I think this is the right time to move on and you should go to Man Utd. I know this kind of 'generous' board can be very frustrating. But remember the game may become too easy at United ;) I'd pack my suitcase and leave London.

Cheers guys - I am still mulling it over. I have been offered the UTD job with £120 million to spend, but am yet to accept. With Markovic going back to Liverpool after his loan and having no money to spend I am not that excited about continuing with Palace. I will see how I feel next I play though.

I think you should remain at Palace. You've done well with the little you have so far. Hopefully someone will come an takeover the club and provide you with the finances you need; just like in my managerial story. Keep doing what you've been doing. And by the way, it's just your 3rd year at Palace, remember??? It's a 5 year plan

Yeah a takeover would be great - not sure how likely that is though...

Am going in to my 4th year... thanks for pointing out in giant red bold italic underlined writing that it is a 5 year plan, but I have achieved all I wanted to do in the 5 years in just 3.

I will update later in the week with what direction this goes in !!!!

Thanks everyone for following, this has been great fun doing my first ever FM story and even better that some of you have followed from the start!
 
Don't leave Palace for Utd. There's many players you can replace Markovic with. And think of all the money Palace will get for playing in CL. They will soon be yours to spend
 
I would like to see you remain at Palace, Just read through whole story and really enjoyed it!
 
Stay at palace, you can achieve great things in time!
Why not build you own dynasty to challenge united?
A season of champions league money and another decent finish in season 4 and you will surely get decent tb/wb. You may get some of it in jan if you can get through the group stage,
Good luck
 
Stay at Palace and have them rival the top sides! Leaving for United just turns the game into easy mode.
 
stay at Palace for at least one more season. You took them into the UCL, now reap the rewards. Dip your toes into the water in the UCL then youll know whether your tactics work for European football.

On a side note, im playing with Palace atm, and finishde 9th in my first season. The only problem ive had is our away form has been awful in the time ive spent at the club and have only won 4 games on the road in the league. Hopefully using one of your tactics will help address the problem.
 
I think you should go ahead and move on to bigger things, and I don't think it will be a story killer. Many paths to go with the story will you be able to handle a bigger club? Will Palace survive without you? Either way great story so far and look forward to see where this goes.
 
It is officially decision time - I am loading up with the decision of staying with palace or going to Man Utd.

Sorry for the delay, sometimes real life catches up with you after excessive use of FM. :)

Deacon commits future to Crystal Palace
After a week away from playing Football Manager I have decided to turn down the Man Utd job offer. I decided that now we're moving back to 39,455 capacity Selhurst Park, after a year at Stamford Bridge waiting for the work to be completed, with Champions League football to enjoy that I would be silly to leave after making such huge progress in the last 3 years.

Europes Elite come in for Babacar
View attachment 297921View attachment 297920
Since signing Babacar, he has become one of our best players. However with such tight financial constraint at the club going into the Champions League I might be tempted to cash in if I can create a bidding war between some of the richest clubs in the game.

​
 
It's really frustrating when you know you've done well with the club and the board gives you like 3 milion. Glad you stayed at Palace, good luck in the CL.

For pre-season this year we have arranged some tough games against strong European teams. We have some work to do with the squad going into the Champions League, we will need to add some defenders who can challenge for a starting place.

Lazar Markovic loan from Liverpool
We had Markovic last season on loan and are delighted to have extended his loan for another season. Liverpool have been struggling and I am surprised that they've agreed to loan him out again but this was an important deal to do seeing as our transfer budget is so low.

Khouma Babacar future in doubt
We have a limited budget this season and a few gaps to fill in the squad. We need to add depth as we're competing in extra competition and with the interest still high in Babacar it looks more and more likely that we will cash in on the 24 year old.

Khouma Babacar £48m to Bayern Munich
We had so little to spend and it looked like it was to be too much of a struggle building on last seasons success. With so many clubs interested in him it could of effected morale by forcing him to stay. We were able to use 75% of what we got to bring in new players so I will be looking for some who have proven pedigree or massive potential.

We will be looking to bring in 3/4 players to add to our squad.

Selhurst Park Expansion Completed
After spending a year ground sharing at Stamford Bridge we have now moved back to Selhurst Park which has been increased to 39,455 ready for a new season. Hopefully we can get through the qualification phase of the Champions League so we can reap the financial rewards that come with hosting some big European nights.

After selling Babacar we were able to use the money to invest in adding to the squad. Harry Kane returns to Selhurst Park after a successful loan spell a few years ago as he is no longer in the plan for Tottenham.
