End of Season Update

Time to bring to and end the nervewrecking wait to see who'd be crowned champions, who'd go down and who won the cups! Here are the matches!


Arsenal have won the league! For the first time in ages! Much thanks to the goals of Messi, the Gunners came out on top. Man Utd was the only team to challenge, with an impressive 80 point tally. In 3rd, Tottenham crown a very successfull season with a Champions League spot, an impressive achievement. Joining them in the CL are Man City, who beat Chelsea by a single point. An Europa League spot also goes to Newcastle, who are back where they belong after a very good year. Much thanks to the goals of Paco Alcacer, the Magpies are back in Europe!

At the bottom end, it was a very tight affair. QPR could not save their spot, as they could not recover from a poor start to the season. Watford also had a shocking year, after such an immpressive display last year. Lastly, heartbreak for Wolves, who were only 2 points away from 15th place Crystal Palace. A single point saved Sunderland and Swansea from relegation, as the Wolves make their way into the Championship.

A thrilling final between West Ham and Newcastle ended 2-2, and had to be decided on penalties. In the end, heartbreak for the Magpies, who got both their centrebacks sent off. Hiljemark and Halilovic missed the deciding penalties as West Ham do the cup double!

Europa League:

Spurs go from a good season to a great one, by adding an European title! They beat the German giants, Bayern, in the final thanks to a Memphis Depay goal. In a tight game, Ben Davies and Samuel Umtiti were rock solid, and meant the title is heading to North London.

Champions League:

And what a way to end the season! An absolutely fantastic battle between two attacking teams at the Milennium Stadium in Cardiff. Arsenal had to play with 10 men for 30 + 30 minutes after Wilshere's sending off, but thanks to a hat-trick from Messi, and a Sterling goal, they could overcome Schalke anyway! Ramsey scored the deciding penalty to bring joy to every Gunner worldwide. A second consecutive Champions League win for Vincenzo Montella!

End of Season Awards + Save Game will be in a later post.

Haha remember this my prediction at the start wasnt that bad a prediction with the exception of Q.P.R and Watford! way off the mark
 
I cannot believe Spurs got into the Champions League, and beat Bayern Munich to win the Europa League! I would love to see this continue, but if this is the end then what a way to end it!
 
We survived! Crystal Palace remain in the Premier League with next to no investment this season. Great stuff! :D
 
I've already volunteered to sim the next few seasons to see what happens but i'd rather play on

Perhaps we should run a vote to see if 1st a majority want to continue, and 2nd see if someone else wants to take over the running of the game?

I'd be more than up for it as for me at least the 1st month of a new FM is testing tactics and getting used to the game rather than flying through a story or a save so i'd be happy to keep this going for at least another month maybe up till Xmas.

Unless you have already made clear what you want to do say it in a quick message, i imagine we would need someone to run it as josh is already out and im not sure Znik is carrying on.

Chairman’s Update – End of Season



What a year!!


We starting off this season with noted football pundits predicting a last placed finish – they underestimated the spirit of this club! I want to thank, on behalf of Frank de Boer and the team, all the fans for their support across the year – I can assure you that it has made a huge difference throughout this year.


10th place might not seem all that great but given where we started I am delighted with the result. We have given ourselves a solid platform to spring up the table from.


I must say I am a little surprised young Gerson didn’t feature in the end of season awards. I thought the little Brazilian maestro has had a fantastic season and it is with a heavy heart that we will watch him return to his parent club Manchester City. Also leaving us after a loan spell will be Enes Unal – he has been a revelation in his short time with us on loan from Stoke and if there is any way we can bring either of them back, be it in a permanent or temporary capacity, again next season it is something we will definitely be investigating.


Overall though this offseason shouldn’t be too hectic and I don’t know that we will be as prolific players in the transfer market. The rest of the team is relatively sorted so it will just be ensuring any gaps are filled.


Still, exciting times ahead for the boys in blue!


NSNO!


Yours in football,




BIG DUNC

End of Reign Report!

What Can I say, my reign as Manchester City Chairman comes to an end as the game may or may not carry on I however with a heavy heart will be retiring from the 2015 Chairman Game.

It has been a great pleasure to serve not only the fans of Manchester city but to add to the great game of football chairman game itself big thanks to Disclaimer especially for running it for the most part :)

Over the four years we have managed to win the premiership, the capital one cup twice and in addition get the runners up medal for the fa cup and the champions league. A moderately successful reign however losing the champions league final will always taunt me and the club of Manchester city.

One of my philosophies of Manchester city manager was to try and players on lower wages that were younger and have a greater number of english players in the squad. Unfortunaly both pellegrini and Guardialo gave out huge contracts making the wage bill just as high as we came in, despite offloading players such as Dzeko, yaya toure, kolarov, sagna, jovetic e.t.c However there is clearly better value money for the players we have now.

We have also managed to build a younger squad with more english players an impressive 7 english players in the first team squad with 4 of them 1st team players.

In terms of my transfer record dare I say I've been quite successful. With Volland, Rodriguez and Perreyra being my most successful transfers in terms of finance and performances with Balanta (in fairness broke his leg), Fernando and Daniel Sturridge being my least successful players having said that Fernando and sturridge still make decent cover.

And without further adue a final thanks to all the chairman making this game so great especially Znik, Disclaimer lewie, crchamp and Saintmotbot.

latest


 
Personally I would like to carry on, I think many people have had a good time playing this chairman game and lets be honest FM only really ever gets good around January time once all the bugs have been ironed out. However on the other hand many in this chairman game may well be spending a lot of time on FM 16 and not want to participate any more. I say go with a show of hands and lets see who is still up for this.
 
End of season out tomorrow... i guess then ill be taking a championship team in their first season
 
Oh So close. Just miss out of European football. Still a good season! Any news on when we'll get the save game link?

I would love to carry on too!

Personally I think this has died down a bit and with 16 around the corner seems odd to carry on but if everyone wants to carry on i'll run it again no prob

have to be after the 9th tho as i got an economics exam coming up :)
