yugo23 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I truly hope you won't get relegated, but what happens in that case since there are no lower leagues?

yugo23 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Caersws are increasing the gap, really didn't expect that. When you say that you will spend cash in January, does that mean you didn't want to pay for players in the summer, or just there were no intresting targets?

With just two scouts I had to narrow my searching quite a lot, so I looked at free transfers only. When it came to January I was able to sign four Cwmamman players on the cheap as their contracts were expiring at the end of the season. I could have got them for free in July, but it might be too late then. Asier Royo is still managing Germany. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Seven Sisters - Corbett Sports Welsh Premier League - 2069/70 In my first season at my new club I set myself the challenge of keeping a semi-pro club up in one of the biggest leagues in the World. League Table - despite our laughable defence, we picked up enough wins to edge out Airbus to safety. Domestic Cups - both games came early on in the season, when we were terrible. Transfers - a huge number of players came and went as I desperately tried to put a squad together capable of staying up. Squad - most positions need improving for next season. Finances - there's still a decent amount of money left, which will he needed for next season. Key Player Profiles: Michael Bond - star player and top scorer. Shame he's leaving. Daniel Holland - the striker brought in to score the goals to save us. Daniel Callaghan - a solid defender. Chris Morgan - another important January signing. Nick Holmes - another decent defender. Career Overview Season Position Achievements -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2069/70 10th Next Season The squad badly needs strengthening, ready for yet another relegation battle. I just hope the promoted clubs are weak enough for us to beat them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
