    Checkatrade final and 3 of my 4 first XI defenders are unavailable.

    New plan: Outscore the other team.

    Quite a lot in but I really wanted to try and get the squad a bit younger and I'm pleased with what I've got. Murillo and Wesley Alex are the ones that can make a real difference this season as they're far better than what we have. It was also important that we kept these two:





    Shandong were going hard for Ruiz but they ended their interest and he quickly settled down. Delgado though was subject to offers from big clubs (Tottenham were the biggest) but luckily I gave him a contract before he got pissed off. Those two (along with Murillo) are the best Hondurans at the club so it was crucial that we kept them. Also no release clauses in either of their contracts too so they're here for the long haul.

    That must be one of the most dominant seasons I've ever had in this game. Given our form last season and the improvements I made in the squad I expected us to challenge for the automatic promotion spots, but we just demolished the league with ease. We scored 4 or more goals in 14 games, including a majestic 7-1 win at Yeovil. I have to feel a bit bad for Coventry who spent like 25 straight weeks in the automatic promotion spots and only needed just 1 point from their last game, but, unfortunately for them, that game was against us and we beat them 4-0 at their place.

    On top of that we won the Checkatrade Trophy, beating five League One teams in the process.

    Here's the squad stats:



    Khoury, Aarons and Barnes all smashed it playing from the wing, but I'm more proud of Stephens who I decided to give a chance to after the other strikers failed to impress. While he needed a few games to get going, once he started, he didn't stop.

    I'm thinking of staying another season, as I believe we have what it takes to comfortably stay up. It will be my last season at the club no matter what, and I will be on the lookout for any interesting jobs that might open in the meantime.
    Edit: I got offered an interview by Volendam (they just got relegated from the Eredivisie) and it looks attractive.

    Clearly your fault for not registering those half/one star guys.

    Edit: I just saw you can request that the board reduce the compensation demands if you want to sign for another club. How long has that been there (I don't remember the last time I wasn't hired because of high compensation)?

    For what it's worth (and even though the post was made half jokingly) I just had the same thing and a player of the other team got injured at the same time so I'm assuming it's a collision on the air.

    I've just had my 4th one this season.

    I'm going for low bridge just above the playing surface.

    3 Transfers in during the window:



    Freebie and another winger come striker who isn't great at finishing. It seems to be working for me though.



    £135k which is a tad too much for him but I am trying to hoover up any half decent Honduran.



    A striker with actual finishing! I could only secure a loan for him as Corinthians want £41.5m for him which is a little out of our budget right now.

    I'm apparently heavy favourites for the Swansea job, a full 2 leagues above my current post. And that's a few months after I was rejected by Dundalk and St Johnstone and stuff.

    Love all these people thinking they understand how Swiss Banking law works.

    Debit Cards can't be used online here. Privacy. I can pay them 70 quid a month to upgrade my account to a public-facing one but fat chance I'm doing that to buy a video-game once every 6 months.

    I just got a news item saying that my reserves have won the league again. I thought it was a little early so I checked their results:



    26 wins out of 26, 131 goals scored and 18 conceded. Heroes.

    This doesn't sound any less ridiculous than it did last time you mentioned it about a year ago. I'd move.

    Lol yeah, as a functioning alcoholic that's starting to notice a rather nasty coke habit, I definitely have the self restraint to not murder myself via debt.
