Good going so far - how long do you think it will to win the Champions League. You are close to being competitive methinks..............
Im thinking at least 10 seasons, Its all about the draw at the moment and building up my reputation so i get better seedings, A new stadium would help as we sell ours out a lot at the moment and we only rent it, Each year on frees i can add around 5 quality players to the squad and let some of the poorer quality players leave so the squad as a whole in the last 2 years has risen dramatically, I think the best indicator was we were seen as favourites against Red Star and Anderlecht so we must be doing something right! Just about to play the 2019 qualifiers now

I hope i can get the ROI job soon as hes never called up David ***'s! Who is now too old to play for the youth teams and Coughlan will be too next season and they could easily make the team!

Well this was by far his best season ever! Can you believe it was 6 seasons ago i got him in the Youth Intake while we were fighting for the First Division Playoff spots!

Player of the Year - James Casserly

View attachment 471272

I brought him in on my first season, as you can see hes not rated very highly anymore but he can do me a job when asked, Hes nowhere near the first team but still played 34 games with that sort of rating he is the John O'Shea of Limerick FC.

Young Player of the Year - Jeremie Husser

View attachment 471271

An Outstanding season for the young French man, He is what we have been missing a secondary attacking player who puts 20 plus goals in to the back of the net behind ***.

Were a little short of money now after those upgrades but the increase in attendance and a little more Champions League money next season should surely see the board build our own stadium! Tonkin Towers has a nice ring to it!​

Season Expectations

View attachment 470991

We dont get much to spend this season as most of the money we got from the Champions League went on training facilities.

7 Players are Released

View attachment 470990

The first 3 leave because of their age then Agiyiri couldnt get a work permit and the other 3 were not getting near the first team.

Transfer History

View attachment 470989

So we dont spend any money on any players again but definetly add quality to the squad.

James Perch is the only luxury signing as the rest of them will definitely play major parts this season for the squad.
What do you guys think of the additions? I remember someone on FM Base used Feruz a bit and he did well but i just cant remember who!​

Dortmund have won nothing really only one German Cup in 8 years and no Bundesliga titles.
And finally Roma are last years Serie A runners up but only have an Italian Cup as there only silverware since 2012.
