    Premier League Chairman Game

    I'll be happy to join if this gets up and running again. Don't think I've ever used Discord before but happy to try it out for a new chairman game.

    Premier League Chairman Game

    The numbers of regulars does seem to be dropping which is surprising as the game seems to grow in popularity every year. I know there are other forums out there but you would have thought if the popularity of the game is growing then the number of users for all the forums would grow as well.

    Premier League Chairman Game

    Its a shame but probably the right decision. These games were hugely popular a few years ago. I'm not sure if the interest has died down or the number of regulars on the site has.

    Premier League Chairman Game

    I love a good Chairman Game. Hopefully we get a full league of people involved. I'll take Man City.

    Birmingham City - Implementing a cantera policy

    July/August The season starts in style as we dominated a good Leeds side and got a pretty comfortable 2-0 win. They created very little in the game and. if it wasn't for a disallowed goal, Leko would have come away with the match ball. Another game and another 2-0 win. The big summer...

    Birmingham City - Implementing a cantera policy

    Pre-Season It has been a busy pre-season as I had to restructure the entire staff setup (at one point my entire recruitment and physio team was 1 scout and 1 sports scientist) and improve the squad. I had to do this all during a shortened summer as the season is starting earlier due to the...

    End of Season Post The second season has finished and it has been a major success. I went into the season hoping to finish 17th and stay up. We have ended up finishing in 8th place and only 1 point from a European place. We started okay and looked to be aiming for a 12th-17th place but then...

    Birmingham City - Implementing a cantera policy

    May A solid start to the month with a good win away from home against Brighton. We really are looking like a solid Premier League team at the moment. Hopefully, with the right additions over the summer, we can look at maybe putting together a run for Europe next season. It is these types...

    Birmingham City - Implementing a cantera policy

    April Get in. We lost Bellingham to injury for the rest of the season before this game so Johannesson came in to start and delivered by getting the second goal. We made a great start with Harper scoring and looked pretty comfortable after that. The rest of the month is incredibly tough so I'm...

    Birmingham City - Implementing a cantera policy

    March It is a disappointing start to the month as we got caught having a bad couple of minutes and they were able to score twice to take the points. We were the dominant team for most of the game so it is very disappointing to come away with nothing. With the amount of good luck we have had...

    Birmingham City - Implementing a cantera policy

    I'm still playing around with it but this is how it is at the moment. The left side is much more effective than the right side though so I haven't got the balance right.

    Birmingham City - Implementing a cantera policy

    February We came out quickly but then Arsenal showed their class to take the game from us. We tried to go for it more in the second half but we just couldn't get the goal we needed and to be honest, by the end of the game it was more likely we would concede again rather than equalise. It...

    Birmingham City - Implementing a cantera policy

    It has been a revelation. I'm still playing with it a little but if it keeps performing as it has been then I think I have found one to finally stick with. I have a question for everyone that is following along. The transfer policy is to only buy players from the region but obviously the club...

    January The new year starts with a good win in the cup against Preston. I rested a lot of players but it didn't matter as the quality of the team shone through in the end. Through to the next round we go. We have been drawn against Chelsea so it may as far as we go. Another good win...

    Birmingham City - Implementing a cantera policy

    December Not a great result but it was a decent performance. Both teams were pretty even in terms of chances but they had much better quality up top to put their chances away. We are not at a point where we can compete with this level of team and I think it will take a couple of seasons...
