These may already be out somewhere, but these are a must

Update Regretting selling Jordie Classie and Toonstra together because the players we brought in aren't quite as good, Vormeer keeps getting booked withing first 10 minutes and puts me on edge all game, Kusk is lacking quality and keeps giving the ball away and Van Ginkel has seen himself...

If you Can Afford it, you can afford it I didn't want the other pair to leave so to justify their sales and to give the fans something we just went out and got him, now we have the full set, Buitink, Ferdi and Mitch, but this is the Bright light who could go on to achieve what he wants, if...

so with the window soon coming to an end with the departure of Classie and Toonstra we are going to be sat on 25m with all our business done, so we will be looking at getting a luxury player, Van Bergen is top of the wish list but it seems wrong to ***** 20m on a 17 year old, we will wait it out...

Ajax stunned- In the curtain raiser we finally got the better of the enemy, they werent full strength but neither were we, i started Hansen at the *** request, we weren't great to be fair but Bennedetto scores a 30 yard screamer and ninga came off the bench for a late equalizer, we were...

A few updates Argentina seems to be a good ground to find cheap players,they will listen to offers for anyone. Ponzio and belluschi are both in the twilight of careers but will do good jobs plus they are excellent tutors, we overpaid a bit for Belluschi because they were not interested at...

Summer Time And so to the summer, 7m was what i was given by the board and a GK and a LB were priority, Sebastian Saja- 38 and out of contract from Zaragoza, wanted 18k a week but Napoli and couple big names were interested in him so i count him as a bit of a coup, willdo lovely even for one...

Borussia Gladbach- This was our major breakthrough moment, after drawing 2-2 at De Kuip and being outplayed to be totally honest i didn't hold much hope in the away leg, then 2-0 down after twenty minutes actually had me considering my resignation, and then this- from nowhere we just clicked...

The one mistake i made was selling our goalkeeper Vermeer on deadline day, he finished tutoring Bijlow and it never quite took so i brought in someone else to finish job and then noticed Vermeer listed as one of his favourite clubs and that was it, but what it did was left me screwed for Europa...

The Future I just want to jump the timeline for a minute and run through our prospects, Justin Bijlow- Ended up playing a Bigger role than anticipated last year(more on that later) but he is no doubt our long term no1 Jari Schuurman- Ajax may have Van Der Beek but we have Jari, i know...

So we were plodding along drawing a few here and there and then our first big test of the season, Der Klassiker Absolutely Sick, we were the better team but just couldn't finish them and then they did us right at the death, they were now about 9 points clear and the league chase basically...

First impression First Team A little bit underwhelming to be honest especially if you compare it to Ajax or PSV we were a bit off in terms of star quality, The defence is our strongest department but even Karsdorp and Van beek two players who have big teams sniffing straight away aren't awesome...

My Strategy is to focus on the young prospects we have here and to get them up to speed as quickly as possible while finding cheap but good qood quality short term players who can come in for a season, tutor and hold the team together while the cubs are developing. I always look to keep as...

One of favourite saves of FM past was with Feyenoord and i have always felt there was unfinished business with them as i never won a European title, that is my main aim for this career as more likely than not the league may get tedious after a few seasons, although that said, Losing to Ajax...

Much better performance the fact their Goalkeeper was MOM says it all, we switched to 433 counter today and its my weakest tactic of my 3 set ones, i am still tinkering with the front 3 as i don't like out movements but none the less took the lead same as before free transfer Morleo back at the...
