2032/33 Table | Squad | Transfers Started the season in terrible form with 3 points from the first 8 games but picked up after that before another poor run in feb and mar left the team in midtable, never really in relegation trouble due to the bottom 2 being so poor. PSG came close to losing the title as their funding has been withdrawn, they beat Nantes 6-1 on the last day. In the french cup the team beat National Laval 3-2 away in the ninth rd before then drawing 2-2 at home to Ligue 2 Dijon and going out on penalties. Finances continued to improve thanks to Man Utd buying a young player who had never even played for me for £7.75 million + add ons. This enabled training and youth improvements, a new stadium was also announced. I spent a record amount on Lafton who did an ok job up front Player performance was an issue for much of the season with some 1st choice players in poor form. My 1st choice keeper Burke was poor and after bringing in a 3rd keeper he was able to leapfrog Burke. I brought in Rey who looked a great player but he was terrible, this was underscored by the back up winger playing so well and probably my best player this season. Club icon Zougobo (268 apps, 119 goals) left the club.

The loss of money from rangers is amazing in not developing youth players, even selling on most of the players with a PA over 100 for a nominal fee with a sell on would have surely generated millions over the years. They seem to have produced a lot of players who could play in the scottish premiership or english championship but not profited. Have you looked at the PA of the players you have produced just to compare it? -

that result against Hearts could be crucial for GD or H2H if you finish level with them. -

Great start to the season. Rangers is a strange one in that they were in big financial trouble for years but still spending a lot in incoming transfers when you would expect transfer profits although they did overspend on the players bought. They haven't seeming sold many players so some must be still there, so it seems surprising they are struggling, the players must have downed tools. -

Good season, at least the GD is close enough that a win will let you overtake Celtic or Kilmarnock if you beat them. -
31/32 Table | Squad | Transfers Started the season quite well competing in almost all matches although this led to a few too many draws. By halfway through the season the team was in 7th with a faint possibilty of europe but losing in the cup in jan lead to a real free fall in results. The team picked up just 4 points in the last 9 games with most being very one sided, in spite of this the team were still comfortably clear of relegation. We still have a lot of ground to make up on the other teams in the league. In the french cup the team entered the cup in the ninth rd and faced Ligue 2 FCSM away. After FCSM missed a penalty it still required my team to score 2 90th min goals to draw 3-3 and win on penalties. In the 10th rd the team were away to Ligue 1 Toulouse but were edged out 1-2 in a close match. Finances have continued to rise quite a bit in spite of increased wages and new training and youth upgrades in the pipeline. The baord are also looking into a new ground A lot of long serving players were let go or left as they were not good enough, these included Kinkela (115 apps, 27 goals), Yao (124 apps), Koffi (220 apps, 46 goals), Ait Hamouche (113 apps, 2 goals), Dziki (164 apps, 5 goals) and Faye (173 apps , 2 goals). Record purchase Tesic was probably my best player although he did miss a number of games through injury and suspension. In a team short of goals Mustafic was the best of my midfielders and fowards.

2030/31 Table | Squad | Transfers Made a pretty poor start with 7 defeats in the first 12 games to only be in midtable. A 10 game unbeaten run then put the team up into the promotion mix. The results at the end of the season were a bit mixed but the team picked up enough points to go into 2nd with one game to go. Brest completely bottled it with a run of poor form and lost the last game of the season to hand promotion to Racing who lost the last game as well. The team was helped by the overall poor standand this season with the top 3 in previous seasons always over 60 points and 6th place last season got 61 points. In the french cup the reserves beat a lower league team 9-0 in the 7th rd before meeting National 2 FC Versailles in teh 8th rd. After drawing 1-1 the team went out on penalties. Finances were level due to a lack of a cup run but the club still managed to improve the youth facilities and youth recruitment. There were no significant transfers in or out. The main architects of promotion were the strikers Dembo and Kinkela although there were good performances all round with an improvment in defence even with the GK in poor form.

That money will help massively, both for improving the facilities and increasing the wage budget to get any remaining players on FT contracts.
