Not just 'it', but the other stuff too!

 

[BenitoSTARR]

Thank you @Solius for running this. Enjoy the break.

 

[SilentWitness]

feck sake. I should have splurged on Rose.

Top work @Solius and well done to Sheffield! @BD @sebsheep

 

[BenitoSTARR]

Congratulations @BD and @sebsheep!!!!

 

[SilentWitness]

7 points off the top, CL football and Wanner in the top rating charts isn't a bad first season for Sergio. Relatively happy despite the drop off and my boy Rose doing the domestic treble.

We’ve got CL football for next season which is a big plus, especially for the budget. We have big things to come from the mighty Bolton. Cracking foundation you’ve laid down.

@BD and @sebsheep what an achievement! Absolutely brilliant.

Thanks peeps.
Who would've thought a revenge mission against Arsenal and leaving @BD alone with cash for 10 minutes could yield such a result

You’ve slightly redeemed yourselves after paying £70m for Thomas Frank.

 

[BD]

You’ve slightly redeemed yourselves after paying £70m for Thomas Frank.

In many ways, that was key. If we hadn't have done that, then we probably would've thought 50m on Rose was wild and not gone near him.

 

[sebsheep]

Think I have it figured out now.

Right where were we?

Little bit busy today and I've been booked onto workshops Tues/Weds so it depends if they're quite hands on or if I can just turn my camera off and listen. I've seen some of the DMs so will get to those this afternoon.

I have granted you all 500m to use on whatever you like *cough stadium* but if you want to ditch that and spend it on players/wages that's up to you.

 

[Solius]

I also think we'll aim for 15 seasons. If nobody has won the CL by then we'll go until at least one of you wins it.

 

[Solius]

Yeah stuck in meetings all day so can't do much til tomorrow.

 

[Solius]

Going to change the stadium costing to make it simple. 10m per 1000 seats added.

 

[Solius]

Season 11 start

----------------------------------------------

And we are back! Let's begin with some manager news:

Pep's had a few sackings recently and that has put him in range of all of you, but only Derby looked at managers and now they have their man!

Now let's see what our owners did in the transfer market.

Owner Transfers

@BD & @sebsheep won the Premier League last season and have decided to shore up the GK dept. They spent £108.5m on 24yo Kim Christian Hoyenhall, who they have scouted multiple times.

@altodevil and Sunderland will be in the Europa this season, and to make sure that never happens again he's spent £203.5m on Gavi!

@The Cat & @sebsheep are turning up to the party with Alto's ex. Because they're arm in arm with £279.5m Lamine Yamal

@SilentWitness and new life partner @simonhch have gone for Sam Seiliearts-Leask. I will abbreviate the £172m man to SSL in future because feck that name.

22nd December 2033

Merry Christmas! Let's see how we're getting on.

Looking like what we expected so far!

Champions Sheff Utd are challenging at the top again. Pino is just relentlessly consistent, Dalipi is banging in the goals, Hoyenhall is keeping them out (sometimes).

Bolton sit 4th. Paez and Wanner the two main men for them. SSL has 7 goals so far for his new club. Pavlovic continues to assist from deep, with 8 so far!

Derby in 5th. LB wonderkid Rolly Munganga is now a fully fledged first teamer. Yamal is also being played on either wing (7 games on either side so far) and has 4 goals so far. Evan Ferguson has ten goals in 20 games too (he's just benched for the screenshot). They have had injuries to Mikey Moore and Stankovic though so those two are a few weeks out.

Sunderland are only 8 points off the top. Kroupi tops the scoring charts again, and Alonso is preferring new signing Cajon in goal, so much to the point that Seimen wasn't even registered. I've made him home grown to see if he registers him but it's still not happening. Gavi has settled in well and has 2 goals and 4 assists so far.

--------------------------------

Carabo Cup-wise, only Derby have made the semis. They play Burnley!

--------------------------------

Champions League table

Bolton and Sheff Utd doing just dandy!

-------------------------------

Piece of piss for the Black Cats and Rams.

[SilentWitness]

Kompany again.

 

[Solius]

He's a menace.

 

[BenitoSTARR]

Can’t believe I’ve been kicked out of Derby…

 

[Solius]

I'm assuming all are happy to carry on? Are you happy with the frequency of updates? Do you want me to not properly pause it if everything is going to plan by the mid-point? Like all around the top 4, all qualified from CL, etc..

All fine with me. Agree that if Bolton dip in form and we are outside Europe spots or CL etc. at any update point the would be good to know so we can make change if needed.

 

[BD]

Good to go.

I like the midway updates, but I think unless it's going terribly for a team, then continue on without a big wait to confirm if they're happy. Maybe part of our pre-season planning can be an 'expectation' thing, where if by Christmas we are outside of the top X teams then it's paused and wait for them to change something if they like. But maybe that's just adding unnecessary effort, I dunno. Our boys just can't stop winning so it's easy for us.

Yeah I wasn't going to leave it too long, usually only if someone interjects. The pause this time was because I was done for the day, but we continue!

 

[Solius]

Nothing worse than simming it, checking on it 10 mins later and seeing 'Available Jobs - Sunderland'.

Ffs back we go.
