(well, i don't want clubs to get fighting fit players from me when i can help it!!!) Thats what I did last season as well. Sold 2 of my aging players around November and rather than have them on zero training, put them on GK training for a change while they waited for January to move clubs. One of them got injured in that period. My star midfielder is once again requesting a transfer. Last time I accepted, I lost my star defender for a measly 500k. Not going to happen again unless the board has other ideas. This guy looks like another one set to be the transfer target of clubs. He had itchy feet last season but I managed to renew his contract in time. He first joined the club when I got relegated back to BSS and has been steadily improving since his 4 years with us. Would've made a great winger but for his lack of pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scab Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Season 2018/19 Review - Hendon in the Premiership Awesome season! What else can I possibly say after finally completing the challenge? League Table Liverpool were fighting tooth and nail with us for about the first half of the season, then some key players of theirs got injured and they never really recovered. A comfortable win in April for us in the end. Man Utd relegated for the first time as far as I can tell. Past Positions A stable season. We were always going to finish either 1st or 2nd. The Squad Mills finally started scoring and I've been trying to give Neil "the new Jim Baxter" Gould as much first time football as possible despite his tender age (16-17). Transfers Totally regret the Jan van Eck buy. My scout was head over heels about him, but my coaches aren't as excited and he's progressing very slowly in training. Did better in the sales department, making a good bit of money, even though £5M of the Rory Mitchell sale went to his motherclub Toronto FC. Star Player The ever-present fan favourite. Had a quiet season in the league finishing 5th in the goal scoring chart with 24 goals, but scored 14 in various cup games. League Cup Final Fielded my reserves for most of the cup and if this is any indication, I think some might just be ready for the first team. FA Cup Final Still cursing myself for conceding that 89th minute goal bringing the game into extra time. Champions League Final I really can't describe this in words. Thinking back on it, I start giggling to myself like a school girl. Confidence Surely this is broken... I finished 1st this year and 2nd last year! Random Stats Balance: £124,657,500 Wages: £529,738/£690,640 Average Attendance: 49278 (51312 in the league) Media Prediction: 7th Squad Average Age: 26 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stinger061 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Tiverton Town - Season 2010/11 - Blue Square Premier After narrowly missing the playoffs last season after sitting inside them for the majority of the year we did the opposite this time around, sitting just outside for a long period before a strong run home propelled us into 2nd spot and into the playoffs. League Table We were drawn against Cambridge, a side we had never lost to in our 4 previous meetings so i went in with plenty of confidence especially given we had won 6 of our last 7 matches in the league. Playoff Semi Leg 1 This was a really open affair with shots coming in from all over the place. Both teams hit the woodwork and both keepers played out of their skins and i saw enough to be confident of getting the right result at home. Playoff Semi Leg 2 Sometimes you need to be a little bit lucky in the world of football and on this particular day thats exactly what we were. It was a really even match but we took our chances when they were presented and thats all that counts. So it was off to the final and i had a full squad to choose from. We took on Kettering who i had hammered 3-0 to kick off my winning run home during the league season so we were favorites going into the match. My star striker Andy Caton went in needing just one goal to break the clubs record for most league goals for the club which sits at 88. The game kicked off and it was a very cagey affair for the first half with neither team really threatening all that much. Into the break at 0-0 i told the side i was a little disappointed with their first half and it certainly fired them into action. Joe Mason netted just 6 minutes after the break only for us to be pegged back 5 minutes later. 19 year old Mason who is on loan with us for the second season in a row was in the mood however and re-establised our lead on 62 minutes and soon after had the Tiverton fans in dream land as he completed his hat-trick. Kettering fought back and made for a nervy end to the game, making it 3-2 with 10 minutes to play but as they threw caution to the wind Josh McQuoid capped off a brilliant counter attack to ensure we would be playing league football next season Playoff Final In between all that there was more glory for the fans as in what was a fairly lack luster affair we also took out the FA Trophy, Andy Caton with the only goal of the game. FA Trophy Final Squad Star Players: Andy Caton - Once again i can't go past the young striker as out player of the season. Netting 44 goals and going on to equal the record for Most League Goals for the club with 88 as well as providing 24 assits, quite simply a legend. Joe Mason - On loan for the 2nd season in a row Joe simply shone alongside Caton up front. More often than not it was him the Caton was providing the assists for and his performance in the playoff final was simply sensational. Josh McQuoid - Another loanee from our parent club Plymouth, Josh played at right midfield for the majority of the season as he couldn't get a look in up front but was too good to leave on the bench. He constantly provided goals for Caton and Mason while also chipping in with 19 of his own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodsy18 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 09/10 Season Review - Gateshead - Conference Treble! What an incredible season...I had secretly harboured hopes off capturing a play-off place at the most, but this came as a complete surprise. League Champions Setanta Shield Champions FA Trophy Champions Squad List After getting no transfer budget again from my board, i wasn't too optimistic about our chances of promotion even though I managed to secure my three Newcastle loanees from last season on another season long loan. However any doubts I had about our chances were quickly dispelled as we embarked on an incredible unbeaten run from our first game of the season which lasted 29 games, eventually being beaten by former League side, Dagenham and Redbridge. By that time though we were by far and away the best side in the league and held on to top spot for the majority of the season. What was even more surprising was our amazing cup successes which saw us clinch both the FA Trophy and the Setanta Shield - beating Stevenage in both Wembley finals Star Men Michael McCrudden - Stellar season from the main man up front. Finished as Fan's Player of the Year, Top Goalscorer, Player of the Year and all round Legend. Shaun "The Viper" Vipond - Picked up on a free from Carlisle in pre-season and proved to be a revellation in his first season. Pulling the strings in the midfield he ended up as Top Assister and 2nd Highest Scorer - absolute bargain Thomas Butler - Another freebie, this time from Swansea, and yet another great bit of business. Brilliant winger who should be able to make the step up. However there were one or two things which royally ****ed me off... Give me a Break - The day after winning the Setanta Shield and a week after becoming champions of the Blue Square Premiership ???? - After getting promoted the board said that I should seriously work on the three year plan, hope this bug doesn't get me the sack Anyway...League football here we come!!!
