October 2024 Still undefeated in the league as reality hits in the Champions League.

September 2024 We also somehow beat Ajax comfortably, and get our first Champions League point!

August 2024 Transfers (Out) Levante buy our starting CB that we bought for 450k, giving us a nice profit But losing him meant replacing him. Transfers (In) We get off to a dream start in the league, seeing off a tricky first game against Feyenoord before easing through our next two. From a dream start in the league to a nightmare Champions League group. But I'm just thinking of the money, we weren't even supposed to be here this early in the save.

2024 Preseason Transfers (Out) Crystal Palace sign one of our starting CMs, but he's just funding the war effort as we prepare for the Champions League. Transfers (In) Again, most of these fees are to be paid in yearly instalments, but we spent about 4m this transfer window up front. Central Defenders Defensive Midfielder Central Midfielder Striker Weird game against Ludogorets aside, it was a good preseason. The media think our 2nd place last season was a fluke, and I tend to agree with them. However, I think we can still snag a spot in Europe, so that's the aim.

Holy crap, we did it. Champions League football next season in only my 3rd season in charge! Sad to see Heracles fade away in the end there, as the quality of Feyenoord and PSV really shone through. But we will have that 15m+ injection of cash into the club, and will set us up for the next couple of years.

April 2024 2nd place is there for the taking, but we have Ajax and AZ away in our last 3 games. The exciting part is that due to overtaking Portugal the top 2 in the league receive automatic group stage berths. But we can't think about that just yet.

2024 Youth Intake Coen van der Heijden 3A* - Dion Visscher 3B - Danny Smits 3C* Only 3 seasons in, and we already have a player considered promising This is why I started with a low team with facilities to work with!

March 2024 We defeat Heracles, and now we're 3 points clear in 2nd. This is getting scary.

February 2024 From forgetting how to win earlier in the season to now forgetting to lose. We are banging in the goals, and smashed Feyenoord in Rotterdam. 2nd place is now within reach as we have a slight gap to 4th and 5th.

January 2024 We do the double over PSV, and we actually earned it this time!

December 2023 We end the first half of the season in a great spot, but we aren't the real story here. We aren't even in the top 3 biggest stories. The biggest is easily Heracles, who are really pushing Ajax at the top of the table, followed by Heerenveen's exploits, as well as AZ and PSV struggling mid table. We've made some upgrades behind the scenes, so I'm hopeful about this preview.

November 2023 The best month of my tenure so far. We dominated PSV, but they did have a player sent off which allowed us to come from behind, but then thumping wins over Willem II and Vitesse sees us fly up into 7th with the potential to be 5th if we win our game in hand.

October 2023 I thought we'd forgotten how to win, but we turned it around against Zwolle. Then in the cup I was almost proved correct when we needed extra time to beat non-league TEC.

September 2023 Ajax and Heerenveen hand us our first losses of the campaign, and we drop to 10th.

August 2023 An unbeaten start to the season, but it's early days yet.

2023 Preseason Not too many available players better than what we have currently (that we can afford), so we sign Schneller permanently, add a CM who will play WB and bolster the strike force. Goalkeeper Right Wing Back Striker A very good set of friendlies. Predicted 13th, which is where we finished last season, but I'd like to push for top half.

We are safe, and armed with an extra 5 million in prizemoney to strengthen our side for next season. Apart from our mid season capitulation were competitive, and it might be safe to aim for the top half next year.

April 2023 The two big wins against the bottom two teams all but guarantee our survival in the Eredivisie.

2023 Youth Intake Wouter van Halst 2A - Bjorn Mathijsen 2B - Vlatko Valke 2C* A stronger intake than I expected, but again I'm not sure how many of these guys will crack the first team as we rise.

March 2023 The players finally woke up and took advantage of playing at home, but we're not safe yet.

February 2023 We've forgotten how to win, and now we're in serious danger, both from a job and survival standpoint. I have a month to attempt to right the ship or I'm gone.

January 2023 A tough January, but at least we won't play Feyenoord, Ajax or PSV again this season.

December 2022 Just some friendlies, but they were good wins against top tier Belgian sides. I don't think this is a good intake.

October 2022 A busy October before heading into the winter break, and I'm happy with 12th for now.

I know what you mean, I'm not sure what it was but it felt like a bit more of a slog. Hopefully Holland will pique your interest a little more as you said!
