Introduction
Hello and welcome to my new Football Manager 2019 save. I've decided to start fresh and only run just the one save. That save will be with Premier League strugglers Southampton. When they first arrived in the Premier League, they became one of the most exciting sides in the division, with a top 6 finish just a few years ago, but since selling their key players on (mainly to Liverpool), such as Sadio Mane and Virgil Van Dijk, they've struggled to repeat that and find themselves in a relegation battle. Trophy wise, the club have not won much at all, with the FA Cup being the notable achievement, 2nd to that is only a Sky Bet League One title and then regional trophies. The club also did well in the Premier League until they were relegated in 2004-05 before going down to League One in 2008-09. They're best spell was in the 1970's, but they've had a few other good seasons but haven't been able to make it consistent. Hopefully I can change that.
Transfer Window
I've already played through the transfer window (my apologies for that), with Charlie Austin, Maya Yoshida, Shane Long and Steven Davis the only notable departures. They joined Newcastle, Sevilla, Fiorentina and Sampdoria respectively. Jack Stephens also went out on loan to Chievo. With that being said, our transfer window was simply amazing. We had a decent budget, but netted around 40m for players who I didn't even want. Altogether, this left us with an insane 75m pounds. Then for one reason or another, the board decided we needed more funds (???) and we ended up with 100m to play with (amazed at how much they gave us, I never get anything from the board let alone 25M!). The signings we made are unrealistic but insane. We signed Patrick Cutrone from AC Milan, Ajax duo Matthijs De Ligt and Frenkie De Jong, Kieran Tierney, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Ryan Sessegnon, Allan Saint-Maximin, Jamaal Lascelles and Paulo Gazzaniga. We also have Jurgen Locadia, Luiz Felipe and Gianluca Busio arriving in January. Now that I've covered this I will complete a squad list next update (I hope the unrealistic signings don't detract interest in the story).
