When I started this I didn't know so many people were using Eastleigh, but I decided to stick with it because it looks like I made a lot of different signings than other people. I may have finished the season about 300k in the red, but hopefully the board remembers that I brought RESULTS. (note, I tried uploading thumbnails by using the board stuff here, but it resulted in my posts continuing to be eaten. I'll see if I can fix it later)

Team: Eastleigh

Season: 2011-2012
League: BSS
Final Position: 1st
Cups: FA Cup: 3rd Round, FA Trophy: 3rd Round
Average Attendance: 549
Biggest Win: 5-0 (BSS: 3 times, vs Eastbourne Boro, Weston-Super-Mare, and Truro; FA Cup: vs Bitton)
Biggest Defeat: 0-4 vs MK Dons (Friendly)
Top Goalscorer: Jamie Slabbler (34. That's right, the guy who was already on my roster to start. Could not afford to extend-resign him at the end of the year, so the goals will need to come from somewhere else)
Most Assists: Ryan Double (20, who came in on loan on the last year of his contract but didn't want to sign with me)
Highest Average Rating: Mounir El Haimour (7.48 -- an amazing free transfer that came out of nowhere)
Fans Player of the Year: Mounir El Haimour (18 goals, 19 assists, 42 appearances)

Final League Table

Maidenhead were overachievers all season (dude rightfully won manager of the year) but sadly lost out on promotion in the playoff by one goal. As my record indicates, the BSS did not prove to be much of a challenge My biggest issue was keeping players focused.

Season Transfers

I got some good players on loan and was able to transfer in some key components, especially El Haimour, Hartley, and both my Center Backs. Interesting that I was never able to get as consistent production out of my strikers as I was with the two guys who were already on my team: Slabbler and White. I missed out on some "name" midfielders apparently (according to this thread), but Anderson was a valuable midseason signing. Hopefully this team can grow together and do well in the BSP next year -- even if loan players like Double and Isgrove won't be back.

Season Best XI

I had to sell 90% of my 1st team to reduce wages, and save me from going bankrupt, I made the mistake of re-signing them above the wage cap, ive found if your under the wage cap the board injects cash to keep you afloat, if your above it, your on your own hehe, so this season was avoiding relegation with bare bones, thats not too hard atleast |)

p.s. I couldnt bring myself to offloading Hutchison even though he took up a third of the wages cap hehe <3

A great start to the season saw me well clear at the top of the league in January but faded badly to finish 9th only winning 6 of my last 24 games. On a positive note I have now got Arsenal as my parent club.

What annoys me is that 99% of all the trial days players dont even bother to go in to contract negotiations with me. I always put all the trial day players on my shortlist. Is that a reptuation problem, that they will not sign with blyth?

With 10 games to go I thought I would do well to make the playoffs but I won my last 7 games and the teams above me messed up badly. Had no transfer or wage budget so only managed to bring in 4 players but the performed wonders scoring over 100 league goals for the second season in a row. The board are expanding the ground by 4,000 seats but I will be playing at Steel Park while the work is completed.

ps if I survive in the premier league next season it will be a miracle.

Decent first season, delighted to get Jamil Adam in for 2 years halfway through the season, but lost Declan Edwards halfway through the year to Droylsden, so need a new striker for next year to play with Adam.
Board are building a new stadium so finances look like being a bit tight but oh well, onwards and upwards.
 
The team was riddled with injuries all year, but having two games in hand down the stretch and a favorable schedule to close out the year proved the difference.  It went down to the wire, and if this were last year 3 teams would have had enough points to win the Championship (86, an unusually low number for BSP).<span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium;"><font color="#000080"><font size="3"><br><br>Team: </font></font></span>Eastleigh<br> <font size="3"><span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium"><font color="#000080">Season:  </font></span></font>2012-2013<br> <span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium;"><font size="3"><font color="#000080">League: </font></font></span>BSP<br> <span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium"><font size="3"><font color="#000080">Final Position: </font></font></span>1st<br> <span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium"><font size="3"><font color="#000080">Cups: </font></font></span>FA CUP: 3rd Round (L to Chelsea 1-4), FA Trophy: Semi Final (L to BSS Working 1-2)<br> <span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium"><font size="3"><font color="#000080">Average Attendance:</font></font></span> 1922<br> <span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium"><font size="3"><font color="#000080">Biggest Win: </font></font></span>7-0 @ Fleetwood<br><span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium;"><font size="3"><font color="#000080">Best Win: </font></font></span><span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium"><font size="3"><font color="#000080"></font></font></span>4-0 vs Burnley<br> <span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium"><font size="3"><font color="#000080">Biggest Defeat: </font></font></span>Three Goals (5 different opponents)<br><span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium"><font size="3"><font color="#000080">Worst Loss: </font></font></span>0-3 at Hayes & Yeading<br> <span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium"><font size="3"><font color="#000080">Top Goalscorer: </font></font></span>Michael O'Hallaran (27)<br> <span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium"><font size="3"><font color="#000080">Most Assists: </font></font></span><span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium"></span>Michael O'Hallaran (16)<br> <span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium"><font size="3"><font color="#000080">Highest Average Rating: </font></font></span><span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium"></span>Michael O'Hallaran (7.26)<br> <span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium"><font size="3"><font color="#000080">Fans Player of the Year: </font></font></span><span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium"></span>Michael O'Hallaran (was there any doubt?)<br> <br> Sadly I am VERY frustrated because I cannot resign any of my staff.  What's worse, I cannot sign any new staff.  No matter who I offer and no matter how much, I cannot get within 25 pounds of their asking contract price.  Even for bottom of the barrel staff that I would NEVER hire.

Another good season , back to back titles, and two job offers which i quickly rejected. The team is playing well and hopefully i can stay clear of relegation in my first season in league two and then push on. Turned professional due to entering the football league and i have youth facilities being updated as well as a new stadium, unfortunately my funds are very low... therefore this season could be a struggle.
