The Brief As ever, the board brief was to Finish Mid-Table this season, with yet another decrease in the wage budget to £28k and £35k transfer budget. Just two more seasons until our biggest loan comes off the books. The Results Three players tied on two goals speaks volumes for a) how we're spreading the goals around this season and b) how our forward line isn't the greatest.... The Transfers IN DM/MC/AML Jan Männel (Free transfer) AMR/ST Heinz Karner (Free transfer) DRL Markus Kallnik (Loan, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim) We re-signed an academy graduate who had been released by the club that signed him from us (Männel), a player who had been poached from our academy and then was released (Karner) and an academy graduate on loan who wasn't playing at his club (Kallnik) OUT DM/MLC/AML Michael Alhassan (£14k, Akwa FC) AMRLC/ST Francisco José Silveira (£250k, FC Hansa Rostock) AMR/ST Henning Köpnick (£250k, 1.FC Kaiserslautern 05) Silvera was being an absolute dick and fell foul of my Code of Conduct by missing training, so I cut my losses and sold him on. Köpnick was a victim of our logjam in the forward areas. And Alhassan just wasn't good enough

No, started a FM23+ career, youth only, at Energie Cottbus

I’d go elsewhere, but stay youth only. Lower-league France is a lot of fun

It begins again...

Someone explain to me how he went for less than £1.5m. Insane stats now since he's been at Atalanta.

Let's hope so. It's coming up to sh*t or bust territory

I'll be honest, the constant debt cycle has really stopped me in my tracks, as I can't afford to get any improvements to the facilities in. I do think that we're getting in players that we can use, rather than getting a HOYD who brings in MC's and WB's, when we don't use them. We're not really making progress, as 5 years about the middle of the league shows us. I think we'll kick on after promotion, but it's the getting there really

Stride looks nice for Gib!

As Meatloaf once said in an earlier draft, 1 out of 3 ain't bad

Welcome back, buddy!

I wouldn't touch MLS. It's too broken for talent development. The Estudiantes idea is very interesting, but I always had a soft spot for Velez

The Stats 3. Liga Table Jul - Dec Results Jan - May Results Player Stats Commerical Summary Data Hub The Eyetest A very bad end to the season put my position at the club under threat, we only took 22 points from the last 20 games to see us finishing 12th in 3.Liga. Hewa Fernando led the way with 13 goals, but we suffered with injuries in the last few months. So I'm hoping we can reload for next season and at least finish higher than what we did this season. Stats-wise, we finished 11th on Goals Scored and 7th on Goals Conceded, which is a little better than I thought defensively to be honest. We'll also try to avoid being raided again. The Misc Well, one good thing to come out of this season, I guess...

Nice start! I have been to Kosovo, but all I saw was Prishtina Airport

Oof, best of luck with this!

I wonder if it would be good to drop into Serie B and build up a team to contend with your Atalanta side?

Nice choice of team. Good luck

Sorry to have lost the thread. Look forward to your next one!

Well. I don't think I've ever seen a 5* CA prospect! He'll do wonders for you!

Yeah, he's a righty with some comfort in the left hand role, which will make it easier to re-train him! Glad you like the partnerships idea, just something to keep it fresh every year

We finally (kinda) have a left back! He'll need to be trained there, but it does solve one issue, along with getting a DC through. Let's look at the Top 3 prospects DRC Sa'ar Turgeman - Work Rate: 13, Pace 12 - DNA: Passed Finally a player that we can put as a left back. Not much in the way of Physicals, but his Mentals give him a fighting chance. D/DM/M/AMC Andreas Flauder - Work Rate: 10, Pace 10 - DNA: Passed Another with not fantastic physicals, but he has an intriguing skillset which could translate to either DM role for us M/AMC/ST Manuel Ertel - Work Rate: 10, Pace 12 - DNA: Passed It's an interesting dilemma here as we could run Ertel as either an AMC or DM (which would require more training). I think he'll ended up in the AMC role, myself.

Sorry to hear this buddy. I hope you get a good opportunity soon!

Ooh, thanks! I'll change that, going forward!
