Sunderland end of season review.
Not many positives were to be had this season. Despite changes made during the summer, the club failed to live up to expectations. Sunderland narrowly avoided relegation by three points, with only 12 points picked up in the league since January. If changes are not made this summer, the club will once again be in a fight for survival.
Sunderland did not also perform well in the Carling Cup or FA Cup either exiting both competitions at the third round.
The only real hope came in the form of the Europa league where the club were narrowly beaten Quarter finalists. Sunderland showed that they were no pushovers in Europe with convincing wins over Zenit, OM and Wolfsburg respectively. The club also benefitted financially from their European adventure to a point where we will be able to compete in the transfer market.
The clubs player of the season was Everton Ribeiro with no one else coming close.

Ribeiro helped the teams cause with 14 goals and 13 assists in 52 games over all competitions, the 27 year old has been pursued by Bayern Munich all season and we now have a fight on our hands to keep him at the club.
The club would also like to announce its summer transfer list:
***** Caballero

Top quality keeper, with great mental stats, starter for any team.
David Ospina

£500k
Never given a chance here at Sunderland, still a quality keeper.
Carlos Zambrano

£3m
Wasted talent here at Sunderland, could do a great job at any team.
Billy Jones

£1.5m
Consistently consistent, has been a great servant for the club.
Jonathan Silva

Would prefer to keep him at the club, but he needs to play at a higher level. High PA.
Bryan Oviedo

West Ham United - May Update
May would be the month where our European fate would be decided, with 3 games remaining to try and climb into the top 7 and secure a place in the Europa League next season. Realistically we would need to get plenty of points from our first two games against Watford and Middlesbrough, with a trip to Man City on the final day of the season unlikely to yield a result.
We began the month with an important trip to Vicarage Road to play a Watford side also aiming for one of the three Europa spots available. Thankfully we tore them apart in the first half, racing into a 4-0 lead through 4 goals from Welbeck! There was no chance of them coming back from there, and an entertaining game eventually ended 5-2 to us with Meyer getting our other goal.
We then played struggling Middlesbrough in a TV game under the lights at the Olympic Stadium, in a game we expected to win and take another huge step towards Europe in. Goals either side of half-time from Welbeck and Zárate ensured we took away the 3 points here as well in an strong 2-0 win.
Going into the final game at Man City, we knew European football was all but secured but we would need a point to finish 6th which would be a huge bonus. We went behind in the first half to a Henderson goal before strikes from Welbeck and Jiménez put us ahead going into the final 10 minutes! Unfortunately Aguero ended our hopes of a win but we left the game with the point we needed...
So with 7 points gained from our final 3 games we ended the season in 6th place, and crucially securing European football next season! Huge credit must go to Roberto Martinez, who after coming in midway through the season has turned the team away from mid-table and put us into the top-6, where we believe we belong.
Hammer of the Year
Our best player of May and indeed the whole season was Danny Welbeck, who's 23 league goals have made a huge difference to our season and fired us into Europe. There is no doubt he will continue to be a key player for us in the coming years.
__________________________________________
Transfer List
Adrian GK - £2M
Top-class Spanish goalkeeper who's been edged out of the starting 11 here but would be a brilliant number 1 at any side in the league looking for a new keeper.
Cheikhou Kouyaté CDM - £1M
Battling Senegalese CDM who doesn't really fit into the system here but could do a great job elsewhere.
Joe Ledley CM - £1M
Very good all-round ball-winning midfielder again with very low wages who could do a job at several teams in the division was first choice here up to January.
Siem de Jong CAM - £5M
Attacking midfielder with brilliant mental stats who could be the focal point of many teams in the league, very low wages as well.
Andy Carroll FW - £2M
Prolific striker at this level who's a bit wasted here on the bench and could easily score plenty of goals at any side looking for a number 9.
Free Transfers
Glen Johnson RB
Mathieu Flamini CDM
Despite ageing both are still very much good enough for the division and could easily walk into any bottom half team in the league or provide depth for others.
For further incentive to take these two, if you take Johnson on a free you can get £2M off any of the transfer-listed players. Furthermore, if you take both players you can get £4M off! First come first served.

Newcastle Transfer List
Eugene Konopolyanka - Extremely talented winger, doesn't fit our formation, didn't play well as LM, cheap wages (35k) - £23.5m
Rémy Cabella - Talented CAM, again, doesn't fit the 4-4-2 formation of Jokanovic, same wages as Konopolyanka - £20m
Oscar Hijemark - Useful CM, I don't like him, could be good for a lower BPL team - £1.5m
Anyone else you want, just ask!

Man Utd End of Season Post
View attachment 959915
Man Utd finally win the League title after some mega spending but we fall 1 goal short of a treble as Chelsea salvage some pride from there horror season.
Premiership
View attachment 221875
Draws with Tottenham & Watford but the title was secured with big wins against Stoke, Leicester & sweetest of all at Anfield
FA Cup Final
View attachment 221874
If you cant beat them then kick them off the park! Both wing backs were taken off injured while we were 2-1 ahead and in a close game like this loosing both wing backs clearly had a big impact on our final match of the season.
The Squad
View attachment 221873
Muller managed 61 games getting 18 goals in the process. Falcao and more shockingly Pogba led the goal rush at Old Trafford with Mata keeping his traditional player of the year award with Falcao & Hummels as usual doing there bit. Youngsters Carl Scope & Youri Tielemans starting to make more of an impact.
The Summer
With another summer upon us the question is what must we do to take the next step and win the Champions League. I have my No1 target in mind and he wont do much damage to my budget. A few c2c deals have been discussed as well.
Transfer List
As usual i'll listen to bids on anyone but here's the clubs transfer list
Transfer List
M Rashford £2m
T Mensah £1m
Free
GK J Pereira
DL Reece James
MR D Mitchell
MC Joe Rothwell
DR Saidy Janko
DR Sadik El Fitouri

End of this year's Chairman Game!
Hey guys, still no internet at home, currently typing this up in work.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem it will be on until next Monday with there being a delay in the order; those of you who have me on steam will see it has been over a week since I was last online.
So as a result I think it best to end the game here, as FM16 will be out in a few weeks anyway.
We made it to the end of the latest season at least so it wasn't left hanging.
I want to thank all of those who participated throughout, it has been fun.
I'll be back in January with the latest installment of my Chairman Game!
Thanks again guys!

Got to love the support this thread has! Haha.
Sure, I dont mind if you guys want to keep this going..Znik and Josh if yous want to PM each other and discuss who's going to take charge.
Who knows, maybe after a season away, I'll be in better shape to do a further season if FM16 isn't out by then.

Awesome!
ok as me and znik hash out the details use this as an opportunity to think of any changes we might want installed before we re-start.
We'll do the awards tonight so start thinking about your chairman of the year and if anyone wants out, pm me and if relegated teams want to carry on with a new team stick it on the thread or pm me
So if all goes well we'll sim up to the first of july tonight (with budgets on zero) and update finances so anyone who has anyone on loan or has already agreed a deal to bring a player in the summer stick it on the thread
think that covers everything! cheers all

Depending on the support this has to keep going, I would be up to taking over Southampton for next season.
