting the team from last year too much but I did add players to the squad and also bring in a lot of youngsters with potential. Spoiler:2015/16 squad blue - signed at start of season navy - signed in mid-season red - promoted from reserve squads teal - on loan Goalkeepers Josh Lambo American 25 Another solid season and will continue to be my number one for a few seasons at least Graham Parsonage English 19 Has great potential and played well in the odd game here and there Full-backs Joe Dudgeon N. Irish 25 Solid as always but hit with niggly injuries here and there David Gray Scottish 28 Lost his place in the team and was used as a backup Chris Leonard Irish 20 Another player with potential and was a solid backup for either side James Hurst English 24 Excellent player on loan and did well at right back while also covering left if needed Centre-backs Paul McShane Irish 30 Still awesome although suspensions/injuries meant he didn't play as much Donervon Daniels Montserrat 22 After being on loan last season, I signed him permanently and he was solid Zac Fagan English 21 Promoted from the youth and was a good backup, having to play quite a few games Damien Hyde English 19 Another youngster and also did well when needed, including the cup final Centre-midfielders Nick Powell English 22 Didn't impress me as much as others so was rarely used Ryan Tunnicliffe English 23 Got a lot of important goals and was a big player for me Dean Parrett English 24 Has potential and looked decent but never the first choice unless injuries Wesley van Es Dutch 19 Excellent potential and showed some of it during the season Tyler Fisk Candadian 22 Injury meant he never had the chance to impress and was used here and there after he returned Randall Azofeifa Costa Rican 31 Experience in the middle that I needed and showed it after joining Wingers K. Andersen Danish 30 Another excellent season making me not think about signing him on another contract Jonathan Wilmet Belgium 30 Was backup and scored some important goals but will be releasing him now Sanchez Watt English 24 Not as prolific in the goals but played most games this season and got a lot of assists Strikers S. Ebanks-Blake Jamaican 30 Still grabbed the goals, although not as prolifically but injury ended season early Jack McBean American 21 Was backup and scored some big goals but needs to show more next season Elliot Lee English 21 Top scorer and could be a really big player for Hull in future seasons Daniele Gragnoli Italian 22 Has potential and scored a couple goals but nothing special this season Spoiler:2015/16 stats blue - signed at start of season navy - signed in January red - promoted from reserve squads teal - on loan Goalkeepers Josh Lambo 52 76 conc. 12 cln shts Graham Parsonage 4 7 conc. 1 cln sht apps. goals asts 1st 11 Full-backs Joe Dudgeon 35(2) 1 6 LB David Gray 5(1) 0 0 Chris Leonard 20(4) 0 0 James Hurst 51 0 3 RB Centre-backs Paul McShane 38 6 5 CB Donervon Daniels 47 4 2 CB Zac Fagan 24(7) 3 0 Damien Hyde 3(3) 1 0 Centre-midfielders Nick Powell 3(6) 0 0 Ryan Tunnicliffe 44(8) 9 5 CM Dean Parrett 35(14) 4 3 Wesley van Es 17(4) 1 2 Tyler Fisk 9(3) 1 4 Randall Azofeifa 19(4) 4 1 CM Wingers K.

FA Cup 3rd Round v Burnley Home 2-0 4th Round v Stoke Home 1-1 Replay: 4-1 5th Round v Preston Home 3-0 6th Round v Bolton Home 2-0 Semi Final v Man Utd Neutral 2-0 Final v Liverpool Neutral 2-4e What a run, never expected that to happen. Burnley was a standard win and a dominant performance got a replay against Premier League Stoke and showed that control again in the replay, they had no chance even with Ibrahimovic scoring for them. Then we knocked out Championship side Preston and Premier League side Bolton before somehow beating Man Utd 2-0 at Wembley with ten men for eighty minutes of the game, both the goals were penalties. Then we had the final against title winners, Liverpool; the dream was on in the first minute when we took the lead but Liverpool's many waves of attacks finally got a goal before half-time and then they took the lead in the second half before we got the equaliser. We made it to extra time but it was time too long with Suarez curling a screamer before Torje got the fourth. Andersen scored both the goals for us which made me definitely sign him up for another season. But this means we play in Europe next season. Championship 1st) C West Brom 46 +40 87 . . . 6th) Brighton 46 +12 75 ------------- . . . 13th) Preston 46 -9 65 14th) Hull 46 -2 63 15th) Portsmouth 46 -6 61 . . . ------------- 22nd) R Coventry 46 -30 47 Before the season I wanted mid season security with no threat of relegation around and that's exactly what happened. Although in the middle of the season we had an excellent run of games and found ourselves only a couple points off the playoffs. With the run we were on I thought the playoffs could definitely be a possibility but then we went downhill, possibly due to the cup run, and won only a few games in the last third of the season putting us in 14th and a rare finish in the bottom half, having been mainly in the top half of the table. For next season: Enjoy playing in Europe while also hopefully trying to mount a promotion charge. If we make the group stage then the fixture congestion will be hard but will aim for the playoffs and hopefully make some key signings to put us up there.

	Fox Slator LA Galaxy (3 seasons: 1 title, 2 US Cups) --> Hull City (L1: 1.5 seasons --> Ch: 2 seasons-) 2016/17 season A strange season to have a Championship title fight alongside playing in Europe and the first of the season was definitely a struggle. I brought in a few players to bolster up the squad as needed a good size squad to manage all the games but it was definitely a hard process. Spoiler:2016/17 squad blue - signed at start of season navy - signed in mid-season red - promoted from reserve squads teal - on loan Goalkeepers Josh Lambo American 26 Shown a lot of weaknesses this season and might have to find a new number one Graham Parsonage English 20 Still has the potential and could risk putting him into the number one shirt Full-backs Joe Dudgeon N. Irish 26 Usually plays well but found it hard to play two games running Chris Leonard Irish 21 Rotated him around the full-back positions and normally did well Carlos Allen English 20 Played a lot of games and could be a top right back in years to come Centre-backs Paul McShane Irish 31 Still going strong at his age and will probably be good for one or two more seasons Donervon Daniels Montserrat 22 Rarely missed a game and highlight was scoring a hattrick one game Zac Fagan English 21 The backup and continues to show promise when used Damien Hyde English 20 Played a few games and was average, potential dropping off a bit as well so might sell Centre-midfielders Nick Powell English 23 Completely lost favour and only played a couple games, will sell him Ryan Tunnicliffe English 24 Looking very good at becoming an awesome midfielder, played most games this season Dean Parrett English 25 Played a lot in the first half of the season but never showed anything special Wesley van Es Dutch 20 My backup player and is beginning to bring his potential into current performances Tyler Fisk Candadian 23 Played a good amount of games but never showed something to make me keep him in the side Bela Fulop English 19 He's got potential but only played a couple times and he's becomming unhappy because of that K-P Boateng Ghanaen 30 Got him on a free in January and played most games since joining, doing well Wingers K. Andersen Danish 31 No surprise that our drop in form came during his long injury spell, still got it Sanchez Watt English 26 Played a good amount of games and still getting those assists but less sparkle than he's had Patrice Petit French 21 My expensive signing and although he didn't grab many goals, he certainly got the assists Strikers S. Ebanks-Blake Jamaican 31 Lost his ability but did grab a goal in one of his two sub appearances Jack McBean American 22 Didn't break through this season as I wanted him to so will consider his future Elliot Lee English 22 Excellent season and he really fired in the goals, part of an awesome partnership Lukas Jutkiewicz Polish 28 Got him on the cheap and he scored plenty although had the odd dry spell here and there Willaim Donaghy N. Irish 22 Looked like he could compete for the forward position but only scored a couple of goals Jamie Saunders English 17 Newcastle sent him to me but didn't need anymore forwards so he only played the one game Spoiler:2016/17 stats blue - signed at start of season navy - signed in January red - promoted from reserve squads teal - on loan Goalkeepers Josh Lambo 50 70 conc. 14 cln shts Graham Parsonage 8 16 conc. 2 cln shts apps. goals asts 1st 11 Full-backs Joe Dudgeon 39 0 2 LB Chris Leonard 28(3) 1 1 Carlos Allen 44(1) 0 5 RB Centre-backs Paul McShane 50 8 1 CB Donervon Daniels 52 7 0 CB Zac Fagan 15(12) 1 2 Damien Hyde 4(2) 0 1 Centre-midfielders Nick Powell 1(1) 0 0 Ryan Tunnicliffe 51(1) 4 8 CM Dean Parrett 22(6) 0 0 Wesley van Es 10(20) 2 3 Tyler Fisk 18(7) 1 4 Bela Fulop 2 0 0 K-P Boateng 18 1 3 CM Wingers K.

I didn't mind losing at all because the less fixture congestion, the better, it was almost a preference. FA Cup 3rd Round v QPR Home 0-3 No FA Cup magic this season but again I didn't mind as losing in the third round could mean focus on challenging for promotion and I showed this by making many changes to the usual side; I didn't expect the thrashing to happen and still thought the team was good enough to get through but I wasn't unhappy to leave the competition. Europa League 4th Qual v Sturm Graz Away: 2-2 Home: 4-1 (6-3) Group B 1st) Q Valencia 6 +8 12 2nd) Q Olympiakos 6 0 10 3rd) AS Monaco 6 -2 9 4th) Hull 6 -6 4 We played very well in the qualifier to progress into a very hard group, progression wasn't expected but we were going to enjoy it. We expectedly lost the first two games at home against Valencia and away to Monaco before being unlucky to not take all three points away to Olympiakos when they scored a late equaliser. The most disappointing was the home loss against the Greek side before our best game of the season where an Elliot Lee hattrick won the game in Valencia. The final game was a home defeat to Monaco but the European experience was good for the side. Championship 1st) C Watford 46 +43 91 2nd) P Wigan 46 +30 82 ------------- 3rd) P Sheff Wed 46 +28 82 4th) Hull 46 +26 82 5th) Norwich 46 +10 78 6th) Southampton 46 +16 76 ------------- 7th) Huddersfield 46 +8 71 Play Off SF v Norwich Away: 0-3 Home: 2-2 (2-5) I believe we would have been promoted easily if it wasn't for playing in Europe; we played a lot better in the second half of the season in the league, than the first and Europe is probably why. In the end we were very unlucky in finished 4th but joint points with second; the most crutial result was the penultimate game where we lost at home to Preston and really should have been winning that game. I believed we still had a strong chance from the playoffs but we were just aweful against Norwich. For next season: Unsure if I'll stick with Hull but if I do promotion is definitely the goal and I'll buy the odd player to make that happen.

	Finally started my first game last night. Arsenal FC Squad Assesment: Spoiler:GK: After selling Almunia to Barcelona for £2million, I was lining up Adler and had agreed a deal for £9million and £50K wages when Szecezny picked up a 4 week injury. Adler was also out for 3-4 months so I cancelled the deal and he signed a new contract for his current club. So when Szecezny returns he will be my number 1. Fabianski and Mannone both played OK during the tour of China so they are battling for my 2nd choice spot. I will wait for a very young talanted keeper to be found by my scouting network. Spoiler:RB: Sagna is obviously my first and, if i'm honest, my only right full back in the team. Jenkinson is not up to the standard of premier league football yet and I don't intend on rushing him into my first team plans. I looked at the popular Vrsaljko but with interest in Sagna coming from Barca I decided it would be sensible to sign a RB who had the ability to come straight into the team. After scouting players in this position I made a couple of offers, one to Manchester City for Micah Richards who were interested in two of my players. After many attemps we could not agree a suitable transfer fee and I persued other targets. I eventually paid £5.75mill for the services of frenchman Mathieu Debuchy who will play understudy rotation in this position. Spoiler:LB: Coming into this team I wasn't convinced by the left side of defence but after an encouraging start to his Arsenal career Santos will get the nod to start here, particularly in home games or when we need some extra attacking width. Young Gibbs will get his chances when he recovers from a pre-season knock. I am confident that even if I have both player out through injury, Vice-Captain Vermaelen can fill in here with minimal fuss or disruption to the team. Spoiler:CB: The squad seems to have alot of cover in this area but lacks any real punch. I have faith in Vermaelen and Koscielny as first teamers but have yet to see new boy Mertasaker in action due to a minor injury. I hope he can add strength in depth along with Djourou who himself is at a make or break season in my mind. Squillaci, who is currently injured for a couple of months, will be looking for a move away from the club in January. Spoiler:DM: I hold this position in high regard as it will prove to be important against good opposition with creative attacking players. Song has established himself in this position and I believe him to be a good influence on the rest of the squad so I see no reason to remove him from the team. As for back up, I have the enthusiastic Frimpong coming through the ranks however I don't believe he is quite at this level yet so to protect him from himself and will use him sparingly. I will consider a loan bid from a championship club if the opportunity arises. This left me with a dilema, should I bring in a player to cover Alex. After thinking long and hard I asked for a scouting report into David Albelda of Valencia to be carried out. He would be available for a seasons long loan for £250K fee and I would only need to pay 50% of his 40K wages. This was a great deal for us as he brings experience at every level of the game and will provide good cover by keeping Song honest. I did potenitally have Chilian Gary Medel on standby for a fee of £7million but decided not to complete the deal. Spoiler:CM: The central midfield of the squad has a strong, balanced and creative feel about it. With Arteta, Ramsey, Wilshere and Rosicky available, there is no need to strengthen here yet. Rosicky and Arteta have impressed during pre-season when allow to dictate the tempo of the games. Spoiler:LW: Having alot of options here has it's merits and it's problems. Arshavin is a cultured, creative and influential player but he doesn't always get into games meaning he has the ability to win a game or go missing in one! His stature and self-belief is a commendable quality but this brings with it a expectation to be first on the team sheet. Something I might not be able to grant him. I hope we can get the best out of him after turning down £12mill from Manchester City. With players like Gervinho, Walcott and Park able to play in his position he will have to fight to stay in the team. On loan Yossi Benayoun has returned to his parent club as I felt his squad status of back up did not reflect the £65K wage. Spoiler:RW: At this position I can count 4 or 5 players able to effectively lay a claim to their selection. Captian Robin Van Persie who could be concidered an out-and-out forward may be able to influence the game greatly from this area and therefore stakes a strong claim. Walcott, Gervinho and Arshavin also look good here. The biggest surprise to me so far during pre-season has been the performances of Alex Oxlaide-Chamberlain who has, despite his very young age, proved that he can put in match winning displays in this position. So much so that he will not be allowed to leave on loan and instead train with the first team and play the occational league and cup match. Spoiler:CF: My main strikers will be Van Persie, Chamakh, Walcott and Park. Three of which can play out wide and the benefits of that mean Chamakh may get a run in my team if his form deems it so. I am looking for the next young wonderkid in this position but as we all know looking for him and finding him is a very different thing. Bids for Neymar and Podolski have been met with unreasonable figures so I will bide my time until the right player at the right price comes along. My formation is a 4-5-1 with the positions as decribed in my squad assessment. During early pre-season I have been playing a control tactic while the squad get accustomed to my way of playing. I use the attacking nature of Santos as a wing back to give the team width and have LW and RW positions cutting in-field. The team seemed to have problems putting chances away initially but after some game time goals started to come. However, lack of concentration at the back meant we keep conceeding. Also after a good first half performance myself and Pat Rice keep agreeing to praise the team. This appeared to cause the team to take their foot off the pedal and allow the opposition a way back into the match. I will be changing this approach in the next few games. In the last game, against Colorado Rapids, I opted for an attack mentality and it paid dividends as we raced into an early 2 goal lead and added a further 2 more before the break. As usual a 'Well Done Lads, Keep It Up' was Pat's words and the final result ended in a 4-1 win. They had a goal disallowed and scored their consolation from the penalty spot. However it was the manner of our performance in the second period that really p*ssed me off. It was a completely different team mentally that turned out after such a productive and promising first half. I hope to sort out this obvious problem in our approach before the season kicks off in 2 weeks time. Edit: Jan 25, 12 8:53am

Tweety Pie FM11 Moment of the Year Seeketh Maximus since: Mar 2008	Jan 29, 12 at 10:53am ^ re: Story of Your Season & Career
	Another year, another Liverpool save... let's hope this one beats the last TRANSFERS - Mostly youth purchases, of whom Maier shone the most, and Diamé was disappointing, leaving next year in lieu of Coady impressing on his loan spells. An ordinary transfer season, giving us this team: CARLING CUP - A disappointing run where my backup XI lucked out against Chelsea, with a penalty against us and two goals disallowed. Man Utd went on to win it, one of our aims for next season is to bag this trophy. FA CUP - No real troubles were posed by a road to Wembley started with a satisfying victory against Man Utd then lead to a fairly easy journey to a final against Arsenal (picture self explanatory) PREMIER LEAGUE - A bright start from Charlie Adam cancelled out Gerrard's absence early on, before the pivotal captain returned and combined with Suárez to make the best attack in the league for the first half of the season which was spent neck and neck with an impressive Man Utd. Although we swept all lesser sides beneath us, a Giggs freekick at Anfield sparked the race back into life. After the defeat we went on an incredible winning run before a Gerrard injury coincided with a tough run of fixtures in 2012- 4 points from Spurs, City and Chelsea is not to be sniffed at however, with Nathan Eccleston an unexpected talent from the bench. Man Utd couldn't keep winning though, and we seized the title 5-0 at Fulham before the FA Cup Final precursor at Anfield. Already on holidays for the defeat at Old Trafford... SQUAD - The team and reserves were impressive, in particular Jordan Hendersonwho I do not especially rate but really proved me wrong. Jack Robinson was very good when given the chance to shine, as were Raheem Sterling and somewhat surprisingly Nathan Eccleston- the FM12 Ngog? Looking to move on Carroll, Maxi, Kuyt, Bellamy, Diamé, Aquilani and Cole in the short term, in the longer term; Adam, Downing, Johnson, Enriqué and Lewis are perfectly dispensable. Bring on the youngsters! ------------------- BOSSA NOVA SIMILIS BOSSA SENECA Small, furry, foreign

	Fox Slator LA Galaxy (3 seasons: 1 title, 2 US Cups) --> Hull City (L1: 1.5 seasons --> Ch: 2 seasons-) 2017/18 season Thought we had a good chance of dominating the league this season but it was another disappointing season. I brought in three players plus a few youngsters and we started the season well but the middle third was a disaster and resulted in me changing the formation. Spoiler:2017/18 squad blue - signed at start of season navy - signed in mid-season red - promoted from reserve squads teal - on loan Goalkeepers Josh Lambo American 27 Lost his place during the season but won it back to put in some good performances Graham Parsonage English 21 Ended up using him for a good proportion of games but lost his place with bad performances Full-backs Joe Dudgeon N. Irish 27 Another good season from the left back but unfortunately injured for the playoffs Chris Leonard Irish 22 Was a backup and did well when needed to cover for the positions Carlos Allen English 21 Excellent season and was also unfortunate to get pretty much only injury during playoffs Centre-backs Donervon Daniels Montserrat 24 Lost McShane due to transfer clause and Daniels became the main defender, mostly doing well Zac Fagan English 22 The fourth choice and did alright in the handful of games he played Kyle Bartley Jamaican 27 New key signing and we usually did very well at the back alongside Daniels Derrick Williams Irish 25 Another Irish connection and was a good backup for centre and full-back Centre-midfielders Ryan Tunnicliffe English 25 A good season and he played most of the games, maybe wanted more from him Wesley van Es Dutch 21 Change of formation brought out the best in him and he's beginning to show his potential Tyler Fisk Candadian 24 Did not really use this season with him dropping down the pecking order Bela Fulop English 20 Change of formation also brought Fulop into the side and he did mostly well K-P Boateng Ghanaen 30 A decent season but was unimpressive in a lot of games Ciaran Flynn Irish 19 Promoted from the reserves but only got the one appearance, should be good in future Wingers K. Andersen Danish 32 Even at this age he is playing incredible for me, will always respect Andersen Sanchez Watt English 27 Did not play as much this season but did pretty well when he did play Patrice Petit French 22 He is a top player and was a very good player for me this season Strikers Jack McBean American 23 Got his chance here and there but one goal meant he didn't force his way into the lineup Elliot Lee English 23 Looked like he might not be as good this season but switched it on to be top striker again Lukas Jutkiewicz Polish 29 Started strong then completely lost his touch resulting in him losing his place Willaim Donaghy N. Irish 23 He has the ability but just never shows it, expected more Jerome Lecomte French 21 Another player with potential who managed to score a goal in his two appearances Mihnea Neacsu Romanian 21 Has massive potential and also can play on the wings, was good at linking up play for me Spoiler:2017/18 stats blue - signed at start of season navy - signed in January red - promoted from reserve squads teal - on loan Goalkeepers Josh Lambo 31 43 conc. 8 cln shts Graham Parsonage 21 26 conc. 8 cln shts apps. goals asts 1st 11 Full-backs Joe Dudgeon 42(1) 0 7 LB Chris Leonard 10 1 0 Carlos Allen 47 0 6 RB Centre-backs Donervon Daniels 46 7 1 CB Zac Fagan 6(5) 1 0 Kyle Bartley 41(1) 7 1 CB Derrick Williams 16(10) 2 1 Centre-midfielders Ryan Tunnicliffe 46(1) 4 7 CM Wesley van Es 36(9) 6 3 AMC Tyler Fisk 1(2) 0 2 Bela Fulop 13(1) 0 3 CM K-P Boateng 20(18) 1 5 Ciaran Flynn 0(1) 0 0 Wingers K.

Good to get a cup run but happy with how we did in the cup anyway. FA Cup 3rd Round v Hereford Away 0-4 Hereford are also in the Championship but we got this fixture during the low point of the season and with performances not going so well I decided to rotate the squad to keep focus on the league. Still didn't expect to lose so heavily and it was a bit of a disappointment. Championship 1st) C Bolton 46 +40 89 2nd) P QPR 46 +35 85 ------------- 3rd) P Huddersfield 46 +26 83 4th) Burnley 46 +22 82 5th) Southampton 46 +25 81 6th) Hull 46 +34 78 ------------- 7th) Fulham 46 +14 76 Play Off SF v Huddersfield Home: 3-3 Away: 0-1 (3-4) I thought this would be our year but we kept going through long periods of going out of form and we never showed the ability to form a strong title challenge, except maybe in the opening few games. It was a poor season but we did scrape it into the playoffs. We were playing quite well towards the end of the season so thought we had a chance but letting a 3-1 lead slip to draw 3-3 in the first leg was what cost us. The second leg was very even and we were very unlucky to lose that game 0-1 and fail in the playoffs for the second year running. For next season: I think I've had enough at Hull now and will resign, looking for jobs elsewhere. Will probably only take Premier League or club from first two divisions in foreign league. Enjoyed being at Hull but last two seasons seemed to be similar outcomes and need a change.

	Wisla Plock - Season 3 Season 1 Season 2 This was out first season in the Polish top division so preseason expectations were to just survive although we were tipped to come bottom of the league. Despite the odds though we had a brilliant season where we definitely overachieved by coming sixth. We spent most of the mid season hovering around the relegation zone but after the mid season break we kicked on and moved up the leagues. We were even in contention for the title with a few games to go but we collapsed in the last three games ending up even outside the Europa League spots. We also made it all the way to the Semi Finals of the Polish Cup but we had a terrible performance in the second leg throwing away a 1-0 lead from the first leg losing 3-1 on agg. » Squad and Transfers Spoiler:Squad Spoiler:Transfers Anjembe - Inspired signing if i say so myself, brought him in on loan for £16k in February from Buducnost in Montenegro and ended my joint top scorer with 10 goals in 11 games. Im trying bring him in permanently but he won't sign a contract Radler - Brought in on a free transfer as our defence was out big weak spot. He had plenty of experience in the Polish top division and played in most matches. Cetkovic - Brought him in for £24k and although he performed well consistently he didn't live up to my expectations. Hopefully he will play better next season. Cvetkovic - Brought him in for £150k in February as we had a bit of a injury crisis at the back. He didn't have the best of starts and kinda wondered if i wasted the money early on but picked it up near the end of the season and i think he will come good next season. » League Spoiler:Table Spoiler:Season Progress Spoiler:Fixtures » Polish Cup Spoiler:Fixtures ------------------- Sims CIty 5 - Omerta: City of Gangsters - NFS:Most Wanted 2012 - NBA 2K13

	2019/20 Transfer signings I made several transfers but the most gutting was losing Nahuel Barrios to Real Madrid. He was a key player this season and I was gutted when I lost him. Luka Modric played well in his loan spell and at 34 years of age he provides decent cover because of the loss of Barrios. I wished Exodus Darko was good enough because he has such an awesome name but I released him. Harriot and Meza are players that have very good potential. I wanted Tafadzwa Lunga for a very long time even at the start of his career but because of work permits that did not happen. Thankfully I have finally have him. Spoiler:Transfer signings Premier league I do seem a little dissapointed not winning because we had a very strong start to the season but because we had a lot of inconsistent form we blew it. We were at the top at one point; but Man united pulled a blinder. Spoiler:Premier league Champions league Wow am I dissapointed with this. I thought I had done enough to beat Real Madrid after a stunning 3-0 win and no Nahuel Barrios in sight I thought we could get through but how wrong I was. I went to the Bernabeu expecting either a 1-0 defeat or a draw but this was heartbreaking as real Madrid scored 2 goals in the last minute. Spoiler:Champions league FA cup Not a great cup run I have to admit but Chelsea seem to always do well in the cups. Although in my game Chelsea are not that good anymore. Spoiler:FA cup Carling cup Disappointing. But I could not give a flying monkeys about the Carling cup it was good experience for some youth players.

	Well since this doesn't merit a story but is pretty interesting, I decided to post here (and I'm enjoying reading everyone else's posts too!) Gateshead, originally in BSP, predicted to go midtable or even relegated there. Instead, I did a double hop (in other news in my game Swansea does the double drop, and I play them in my first L1 game lol). ________________________________________________________________ The League Spoiler:BSP Spoiler:L2 A late surge in the Npower League 2 led me to the promotion playoffs. Actually, it went down to the final game, I could have had automatic promotion if a few results happened in my favor lol. _________________________________________________________________ Key Players Spoiler:Xavier Balc This guy is probably the entire reson I ever had a chance of being promoted. Spoiler:Pablo A definite signing if you are a Blue Square Bet Premier or Npower League 2 team Spoiler:John Shaw I don't even understand how the bleep he even does good. At the most, he was rated 2 stars buy my coaching staff. Somehow, he stepped up to the plate, and whether set as a Target Man or Poacher, was a threat to any team. He was very consistent with his performances. Determination: 15 may have to do with it... __________________________________________________________________ Best Result Spoiler:Gateshead 4-2 Sheff Utd In my first ever League Cup game, we faced Npower Championship side Sheff Utd, and won in extra time, scoring 2 goals.Xavier Balc had 3 assists and a goal, adding to stunning performance by the entire Gateshead team. ------------------- FM Memes

	Marseille Season 2011/2012 Finished a great season at Marseille, couldn't have asked for better in the league, shame about one of the cups, lost out to St Etienne in the first round of the Coupe de la Ligue but we won the French Cup so it's all good. Champions League was a lot better than I expected as well, and I can't complain, we went out to United. Great season, went on a 28 game unbeaten streak then it came to an end a few games before the end of the season to St Etienne. Finished with a record amount of points in Ligue 1, the previous being Lyon with 84. Losses were to Lille (A), Lyon (A) and St Etienne (A). Won the French equivalent of the Community Shield vs Lille. As I said, lost to St Etienne, my bogey team for the season, even though I beat them once, but yeah, didn't deserve anything out of the game. Can't complain about this, great performances in every round and fully deserved to win to help us achieve the double. Looks awful with the amount of losses, but yes, that's the semi-final haha, can't complain about the two semi-leg's, I thought we might have a chance at Home judging by recent results but we just got dominated. Start with a transfer budget and only 60 pound left over in wages so yeah, not a chance I could really bring anyone in.. This budget makes up for it though!

	S.S.C Napoli 2011/2012 Originally started this on the story forum but started to feel like my writing was getting boring so decided to move it here instead. Anyway had a great first season winning the Serie A and Copa Italia when I was aiming to get top 4. Had a decent time in the champions league getting through a tough group then going out to United in the knockout stage. Serie A Spoiler:League Table Had a great league season finishing 12 points clear at the top, was probably helped by Inter and A.C's bad form but my team went on two huge win streaks during the season. Copa Italia Spoiler:Copa Italia Results A great run in the Copa Italia aswell winning every game and beating a strong A.C side in the final. Quite suprised to get so far considering how close I was ran by Serie B Brescia in the opening game. UEFA Champions League Spoiler:Champions League Group Spoiler:Champions League Results Came through the what was a group of death of this season by the skin of my teeth only beating Arsenal into the last sixteen on head to head. Got beaten convincingly by Man United in the last sixteen but I'll be at their level soon enough hopefully Transfers and Team Spoiler:Transfers Spoiler:Best 11 All the players that joined came good first season, Erick Torres was brilliant playing as an amc and having Balzaretti and Gonul as wing backs was the difference maker in alot of games. As you'll see form the best eleven the attackers shone all season. Cavani's a monster as everyone who plays fm knows and Lavezzi, Hamsik, Pandev and Torres all hit double figures too.

	S.S.C Napoli 2012/13 More of the same second season, found it harder going this time though probably because of all the transfer activity. Won the Serie A again just as comfortably as last season and won the Copa Italia again getting my biggest win so far in the Final against Inter of all teams. Disappointing time in Europe though, dropped into the Europa league after some bad results in the Champions league group stage including my biggest defeat so far when Liverpool hammered me 7-2. Became a wanted man at the end of the season, being offered the Inter job but turned it down as I'm enjoying Napoli too much. All in all it was another good season and finally got the clubs rep up to a good level so I can now attract some better players for next year. Serie A Spoiler:League Table Retained my league title though didn't have as easy a time of it as the previous year and spend quite a bit of the season in second. Biggest suprise was Atalanta though, they signed Hoarau from Psg and he ended up scoring a bagfull of goals for them and the beat me home and away. Copa Italia Spoiler:Copa Italia Results Spoiler:Copa Italia Final Still unbeaten in the Copa Italia, quite proud of that record . Couldn't believe the result in the final, my team just went nuts in front of goal and Cavani put in a class performance as usual. Napoli in Europe Spoiler:Champions League Group Results Spoiler:Champions League Group Spoiler:Europa League Results Not a great season in Europe again, got another hard champions league group but couldn't sneak out of this one and dropped in the Europa League and got an unkind draw against Bayern who beat me easily in both legs. Transfers and Team Spoiler:Transfers Spoiler:Best Eleven Lots and lots of transfer activity this season, bought alot of players with Corchia and Otamendi looking like great bits of business already and and a good bunch of youth players who'll hopefully be future stars. Only big sale was Lavezzi. He got unsettled after alot of interest and wanted a move so I offered him out and he eventually went to Zenit, Weiss stepped into his role well though. Team performance was pretty much the same as last season with Cavani being the main man again and Otamendi becoming an absolute rock at the back.
