Season Review


1st season miracle at Home Park as we follow Ipswich's example from two decades ago and jump right into Europe in our 1st season in the big time.
Speaking of Home Park The board decided to Purchase Home Park for some reason it will take a year to conclude the purchase. Were also putting in 10,000 new seats taking us up to a 27,000 capacity
Everton won the FA Cup
Surprise sacking of the end of season is Eddie Howe, fresh from leading Ciro Immobiles amazing season. Religated managers Seasn O'Driscoll & Oscar Garcia were less surprising. For Antonio Conte 5th was considered a failure and he lost his job at old Trafford to be replaced with Didier Deschamps
After the initial drama Tottenham are taken over and sack Ronny Della and pick up Antonio Conte from United
The El Classico final means the Premiership is back down to 4 teams in the Champions League


Plymouth team
View attachment 283928
Two youngsters came up triumphs for us this season as wing back Ross Rideout and even more so Lewis Collins played huge rolls in our League challenge. Shock of the season was Spanish signing Verza who led the scoring for us with 14 goals including a few hattricks!




Awards
Young Player of the year - Lewis Collins

Chelsea hold on despite a strong challenge from the 5 other sides. Plymouth win the best of the rest battle to grab the Europa League spot. Villa survive as West Brom, Nottm Forest & Bournmouth go down to be replaced with Stoke, Norwich & Derby or Swansea

Just read this from start to finish - wow.

Amazing success and cannot wait to see how you get on next season in Europe.
 

Season 6 Preview
2019/20


Pre Season
Leicester buy our Premiership young player of the year after meeting his buy out clause
Man Utd were busiest with the big moves
Stoke Norwich & Derby join us in the premiership




Targets
Premiership - Top Half Finish
FA, League Cup - Beat all lower league teams
Europa League - In Europe after Christmas


We'll have a harder season than last time after top 8 finish we wont be underestimated by anyone. Adding in European football could make the first few months really difficult.

The bigger teams had more success in buying my players than last season. Leicester spent £16.25m on the young player of the year Lewis Collins that was his buy out clause. 1st team players Amin Saidi, Bressnan, Sylla, Celik were also bought by rival premiership teams. Failed youngsters Lionel Watson, Ruben Loftus-Cheek & Adam Philips were moved on while Chico went off to play out his days back home in Spain.

Simone Zaza - AT

He's made a monster start and what else would you expect from a striker who scored 77 goals in 4 seasons in Serie A before leaving for free in the Summer. How he wasnt picked up by anyone is beyond me.

Peruvian wonderkid is already good enough for the Premiership and will be around the squad from day 1

Ander Herrera
He made a plea to return home and after all the help he gave to me last year i couldnt say no for £6m now and another £7m in fee's due in the next few years
