Finances are looking poor so I've shipped out Leon Clarke, Medhi Kerrouche and Izzy Iriekpen for small fee's to free up some wages. It'll be tough to keep star performers Abdou Dieye, Matty Richie and Lukas Magera at the club, with Championship scouts sniffing around. It'll probably be difficult to get Shane Duffy and Amine Linganzi back on season long loans again. I have also agreed a deal to sign goalkeeper Conrad Logan from Leicester on a free to give me some extra quality between the sticks. quote Danger Finished my 3rd season as Porto. Comfortably won the League again, pretty much win it without any effort at all. Also got to the final of Champions League, only to be defeated by Barcelona. Going by my progression (Quarters first season, Semis second season and Final most recent), I should win the CL this season... doubt it though. Also won one of the domestic cups but they're only good to play my youth in. Finances are starting to improve with more sponsorship deals, CL money and a few loans from the owner but still not getting much in terms of transfer funds. Just trying to sign youngsters for cheap or free and signing the occasional first team player for free too. Signed Pedro Martinez [screen] (DR/L) for £1.5 million last season and he done well in his debut season. Looking to play him a bit more this year and hopefully he'll take a nice boost, has the potential to be a solid first team player. Another promising youngster for me is Etienne Agnide [screen] (DC/DM/CM), signed him for £120k so I'm on to a nice profit already. Looks like he'll be a good replacement for my ball winning midfielder role, for when I move on Fernando in a couple years. Hopefully see some of his mental attributes improve and I'd be more comfortable playing him in bigger matches. My best signing of the summer so far is Rafinha [screen] (MC/AMC/ST) from Barcelona on a free transfer. Cheap wages, looks well rounded and still pretty young. Should be a decent squad player and can move him on for a nice profit in a few years no doubt. quote Liverpool_96 Who are the most notable players who you've sold over your three years in charge Danger. In February 2019 now and about to play Liverpool in the first knockout round of the Champions League. Been abysmal in the league seeing as I've been playing lots of youth players from my u19s and reserves but I'm going to start playing properly after destroying Vit Setubal 6-1 in the league with a decent team. Save is getting a little stale now so I think I'm going to join a mid-table Spanish/Italian team and win a few trophies with them before moving on again. ------------------- Can you pinpoint the place where you lost control?

	Just realised i had posted in a while and not since the summer transfer window had ended and the season had started. here are my transfers from the summer Spoiler:There you go there were a couple of loans and a sale of one youth from my academy for 1.6m if below my other transfers out. All in all I got 50m from my sales and loans. I am currently sitting 3rd in the league but i have only lost one game and that is to the current leaders Marseille who are unbeaten. Im not really worried about it though because I know I have the quality to get back. Proll, Paloschi and Cavani have all been on top form for me. Ive been playing Proll and Paloschi up front and then Cavani on the right. Whenever I have moved Cavani up there he doesnt seem to have been performing as well, he hasnt been scoring loads but he has scored a good amount and got a few assists so I cant complain and proll and Paloschi have been banging them in so its all good Also is there any way of scouting the Under 19s champions league?

	Ok, so an update on my Liverpool save... Just finished the first season - Won the League Cup, beating West Brom in the final, but lost the FA Cup final to Chelsea. League was a great finish - 2 points behind Spurs with 2 games left (v Chelsea (a) and v Spurs (h)). So could all come down to the last game with spurs! But I lost to Chelsea as Spurs won to go through 5 points clear and claim the title... gutted! I then thumped Spurs 3-0 in the last game to show how good we really are and close the gap to 2 points... too little too late though. This summer players out: Skrtel (7m - HSV) - Don't need him with Agger and Coates so good and consistent Bellamy (£1m - Fulham) - A bit of a high earner for the bench Shelvey (£4m - Villa) - Unhappy with lack of first team football and I think we have better at the club Kuyt (£8m - Empoli) - Never played much, getting on and good money Doni (£1m - Napoli) - Very big wages considering he never plays! Maxi (£8m - Levurkusen) - Changing tactics and Henderson should do the job on the wing now Adam (£7m - Villa) - Never played him or got him to do a lot Player in: Hargreaves (£750k) - Bargain as backup for Lucas Wilshere (£37m) - I got driven up on this in the end, initially was told he would be available for £25m after becoming unhappy with lack of first team football and as soon as I knew I could get him, I had to have him! £37m in the end, so most of my budget, but what a player he will be for us. Saviola (free) - Backup for Suarez with Bellamy and Kuyt heading out. A centre back from Barcelona (free) Young Romanian regen keeper (£2m) Also brought in some cracking youngsters including Dixon from Southampton, a regen who will be class I think (AML/ST) So with Cole and Aquilani back, that adds some depth to the team, but also takes the wage bill back up to where it was last season after I managed to reduce it by £150k getting rid of some high earners! Changed round the tactics now to suit how I want to play and Wilshere coming in. Moved from 4-4-2 to 4-2-3-1. Standard line-up will now be; Reina, Johnson, Agger, Coates, Enrique, Lucas, Gerrard, Downing, Wilshere, Henderson, Suarez Subs: New keeper, Robinson, Carragher, Hargreaves, Sterling, Aquilani, Saviola My hopes are to get through to quarter finals of Champions League, win one of the domestic cups and try and win the league

	The consortium takeover seems to be back on at WSM. I've also been linked with Doncaster Rovers, who are 23rd in League One, after missing on promotion last season after losing to Sheff Wednesday in the playoffs. Declined to comment on the speculation since I'm happy at WSM, but if they make an offer, it would be hard to refuse, I would only leave should the board back me in the transfer market with a nice transfer kitty to replace the shit squad that Mark Robins brought in on freebies. Selling £2.75m worth of players and bringing bringing in sub-par players on free is only gonna end in disaster anyway.

He's also worth £19.25M and I could get at least £35M out of him with Real Madrid snooping around and willing to match that price tag.

	Aye, didn't want to sell him but he was too keen to join Valencia and pushed them for as much as I could get from them. Also get 35% of his next transfer though, so would stand to make a nice amount if he moves on. Alvaro Pereira has been solid though, so can't complain. -------------------

	My club's takeover is taking ages, but on the plus side, my stadium expansion has been completed. 4000 capacity should do me for now, although only 728 is seated. Might start work on trying to get my training and coaching facilities improved now, so I can improve what decent young players I currently have, and bring up my own academy products.

	Up the Swoodilypoopers! England won the 2014 WC in my Liverpool game. Capello left after the tournament, as did the Brazil & Argentina managers, so I applied for all those jobs (Apply for ALL the jobs!). Would be really pleased with any of them TBH, not sure which I'd prefer to take. EDIT: Think I'll have two saves; one as Liverpool & Argentina and one with England. Edit: Feb 20, 12 12:37pm

	About to start my second season with Michalovce, after winning the Slovakian Second Division last year. Victory in the Slovakian Cup put me in the Europa League where I've drawn some Turkish side in the Third Qualifying Round. Delighted to be in the competition to boost my finances! Here's my transfers from this season: Spoiler:Michalovce Transfers Winning the Cup put me in the Super Cup against Banska Bystrica, which I won on penalties: Spoiler:Slovak Super Cup Spoiler:Tactics Squad remains very similar to last season's, and considering I won the cup despite being in the league below I thought I should cope alright. Won my first game of the season 1-0 Got this guy coming in January on a free, who will be battling it out with last season's top scorer Tarnyik for the single striker position. Spoiler:Luis Looking forward to this season. Getting to the Europa group stages will be a huge challenge considering the finances of the club. My wage budget is 9k p/w, my top earner is on £500 p/w I believe. Really pleased with what I've achieved so far, just hoping it can continue. If anyone's struggling to get into a game I seriously recommend picking a random team from the bottom division of a random country and taking them to the top. Great fun!

	I've just trashed Man United 4-0 at the KC to secure Europa League football with 2 games to spare, with a slim chance of CL football too as i'm 3 points off Liverpool in 4th. Got to spend massively in the summer though, cause my squad is just purely awful and i'm overachieving so much with them. ------------------- Can you pinpoint the place where you lost control?
