Yeah he usually ends up at City or Chelsea in my experience, and is it just me or does Kaka always go to City in the first transfer window. As for the Europa Qualifying, I felt Twente were the only one of the teams in the leagues I'm following so that's why I put them but if people want I'll...

The other leagues are going to be: Russia Ukraine Portugal Scotland Holland too I'm still not sure whether I'll do monthly or weekly updates but I'll decide that when I start this (probably some time this afternoon).

Basically, I decided to start a save where I do as little as possible (I'll be manager of Guadeloupe or some other small island so I affect almost nothing, this is easier than starting off unemployed since you get so many notifications if you start unemployed.) and report to see what the...

September Now I get why the team's rated 8th by the media. This league is a lot tougher than it looked like. Anyway more on that later. Transfers Sporkslede had a long term injury which meant I sent him back to Ajax since he wouldn't recover in time to play another game. A shame since he was a...
