Congratulations @SilentWitness on a well deserved promotion!My boysIs that the first time I've beat a caf opponent aswell?
Cheers for the write up! Paez seems like a beast and I'm glad that Baxter is doing well too, when I did a Bolton save he was good enough to go up to the Prem with so happy with how he's turning out here too.
We’ll be up there with you all next season. Big plans for Derby and then dominance.
Cheers both! Thought you were about to pip me there.
Definitely think you'll be up next season. Hopefully we can grind it out and stay up too and we have a four way in the PL. Bolton have been run really well

Working with smallest transfer spend on key players too.
Paez really was a top signing!
Needed to save that money for now. Going to be a big mission to stay up.
Garnacho such an overpay

You’ve got another £100m to spend relative to the other guys in the PL.
We’re going to come up though as champions of the championship. I can feel it.
Heart over head but he’s still a terrific player
He's no Paez.
Yeah, I've pumped some money in this summer so let's hope it pays off. Got to shore up that defence too as it's not great individually but feels like we are all having that issue aside from you lot!
Listen, big decisions take time.
Hodgson or Moyes? It isn't an easy decision.
Then you see a potential dream team of Southgate and Gerrard and you get even more confused.
Think we should be moving again soon if we're holding things up.

Sign up Michael Keane while you're at it.
We're not that crazy
I wouldn't go that far. 70m for Frank, remember?
Kinda feels like too much time was spent making sure his right shoulder matched up, leading to the background colour not being fixed.
we see you.
Now he looks like he's wearing some sort of diving helmet.
It's proving difficult to forget
Yea Sheffield Utd took some time to deliberate, and then I had lunch, then I needed to action all the changes. So we're nearly done!

No idea why but I completely forgot about regens. Didn't think anyone would buy one so early!
2027/2028 Season Previews
Alto bought a defender, is he feeling okay?
Alex Scott for 100m. Who that?
Regen or Benito cheat
He's the one that came from Bristol to Bournemouth this season. Highly rated.
I wonder are Derby ever going to start thinking of the here and now.
Neves 60m is a bargain deal.
Seeking investors for part-ownership. Willing to give up 30% stake for joint footballing control (with my overrule). 1billion minimum. Any lurkers fancy it?
I don't think I can take much credit for that one
Summer AI Transfers
Looks like a new first choice keeper for Sheff Utd. Harvey Elliot on a free looks like great business as well. A decent sale to Derby too.
Alto finally buys a CB and then the AI buys another too! Yamal's work permit ran out so I've had to make his second nationality english like Estevao. Sunderland squad is very bloated with 7 unregistered players in it.
Delap comes in and is currently playing AMR with Paez left and Balogun up top. Captain Firpo was sold to Salernitana so Paez is the new captain.
CB O'Shea comes in from Sheff Utd. Derby sold their first choice keeper too. Elliot Anderson is a solid pickup on a free.

Looks like we are prepping to go down and straight back up. Might have to manager change and pump in the money in Jan.
Could have done without selling the GK.
Hinshelwood? And he's not a regen?
ETH not afraid to spend, which is maybe a bit worrying.

Plays for Brighton in real life. Midfielder.
I need to get back to watching MOTD.
Disgraceful sale of Marmol, a key player and the reason I didn't sign Hato the fecking legend.
You should let us bin more than 1 player at a time. This is a joke. Need a clear out.
Yeah I'll consider for the end of Season 5. Seems like a good point to stop and clean squads.
You should hire better staff
