Hi Team,
Very minor one that is inconsequential to actual gameplay, once the Austrian League splits into the Championship group points are halved.
However the analysts report on my xPoints then can never be that high if you take this into account winning every game, maximum points you can actual earn come the end of the season is 60 but my xPoints was 81.8 so achieving 55 looks like an underperformance based on incorrect calculation
One for the new game but low priority
Let me know if there is a flaw in my logic or you need the file

ACN Siena 1904 Season 2042/43 Review
Highest ever finish (6th) and record points haul and a season in Europe again to look forward to next year, but why does it feel so glum? Easy we were in the top 3 and with the leading pack for from Matchweek 4 - Matchweek 24 before the wheels started to fall off. Sad times. What spurred us into contention from perennial European contention was a return to form for the star man Alessandro Mari 37D* best prospect we've had thus far by a country mile, however he has a strike partner now in Giacomo Dianda 40B who will give him a run for that title after his 19 G/A contribution in 32 games at 18 in his debut season in the first team. Mari should have won the golden boot which would have made up for us falling out of the title race, but he got a season ending injury start of May so missed the running and was pipped to the golden boot by a single goal. All in all I will celebrate a great year, but this has just lit the fire in me. Big success is coming soon.
Training facilities have been downgraded and the board refused to upgrade straight away meaning we might go a year before we are back to state of the art but we will push for that at the next possible opportunity
Interesting intake this year 2 of 3 best talents both play the same position so only one will be able to really excel you would think, but also another handy CB coming through to add to the depth. With our longest running regen Daniele Ripa 25A* coming to the tail end at 34 our new 16 year old will come in very handy very soon you'd imagine
5 job offers this year one from Lazio and the other 4 international with it being another tournament year

ACN Siena 1904 Season 2041/42 Review
We finished 8th in the league tied for our 2nd best ever finish, but it feels like an L because with 3 games to go we had the opportunity to finish 6th and qualify automatically for the Europa League group stages but alas we failed and our Euro adventures will have to wait. In our maiden European campaign we came up against Porto in the 4th Qualifying Round and as expected got beaten sad times. In truth nothing to really shout about except we are a comfortable mid table team in the league now and we have enough bank to afford to finance a new stadium with out even flinching.
The new stadium is only going to be 23k seater but it is an upgrade, the super stadium named after myself is still away off but something to aspire to
In terms of new youth the quality is slowly declining as the team improves only one 5 Star prospect came into the academy this year, but its always the ones you least expect that come through and shine see Alessandro Mari 37D* (5th best player from his initial intake)
Two job offers this year one from the team that beat me in the European Conference League so of course I rejected that one with the most speed

ACN Siena 1904 Season 2040/41 Review
Our 20th season in charge here at Siena and a great one for me and the boys. We not only remained in Serie A, but we qualified for Europe for the first time and also had a nice cup run to the semi finals of the Coppa Italia. A 7th place finish will see us play in the Europa Conference League next year and confirm Siena's best ever finish in the league. The only downside is the crown jewel in our treasure chest Alessandro Mari 37D* had a 3rd season slump only scoring 10 goals this year but at 20 years old you can't get too angry he will be a star. Also Daniele Ripa 25A* became the all time league appearance record holder considering the academy was only adequate when he came in, its a great effort.
We had a minor bump in the road that we had to re-upgrade both the training and youth facilities at the club, but with the bank we have been able to build up by our consecutive seasons in Serie A the board were more than agreeable to the investment back into the club
Which takes us nicely to the fact we have a new board, our 4th now I believe. So this summer we will have to hash out a brand new club vision. Here's hoping they believe in youth development otherwise this could get really sticky.
This was a European Championship Year so I actually got quite a few international job offers from all the teams who underperformed versus expectations, including one from Italy my country of work. National acclaim. Love it.

ACN Siena 1904 Season 2039/40 Review
Our best season to date. We managed to stave off relegation and finish 8th in the table falling just a couple points short of a European places finish. The man we discovered and unleashed last year Alessandro Mari 37D* proved his worth in the big times finishing with 22 goals in 36 games in all competitions at the tender age of 19, landing him 3rd in the Serie A top goal scorer standings. Now valued at £15.5m. I hope the wolves don't come circling. I think 1-0 to the Siena sums up the season perfectly with 55% of our victories being hard fought 1-0 victories with 40% of those games being a Mari solo goal game. The only thing which probably prevented us finishing in Europe was Mari picking up an injury that ruled him out of the last 2 games.
The youth intake has again been decent this year 3 potential 5-Star talents including a RB/RWB which I need a star to come through in and also in the attacking midfield which always helps.
Facilities still best in the world and the board have added build a new stadium to the 5 year plan which I am hoping gets named after me, but I'm not yet the top club legend so not sure if it will be yet
I got one job offer this year and it was a very random one. International from the Rep. of Ireland. Go Figure

ACN Siena 1904 Season 2038/39 Review
We are back in the big time boys and I couldn't be prouder, this time around we put on a mid season surge and although we stuttered over the line losing the title to one of my former U20s coaches it was still a very successful season. The main catalyst that sparked the run was the top scorer Mari 37D* he is an absolute star and now comfortably the best player in my team. He was mainly on the bench to start the year as I have two similar position players I wanted to split time so as not to wear them out, but as soon as he came in for his half of the year it was sensational. 18 goals in 20 games and 4 assists to boot. WHAT A LAD. Not sure we have enough to stay up next year but if Mari 37D* continues on this pace we will give it a strong showing.
The youth intake has again been decent this year 3 potential 5-Star talents including a goalkeeper which is good as we are coming to the end of Yari Colombini 25B cycle, he's now 29 and yes he has maybe another 5/6 as a Goalkeeper, but hopefully the new kid will be ready at about 20/21 to start. We also picked up a decent 3.5 star RB who can hopefully push on as it is my only area of slight concern
No facilities updates, aware that they will go down at some point when the dreaded 'advancements' come but we will hopefully have the funds to invest when that day comes
No job offers this year

ACN Siena 1904 Season 2037/38 Review
Another season disconnected, started earlier in the month but life and work has gotten in the way of real progress until yesterday. I finished out another season in Serie B in which we faded away toward the end from our promotion charge. We always seem to struggle in the latter half of the year.
The youth intake has again been labelled golden generation and with as many as 5 potential 5-Star talents the future looks bright. Most positions are covered, the only problem area is RB in which I sold the best talent who was almost ready to break through to Ajax but we still have Latini 29A for a good while to cover that area
The facilities have been perfected which is delightful to see and I expect the carousel of talent to be continuing henceforth
I got another job offer from Napoli which I believe must be the 3rd time they have tried to head hunt me which is nice, but so far none of the big 3 in Italy have come knocking. Silverware needed it seems

ACN Siena 1904 Season 2036/37 Review
So I'm writing this a few days after the season has ended so I feel completely disconnected from it, however I know it was a struggle. We got relegated which was expected and is fine, but it was tough getting hammered on almost a weekly basis. I feel like the squad are two years away from being able to compete in Serie A so hopefully we can bounce back and finally solidify in Serie A
The youth intake looks good not quite labelled golden generation but an excellent group of players nonetheless. We have an exciting attacking midfielder who might prompt a change in formation when the time comes to bleed him in.
Our training facilities are on the way to State of the Art. Beautiful. Still waiting on the youth facilities but the board are dragging their feet/the option isn't available to select yet
No job offers thrown my way this year. I believe in my sauce though so I know they'll be back 'another quaalude and they will love me in the morning' - Scarface reference
Hoping with Easter upon us to have time to push forward a few years and really get into the business end of this challenge soon

ACN Siena 1904 Season 2035/36 Review
We're heading back to Serie A, though we did it the very hard way falling off form mid season to knock us out of the title race, before regaining our footing to go up through the playoffs. Serie B is really the pits if you spend too long down here, because you always run at a loss due to the gulf in TV money and no prize money except for the three promoted teams.
Ricardo Farcas our long serving Left Back/Centre Back is retiring so we now have a full squad of nothing but academy players. Proud moment. Also we have been told to whisper it quietly for the 2nd time in three years but we might have another golden generation on our hands.
Our facilities are almost there now, we have reached Excellent in both training facilities and seeing as though great prospects keep being churned out, it is definitely working here's to the next Messi being a product of Siena. Cheers
For the first time in a couple of years I got some job interviews thrown my way which was nice, Napoli being the biggest club to date to offer me an interview

ACN Siena 1904 Season 2034/35 Review
Another great year from the boys in which we defied expectations and finished 6th but unfortunately couldn't find the juice to go up in the playoffs so we will be a Serie B team again next year. We still have a healthy balance so we can cope with a couple more seasons building in Serie B so I'm not too mad at the moment. Things are very rosy heading into our 15th year we are on track. Also late but we got the tag of overachiever in last years Serie A relegation, not sure how but i'll take it.
So in the first season of full youth we had no trouble coping which was delightful, in addition to this both the U18s & U20s are firing on all cylinders which means this Golden Generation may be the truth in which case the future looks bright
We were taken over again for the 2nd time in 15 years and the new board seem keen to splash the cash they have allowed me to upgrade with great regularity which I love, I was able to increase all the facilities as evidenced above which should help mould my current Golden Crop and future Golden Crops to boot

ACN Siena 1904 Season 2033/34 Review
So we are heading back to Serie B as expected, but we put up more of fight than anticipated, we were sent packing on the last day of the season by virtue of head to head record, finishing on the same points as Chievo who pipped me to the Serie B title the year prior. All in all its been a successful season as I was able to secure my financial future for at least the next 5 years thanks to the TV money from my one season in the big time. Fingers crossed for a bounce back next year.
This is it, the season coming will be Farcas' first on the bench as I go full academy and start Christian Rocchi 28G as our new left back. Also looking like a tasty intake this year, we've been told to whisper it quietly but it could be a
Golden Generation.The TV money allowed me to upgrade my facilities for the first time in 9 years and I have enough in the bank to go again next year as we push towards 'State of the Art'
I was finally able to start my last coaching badge and I should have a Pro Licence for the start of next season, and also got another job interview for a Serie A club in Sampdoria still not top tier but my reputation in the game is growing. I also officially became a Club Legend for Siena #Proud

ACN Siena 1904 Season 2032/33 Review
Even the best laid plans go awry. Now you'd be forgiven for assuming this is going to be a negative post based on how it has started, but no I managed to pull a rabbit out of a hat and have an incredible season. Finished 2nd in the league and made it to the Coppa Italia Quarter Final and in doing both of these things I have managed to stabilise the clubs financial position. My only problem is I wanted this is another year or two, the squad I feel is in for a rude awakening in Serie A and I expect to come back down with a record low points tally. This season just gone Padova finished bottom on 8 points. I'm scared we won't even reach that. However we move for now its time to celebrate. Although we could have won the title, but the boys melted in the run in and did just enough to go up automatically still.
Youth Intake has been poor for a little while as the quality in the squad has improved, still getting one potential 5 star a year, but outside of that very slim pickings. I was also contemplating letting Farcas walk as I couldn't justify his wage demands, but with promotion now I will definitely re-sign him meaning at least for one more year we are on 10/11 first teams being academy players. I also moved our former top striker Tartaglia to RW to allow the new generation in Lucarelli to come through which seems to have been a masterstroke with another proven goal scorer on the field I feel we are now scoring more freely
Now that the finances are on track I can begin to build out my staff again to help with development and hopefully build up some back and invest in the facilities because they are still not great.
My managing finances has gone back down and again no job offers this year but now that I am in Serie A I will push again and ask for my final coaching badge.

The boys proved their worth and showed they belonged in Serie B only 4 points off the playoffs but we didn't have enough steam to get over the line. However with a now settled squad my aim is to consolidate for at least another two years then hopefully have a squad strong enough to push for automatic promotion. Again I tried to do my final coaching badge and I was rejected. Sad.
Farcas is still going strong at the age of 31 now and will still be in the team next year so the full youth revolution will still be on pause. For the intake this year I was told this would be a Golden Generation for the first time, but my intake let me down when I looked at it. Shame.
Finances are shocking right now, its tough times and I have had to let some staff go and restructure some contracts its a tough job be we have to stay afloat
My managing finances has gone back up due to my more stringent control but no job offers this year which is interesting maybe they know my loyalty to the cause and Siena

ACN Siena 1904 Season 2030/31 Review
A great season from the boys proving too good for Serie C, we dominated for most of the season but had to hold off a spirited Cesena in 2nd place to win the title on the final day. First piece of silverware for the team secured however and also became a club icon. Our attendance took a very sharp dip however probably all the bandwagon fans leaving after the bad Serie B season but they'll be back. We also managed to go on wonderful cup run to the 1st round of the Coppa Italia including a penalty win over Caligari which is easily the biggest scalp we've taken (got a whacking by Juventus for our troubles in the 1st round though).
Farcas is still going strong at the age of 30 and will still be in the team next year so 10/11 are currently prospects from the youth intakes over the years
Finances still bad, more takeover rumours but nothing on the horizon maybe it comes in Serie B (hopefully)
I got one job offer this year from Serie A which was at Sassuolo, I did not on my profile screen that my managing finances has regressed, I didn't know they could go both ways. Go figure

I'd say Mercenary is neutral with a positive spin, really. They will have great ambition (a key), low loyalty and low to good determination. So Mercenary depends a lot on how good determination is on the player, for me.
I guess in a challenge like this the loyalty is a double edged sword but good knowledge for me to take going forward. Gracias

Farnborough 2026 Youth Intake
What a good looking class. My HoYD downplayed the defenders that he brought into the class but the attackers were as promised.
Just about everyone in the class is from Farnborough. The team DNA average is above seven for the first time. The TMP averages are all the best since this save started. Lots of class players who can compete for first team places up and down the intake.
Not sure what to make of the low self belief personality.
Here's our low self belief personality, he appears to be a good player. Works for the team on the field. Needs some work on his marking and tackling but that's not to be unexpected. Has decent pace for our team...we are painfully slow. Brave and leader. What could cause the low self belief? It has to be something hidden.
A good developmental center back who will spend a year or two playing in the youth squad before getting promoted to the senior team as a more polished player. We are pretty set at the center back position so these guys are just gravy to a deep position.
Grice can play both the left wing and in the center as the center forward. He's a good passer of the ball which will help because we suck at passing. A nice option to develop in the youth team for a season or two.
A passing right-back who can defend but doesn't see the field well. What he makes for in lack of pace, he makes up for in smarts. I can work with a smart player and hopefully turn around that Temperamental personality.
Sewell can play on both the right side and in the middle of an attacking line. He gives me a lot of options in terms of swapping players around the line and creating mismatches depending on the opponent. Likes to get the ball and bring it up the field himself which should us in creating counter attacking chances.
I thought 'Mercenary' was also a poor personality trait interesting you have it in green, what's the thinking if I may ask?

ACN Siena 1904 Season 2029/30 Review
The cold hard sting of relegation. 20th looks worse than it is because we only got relegated officially on the 2nd to last game of the season. What hurt us was it took us 13 games to get our first win on the board starting out 0-2-11 to a season is a recipe for disaster. We just didn't have enough quality our young bucks were too green. The board however still love me so the project continues and our goal for next year is to bounce back up, but they only expect us to avoid Serie C relegation so should still maintain my job. Only two key players have asked to leave following relegation and I have named a decent price for them although they only agreed to a smidge over their values but I feel no team will be in for them so fingers crossed.
I made a mistake last update my left back and goalkeeper were the last two non-regens, but this year it will just be the left back as half way through I said it makes sense to star the young goalkeeper when I knew we were down to prepare him for this year. Smart move as he impressed and will now be key for my bounce back aim
Again there rumours this year but nothing materialised. Finances are still bad, maybe I leveraged too early with all the upgrades.
No job offers this year and I was refused my final coaching badge the board don't respect me it seems their long serving manager going into my decade year. Shake my head

They say 3rd time is a charm, and on our 3rd visit to the playoffs we managed to win the whole damn thing in Serie C it's almost a whole new cup competition with 3 rounds, Quarters, Semis and a Final. But we got promoted to Serie B and now the fight to battle against the 4 relegation places begins.
The last lines of defence from the old guard are on their last legs, only my Goalkeeper is still a starter but his decline means this is probably his last season starting and the new Youth prospect is ready and waiting to go.
There were a load of internal takeover rumours this year but nothing materialised, perhaps it will next year but let's watch this space. Finances are still struggling a little.
This year I got 2 job interview offers, including my first from Serie A! It's nice to know you're wanted. Also maxed out everything except reputation on the manager profile screen

Nothing like a good cup run to keep you up beat! We made it to the Serie C Cup semi finals in an incredible run, and also managed to make the playoffs again whilst equalling a season high finish for me with the team. Still struggle with cold spells at times but again good early season form gave us a platform to build on.
The Youth revolution has continued as most of the old guard are winding down only 5 non intake players remain in the first team set up, and 2 will be leaving on a free this summer
First major sale happened this year in Jan raking in a massive £100k, board accepted on my behalf because we were in dire financial position but I will miss Cecchini 24A
Due to the finances the old board decided to sell up and we got a new board in who cleared the debt but with a bank loan, so I have 12 years of debt to deal with but I guess on a much more manageable scale
This year I got 5 job interview offers, including Nott Forest twice! They must really want me

It's been a while since the last update and in my defence I had another save I was really enjoying, however I am back on the bandwagon even though my team is frustrating the hell out of me. We hit a really bad run of form toward the end of the year, but some good form in the beginning helped see us through over the magic number of 40 points.
We went full youth this year and let a few prominent members of past squads go and a few retired and as such this is the first year we see the Key Players include intake players. Also found a gem in the reserves I had neglected as his early potential wasn't great but he had filled out playing for the U20s and is now one of my best central midfielders
Financially the team is in real trouble, not quite sure where we are haemorrhaging money but the board has had to inject cash into the coffers twice this season and we still have a negative balance
My reputation is improving and as such I was offered 3 roles again this season two in England and 1 in Italy. I also had my 3rd member of staff poached for a Management position, which I personally love, I love seeing my coaching tree go on to further success I then replace them and hope to restart the cycle (NFL Coaching mindset)

It's season five and we solidified our status in the league once again quite comfortably, but this time we were a few points off the playoffs. Financially we are still struggling and I think one more year is needed before we can begin to reinvest in the facilities. The squad is dire need of the new guard, the old faithful are no longer as trusty as they once were. I will be letting some leave for free in the summer. FULL YOUTH REVOLUTION. Also changed the skin this season.

Season number four and we made the playoffs. Score one for the team, but we got our asses spanked in the first round so no promotion for the team. The team is a lot more settled now and the youth have started playing more important roles in the team which is really helpful. One thing I have experimented with this season is my forcing my centre back prospects to play full back, as I was struggling to get them game time otherwise. Worked a treat as the best prospect from the first intake is now ready to start at centre back next year.

This season was a season of runs, we managed to maintain our position in the league yet again, however we dropped a few places. We went on 2 losing streaks of 10+ games but also a winning streak of 6 games in the middle which really helped save us. All the upgrades have us in a little bit of financial trouble, so we will be cooling off for the next year to build up the coffers again.
