Season 26 Review


Aberdeen's treble completes there rise from 4th in the Scottish game to the top of the European game and at a perfect time just days before my birthday AKA FM15 day i felt it was time to step down as manager. Well kind of. I'll be taking a "Director of Football" style role where i will holiday through the season but still have full control of the transfers and team selection ect. Due to this updates will change to 6 monthly. I hope to keep this going for a decade or so to see these youngsters through there career

SPL - Winners
Scottish Cup - Winners
Scottish League Cup - Semi Final
Champions League - Winners


Didnt take the league cup Semi Finals defeat as seriously at the time as it looks now. It could have been a perfect season with 4 trophys from 4. Still i wont complain about dominating the SPL. Winning the Scottish Cup beating both the Old Firm on the way then beating the dominating side of the current era in Man Utd in the Champions League final






SPL Review


Aberdeen moved on from winning the title last year to dominate the league this season.
Dundee Utd had a good run to the Champions League Quarter Finals but poor back in Scotland.
Rangers move up to the automatic Champions League position to go with there run to the Europa League last 32. Celtic won the League Cup to make up for 4th place and a Champions League last 16 run. Hearts retained 5th spot getting closer to the top 4. Motherwell also kept there place in the top 6. Hibs ended just outside the top 6 very little between them & Motherwell. Dunfermline are back in there favorite 8th place. St Mirren's awful form goes on for another year but 9th which was about there best position for the season.. Forfar were unlucky to end up in 10th after almost sneaking into the top 6. Dundee were another side unlucky to fall down the table after challenging for the top 6 but comfortably saw off Berwick in the play off. Inverness The highland side really stunk this year and deserve to go back to the Championship and are replaced by highland rivals Ross County

Club Rankings
A great year for Scottish Football. Aberdeen are up to 4th in Europe. Dundee Utd also moving up to 6th. Celtic improve to 12th, Rangers drop well down to 21st while St Mirren just stay in the top 50 at 50th. Hibs 62nd and Hearts 74th look to make a big step into the top 50.



 
Looking forward to what you have planned for FM15. Is it going to be nearly the same as what you have done here?

Totally have not decided yet. had a few ideas and suggestions but will play around with it for a while first then see what tickles my fancy. Im mega bust with work till new year after this weekend so i've got time to think it over
 
Stonecold, that was an amazing story, have followed this for months as a lurker (I do the same on aberdeen-mad, always lurk, never post), but as it's came to an end you've managed to get me to actually sign and and post my thanks. Bravo, superb, turn it into a movie and go get your oscar.
