Can we finally make it to the Premiership? - Brighton and Hove Albion

[SamPeters]

Amazing season so far mate!
What's you aim now? End in the top 10?

In January i left it as trying to avoid relegation which i been able to do so anywhere i finish will be a success but with Man United, Liverpool and Arsenal as my last 3 games it will be tough but considering i am 12 points ahead of 11th place i may still be able to finish top ten but we will see

So your expectation for the board is avoiding relegation, but what ending position do you have in mind?
If you would finish 11th or 12, wouldn't you be a little bit disappointed?

I would like to finish 9th which i think will be realistic with 2 games to go

What an amazing season here! to have finished 17th would had been a great season for me but to end up 9th is brilliant!

Cup Competitions
Expected to lose both the games that we did to the teams from North London!

My Player of the Season

Dele Alli
What an amazing season this young guy has had for us! will be hoping to keep him with us but with a season like this, i would expect some teams to show an interest

Transfers
I can finally say i have a great enough sqquad that i can achieve the top 10 again this season

Fixtures
I feel this has been a great Pre-Season and even with the two defeats, we still put up a great effort in every match

[TheOtherSpecialOne]

Finishing 9th last season was a huge achievement indeed! Your transfers look very great especially Veltman who has the potential to be a very good player in the future, that pre-season is pretty impressive indeed. Good luck in the new season

Overall

Transfers
Now with the updated Transfer Window at the end of the Summer Window, i was sad to lose Dele Alli but after he expressed his interest to join Chelsea and would not go to reasoning with me then i felt i had no choice but to sell him, i would liked to have got more for him but we will move on .
Ronaldinho was someone i tried to bring in last season and feel he will add the experienced head that the side does lack this season with some of the older players going but all the players that have come in will be great for this club

Barclays Premiership
I am not surprised to be 17th after theses 3 tough games to start off the season but we will still put up a good effort in each match

Capital One Cup
Was a lot closer that i would have liked but now we move on and we face Yeovil who once again we should beat

My Player of the Month

Dejan Stojanovic
What a debut month for this lad! despite conceding the goals he has also had some great performances with pulling off some great saves including a Jack Wilshere penalty in the Arsenal match!

Overall

Barclays Premiership
An improvement this month was great and moved up a couple of places but hopefully can continue to move up as the season goes on

Capital One Cup
A nice convincing win over Yeovil Town and now we have a tie against another League One side, Sheffield United

My Player of the Month

Lewis Dunk
Played in all Premiership games this month and was a rock at the back and was a big part in only conceding 2 goals in the Premiership during September
​

 

[SamPeters]

So before i post up the results for this month i just wanted to update you on a situation this month.

Recio

Recio came to my office to demand a move for not keeping up with the first team football i promised him but i told him I would attempt to give him more chances but he said he would rather go but i said to him that he is being unprofessional.

Then came the team meeting with the players after they were unhappy with the way i treated Recio during the chat but i apologized to the squad and said I would try to resolve it in a different way next time and then i also asked Captain Lewis Dunk if he could have a chat with Recio and now everything seems fine.

Recio is a key member to this squad, he just been unlucky that some have had good performances so far which means they get a game but lets see how he does with a run in the team

​

 

[SamPeters]

Sad News!

I can't believe it i tried to resolve things as well but this is just ridiculous considering we have been doing great this season so far, i am not sure what i will do now, weather i carry on this and look for another job or start a new game again with Brighton in the Championship or maybe i will do both
​

 

[Dynamo_ZahnZee]

Squad Management is exceptionally important this time around. It's so easy to loose the dressing room if you're not carfeull. I'd say push on. Look for another job my friend and keep going

Well i did have about 4 players complaining about 1st team football so i gave them a couple games but did not perform so they were back out the side then the players started taking their side, i did have the captain on my side but could not get it changed yeah i think i will carry on but might also start another Brighton one at some point, plus i have my Burnley save as well

 

[Zlatan Lumic]

That's a load of bull...
That kinda reminds me of what is happening me on a save game with Aston Villa, the team is literally outplaying everything (doubling the rivals shots in almost any game, beating every rival in ball possession (some cases I even got almost 70%)... heck I even managed to get a 2-2 against Real Madrid beating them in shots and ball possession) yet the chairman is telling me that we're not playing well enough...¬¬

Anyway, what you've done with Brighton so far is simply terrific, if I were you I would keep on with this save file and try to get hired by another team, and in time... eventually showing Brighton how much of a blunder they made by sacking you in such an outrageous manner.

Yeah i will be keeping with this save! but like i have said i will also start with Brighton again at some point on a new game and see what i can do second time round

 

[SamPeters]

Ok so scrap this, i deleted the save by mistake as it was still named Brighton lol so i will not be commenting on this anymore but please all follow my new Brighton one!
