Mansleg Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Congratulations. I'm now on my 4th club in as many years having been sacked from Gillingham in first season, leaving Shrewsbury for Preston, then being sacked by Preston and picked up by Walsall. Nice to see someone's doing something right! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brose Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Nice. My Workington got Euro qualification in year 2017 or 2018 I think. And that was only because I won the League Cup by sheer luck. BSN/BSS to premiership glory. I know how it feels. 2 seasons later you should be winning the premiership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave byrd Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 nice work! do you mind showing us your scores for this season... i want to see if you beat the big names by much Stand out ones are beating Chelsea and Liverpool (champions) at home. Had a good start to the season then a nasty patch around November and at one point we had lost 6 in a row (almost equaling a club record). A home win against Everton in January then put us back on track and set up a great run seeing us only losing 2 league games the rest of the season and ending up 6th.

dave byrd Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 Great achievement mate, good luck building up the squad with your European funds. Well just signed this guy. Cant believe i got him. Had a min fee release clause of £4.7m but i didn't think he'd get a work permit. First application turned down then granted on appeal. Signed on a 5 yr deal. He's the first player i've had to be labeled as a 'wonderkid'. Amazing for Oxford! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave byrd Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 Quick update, just booked our place in the final with a 6-1 home second leg win. First leg away was 0-0 and at half time in the second leg the scores were tied but then the second half saw 7 goals between us! Final will be against AC Milan at Southampton St Mary's stadium...

Chrisy177 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Well done mate! In FM09, my current save is St Albans who I've taken from the BSS to the Prem in 10 years, so you've it done way quicker than I have. I've just started my first Prem season, and I'm struggling a little in 15th place after 6 games. I have a couple of questions for you if that's ok: - What was your transfer budget in your first season? - How difficult did you find your first season? - How many seasons were you in the championship?

I finished 10th in my first prem season, 6th the second and won it in my third. First season was ok. I thumped some teams but was thumped myself quite often, it was ok. - How many seasons were you in the championship? 2. 11th the first year and won it in my second.

You seem good at improving your team every season, then. Tenth is an excellent achievement for a newly promoted team, and it's a very good target to aim for as well.

Tenth is an excellent achievement for a newly promoted team, and it's a very good target to aim for as well. Yeah, basically i spent hours scouting and looking for decent young prospects but i signed most of my players on free transfers when their contracts expired. Some of the more famous free transfer players i've had at Oxford are: Ronaldinho Alberto Aquilani Nigel Reo Coker Freddy Adu (still got him, great player) Victor Moses Joseph Yobo Owen Hargreaves Titus Bramble Roman Pavlyuchenko. Also bought some decent players too like Engin Bekdemir Ochoa and Marco Verratti. This is my current team (although as ever i'm looking to add to it and am in pre season): From the starting 11 pictured Felipe, Le Berre, Lewington and Crook are all currently newgen wonderkids.
