Getting to a cup final somewhat makes up for finishing 7th in the conference despite having Trezeguet and Defoe up top.

@Dan vs @K Stand Knut
@Dan can't believe how they didn't win this first match. Tsartas missed a penalty and @K Stand Knut scored in the only shot they made. Unbelievable, Jeff!
In the second match things were match more even but no one could score. The game went to extra time. @K Stand Knut scored twice, but one of the goals was in the wrong end.
It was all decided in penalties... and @K Stand Knut is in the playoff final.
@Skizzo vs @OptimisedRed
The first match started amazingly well for @Skizzo. 24 minutes they were 3-0 up, but then... @OptimisedRed scored 3 times with just 4 shots on target.
At home, @OptimisedRed didn't give @Skizzo many chances. The fans we're still wondering how could they let that 3-0 lead in the first leg go to waste. The momentum was on @OptimisedRed's side.

@K Stand Knut vs @OptimisedRed
@OptimisedRed was on fire in the final. Even though the match was close in terms of stats, the efficiency shown was amazing, 6 shots, 4 goals, and 3 goals in just 4 minutes decided the match. @K Stand Knut didn't have a chance.
@OptimisedRed is promoted to League 2!
Icon Abel Xavier was the MOTM

League 2 Playoff
Semi Final 1st Leg
@Hephaestus struggled in the first match, but that last goal kept the dream alive to turn things around at home.
The 2nd leg was actually going well in terms of stats but the goal wasn't coming. Then the goalie was sent off, penalty and it was all over... @Hephaestus will play another season in League 2.
Aww i’m never going up.
Abandoning us eh. Quitter.

FA Trophy Final
FA Trophy Final
@Herman Toothrot vs @17 Van der Gouw
The big day was here, 13k people were at Goodison Park to witness this Conference League classic. And it was a nail biter! Trezeguet and Defoe once again coming to the rescue, what an end to the season for them.
But what now?
Oh apparently in the FA Trophy there's a replay match if no one wins the final...
For some reason, only half the people returned for the final replay...
@Herman Toothrot showed up, more shots, more shots on target, more corners, man of the match and they were 2-0 up.
But Defoe and Trezeguet were not going to let this get away... Colin Cameron scored the winner and @17 Van der Gouw is the new FA Trophy winner!

Ballack's transfer not going through on time on the last day of transfers might have cost him.
Can I just have some sort of push for promotion next season. Lingering around the bottom of league 3 isn't how I saw this going.
You're spending money in the summer...
Nice, might finally be our time to shine
Have my owners decided to splash some of their ill-gotten wealth or are they still competing with the glazers?
Mid july and you spent
0
@whitbyviking United loaned you Helder Postiga...
Just couldn't keep up with your spending and abandoned all my principles too late to get Ballack in time.

What a ride for Benito Carbone... in just 2 years he went from not being in Bradford's XI, to being bought and sold by @Šjor Bepo to winning the Champions League and Midfielder of the Year at Roma.

Shit cnuts!!! Well done @OptimisedRed
Cheers bro. I'm delighted. Good luck for next season.
Can't wait for league 2. Hope to push on for back to back promotions now.
It's a hard task getting out of the Conference. Or in my case, getting top half in the Conference...
Shite finish and still no marquee signings. I am disappointed.
Yep, only 1 spot makes it really hard. We now have a few real teams in L3, if they get relegated, I'll see if I can switch clubs and promote more conference teams.
Sorry to say it's not getting any better...
I actually don't mind seeing how it plays out
Changing teams is a long shot, I remember trying it years ago and it screwed up the cup structures, so most likely you'll all have to suffer in the hellhole that's the english conference league.
Yeah I wouldn't go with changing teams, it's all part of the fun seeing if you'll make it out at any point
more players should follow his pathWhat a ride for Benito Carbone... in just 2 years he went from not being in Bradford's XI, to being bought and sold by @Šjor Bepo to winning the Champions League and Midfielder of the Year at Roma.
Me and Gareth are destined for great things.
Will be interesting to see how we manage in league 1 this season, hopefully we strengthen the squad.
Definitely in for next season btw.
@maniak
How does this work then, I've not been paying much attention. I assume you just change Oldham's name to mine, then just sim the entire season and see what happens?

Was enjoying this until I seen David O’Leary is United manager
Herman Toothrot AFC are bottlers.
You guys keep spending... you have PL squads at this point.

SAF retired and he was the replacement.
Yeah that's it, I add 500M, max reputation and max facilities, then the AI will either take you to glory or hoard all the cash.
I hated him when he managed Leeds. So smug.

Looks like he’s won the league, though, so can’t complain too much

2003 Summer Transfers - League 1
@Cheimoon is not messing around and spent 124M in the summer, including an insane transfer, 2nd highest ever in the world, 48M for Andrés Olivera from Seviila
Only Real Madrid paying 49M for Christian Vieri 2 summers ago was higher than this.
@Cheimoon also got Ben Thatcher from @Dr. Dwayne for 5M, he as fundamental in @Dr. Dwayne title in the Conference.
@sebsheep is trying to keep up and also brought big names.
He started by paying 25M to @17 Van der Gouw after the end of last season to get David Trezeguet. Major loss for @17 Van der Gouw
In the summer, another 63M spent on some big names, Joe Cole, Young Player of the Year 2 seasons ago and Nuno Gomes. Robinson was also very expensive from Watford, but United and Chelsea were also interested.
As a side note, you sold Klose to @The Cat after scoring 23 goals in 31 matches.
