Season 6 - 2028/2029 Season Compared to previous seasons, I haven't made many changes. Critchley left his job with us as U21 manager again so I brought in Darren Moore to replace. A few in and outs. Still looking at bringing in some youth players. Not much has changed this season. I feel bad as i've listed Tietz even though his record his great for us and van Hooijdonk is playing his football in Italty on loan this season. The squad currently: It's a big squad compared to previous seasons. Tietz is listed to go out on loan or for money, Pitchford is new here but will be going to Belgium to play for Genk for a season. Also in: Also out: Gamal, Juliao and Becerra wanted new contracts so alot of wage has gone there. McAtee had already been replaced by my January singing Boxall and I'm looking at bringing in a youth player to replace Berge. My starting midfield is DM - Gamal, CMs - Gray and Miley Backup DM - Watson - CMs Boxall and Juliao I have CBs that can fill in at DM so Watson if need can fill in at CM. Samson was never going to make it here, he's all pace and that's not our game so I brought in Pitchford to replace. Flores and Hojlund replace Tietz and van Hooijdonk. Hojlund has always played well against me, I noticed Utd were happy to let him go so I thought I'd give him a try. Lopez, Gyokeres and Hojlund is a very solid attacking line, especially with new signing Flores pushing, and Chida still needing to play, I did want him homegrown but I might loan him out. I would have loved to have sold Ekdal and replaced with a better CB but no one wants Ekdal and without him leaving, I can't replace. The new players: Pitchford has potential, he played well on his 6 month league one spell at Plymouth but Sheff Utd had been relegated and his min fee was still active so I activated it and I'm going to let him play abroad for a season. I will train Flores into a Pressing Forward! I just think he looks very very good and still has potential and he's only 18! Hojlund is the type of striker that I want here and hoping he can make an impact. I'm still looking at youth to bring in. There's an amazing English DM at Sunderland but at 17 he doesn't want to move, the 17 year old Stoke striker still doesn't want to move. Birmingham have a 16 year old Welsh keeper that is capped already, fully capped. Right now I'm looking at a MC from Denmark and a young French CB from the English lower leagues. Problem with the CB for me is that I'd of liked to buy him and make it trained at club but at 18 and already 40+ games in league one, he needs to be out playing. It's the same with bringing in Tipple, my scouts love him. I just feel can he really improve enough? I know he's only 17 but he'd need to improve ALOT. Our backroom staff for a club our size is brilliant, I didn't need to make changes this season at all. I have one space still to bring in a better coach, I'd still like to bring in who's higher than 4* in either Defending - Tech, Possession - Tech or Attacking - Tact. It's just not that easy . Maybe a better Handling GK coach. Turns out I have space for a Physio, I'll get on that one! Hold on a second, I missed out the announcement I can have 6 more scouts and another recruitment analyst . Our reputation in the world has improved atleast. Being around the same level as clubs such as Ajax, Sevilla and Roma shows how far we've come. And we're bringing in more money. Shame it's not until 2032 I can ask for a new stadium and tbh, I'd like to bring in more success so they name it after me . Season Start Hopefully we can get revenge on Chelsea for the FA Cup final but it's a tough start away at Leicester.

I'm very much if I sell a player, then I can buy a player for around same money. Sometimes I'll treat myself to a good player which I have done this season but I prefer to bring in youth, I have my scouts out looking but it's been a quiet window in reality compared to the last couple of seasons. There's a pretty good CB listed, £61mil, no thanks. I did offer Kimminch 250k a week to come play for us but he chose Chelsea .

End of Season Brilliant season overall. Shame about the FA Cup final and the Champions League exit though Inter are in the final against Real. Keep is going, brilliant League campaign, couple of areas we could strengthen but it's hard to say let's bring in a DM when Watson has played all 38 games for us. I reckon we could bring in better CBs, we'll see. I do have a 20 year old English striker coming in as I plan to ship out the two youngsters I've brought in as they don't fit my playing style. It's hard to bring in CBs to fit the mould when we've done this. Miley was robbed!

FA Cup Final Attempt #2 Greaves and Ekdal both have knocks and are on the bench. Last time we played Chelsea it was a Tim Ronning masterclass on how to be a goalkeeper. Can we find a way through? Can I win my FA Cup on my 2nd attempt in a final? The plus, Gyokeres and Lopez have been on fire this month, hope they can continue their form into this game. The minus, Greaves is our captain and Ekdal is our vice and neither are on the pitch. Chelsea kick off. 1st minute: Ferguson kicks off to Gallagher, he plays it out wide and Brown clear. 9th minute: Arrey-Mbi to Gray, out to Holm who plays it back to Gray, Chelsea have numbers in the box so it's back out to Watson, DEFLECTION AND A HALF, WE'RE 1 - 0 UP. WHAT. Watson hit a shot, it's got a deflection and confused Ronning!!! 12th minute: Schuurs goes for the early cross but Ronning collects, he throws out to Hincapie to Gallagher who is robbed. It's with Gyokeres, back to Holm, back to Gyokeres, across but it's tight and Lopez heads over. 16th minute: Brown, back to Arrey-Mbi, we're passing around the back. It's Holm, Gray, Schuurs, Watson long shot and what a save from Ronning! We have a corner, Miley in, headed out, Miley again and we play it back and keep possession. 21st minute: We have it round the back, Holm tries a chipped pass but Enzo heads it down, Watson steals it, plays to Miley who threads through to Gray! It's in but I think he's JUST offside. Is he? Yep, still 1 - 0. Half time, Watson is the difference. Second half. We kick off Chelsea are making a number of subs between the 50 - 60th mark. Can Wahi make a difference? 64th minute: Lopez swings in the corner, it's headed out, we still have, Arrey-Mbi with the strike and that's a cracking save! Another corner, it's headed at goal and saved. 70th minute: Good passing from Chelsea, Wahi is through but it hits it over! That probably should have been the equaliser! 72nd minute: Chelsea corner, it's in and Fofana does equalise. We need to make some subs. The old guard in Tietz and van Hooijdonk are coming on, Berge and Juliao are also coming on. 75th minute: James freekick and it forces a save from Kovar, it's a corner, it's swung in but we head out and clear. 81st minute: Van Hooijdonk hits a freekick straight at the wall, Berge has it, down the right but it's cut out, Holm now, he goes the same, back to Schuurs and we have a throw in. 84th minute: Brown hits in the freekick but Chelsea clear back to Brown. He dribbles down the left and crosses but Juliao who is not the right person to be crossing too is trying to get on the end of it, it drops, there's confusion and he hits it but it's the post! Chelsea clear for a Rotherham throw. 86th minute: Kossounou massively underhits a freekick and James steals, thankfully Kossounou deals with the ball in and Kovar takes. We have it down the right, Holm, Berge, blocked for a corner. Watson hits the corner in, Tietz flicks it and Ronning catches. Gamal is replacing Holm, he's too tired now. It's going to ET. Becerra is coming on for Brown. First half HT. Chelsea kick off. 90th minute: Passing round the back, Chelsea hit it long, Wahl has it but van Hooijdonk presses and wins it back. 95th minute: What the heck was that. van Hooijdonk has a freekick on edge of the box, he passes it to Watson, Watson passes it 40 yards back to Gamal from their penalty area. Gamal down the right, back, Juliao shoots, forces a corner. Watson in, headed out, Berge, to Schuurs, Juliao piledriver and it's a good save from Ronning. Watson corner, flicked on, headed out, back in, headed out, throw in. Watson takes, with Berge, Arrey-Mbi shoots, saved. 97th minute: From that Ronning kicks it long, we have it back, it's passing quick, van Hooijdonk shoots and it's another corner. We have to make this pressure pay! Watson takes, headed out, back in, out again and Chelsea are on the break, Gamal stops them. 103rd minute: James throws it in, passed back, crosses and Kovar takes, he kicks it long, they had out, Watson has it, back to Schuurs, out left with Beccara, he shoots, another corner. Watson in, flicked on, headed out for a corner, Watson again, we win the throw in. It's half time in ET. Surely we deserve that goal! We kick off. 105th minute: We're passing round, Gamal breaks down the right and we win the throw. Watson in, Schuurs, Watson, Becerra hits, it's blocked, Gamal in, corner. COME ON MILLERS. LET'S WIN THAT FA CUP. 111th minute: James throws in to Lavia, in and Gamal clears, Tietz collects, loses out to Renatdo Sanches, plays it down the left to Cucurella, he crosses, we head out and break. Juliao to Berge. Chelsea deny van Hooijdonk, long ball over and Wahi is onside! Kovar denies him easily though. It's pens. We're very good in a shootout but I'm nervy. Chelsea take the first pen which I'd rather be doing. Enzo steps up.... cooly hit in. van Hooijdonk steps up... saved. That was so so so poor! Wahi steps up... nice pen. Tietz this time... in! James for Chelsea... sends keeper the wrong way. Berge for Rotherham... smashes it in! That's a pen! Sanches for Chelsea... good pen, keeper couldn't get. It's down to Juliao to keep it alive... it's in! Kovar or Caicdeo.... do Chelsea win on pens.... they do.... 0/2 for FA Cups finals now .

April Champions!!! We had the best chances against Chelsea but Ronning was superb in net, he once conceded 6 goals in 6 shots against us, this time he was MOTM with an 8.1 rating. We were 2 - 0 up against Manchester United thanks to a Juliao brace until a fluke own goal from van den Berg saw them pull one back before the break. Wan-Bissaka then equalised after 66 minutes after scoring a shot from outside the box. Tietz came on and headed home Lopez's corner to make it 3 - 2! Big win! Schuurs scored his first Rotherham goal against Brighton. A free kick has come on from Brown, someone has got the better of Juliao but it's just meant the balls rolled nicely to Schuurs to hit in and that was game over. West Ham were really good, Zouma gave them the lead, heading home Ward-Prowse's corner after 36 minutes but it was a second half brace from Gyokeres that saw us take all 3 points home. Leicester iirc just came on this season and they look class, Brown scored within the first minute but a solo goal from their left back Luke Thomas saw them equalise after 11. Both teams were fighting for it and had chances but it was super sub Juliao being played through by another sub Tietz that saw us take the lead. To win us the prem, van Hooijdonk hit in an 88 minutes freekick that came crashing off the bar! "Quadruple" Two in a row! Miley hasn't had the best month but Juliao has been solid. FA Cup I thought we'd won it being 2 - 0 up but Liverpool never stopped! Watch this goal from Juliao!!! What a volley! We face Chelsea in the final Champions League We were well beaten, Berge didn't make it any better and Schuurs came on to replace Ekdal as he was having a shocker and then Sterling outdid him to make it 3. The best team i've played on this save by a mile. They had 1 shot on target but Kovar couldn't do much to save it. We had chances but Inter are solid. Can't complain, getting to the quarter final of the Champions League in my first attempt is great and Inter were class. Initial Budget I guess I can improve at RCB and DM but the idea of spending 50+mil on a player is not my style . Next Month It's all about that FA Cup, a second I played in 2023/2024 but lost to Manchester City.

Surely we can't mess this up?

March Keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'. Love beating Everton, they're very competitive against us. Over the years we've played 9 times, we've won 5 and they've won 4. So to win 4 - 1 was brilliant. van Hooijdonk scored a good long shot into an open net after a mistake at the back to give us the lead after 18 minutes and a brilliant strike, Evertons only shot on target from de la Vega, saw them equalise before the break. After it was all up, Miley scoring, then setting up Juliao and to finish Lopez headed in his first Rotherham league goal to make it 4 after 87 minutes. We were 2 - 0 down to Arsenal, Lopez and Gyokeres have honestly felt like poor signings and Tietz and van Hooijdonk still do a beter job as they came on, Tietz scored from a Watson long throw after 80 minutes and van Hooijdonk was set up by a brilliant bit of play in the 84th minute to pull it back to 2 - 2. 7 clear with 7 to go. Miley only played one game due to injury but his fourth young player of the month in a row and his sixth of the season. FA Cup Tight game but the home advantage seemed to be the difference. We know we can beat Liverpool. Champions League Much better at home, some of the goals are in the post above. That's a very very hard draw . NxGN Shame I haven't been keeping an eye on my mentoring group as Gamal has dropped determination slightly but he looks like a heck of a player. I bring him on to play RWB or DM, depending on what I need. Youth intake A Pressing Forward!? . Love we have a player called "Ash Ash" . Looks very good! We need to work on his work rate! International Duty Samson is playing for Nigeria and I've barely give him time here. He popped up with a goal on his 2nd cap. Juliao I do play so it's nice to see him capped. My FA Cup scorer got his first for Japan. Next Month Alot of games, difficult games. See what us Millers can do!

Champions League Quality Goals Well, this one wasn't, Greaves lost the ball, they shoot, it hits the post, into Kovars back and in . I thought I was gonna lose after that. Neither was this! We equalised through a huge mistake at the back from Ajax. To finish off our 3 - 1 victory (Lopez headed in to make it 2). Juliao did score an absolutely brilliant strike. Pure quality.

February Another great month! Greaves gave us the lead against Spurs after just 6 minutes with a brilliant strike, he loves popping up with a good goal. Kossounou headed in Mileys corner to make it 2 after 30 minutes and that was it. Spurs were very poor, they had a 0.26xG. We were all over Fulham but they defended very well, the breakthrough came through Holm, we swung in the corner and it's headed out, quick passing round and Holm smashes in, a good team goal after 52 minutes. I thought we were gonna draw, we had a 2.55xG but Fulham were very good at the back. Another bore draw against City, we love 'em. Foden gave them the lead through a curling shot after 12 minutes, Gyokeres finished Mileys through ball after 13 minutes and that was that. Good point. Miley gave us the lead against Wolves after just 15 minutes with a good volley but with Wolves' pretty much only good chance of the game when Guedes crossed for Silva we saw the scores level after 30 minutes. Holm was just onside after the ball found him at the back post after 54 minutes and Holm set up Miley for his brace after 36 minutes. Still at the summit and we're playing very well. Of course it's Miley, he's brilliant. FA Cup I put a good enough side out but we could not break them down and get ourselves the lead, Chida came off the bench and later scored a very very good strike. We should have done better with the team that were out. I do like a home draw! Think we can win this. Champions League I have no clue how this one will go, hopefully we can win over the two legs. Next Month Let's keep the run going!

Thank you for reading . Yeah when I saw my potential take over wanting to put millions into the club I was like, nice! Then I saw that he'd pulled out and Dai had taken over and was like, oh dear is it going to work? Thankfully it's a game and he's been brilliant .

January Considering the injuries, suspensions(we'll get to that in a minute) and tiredness, this is an amazing month. We've had 6 players out at once put, Kovar is currently out after fracturing his arm against Atletico, it's been a proper fighting spirit. Brilliant against Bournemouth, Tietz put us ahead after 22 minutes but Cook equalised just a minute later. A van Hooijdonk brace and Tietz getting his hat-trick, we were lethal. A very tight game against Newcastle came down to Tietz heading in Browns cross just before the break. So we lost to bottom of the league, we got 2 red cards, Juliao after 4 minutes and van Hooijdonk just before the break and 3 injuries during the game. After all the pressure, Calvert-Lewis scored the winner after the 81st minute. A great win against leads considering Tietz also went off injured just minutes in and I've had to play some of my 18 year olds. Gray scored against his old club for all 3 points. Tired players, I set up to defend and try and steal a goal. Watson scored a beauty after 50 minutes for all 3 points. Iversen was solid in net. At the summit after 2 hard months. Miley is class. FA Cup Played some youngsters and it didn't work out very well, glad we got the victory in the end after making some subs. Solid. Nice draw for us to go further in the competition. Champions League Amazing win! So glad we only needed a draw. Their equaliser came from an absolute dross freekick from Greaves. I can't believe what I watched. Deadline Day We had bids and I replaced with better players. Weiper I just wasn't the biggest fan of, Riedel had a mistake in him and Murray-Campbell wasn't good enough. In: Out: The new faces. Replaces Murray-Campbell. van den Berg is homegrown and a solid rotation player, he's done well so far. Schuurs fits my squad, can fill in at DM but he's very much my type of player, when I saw him listed I went in. Had Lopez scouted for some time and I wasn't sure because he's not a fan of big matches but he's a good finisher, good in the air, consistent performer, good scoring record in Brazil and is now an interntional. For 16mil he should be a great purchase, especially for the "next level" player I'd need to spend 50mil+ which we do not have. My scouts told me about Boxall but when I saw on deadline day teams like Man Utd had interest, I paid his min. fee and let him play for Reading for the rest of the season as he's played all but 1 game for them. Future Mezzala-Attack for me. Next Month Hopefully keep this brilliant form going.

December What a month! Beating United and then the character we've shown after the Brighton loss! It was such a close game against Manchester United but considering I'd started with my youth RB and 2 of my squad rotation CBs, it was a huge win. Miley put us ahead after 25 minutes after heading in a brilliant curled cross from Juliao and van Hooijdonk played through Tietz, who still had alot to do, dribbling towards goal and putting us 2 ahead after 42 minutes. It got nervy at the end where Hojlund, who always seem to create or score against us late on played a brillian tball through to Schlager to pull one back but we held on! Brighton took the lead after just 4 minutes after Vanderson played through Buoanaotte who span and slotted home. Greaves equalised after 50 minutes heading in a corner but then it all fell apart. A huge huge mistake from Brown saw Brighton counter and Karabec put them 2 up after 53 minutes, Holbjerg scored a "long range placed shot" according to the article after, he scored an absolutely HUGE deflection, not along Kovar could do after 79 minutes but Brighton scored a good team goal through Mazilu after 95 minutes. After the Anderlecht game where we had so much of the ball, so many chances but struggled to score I changed a couple of roles and it worked against West Ham, 24 shots, 11 on target. Gyokeres put us ahead after 14 minutes and Juliao doubled after 61, much better. Easy against Villa, the team who were flying high at the start, picked up 1 point in December. Miley scoring after 9 minutes and Tietz scoring a brace. Leicester were brilliant, it was such a tough game but we created better chances in the end. Greaves put us ahead after 38 minutes, dribbling into the box and placing low, proper nice goal from a CB! Dina Ebimbe equalised just after the break with a good long shot. Tietz had the chance to put us ahead but his penalty was well saved, van Hooijdonk came on and changed the game, scoring himself and setting up Juliao to give us a 3 - 1 lead after 82 minutes. A lucky deflection saw Daka in space to hit in after 84 minutes to give Leicester a chance but we held on for another win! We were absolutely brilliant against Forest. Gray gave us the lead after 34 minutes and Greaves doubled before the break. van Hooijdonk had set Gray up earlier in the game, this time Gray set up van Hooijdonk to make it 3 after 83 minutes. Great win. We battered Southampton in the first half, we were 3 - 0 up and they'd had no shots. Gyokeres scoring a brace and Miley getting on the scoresheet. They came out the second half looking much better, Maehle hit a good strike to pull one back and Ortiz was found by a quality long ball from Bednarek down the right where hes beating the charging out Kovar to make it 2. van Hooijdonk scored to make it 4 to Rotherham and seal the victory. It's a 2 man race at the moment for top spot. And I've offered Miley more money to get rid of his 49mil min. fee which he's accepted. Miley and Gray will win us the Champions League at some point . Not sure why it says 100% win? Guess it means from the last 5? Champions League Glad we finally got our deserved goal. Vyver was brilliant until his mistake. Youth intake Hopefully the wingers can play as wingbacks but the DM sounds good! Could be interesting. Facilities Upgrade Dai Yongge has the clubs best interest in my save atleast. Next Month Keep the good times going, we're playing some fantastic football. I have alot of Saudi clubs interested in my players, I would cash in on some, I'd love to cash in on one of my players but sadly no one wants him .

November Not the best month. We were lucky against Everton, our LB who's out top scorer in the league in Archie Brown headed home the only game of the game to take home all 3 points. A good draw against Arsenal but we were the better side and hit the woodwork twice! Ramsdale was MOTM. Chelsea were the better side but it was an outside the box strike that gave them the lead. A real good hit by Endo Fernandez. We had a good chance to equalise at the end bu Gyokeres hit over. Chelsea deserved their win, we had to sub our RWB, LWB and LCB through injury throughout the game and thanks to AFCON we had no Gamal or Kossounou, we struggled. Kovar was brilliant. Our first loss and I'll be very happy if we make Champs League this season. My strikers are struggling. FA Cup Draw Champions League Cracking win, van Hooijdonk was great. Not the best at the back. Can tell when we have to rotate. International Debut Played for Colombia before he played for us . Next Month That's a mental month! We have injuries, a key CB away at AFCON, my rotating DM/RWB away at AFCON. We're gonna struggle.

October Good enough month I guess. We have had injuries, suspensions and tired players. Tietz gave us the lead against Fulham after a brilliant run from Edkal who squared it to find Tietz after 28 minutes. Fulham equalised through Toklomati after 57 minutes and that was that, it was a very even game, even with us at home. It was an absolute bore draw against Man City, a game to forget. A much better game against Wolves as my left back Brown and CM Miley got a brace each. We're top and undefeated. Just 4 draws in 10 games is a bit too many . Watson Scores Carabao Cup We're out of the Carabao Cup, we had to rotate, they played their first team and we just could not match them. Champions League Bore draw, I'll take that! Next Month That's such a tough month, we need to keep picking up points in the Champions League but can't drop points in the league, we have to play through tiredness. Guess I'll try my best.

September (I have some friendly games lined up as it's 20+ days from the Spurs match to the Fulham match and I don't have that many international players) Good month, the month of red cards. Aston Villa took with their first shot as Yuri Alberto finished Cash's through ball after 27 minutes. Brown equalised just 4 minutes after following up a save from his own header. McGinn was sent off after 62 minutes for a second yellow and it was just a matter of time before we scored, Greaves with a quality ball found Gyokeres to fire home after 68 minutes and that was that. Liverpool were absolutely awful, they were without Alisson but still, Nunez finished on 6.2. We were in control but it was a deflected shot from Weiper that saw us take all 3 points. A mistake from van de Ven saw us take the lead against Spurs as Holm stole the ball and squared it to a free Gykoreres to hit in after 18 minutes. Bentancur equalised after 21 and it was all Spurs after Gyokeres saw himself get sent off for a bad tackle on Emerson Royal after 33 minutes. We did really well to hold on. We're unbeaten! Champions League We were a bit lucky here, AEK missed some good chances. Lucky again here. Not sure we'd of beat 11 men Shakhtar but van Hooijdonk came on in the second half and assisted both second half goals. Next Month Like I said, we don't have many international players so I have some friendly matches in place to keep fitness up. Very difficult month. Real, City and then Chelsea! Just try our best.

September Brilliant start to the season. Redhot against Newcastle. Gray scored within the first minute of the new season to put us ahead but Isak pulled one back after 9. Gyokeres went from assister to scorer as he finishes Holms cross. Gyokeres got a brace later on as he scored from the penalty spot. Gamal made it 4 with a driving run from the right and a good finish after the 95th minute. Isak scored in the 96th after Mendys low cross to make it 4 - 2. Good game. We had so many chances to score against Bournemouth. Adams scored a long shot in the 22nd minute to put them ahead and Weiper with a good finish equalised a minute later. 2 CCCs, 5 half chances, 1 - 1, not good enough. I thought the Brentford game was going the same way. We were dominating and Brown finally put us ahead just before half time heading in Mileys corner. Macias was played through by Damsgaard to make it 1 - 1, we'd dominated and it was their only shot for the whole game and they equalised. Kossounou put us ahead after 67 minutes, heading in Mileys corner and Tietz finishing the scoring, Brown threw in a long throw, Tietz turned, dribbled, goal. It was some nice football from Tietz to make it 3 after 83 minutes, better finishing. Same against Leeds, 2.95 xG vs 0.28 and it was a superb strike by Gray to give us the win, Meslier finishing on an 8.0 rating he pulled of that many saves! We gotta finish our chances! Still, it's a very good start to the season. Carabao Cup Good win, with Chida scoring a debut goal. That's a very tough draw and we'll do well to get through. Champions League Draw That'll see what we're made off, some tough games. Deadline Day I sold Walter for 5mil as I didn't need him at all and was in his last year of contract. I brought in a youth player for 1.1mil. He has a long way to go but he has some potential. We gotta compete somehow . We're only about 30mil net and I kinda deserve to spend that with the success we've had. Plus we're making more money, even if it's only 10% of what Man Utd are making, it's alot more than we did. And somehow, the league holders are again bottom of the wage table. Next Month Very tough month, see what we're made of. We have a very strong first 11 and a good squad.

What on earth is this bid I bought Holm for 6mil from Spezia in Seria B in 2025/2026, he's been a key player at RWB, especially with his physical stats to our success. He's improved alot. It's very much, offer me 50mil upfront or do one .

European Super Cup Let's just try and get a few shots on target . The squad ability difference is huge. The line ups: Give it our best try. First half. Real kick off. 1st minute: Real kick off and pass around, Vini Jr out left, crosses in but Kovar collects. 25th minute: Dedic out wide, crosses in, Ekdal heads out, back in, Vini shoots, big save from Kovar! Real have a corner, Rodyrgo swings in, and Brown clears. 29th minute: Camavinga to Vini, back to Camavinga, Bellingham, Valverde goes for a long shot and blocked. 31st minute: Throw in to Bellingham, he drives in, Vini shoots, blocked and out. 35th minute: Good passing out wide by Real, Rodyrgo plays in Valverde, he drives into the box and shoots. 1 - 0 to Real. We're getting battered. 36th minute: Good passing and play from Rotherham, Gray is in and Courtois saves! Corner to Rotherham, Miley swings in and it's headed out, back to Miley, in and Brown heads wide. We managed a shot on target! Half time and Greaves has a knock. Gamal is replacing Watson and Arrey-Mbi is replacing Greaves. I forgot to take a picture of the half time stats! Second half. Rotherham kick off. 52nd mintue: Rotherham have a freekick, Gamal to Gray, he plays through to Kossounou, is he onside? HE IS. Kossounou hits past Courtois! 1 - 1!!! 61st minute: Holm back to Ekdal, to Gamal in the middle. He plays it back, it's out wide with Brown, back again, Gray long shot and it's over. Weiper is replacing Tietz and Juliao is on for Miley after 68 mins. Final change after 79 minutes. van Hooijdonk is replacing Gyokeres. 79th minute: Rodyrgo hits a brilliant freekick that Kovar has to save for a corner.

Season 5 - 2027/2028 Solid pre-season that my assistant took control of as norm, I played the El Nacional game which saw us win a trophy I'd never heard of but a really good summer. I've made huge changes to the backroom staff and we've brought in some quality players to bolster the squad. The Squad: I need to take two screenshots now we're got proper depth . The ins and outs: Also in: Also out: Leif didn't have the best time with us, he was out injured alot and Becerra took his spot. Irving wasn't need anymore, Juliao had replaced him in Jan. Onyemachi was replaced by a HG LB and I can't turn down that sort of money for him. Stjepanovic was always a buy now, play, sell more player. Cost us 1.5mil, sold for 17mil, job done. Rohl was only here to cover for a season. So, the in players! McAtee cost no money, isn't on high wages, HG and happy to play back up. Gyokeres uptop Chida is a rapid striker, one for the future. Lack of good talent coming through I could find, Chida was the best. Miley and Gray in midfield for years to come, proper happy with this one. New LB Kossounou had just been relegated with Hull but my scouts alerted me about him and he does look very good. We'll see if he can play better here. There could be more in and outs before the window is over. I thought this was pretty cool for our new signing Matchday revenue We're growing as a club, biggest club in Yorkshire . Good to see. Super Cup Well, that's going to be a difficult game . Youth improvement Interview offered No thanks . Backroom changes. I didn't make many changes to the first team staff and I can't attract staff to increase 4* to 4.5 or 5. I do have a couple more spaces if I can find staff to improve our backroom coaching staff. I do have a fitness coach due in and a couple more scouts. U21s: We have the best set up in our divison and we have a couple more coaches due in. U18: Trying my best to improve our youth facilities, network and staff. Solskjaer is manager One more coach is due in and our HYOD isn't here yet. HYOD incoming: Hopefully we can start bringing in our own youngsters over the next few seasons. This is currently our facilities with them all being upgraded. Season Start Difficult start to the season but atleast we're at home to Newcastle, small chance we can add a trophy to the cabinet but I'm not expecting that UEFA Super Cup at all. I'm not ruling out any transfers either, I'd love another striker as good as Gyokeres. I'd need to sell first though. Holm and Watson both have interest and have insane price tags that I'd probably have to cash in for.

Champions? It seems we've just won a cup in pre-season I've never heard of . One for the trophy cabinet.

End of Season Stjepanvoic over Watson? Overachievers. First season I haven't got the signing of the season! Broke our attendance record and then moved back to a stadium that has 20k max Tietz upfront with our new striker should be deadly. If Tietz stays, he has some interest. He's now decided he wants to improve the youth facilities, good 'cause I've spent some time changing alot of staff.

Europa League Final May the best team win. It's a big ask for us to go to the Netherlands and try and win a trophy. Arsenal sacked their manager in January and their U21 manager Mehmet Ali is still intermin. The line ups: 1st half. We kick off. 2nd minute: Holm bombs it down the right, he loses the ball via a bad pass but we win it back. Holm charges into the area and forces a save out of Ramsdale. It's a corner, Bruno takes and it's headed clear. Bruno again, we're passing round but Holm is offside, that's poor. 10th minute: Waston throw in to Tietz, we're passing round, out to Holm, back to Berge who loses the ball, Arsenal are passing round the back, it's with Havertz who strikes from distance and Kovar saves for a corner, it's swung in but we clear. 40th minute: Odegaard swings in the corner but Riedel heads clear, Zinchenko strikes but Kovar saves! Another corner, we clear again. 42nd minute: Watson long throw, Tietz hits it but it's blocked over. Watson takes the corner and Arsenal clear, we hit it back in and it's another corner. Watson again, swung in and cleared back to Watson, Burno into the box, crosses and Ramsdale takes. Half time and it's very even and both teams seem nervy. 2nd half: Arsenal kick off. 54th minute: Ekdal has it, Holm through to Berge.. wait! It's in!!! 1 - 0 to Rotherham! Questions will be asked of Ramsdale there!!! HE'S BEEN MEGGED!!! (Here's a link to the meg https://gyazo.com/62872346d1833aab04af13444f8a1ffc ) 63rd minute: Holm strikes a long shot but it's way over. 74th minute: Rice has it, plays it out wide. Back in the middle, Bruno intercepts, back to Kovar! MISTAKE BY KOVAR and he's luckily got the ball back. That should have been a goal to Arsenal. 10 minutes left or so and I'm gonna bring some fresh legs on. Juliao, van Hooijdonk and Gonzalez replace Weiper, Tietz and Gray. 84th minute: Martinelli takes the corner, we head out, what a strike by Joao Neves but it's got too much curl and hits the post and we clear. Nerves setting in. 88th minute: Long ball by Greaves and it finds van Hooijdonk, he's hits it and he's onside! It's a goal!!!! 2 - 0 to Rotherham!!!! 90+5: We make 2 changes and that's it. ROTHERHAM UNITED HAVE WON THE EUROPA LEAGUE!!!! Europa Awards:

End of Prem Season We still have Europa League Final

We drew with Sevilla in the 2nd leg and we've drawn Arsenal in the final, they're favourites for sure.
