Bedese Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 January: After an awful home loss to Hull, we picked up three wins and a draw in four games. Not the hardest run of fixtures, but points are points! 11 points clear! In terms of transfers: We broke our transfer record! Breaking your transfer record on an 18 year old who's never played a first team game in his career is... not orthodox, but we're trying to build for the future, and I think Osieck could be worth the investment. I promise I didn't just sign Yedlin because he tore Rotherham apart earlier today. Our on loan RB Bellanova got crocked, and we need some depth there for a couple of months. We're paying all of his wages (which is a lot) plus 25k a month, but we were desperate for another body at FB and he's not too bad. In terms of outgoings, Kazenga LuaLua has finally been shown the door (700k to Sheffield United), while Giannis Seizis is on loan to Oxford in the Championship, and Emmanuel Okafor (that really small winger who came through our academy) is on loan at Dagenham and Redbridge.

Bedese Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 One thing I forgot to mention - we're not actually using the 2-4-3-1 anymore. We were giving up too much space in the centre of midfield to better teams. We've gone back to our 4-3-3 - and we started using it again in the Brighton game. Pretty good so far!

Thanks guys! It's much appreciated. Very, very happy with how this season went. @Torminator: Chelsea had an awful season - although they've only finished in the top 4 once since they won the league in 2014/15 (and that was 4th, in 2017/18). They've finished 10th, 7th, 4th, 9th, 5th and now 10th. @SpillBlood: I love Nunez. I think we have our keeper for the next decade @nextqprmanager: Thank you! I'm not sure I'm the best person to take advice from considering my previous two attempts . My main advice is just to play to your strengths. In the Championship we won games by having 60% of the ball and just outscoring teams, but that wasn't going to work in the big leagues, so we went more direct, got more men behind the ball and tried to keep things tight, using our pace on the wings. A tactic can either be amazing or awful depending on the players you have to fit it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedese Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Holy... That's over double what we're currently spending on wages, and as for that transfer budget... In the five years of this save so far, do you know what our net transfer spend is? It's -18m. In five years, we've made 18m more from sales than we've spent. Our spending went like this: £88k, £375k, £475k, £0, £14.5m. There hasn't been a single year that we spent more than we made from sales.
