MarcxD Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 2027-2028 Season Review Lovely second season in the PL and already European football next year, and a FA cup final appearance. It will be harder now to really sign improvements, not too many world-class available on a free! I got myself a PL Manager of the year award! Mijailovic and Busai star strikers this year, with some other players contributing as well. Former players the lot of them, Thomas Jean and Jordan Holmes the only ones who were actually part of the squad this past season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcxD Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 Pre-Season + August 2028 15th is not that bad of a prediction, I think top 7 should be the goal again, it's hard to say how far away we are from actually battling the top 4 sides for a season. Big transfer summer like every year, but multiple of these players were signed for future, most interesting new signings are probably striker Manga from Saint-Étienne and defender Da Silva. There were some departures including first teamer Busai, who I sold to Man Utd! I thought the fee was good, even though we obviously don't need any more money than we are already getting from the tv deal. I replaced him in the squad with Morelos. Last youth recruitment upgrade approved... Should be easy enough to get through this group. Fantastic pre-seson with some huge wins and we also started with a perfect run to the league - although the performance wasn't even that great in the first two matches. Huge victory over Chelsea though. As you can see the miniscule expansion to our stadium is done and I'll be looking to get a new stadium built as soon as possible. One of three teams to have had a perfect start... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcxD Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 January 2029 Two losses at the start of the month but went on to have a great month after that with a surprisingly big win over Man City as well. Utd seems to be the main rival but any drop in form can be lethal. Two outgoings - Brewster hadn't played a single minute this season and wanted to leave so that was an easy decision.

MarcxD Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 February 2029 Fantastic-- including an incredible win in the Europa League. 6 points on City, 7 on Utd now.

MarcxD Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 March 2029 + Youth Intake FA Cup scheduling seems to have screwed up a bit, but we have beaten Liverpool to go through in the Europa League. Looking strong -- now it's definitely Utd who are the team to watch out for. Awesome, will enjoy beating Feyenoord No, not good.

MarcxD Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 2028-2029 Season Review Definitely a fantastic season, only missed out on the domestic cups. Next year the goal will be another PL title and getting far as possible in the Champions League.. Second straight manager of the year of the premier league. Got these approved for next season... Incredible stuff all around, especially from the strikers - I had not expected Morelos to do quite so well. More current players added to the best eleven overall. Going to need to make some changes next summer but not too drastic, it could very well be the least busy transfer window in a while. Depends on offers for my players and who is going to be available of course. Soulaïmani, Jean and Agten will stay on loan for the next season, I will need to find another Bodézon though.

MarcxD Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 Pre-Season + August 2029 Well, the first time we are predicted to finish in the top half of the table. Of course we will actually be going for the 1st spot again. Som transfers in - Stoyanov is an important new central defender and well you probably all know who Ndidi is - now 32, he is still very capable. Outgoing were two big sales of note - I did not really want to sell Moreno but I had a overload of midfielders and that offer was quite good. I decided to offer Cannon to clubs since he had become sixth choice striker or so - he had performed very well last season and his English nationality is nice for the squad registration but it was time to move on. Good friendlies. It was a bit disappointing to not win the Community Shield, but we did win the big pre-season trophy in the Super Cup. Extremely bright start to the actual PL season as well. Spurs in 20th... - Arsenal, Utd & City the other three teams who started perfectly. Should go through alongside Barca, but have to be wary of RBL.

MarcxD Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 September 2029 Not exactly what I was looking for - two league losses. Keeping Barca from scoring in their own stadium seems to be a pretty good result in Europe, though. And well, we did beat City 4-0... Who are actually the side in first.

MarcxD Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 October 2029 A home loss to RBL and only a draw against Celtic... will have to really win the next matches to have a chance of qualifying for the next round.

MarcxD Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 November 2029 Well, we did get the CL wins! Don't ask me how, with us getting two penalties in extra time against Barcelona. Dropped too many points in the league though, even if we did beat Man Utd. 10 points behind City already, and Newcastle (who have done very well for themselves for many seasons and are currently managed by Jermain Defoe) are even 4 points ahead.

MarcxD Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 December 2029 December is not an easy month when you have a bunch of injuries - with that in mind I can't be too displeased with the results we got. Still 10 points behind City, and Liverpool is now the team ahead... poor Fulham, still winless halfway. Sadly we just couldn't do enough against RBL in the end. I guess we'll just have to go for another EL win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcxD Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 January 2030 A few departures but no new signings. A very good month in the league, just too bad we couldn't do the same in the FA Cup. Out of both domestic cups now, just the league and the EL remain. Man City's lead is only 4 points now!
