Lord Of Gluttonous Bastards

I have a very similar situation going on in my Legroñés B save. Going very well in my save in terms of performance, and am top of the league atm. For some reason, I failed the 'top half expectation' six games into the season. Not sure why this is, and I doubt I'll be keeping my job much longer if this keeps up. Star players are pissed off at me for this issue, and I doubt it'll go away now.
