Btw for club updates, I hope to see more information or writing in your update than the ones me and Lewie have put in for your clubs. It makes a good read and it's better than seeing one or two liners every update
 
I feel it is a little unfair to say Marco Reus has been my worst player seeing as he hasnt played a game this season due to a 7 month injury.

Ah didn't realise I just look at player who have played quite a few games and have low average rating I aplogise
 
This season has seen a few changes of personnel in the Anderlecht camp and we’ve had a chance to catch up with the Chairman to discuss them.


First off I’ll start with the only first team player to depart which was Victor Wanyama. We lost him to Hull for 16mil but we’ve got quite a few players in that position already so it should give a chance for someone else to shine. That said we’d welcome him back with open arms should the opportunity ever present itself to us.

In terms of Signings we’ve added a lot of depth in the RB slot with Janmaat joining on a free, Meunier joining for just less than 6 mil and Corchia for 5.5mil. In Bringing in these 3 players it makes up for the departure of Gillet on a free and the sale of Cavanda to Inter last year and gives us great depth and with the Addition of Simon and to a lesser extent Meunier we’ve also managed to get in some great prospects to ensure this position remains a strength of ours for years to come.

Speaking of trying to ensure the clubs future we’ve also signed Moussa Dembele with the hope the young French Striker will continue his development here and eventually push for a first team place. The 9mil fee we paid for him is a sign of the reinvestment in the squad following the departure of Wanyama, as is the signing of Sergi Roberto from Betis for 5mil who should be Wanyama’s direct replacement for the years to come and will hopefully be able to sit alongside Malanda (13mil from Wolfsberg) to anchor the more attacking players in our squad.


The only other first team signing the club’s made is Papadopoulos from Tottenham for 13mil who once settled will slowly take over from Vidic in the heart of our defence and he’s a key signing as he is versatile enough to cover a lot of other positions for years to come.

All in all we are very excited for this season and following our new signings we are looking to the future and will hopefully see our young players develop and help turn this club into a European powerhouse instead of just a Belgian one.

We also asked him what he thought of the new season so far and he said he was brimming with confidence and wanted to point out how much of a good sign it is that they are still unbeaten in the league despite losing 2-3 key players to injuries already.

He also wanted me to let people know that he looks forward to seeing how Man City do with their 2 new chairmen and wonder if any infighting will end up affecting the squad or if they can make it work out.

Robinson would consider owning a supersuper club

Jake Robinson is here live with us today. Welcome Jake, you are hear to speak about the up and coming supersuper clubs what is your thoughts?

Well honestly I was a bit sceptical at first but I look into it and it could really work, a club with double the money and double the power sounds like a young boys dream. It would need work though and the two owners would need a healthy relationship for it to work.

Okay, would you consider owning a supersuper club?

Roma has become a part of me and I could not consider leaving Roma right now. I am happy here. I look back a year ago and no disrespect to Newcastle but my affection for Roma is much greater than it was for Newcastle. I don't mean to offend but I love Roma, I love Rome and I love the lifestyle in Italy and that is my opinion and unfortunately I cannot change that.

You didn't actually answer my question?

Ah yes... sorry, I would consider owning a mega club but only at Roma, if I was to partner up with somebody they must want to join Roma, I couldn't leave Roma now. I have built something special so far and I am enjoying every minute but if the right man came along I would consider sharing my club with someone else.

Thank you Jake, so there we have it we don't need any more questions we got the answers we need. Jake would consider owning a supersuper club or as he calls it a mega club but only if it was with his beloved Roma.​

Has Cardiff Chairman given up?
Earlier today, Cardiff Chairman Adebayo Akinfenwa yet again refused an interview with our reporters. Hie club, Cardiff City FC, has come under scrutiny in recent weeks, correction, months for their horrendous results. After ending in 16th place last season and in 17th as of the last match, after millions of dollars of investment and 2 managers, Cardiff fans will certainly be scratching their heads wondering whatever else they could do to get higher up. Money hasn't worked, a change of managers has not worked as of yet either. Right now, with Akinfenwa retaining media silence, we can only guess that he just wants to wait, both for his squad to gel and to ascertain if he wants to continue his investment in the club. He has spent a fortune investing in Cardiff City and although it has not taken too much of a dent out of his finances, he might soon decide that enough is enough and finally leave his beloved Cardiff City for greener pastures.

Unrest at Goodison

Reports from the north west state that Everton chairman Gonzalo Flores is growing frustrated at the lack of success at the club with Everton missing out on Europe last season and the currently sit around the bottom of the premier league so far this season. After investing hundreds of millions of his own money Gonzalo Flores has seen no return from Everton as they have consistently fallen short at the final hurdle and have been unable to push on to become a bigger team.

At the moment we are unsure as to what Gonzalo Flores is planning to do but it has been rumoured he has been in contact with another chairman to discuss the possibility of joining as a joint chairman and set up something that has been labelled as a "super club" by other chairman and those in the media.

Robinson reveals clubs future

Last night Jake Robinson revealed that he would be interested in being part of a dual ownership but stated it would have to be with Roma. But has he gone against his word as our sources suggest that he is looking to sell Roma to be part of this new trend involving two owners at a club. Jake Robinson refused to comment on the matter and he said that he hasn't got time to comment and had a phone call to make. We did get this from the owner last night though.

"I admit I have spoken to clubs, I've had chats with clubs like Santos, Real Madrid and Liverpool to speak to their owners about the possibility of dual ownership. I wasn't impressed and then I sent a text to Gonzalo from Everton and we had a very good chat but he has a good side at Everton and whether he would want to leave I don't know. All I know is after we had a good chat and spoke I got to know Gonzalo better and my previous opinion of the Everton owner has now gone, he's a good man."

With these comments it looks like Gonzalo and Jake have moved on from past problems which included Jake's controversial move to Roma and the argument on who would finish higher in the Premier League and could make a shock move to begin working together. But will they be able to form as one now? And will they be able to take a club from rags to riches?​
 
Update should be out tomorrow night but may delay it if there's not more updates from previous update there is only 5 out of 15 that have done updates, I still need to do mine which I will get done tonight but it seems there's a lot less interest in this now unless it's to do with transfers
 
Julebokk your inbox is full but thank you for your commitment and good luck in future


Julebokk has left the game due to having no time for the game. Real Betis now had no owner


I think I'm going to allow a few people to join the game to bring up numbers especially that there is now a super super club which means there's one less team to own
 
Hey will release a press update tomorrow.

..Currently hooked on ESO...**** my life! :/

Major changes at Everton FC

In a move that had been rumoured before, Gonzalo Flores has announced that he will be pulling out of Everton FC as he looks to move his money elsewhere into a club that will give him what he believes a better return for his investment. After discussions with the current AS Roma chairman Gonzalo Flores has been able to invest into the club to gain 50% ownership of the club and help with the running of the club. It is unsure as whether this will bring any change to AS Roma as Gonzalo looks to bring his own strong opinions to the club.

Both owners do of course have a history with the two having a quite public spat when Jake Robinson moved from Newcastle United to AS Roma. It is believed that during this spat both chairmen were able to move past their feud and from it has come a partnership in which Gonzalo Flores has now joined Jake at the club he previously condemned him for joining. This is what Gonzalo Flores had to say on his controversial move.

"While I have enjoyed my time in England I feel as though I could not get anymore out of Everton and I must move on to keep progressing. I wish Everton all the best with their new owner and I hope to see them one day in the champions league. With AS Roma I am able to work with a new friend in football and pool our resources to create a club that are able to compete in all competitions. I am excited about the prospect of working in Italy and hope to be able to do so for at least the near future."

Gonzalo's vision excites Robinson​

As confirmed by Everton earlier today, Gonzalo Flores has sold football club Everton and has bought 50% of Jake Robinson's Roma, they apparently spoke late last night and they acted swiftly to get the deal done. Now we see whether Jake and Gonzalo can work together or whether the old feud between them both will spark again although Jake is adamant that it is part of the past and won't happen again.

Jake spoke to us today and seemed extremely delighted about the deal "I am happy today because I get to work with my new friend Gonzalo and I look forward to introducing him to Roma." When asked about how the conversation began he replied "I was looking for someone who I could trust and Gonzalo is one of those men, we didn't see eye to eye before but I knew he is a football man and he is very passionate about football and that is where we have the same similarity. So I spoke to him and it was a very long and productive conversation. We talked football for maybe around six hours and not so much about the financial side as we trust each other." After Jake carried on talking about other things such as available players, owners ambition and the support he will get from Gonzalo, we will now put down the rest of the interview and see what Jake had to say.

"He shares the same ambition as me" Jake said when asked about whether their expectations are different to one or another "We both want Roma to be successful domestically as well as being a dominant team in Europe and we both want to invest our money to make that possible."

"He will help me and I will help him, at times I have been too happy at buying too many players and he will help me, we are going to work together to build a good balanced squad and not go crazy on the transfer front, we have spoke at great lengths on which positions need improving and what needs to be sorted out. We came to an agreement that we are top heavy in the centre of midfield so we have made available John Obi Mikel.View attachment 347923
I was reluctant about wanting Mikel to leave as he is a brilliant player but we have a lot of players in that position and Javi Martinez is a better option as he offers more versatility than Mikel does. My valuation of the player is 20m as we signed him for around that region and we want to make up that money to avoid any loss. We also have made available Koke
View attachment 347922
Gonzalo and I like Koke he is an exceptional player and will be one of the best midfielders in the world but with Ikay Gundogan in the side and wonderkid Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg we felt we didn't want to affect Koke's growth as a player, I believe he will be one of the best midfielders in the world and won't go for a cheap price but he is available for negotiation.

We have also made available Radja Nainggolan and Branislav Ivanovic, we again were reluctant for these players to leave but with a large enough squad as it is we feel that we need to trim down the squad."

Jake got carried away with talking about his squad so we didn't put in every line but he said but he is happy with his squad whether any player leaves or if it remains the same as he believes the squad is strong enough to challenge for the title, he also went on to say that these players may become unavailable in January if the performances are too good as he believes it would be stupid to then let them go.

The transfer window opens in three months (TOMORROW) and as always clubs can make bids for players at any point (only to human controlled clubs) but they will have to wait until the next transfer window for them to be completed.
 
I'll be on sparsely over the next 4 days or so, but I'll try to create some controversy where possible, keep things ticking over
