I bet you that was tough!

Improvements Further improvements here which is great!

Gibraltar Eligibility Would love if these young players I bring in all start to change their Nationality to play for Gibraltar! He would definitely be one of the better players in the national team and still with more potential!

Mid Season Review Results Well this is what I will kind of expect moving forward. We should start to dominate from now on the home front. That is even with us having to play 5 home grown players who if this rule wasnt their wouldnt be in the first team at all. League Table Despite winning every single game we are only 5pts clear of the Imps who have only lost to us and drew 1 other game. Pepe Reyes Cup We seem cursed in this super cup. Magpies beat us AGAIN! Europa League Well some great results here. We were actually the better team at hearts before stealing an amazing point at Bilbao despite being battered. A win at home to Dinamo and Glentoran means we have 7pts from 6 games which is great but 2 tough games to finish off means I think we will finish just outside the knockout round spots. This is unexpected but we are going great thus far! Transfers Out Dimitriou threw the head up when I turned down an offer from QPR. So ended up selling him for a very nominal fee. The other 3 I couldnt fit into our CL/Europa League squads and became unhappy so where sold on. In Some solid additions in here as well as adding a few more slightly better Gibraltarian players. I have also signed some more 18 year olds who if they stay for 3 years will become home grown. Player Review - Joe Trevino One of our best signings in the summer. He will become home grown and has slotted in brilliantly so far. He has 17 goals and 6 assists in just 21 games! Home Grown Players We currently have 7 players who are home grown in our first team. Out of these I dont think any would start if the rule wasnt in place. Torrilla, Britto, Caull and Coombes can do a job but the others are 2 star players at this level. We have 9 players who will become home grown in our first team. Ramirez became unhappy as I had to drop him from the Europa league squad. I am going to play him in the league in the hope he becomes happy again. Gyamfi becomes home grown this summer and he has much better CA/PA than the current home grown players. Next season 4 more will become home grown which will really help us! Gibraltar In Europe Magpies 2 tight games against my local side in real life! St Josephs Nice to see them go through 1 round. Unfortunately the draw wasnt kind and they managed to keep it respectable against Sporting! Europa FC Disappointing here in what was an easily winnable tie. I feel that if the Imps had managed to finish in top 4 they would have got past here!

Improvement

Europe Champions League We managed to get through 2 rounds this year including an astonishing game away at Astana! Shakhtar are simply a step too far for us currently although an impressive draw on the 2nd leg! Europa League Well we are entertaining arent we? Two 6-3 wins means for a 2nd year in a row we will be playing European football!

Improvements A few more improvements here!

Improvement

End Of Season Review Results Whilst we struggled in December we bounced back after some new signings and won every game in the league in the 2nd half of the season! League Table It ended up being a comfortable win for us in the end after a dodgy December! Rock Cup We make it a double with a cup win. A trio of 3-1 wins means we lift the Rock Cup! Champions League Well we managed to score at both St James's Park and Anfield! What a moment for the club even if we didnt pick any points up! Transfers In We managed to bring in 2 Gibraltarian players which improved our home grown players ability. The others I tried to start bringing in some 18 year olds who would become home grown in nation as well as some other players to improve the squad. This in turn really helped us in the back end of the season! Out Was never going to get game time so Nino left on a free! Player Of The Season - Michael Negrette Despite me trying to move him out of his home grown spot by signing Coombes somehow he just keeps performing. 8 goals and 16 assists in 19 (17) appearances is a great season! Young Player Of The Season - Lucas Ramirez The main reason we managed to get into the Champions League league stage. That alone was enough to win this award! Gibraltar Coefficients We have moved up a further 11 places. Thats 18 spots in 2 years which is great for us.

Improvements We finally get the board to agree with youth recruitment improvement!

Mid-Season Review Results A great start followed by an almighty struggle in December. Injuries and suspensions really affected us here especially when it was for the better home grown in nation players! League Table We sit top but have struggled in the last month or so. The lack of quality home grown in nation players is really hurting us currently. I am off scouring the lands for improvements in these areas. Pepe Reyes Cup A poor start to the season as we lose in extra time to the Magpies in the Gibraltarian version of the super cup! Champions League As expected we are rock bottom with 6 defeats from 6. We did amazingly briefly hold the lead at St James' Park though! Transfers Out 4 players left. All 4 got some game time last year but with none of them being home grown and younger players brought in last season they were no longer required. In I struggled this summer in bringing players in. A couple of loans to bolster the team along with a free transfer and a small fee for Andrey. My main issue currently is trying to improve those trained in nation players which I wasnt able to do at all during the summer. Player Review - Graeme Torilla One of the home grown players I am currently using mainly at right back. 4 goals and 3 assists in 21 games is a good return. Gibraltar In Europe Lincoln Red Imps It wasnt to be for the Imps this season as they fell at the first stage with a close defeat to Georgian team Torpedo Kutaisi Magpies Magpies lost out comfortably to Georgian side Dinamo Batumi.

Improvements We managed to get them to agree to training facilities! And another improvement in the junior coaching. Unfortunately no joy with youth recruitment yet!

Lets roll with Gibraltarian!

Improvements There was already a few other teams in our league at professional status so it was critical we could get this done as quick as possible. Our request for training facilities was turned down but we managed to convince them on youth facilities! Had to convince them on this but with our need to have 5 home grown in nation players the quicker we get this increased the better. Unfortunately youth recruitment was rejected

Champions League Qualification Well I was not expecting this at all. In fact to show you how ridiculous it is lets have a look at our qualifiers: The first 2 teams in Qarabag and Milsami Orhei we were relatively comfortable and matched them in both legs. Now here is where we "rode our luck". In 3 of the 4 games against FCSB and AIK our new keeper was man of the match including a 10.0 rating away at AIK. This is frankly ridiculous but the money could make a huge difference to this save even though we will get battered in every game. An astonishing turn of events

End Of Season Review Results A really solid 2nd half of the season. Some of the signings which you will see below who came in January really helped us. League Table Well that couldn't have been much tighter! Level on points but a better goal difference and head to head record means we win the league! Rock Cup It wasnt to be as the team we narrowly beat to the title knocked us out in the semi final. January Transfers In We brought in some well needed quality to the team including 2 Gibraltar based players to enable us to better our starting 11! Rian Jamai Graeme Torilla Mirko Marmouget Douglas Santos Dimos Dimitriou Francis Gyamfi Dylan Borge Player Of The Season - Michael Negrette One of the players we had to start due to the 5 home grown player rule. He really stepped up though with 7 goals and 16 assists in 25 (2) games! Young Player Of The Season - Dylan Borge A signing we made in January to replace one of our home grown players up top. A little bit of potential here and he managed to score 9 goals and get 2 assists in only 9 games! Gibraltar Teams In Europe Lincoln Red Imps Well that was unexpected. A team in the group stages! Amazing performance to win 2 of their qualifiers and even managed to nick a point against Brann in the group stages! Magpies Unfortunately out in the first round of qualifiers in the conference league although did manage to pick up a draw in one of the legs. Europa FC Similar story here. Out in the first qualifier to Irish side Derry City. What does that mean in general? A jump of 7 places up in the competition ranking and a jump of 2 places in the European nation coefficients which means we now get another team in the first qualifying round of the conference league!

Yeah could be some time until then! But enjoying it so far. Would love to get some great Gibraltarian regens!

Mid-Season Review Results A great start to our season. 12 games in and we have only lost once. We aren't great at keeping the goals out but we are great at sticking them in. League Table We sit 3pts cleat of the Imps and 5 clear of Mons Calpe! If we could finish anywhere in the European spots it would be great Player Review - Daneo Caroo One of the better signings we have made in pre-season. He has 4 goals and 1 assist in 9 games and is performing well. Finances We are losing a lot of money this season so far (over £150k) so we do need to find a way of making money at some point which I presume would only be through Europe! Youth Intake Preview As expected nothing to look at here!

Transfers In Signed a total of 6 players with a few more scheduled for January. My only mistake was I didn't realise we need 5 players trained in Gibraltar in our starting lineup! So we have a few players starting who are nowhere near up to the task in terms of current ability

The Save With Gibraltar now available to play I have decided to jump into a league I have never done. My aims are to firstly reach the top of the Gibraltar pyramid, then see if I can make any inroads into Europe and potentially get into a group stage. After that I will be aiming to build the nation up! The Club I have decided to go with the present that most men get at Christmas in Lynx! We currently only have

It's back \o/

Debut To Remember Giving some of the younger players a game against Derby in the Carabao Cup. A 4-0 win and a double for Washington!

Transfers Not much additional movement here. Disasi and Maatsen the only real first teamers who have went out for some game time.

The Save With Chelsea going down the route of buying a lot of young players I have decided to try a youth only story with them. I will not be buying any players and will utilise the players coming through the academy only. The Manager

Yeah think I am going to go Norway and try and do a only sign 18 and under save!
