Update:

Wow what a season!, managed to win the BSP and take Fleetwood back up. It was a close end to the season with Grimsby sitting top for the majority of the latter end of the season until the last 3 games, they dropped 6 points in their last 3 games which allowed me to go top with 1 game left and 3 points clear. I lost my last game of the season but lucky for me Grimsby only drew leaving me 2 points clear.

Now time to consolidate and try and finish at least mid table in league 2 next season. The board have upped my wage budget to 38k from 29k so that should help me sign some decent players, still need a decent striker to bag me loadsa goals as it was my wingers that scored the most in the season just gone.

Into my 4th season of the game now so the transfer window could be interesting. Another positive is that my parent club Leed utd just got promoted to the premiership so i may be able to pinch few players from them...fingers crossed

Nicely done, Pericard and Michael Smith are two great goal scorers when on form and are around that league level.

I'm hoping to sit mid table in the BSP this year, with a solid foundation promotion next year

Not doing too bad, got promoted back to back after finishing 3rd with fleetwood in league two. Am now half way through my fifth season and now in league 1 and currently sitting 16th. I'm struggling to score goals at the moment but I think that's down to me not really having a good clear out in pre season as I haven't really signed any new players so at the moment I'm just waiting for the January transfer window to reignite some sort of hope. I'm pretty sure l will avoid the drop but a mid table finish might be more realistic. I have plenty of money to sort it out I just need to make sure I prepare properly for next season now.

How's you guys getting on?

Sounds good Sparko yeah not too bad....

started off with Arsenal & won the PL Twice, COC Once , FA CUP 3 Times and the community shield once I then left.

I then went to Sevilla where I stayed for 10 Months Getting to 1 knockout stage of Europa league, Finished 4th (when I took over they were 16th) & Knock out of the Spanish cup semi final.

I then went to Dortmund for 13 months where I won the German super cup and finished 2nd in the first division.

Currently at Barcelona & have so far one the league once, Spanish cup x3, Super cup x3.

Became the Spanish manager last year (2020) not done much just a few world cup quali's & friendlies Spain were ranked 14th when I took over believe it or not.

Finding it really hard to progress in the Champions league, Furthest I've reached is the Second knockout stage, every team I've managed so far seems to struggle but I think this is down to my stubbornness of only buying world class players or "wonder kids".

I will say one thing, Lionel Messi on this game is ridiculous he's 33 on my game and still rated as 4/5 stars 131 international caps with 73 goals and to date 519 apps with 339 goals unreal...

I drew 0-0 (in both those games)

I wasnt too miffed when i looked again as it seemed the whole league had the same 2 fixtures so it was the same harsh schedule

TheDvEight · March 09, 2013, 01:20:30 PM
