Gutted the takeover didn't lead to billions of cash to spend tbh! Keep it up. Harper looks solid.

Yeah was hoping for some decent money to spend, hopefully soon though. Harper has been superb, long may it continue.

Appreciate the interest mate, thank you. :D
 
Haven't been on this website in a good while but I just read through this at work and it's fantastic!

Well done so far, keep it up :)

An brilliant unbeaten month started with a superb win over Barcelona 'B'. This was followed by an even better three points against Alcorcon, which came after us beating C.E Sabadell in the Copa Del Rey. How we didn't win against Granada 'B' was down to their keeper, who was in outstanding form. We did however throw away a two goal lead against Lugo, but I can't be too harsh on the lads who have been in excellent form.

Take your pick of the outstanding performers for us this season. Jack Harper with eight goals in eight or Alex Pritchard who's adapted to life very well in Spain since his move from Tottenham.

The two draws at the end of the month means we slip down to 2nd place, but we are still unbeaten in the league and have a much healthier goal difference than the teams around us.

 
Lionel Zouma looks like a great free pick up. I was actually watching him at Deportivo, should do well for you!

Yeah he's a beast. Though he's ruined by wage budget allowance, but definitely a risk worth taking. :D
 
Everyone's dominating - That system looks like it is working a treat! You guys look good for promotion at this rate - good luck.

Cheers mate, appreciate the support. Yeah I made a slight tweak defensively and the squad have been superb. Hopefully it will continue. :D

October was a very hectic month for my small squad, but again we impressed for the majority of it, with only a poor performance in our last game against Numancia the only downside. The highlight for me though was the win against Lugo in the Copa Del Rey 3rd round, which means we'll be in the hat with the big boys.

My squad are still performing at a consistent level and I think they are beginning to believe that we could be on the verge of something very special this season.

With our unbeaten run coming to an end and despite leading for a couple weeks of the month, we end October in 2nd place behind leaders Osasuna.

 
Hi Lads, I'm still very much involved in this save/story, but due to a new job and pre-season beginning for the team I manage, I've been struggling for time to play FM. How dare real life get in the way!!! :P

Hopefully be able to update this week. Also, thanks to the peeps who mentioned my story in the awards too. Really appreciate the support as it keeps me motivated to update and play on, like it does to the others I'm sure.

Cheers.
 
This is probably my favourite one out of the lot. Great read, also a young Scotsman banging the goal in helps.

Wow, thank you mate, it's an honour to be recognised as one of your favourite stories, especially as there are so many other brilliant ones running too. Hopefully get some updates done over next few days. :D

A good month as we secure ten points from the five games we played. Wins against Deportivo, Alaves and Murcia shows that we can compete with the bigger teams in the league. We did get well beaten by Osasuna who scored two quick goals either side of the interval, meaning we slip further behind them in the table.

There's interest from Hearts and Rangers in Jack Harper, but I'd only let him leave if either club stump up and pay his one million pound release fee.

We are in a good position currently and with both Barcelona B and Castilla sitting in 4th and 5th respectively, we are looking in a decent position to hopeful secure automatic promotion.

 
Any updates coming for this mate?

Hi Mate, I'm not sure to be honest, I've been so busy of late, with my own pre season and new coaching job, that I've lost a little bit of a spark for it. I'm hoping to have some free time soon and will play on and see it rekindles my interest, if not I may start another save, but not do a story about it.

Appreciate everyone's interest and hope I haven't disappointed anyone, as I really was enjoying the save, but with real life football and new job I lost the passion to even play FM.

Keen to get people's feedback, even if it's to help get the buzz back for playing the game.

Cheers. :)
