It shows how Scottish football is seen after all my success in recent years i get offered an interview for a team that are relegation candidates this season in England! In the end they took on Rafa Benitez after i turned them down.

Oct/Nov Fixtures

A torrid time as we lose to Dortmund twice and then drop more points in the league, the only saving grace was beating Tel Aviv to set up a last matchday were us, PSV and Dortmund could all still qualify.

14 points clear but Inverness have a game in hand on us but Celtic are still miles of the pace this season after such a good campaign last year.

Before you start a story play it for at least 6 months gathering the relevant screenshots and so forth and then you know at least you will stick with it, I played around 3 seasons while at work near the beginning were i played the game but didnt have any internet to post any updates so i was miles behind the story at one point but im still say around 9 months behind? I try to post one update each day so the story stays fresh to people but dont always have to play fm as i have some updates saved up being so far ahead, hope it helps
 
Hi great story. I play a rangers save every year and I do very well. I dont have such a strict signing policy as yourself so therefore feel I sign a better quality of player but still struggle 2 get 2 the quarter finals in europe. What do you think is the main area of yoir success?? Your players, tactic, or keeping them fresh?? If.it is your tactic do you change frequently or keep things relatively the same each year? The help would be much appreciated cheers

Tactics have had to change a bit as the patches have made some of them utterly useless! I would say freshness helps a lot some of my key players may only play 6 games in 2 months around the knockout stages because of dominating the league missing upwards of 5 or 6 league games, Im guessing in some small way it may help that so many of my players are from the same country and even from the same youth academy may help with familiarity. thats all i can think of if it helps

Cardiff Make Poor Offer For Philips

View attachment 427089

Why do all the clubs who sign my players do this? Any of my key players and they put in offers for less than their value! They must be having a laugh even with the likes of Gauld and Butter! Newcastle offered ?4million for Gauld even though hes valued at over ?6million and surely worth ?12milion plus!

Dec/Jan Fixtures

Thank god we managed to rattle off 7 straight wins in the league after dropping more points at the beginning of the month, This could be our worse performance in a few seasons.

A mere 11 points clear with a game in hand as Celtic have one of their best runs in recent memory.

Winter Transfer Window History

View attachment 427084

So the only player to come in was the young French defender while Petrie left for a reasonable fee having only 6 months left on his contract and refusing to sign a new deal, Hanley had gone further down the pecking order and was the clubs highest paid player on ?47k a week so i couldnt afford to have him not playing. He was 31 by the point i sold him so i think we had his best years and Cardiff offered a reasonable fee after a lot of negotiating.
PS - Cardiff are paying him ?57k a week!!!!!!!!!!

Champions League 1st Knockout rnd

They can only manage a mere consolation goal after a brilliant counter attacking display sees us put the tie to bed with an impressive 6-3 on aggregate score.

Good to see this is still going well!

Maybe just stick to the youth side of the challenge so signing players from anywhere but are under 23/21. if you aren't finding too many good Scottish players.

Yes agree with that, Generally only sign young regens anyway, ones with a good resale value, Im trying to not sign a foreigner if i have a good youngster coming through, ie no point in signing a striker as i have Butter and Robertson and dont want to bother them at all!

Former Barca youth setup player Dongou has been the key to all of Benficas success and he looked like he had put them into a strong position for the second leg until our hero Butter scored a late equalizer.

One of the most assured performances our side has ever had as we dominate Benfica in Scotland and go through to the Champions League Final!

Early! I thought it took too long at 9 seasons in, lol, Yeah the strikers are beasts at the moment hope i manage to keep hold of them for their whole careers, My 3 main aims i still want to achieve are see the likes of Gauld, Butcher, Dow and Souttar retire, pretty much all of my original players, Build a new stadium (Hopefully named after me) and finally reach the top of the hall of fame on all 4 fronts. Not too many goals then!

Top Goalscorer - David Butter - 35 Goals

View attachment 426744

At 21 years old he already has 113 goals for the club and is surely going to beat the all time record of 157 goals for the club.

Player of the Year - Ryan Gauld

View attachment 426743

Hes simple a legend for this club, He had 49 assists this season and is only 26! Hes played almost 250 league games for us as well.

Young Player of the Year - Jim Robertson

Hes not far behind Butter and had another good season scoring 32 goals and has 94 league goals himself for us already.

Season Expectations

I transferred all of my available dosh into the wage budget as there are plenty of decent free transfers about, I brought in 7 players in the off season, 6 of them on free transfers and one of them a loan with a fee involved.

Here are My Fav 3 Transfers

Gareth Bale - On Loan

View attachment 426672

Oh yes who would have thought the world most expensive player would one day run out for Dundee United.

Allan Campbell - CM

View attachment 426671

The only decent young Scot i could pick up on a bosman ruling as Scotland start to progress more and more of the decent players dont want to come to us.

Angel Luis - DLR

View attachment 426669

A very good young Spanish player who can play both full back roles with Robertson and Jack not looking what they were in past seasons.

The Others

View attachment 426668View attachment 426667View attachment 426666View attachment 426664

All decent free transfer regens with plenty of potential and resale value!

Ryan Dow Wants To Leave

View attachment 426663

I was happy to let him go as he has fallen right down the pecking order and is rated a mere half a star now at 31 but nobody wanted him come loan, transfer or free transfer! Rot in the reserves and moan it is.
