Makoto Nakamura Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 17 minutes ago, ManUtd1 said: Finally catching up in here. Solid work in Germany, and a great start in England. Once you get the finances sorted, you'll really take off! The finances are a worry except we have an overall balance of £104m, with new contracts we're now spending £75K p/w over the wage budget but I want to try and get rid of Andre Ayew and Sofiane Feghouli in January and that would free up £159K p/w.

Makoto Nakamura Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 November 2018 Wait, what? back-to-back 6-0 wins? One of which being against Man City? Huh? Absolutely amazing month bar the draw at home to Hull Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 December 2018 We were very lucky to draw against Man Utd, we spent 52 minutes with 10 men and had 1 shot compared to their 27 and then we go and hammer Chelsea 4-0 away and Liverpool 5-1 at home thanks again to amazing 1st half performances which sees us climb to 3rd at the half way stage! Basel is a great draw! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 January 2019 Losses away to Arsenal and Tottenham in the league pushes us down to 4th, I'm hoping that Arsenal's form remains sketchy and that we can hold on to 4th. I sold Sofiane on the cheap and Andre is gone for now which cleared a lot of room in the wages..but it hasn't changed anything and I'm just as or even more confused with FFP than I was before. We're below our wage budget but this was it at the start of the season and surely we could have lessened the transfer budget to put into the wage budget if it's that much of a problem? Our salary is also just £70.76m per annum, which is 12th out of the 20 Premier League clubs. I don't understand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 February 2019 Just the 2 league games but we manage to climb up to 3rd and make it through to the FA Cup Quarter Final after victories over Brighton and Arsenal, we face Huddersfield next. In the Europa League we beat Basel 8-0 over 2 legs but don't know yet who we'll play in the next round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also squeak through to the Europa League Quarter Finals. I honestly did not expect Celtic, they beat Sporting 6-4 on aggregate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 October 2019 An unbeaten month where we draw away to Man City in the league, at least we're playing all the big teams away from home in the 1st half of the season, hopefully it will mean a nicer end to the season, in the Champions League it's a straight forward victory over Molde and then a draw against Milan, which is actually disappointing since we took the lead in the 84th minute only for M'baye Niang to equalise in the 91st.

If I were the owner and I heard my manager sold KDB for £108m, I would have patted him on the back for some decent business.

At least we have already guaranteed European football with our 1-0 victory over Southampton in the EFL Cup Final! It may not be last seasons Europa League but silverware is silverware! We also now face Stoke in the FA Cup Semi Final and we do the unthinkable by knocking out PSG 5-1 on aggregate! Both Madrid's, out. Juventus out, Barcelona, Monaco and PSG all out!
