We move on some youth players who wouldn't make the grade, so we've turned a decent profit already.

A couple of familiar faces here, as Kapralik returns to the club for less than what we sold him for, and we also got money back as part of a sellon :D Oswald also joins permanently after a loan spell a few seasons ago, we lost out to Mainz on buying him last season but we have him now.

A lot of green here, and the 10-0 win in the cup is a particular highlight.

We lose a few players I didn't want to lose due to release clauses being met, as a starting CB, WB and ST leave. It's annoying, but we do get money and our transfer policy means players can just step in and replace them. It's a little comforting to note that we made 4.5m profit on it, but they will be missed.

We get off to a strong start in the league, but with our departures we'll see how long that lasts.

It's not the worst group we could've received, we can definitely beat Basel. Salzburg could push for the Europa League as well.

We blow a 2 goal lead against Liverpool, give Wolfsberger their only points so far and then Basel smash us. It wasn't a good month.

On a more positive note, my first two games in charge of Austria went well, with 10 uncapped players named in the squad we beat Croatia and held Spain close.

The league has righted itself, and we sit outright 2nd. In the Champions League two home wins have sent us 3rd, with one game to go. I keep forgetting that the Swiss league is loaded and Basel are a lot stronger as a result.

We head into the winter break tied at the top with Salzburg, and we're playing knockout continental football as Lyon beats Basel.

I think we can scrape past PSV, and Salzburg should beat Frankfurt as well.

There are no easy teams from here, and Sevilla is no different.

A quiet month with only 2 league games, and it's back to being really close for the title between the top 3.

 

 

 

4748b9a1fd5e22819af7e0dcb8bf81e8.png
 

 

We got past Sevilla after an excellent home performance, and we get Nice. We've beaten Lyon, arguably a stronger team, so who knows?

A lot of players left for free this window, but despite that we made a small profit of 1.2m. The loss of Lovergine stings a little, but due to our routine buying there's a replacement ready to step up.

Only Vesely and Sedlacek are good enough to start at this stage, but Hutka, Grahl and Vassallo will all have bench roles.

In one transfer window, we've lost our first, second AND third choice keeper. Luckily our 4th choice one is till pretty good :lol: Off these sales we've made a cool 5.4m and 6.6m overall this window.

A shockingly difficult group, we'll be lucky to get a point :( At least Salzburg could get 3rd.

3 wins in the league and we're back on top, and we're also through to the Europa knockouts again against all my expectations.

It's the time of year where our progress is halved, and it turns into a shootout with Salzburg.

 

 

 

2d056c325136afed6850240073200c07.png
 

 

We ease past Bilbao, which puts us against 6th placed Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin, who got past Chelsea in the previous round. Not sure how to feel about that. On a more positive note, Salzburg also make the last 8 but will likely get flattened by Barcelona.

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: 

So this happened. More than double the xG against the number 2 nation in the world too! Do we dare to dream? Or will this exhaust us?

A transfer window that's produced 10.6m in profit, we say goodbye to St Polten centurions Clarino (106) and Yeboah (120), as well as starting CM Blechschmidt returning home after Schalke met his release clause.

We had our biggest transfer budget to date, but nobody here is good enough to start immediately. Only Noah, Omodu and the returning Gencturk will appear on the bench, and the rest with likely be sent on loans for development.

The only big loss here is starting CB Hutka, as we make an overall loss of 575k on these transfers. But overall the profit was 10m+, so all in all pretty successful.

A few injuries and unavailability lead to two straight losses, but we still stay top. In the Champions League, at least we might get 3rd.

Transfers (Out)

A big sale as starting CB Petr Vesely departs for La Liga for a club record sale. Overall, we made a profit of 9.9m, most of which came from that sale.

We've spent some big money here, most of which is on backended deals obviously, as we start to prepare for a crack at the Champions League knockouts. Of these transfers, Marcato,  Bamonte, Malek, and Ozyurt will start, while Kovacec and Benedetti appear from the bench.

A near flawless preseason, and we jump up to 2nd in the media predictions. We've made significant upgrades to the squad, so I'm hoping we win and win comfortably.

We were absolutely raided this month, losing our starting keeper, striker and libero. But that is the nature of the game, and we'll reinvest our profits, all 8.7m of it. This is why we recruit for every position every preseason, so there's a reliable backup in case this happens.

A slow start in the league, but the good news is that RB Salzburg have had one too.

It's a horrible group if we want to reach the knockouts, but Anderlecht should be taken care of. Salzburg stand a chance to finish 3rd too.

It is funny that both clubs of Salzburg are at the bottom, especially since Austria Salzburg has been the club founded to maintain the legacy of the original club that has been renamed once bought by Red Bull.

I advanced too far past the youth intake to sign them properly, so I had to go back. We drew Eintracht Frankfurt, slightly easier than Dortmund I'd say but still no easy task. We got past them, so it's onto the quarter finals for the 4th consecutive time.
