After all, I get a new contract.
View attachment 83471

And now I am waiting to the player in last month of the contract to leave, so I can get more salary money available and will bring some new fresh faces at the team.

 

[Sir Ciprian Amza]

It was a season to remeber for my 20 years old striker Denis Dobra, who won Best Player of the League, Best Youngest Player of the League, Top Goalscorer and was named in the Best Team of the season. Hopefully, I can keep him very long at the club.

Some good news! Altough we have big issues with money, the board decided to grow up the wage budget from 300k/year to 388k/year!

Well done mate! 11th when you was heavily tipped for relegation is a good result. Looking forward to seeing if you can build on it next season!

 

[Sir Ciprian Amza]

Thanks, Bally. I hope to finish in top 10 again, but this time the rules of the league have changed. Now there are 20 teams and the teams between 16 and 20 relegate.

The new season finally arrives and we are ready for staying up again. We bought 5 free players and loaned another one this season.

[Sir Ciprian Amza]

We lost against Pandurii but I am more sad because this is the first game in the last 7 when we don't get more shots than the opponents and the first game in the last 9 when we didn't won the posession.

[Sir Ciprian Amza]

The winter is coming and I bought 3 new players.
View attachment 83330

The most important of my club arrives. I got an offer for my best DL from the Liga I side Dinamo Bucuresti.
View attachment 83329
View attachment 83328

I would like to keep him at least one more year, but there are 2 big issues. The possibility that Dinamo could lose the interest and the possibility that the player can get unhappy. I am not sure yet what to do. I will ask for at least 60k euro but that doesn't help to much my finances...
View attachment 83327

 

[Sir Ciprian Amza]

I sold the player for an amazing 325K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
View attachment 83325
View attachment 83326

The finances started to look more humanly.

View attachment 83324

And now I look for a young DL to take his place.

[Sir Ciprian Amza]

Other good news are that my best AML Norbert Feketics is close to regain from the injury.
