It depends on how he's running the team. If you use your own tactics rather than downloading somebody else's, start your manager as automatic and finish above the prediction then it's a good season. Not amazing, but still good. If his reputation was set as an international footballer, with a downloaded tactic then I’d agree, an average season.a good season would be vaguely challenging for top 5 (Minimum finish 8th and no more than 6 points off 4th), I'd say you had an average season, but underperformed in the league slighlty (Stoke have a really solid squad)
I agree - I don't see the point in why anyone would want to use someone else's tactic(s), as you are basically just seeing how well they would have done.It depends on how he's running the team.

IMO though, anybody who downloads a pre-made successful tactic might as well just download the editor and stick £100m to the transfer budget.
I'd agree with that. Transfers are important as well. If the budget has been spent on young stars that are developing, it's a good season. If the money was spent on 23-30 year olds, he could have finished higher.I agree - I don't see the point in why anyone would want to use someone else's tactic(s), as you are basically just seeing how well they would have done.
But none-the-less, with Stoke's squad I think a good season would be to vaguely be one of the challengers for the Top 4, and certainly the Europa league (Like Newcastle a couple of seasons ago and Everton!)
Just my opinion![]()
