I actually sighed and fell in my seat when i seen that sky blue behind Loeffens name :(

Knew it was coming and to be honest mate, i think you did the right thing, for £50m you did well mate!! Surprised about Hugo though, i would of tried him and McCulloch rotation for a year and see who takes to it best but hey, you are £80m up!!

Sneaky with Holland also lol hopefully you might get a WC or EC, fingers crossed dude!! Keep it up!!

1000 games! Wow! I would like to see you make a big move over to England and dominate there seeing as you've done a lot in Scotland but then again, this is a story of Aberdeen! Keep it up.

There has been 2 jobs that i thought about but was never seriously going to take. Barcelona when they finished a distant 4th, Messi was 36 and Man Utd a few times when they couldnt get into the Champions League but i've never seriously looked away from Aberdeen.

Keeping Hugo was my plan but after so many transfer requests the offer of £28m was more than i expected. Really thought we'd see a £15-20m at very best.

Holland was the best job going Internationally and i want to get some World & European Championships in the bag so will be at the best possible international job for now!

Meanwhile at Donald Stadium


I apparently promised Amri a move away in the summer so was reminded at the end of the month. Lots of interest and accepted all offers over £15m and Barcelona was his place of choice

If Were not at a record high bank balance we must be ****** close. It will only get better as long as we follow "The Porto Policy" of buying young then selling for big bucks

****** **** that's impressive for the SPL!

Ticket sales are more than trebled from what i started with. +£30m a season. Champions League prize money for 12 seasons now must make around £25-£30m a season. Sponsorships too is way up to £15m currently think it was around £1m when i started. Of course wages & Bonus's have gone up a lot but with the player sales more than make up for that. However without the sale's of Loeffen & Hugo the bank would only read £35m

It's impressive no matter how you slice it. As is nearly 50m for an SPL player!

Doesn't that hurt you with Holland though?

Nah He'll loose some of his stats i guess but should make him too bad. While injured all he'll miss is friendlys with Croatia & Japan then is out November, December & January when there's no competitive games. Should be back by Febuary so a good month to get fit for the World Cup Qualifyers.
 
Just thought to say although I am a new subscriber to this story (I am only up to 2014), I am loving this story. It is riveting to the point where I am starting to Hate Celtic, and Celtic is the Scottish team I root for in the SPL. Keep up the good work. Although MojoDex was my inspiration behind writing my Managerial Career, your story has helped me decide on a format to write my story in. GO DONS!!!!!!
