Ended 14 years of Grand National sweepstakes
Just need to put our soul on the list for the next transfer window and it's completed.
Unbelievable. Dont know how the club is going to keep all those players happy.@OptimisedRed doing a Boehly here.
628M spent!@OptimisedRed doing a Boehly here.
Pocket change628M spent!
It's an issue, actually, loads of unhappy players forcing their way out, the overall team spirit drops and it's reflected in the results. For example Anelka, Ofori-Quaye and Donati were sold at a 33M loss just about a month after arriving.Unbelievable. Dont know how the club is going to keep all those players happy.
I'm not shocked. Hopefully don't get relegated with all that talent.It's an issue, actually, loads of unhappy players forcing their way out, the overall team spirit drops and it's reflected in the results.

Ahahaha. what the actual...@OptimisedRed actually I was wrong about Anelka, was checking @nimic numbers. What the hell happened here? Great deal by @nimic!
Do transfers always come in such clusters? It looks like @PSV, @nimic, @Big Andy, @OptimisedRed, @Hephaestus, @SilentWitness, and @whitbyviking (and probably some others) bought completely new squads across the season!2009-10 Transfers

Don't worry-I'll be selling them all cheap and unhappy soon. Bargains to be hadHogging the transfers!
meanwhile I’ve done nowt
There seems to be a pattern that teams who are struggling fire their managers and then buy a truckload of new players. So on the one hand it's nice getting lots of players, but on the other hand it's often a indication the club is struggling in the league.

I am Typing this before I go to the last page of the thread,
My immediate prediction on the basis that I seemed to sell half my squad and then panic buy in January, is outright relegation
If you’re getting relegated because of the players you sold then I am well and truly farked

Well, that is possibly true but I was more concerned about having no players to actually field.
You appeared to have a hard on for my players though!!!
Well, at least we're consistentConference 2009-10
@VivaObertan are the new Conference champions and are promoted to League 3!
@Herman Toothrot got 98 points, their best ever, but again they finish second. 5th time they finish second.
@Peter van der Gea finished 11th and won the worst team trophy once again.
Ouch...
I did think about making a witty comment about pillaging your squad for players, then @maniak pointed out it’s usually a sign of struggling, so I refrained before I made a fool of myself
Who is my manager these days? I assume I’ve got a new one then?There seems to be a pattern that teams who are struggling fire their managers and then buy a truckload of new players.

Those are the best meetings.Just did a quick check of my transfers and created a spreadsheet (been in a meeting 4hrs and I'm not required to speak)
Anyhoo, these (I think) are the numbers -
*this is only based on the significant transfers @maniak posts up, there may be others
- Transfers in didn't really commence until halfway through the season
- We sold the player who effectively got us promoted, Zlatan Muslimovic in a surprise move for £16.75m
- We also sold Steven Reid for over £20m
- We ended up selling 5 players for a sum of £52.7m
- We signed a whopping 16 players, including Mikael Forssell for £28m, Armin Sistek for £24m, Gary Mills for £22m and Stephen Pearson for £21m
- We really liked signing players from K Stand Knut, stealing 3 of his guys
- We also took 2 from BenitoSTARR, including Steed Malbranque for £13m, two months after he signed him
- Net spend for the season was around £215m*

Nice net spend as well though. Or was that bad? Can't remember what it's supposed to be...
I was about to laugh at you for the effort you put into this, then I remembered I did a full EU4 Experiment, up to and including making a youtube video about it.
My update is that I'm the worst Caf team
As soon as I saw we signed nobody in the early months I suspected we were in trouble and then we seemed to remember how to dial an external line on the fax machine and went mental
do you have a summary of my transfers? Couldn’t track them all
Probably still get relegated
Your team ended the season with only 17 professional players...Well, that is possibly true but I was more concerned about having no players to actually field.
You appeared to have a hard on for my players though!!!
Even with some logic, this game can be cruel...So me not signing anyone means I did the treble?.........
