Hypanimz Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Wow, with that profit should be able to strengthen well. I think I've managed to strengthen very well just off free transfers. I decided to get the board to improve my youth facilities in preperation for something I plan on doing much later on in this career. That cost £1.3m. In other news I can now scout Europe and Scandinavia so they may well be an influx of foreign talent in the near future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypanimz Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Pre-Season 2020/21 I've been busy in the transfer market this summer signing players. The stand out signings are a new striker named Divock Origi and Issa Dieng who is a French central midfielder. I have also brought in a couple of new full backs as towards the end of last season my players were moaning about the captaincy of Jelleyman so he was sold. Also leaving was Ben Fisk who had been a fantastic player for the club but he would of been my 5th choice striker and he wanted game time so he had to leave. There ws a few other signings to give some competition to existing players. I'm happy with how our friendlies went. Comfortable wins against lower league oppositon and a thrilling 3-3 draw with Birmingham. In our first game we lost to Man City after holding them at 1-1 for some time. I was given a transfer budget but again I've decided not to use it. The plan is to keep it available to improve the wage budget as my scouts are now roaming Europe. I'm hoping that they will unearth some gems for me in the mid-season. Aims Survival. Survival. And finally... Survival. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypanimz Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 I may have said I couldnt care less about any cup competition but when the 2nd round of the Capital One Cup came up I was interested to see how we have progressed in a year. Capital One Cup Round 2 2019 Capital One Cup Round 2 2020 We get Watford in round 3 at home. Watford are now an established top half Premier League side.

Hypanimz Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 Mid - Season Update 2020/21 League Table Squad 1 Squad 2 I dont understand how we have our league position. We have had a horrible season so far with Injuries. Paul Moran played the first 8 scoring 7 then tore his hamstring so has missed 4 months. He is just back into light training. Mayer my starting right back has been injured for months as has McMahon and Perrot. Bell-Baggie has been outstanding but seems to get injured every other game so I have gone against my beliefs in only signing younger players as I have agreed a deal for David Amoo to join in January. We lost 1 of our first 8 games which was a massive shock. We had a little blip where we only won once in 10 game but in that time we picked up 5 draws so not all bad. Considering our injury worries I cant wait to put out my first choice team. The Capital One Cup was very entertaining and we even caused a few upsets. We defeated Premier League Watford and Swansea on our way to the 4th round where we faced Liverpool and played for 40 minutes with 10 men only to lose 4-3. In the FA Cup we have Villa at home in round 3. Lets see what happens! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypanimz Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 Kettering Town - npower Championship- 2020/21 We are Premier League. Yeah thats right we are Premier League. Amazing season. All I wanted was to survive I never expected this. League Table Past Positions I'm shocked we got promoted. We finished 2nd on goal difference to a AVB managed Derby side. We would have won the league but we let a 2-0 lead slip in the final game to relegated Portsmouth in the final 10 minutes as Derby lost. Amazingly we actually deserved promotion. We entered the playoffs in week 4 and stayed there ever since. Absolutely unreal Cups - The Capital One Cup was fun. Caused 2 upsets but then lost 4-3 to Liverpool in the 4th round. The FA Cup we were outclassed by Aston Villa 4-2. Squad - Alot of players still from my years in the BSN. I will need to strengthen massively to survive the Premier League. Transfers -Being able to scout Europe makes a huge difference. I managed to bring in some very talented players. Finances - Lost money this season but that was the £1.3m spent on youth facilities so I'm not worried about that as otherwise we would of broken even. Key Player Profiles: Paul Moran - Still scoring. Big test next season. 28 goals in 33 games and missed 4 months injured. Olegs Semjonovs - 15 assists and 7 goals and no injuries. Brilliant. George Swann - Been my star defender since the BSN. Amazing again. Divock Origi -Outscored Moran due to stayin injury free. 30 goals in 44 in debut season. Simon Lenighan - Kenyan midfielder who bossed the midfield. 13 assists and 4 goals. Just amazing season for us. Cant wait to try the Premier League and try to survive.

Or spend a little, but keep the nucleus of the squad together and if you go down, you go down. But you'll be financially better off for it and maybe become a yoyo club?

I've spent all I'm allowed to this summer. My board Projection states that at the end of the season we will have a balance of over £19m. I'm not sure if that includes my money for where I finish either so I could be quids in at the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypanimz Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Pre-Season 2021/22 After last years amazing promotion I set about to improve my squad massively. I was given just under £10m to improve my squad but my wage budget was nearly at max so I made changes and had a budget of £6.4m and a wage budget of £189k p/w. Transfers In Ali Jabbari - French centre back previously of Lyon on a free transfer Emanuele Marchioro - Italian centre back previously of AC Milan on a free transfer Juan Luis Vargas - Spanish right/centre back previously of Sevilla on a free transfer Antonio Moreno - Spanish central midfielder previously of Real Madrid on a free transfer Robin Jakobsson - Swedish goalkeeper. £675k signing from Malmo Tumay Ozturk - Turkisk central midfielder previously from FC Midtylland on a free transfer Chris Flood - English striker previously from Southamption on a free transfer Orazio Caldarell - Italian right winger on loan from Juventus with a view to a £3m transfer Agron Lazarev - Macedonian right winger for club record £5.5m fee from PAOK. Not all of the players will go straight into the first team. Maybe 5 will be starters. Unfortunately I missed out on two deals which was a goalkeeper from Reading who decided to join Colchester in the Championship and a Bulgarian striker who joined Olympiakos for £3.5m instead of me. I think we are a little light up front but I dont have enough free wages to make any other purchases so we will be going with this as things stand. 11 players left the club and I even sold Amoo and Robinson for £550k each which was good business. Pre-season friendlies were mixed. We beat Hoffenheim 3-1 before being beaten by French side USBCO 3-2. We beat two lower league sides before a 2-2 draw with Manchester City in our final friendly. They use to be our feeder club but not anymore. Aims 17th Place. Survive. Dont get relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypanimz Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Mid - Season Update 2021/22 League Table Squad It started very badly. We were sat in the bottom three for quite a while after suffering many heavy defeats. A 4-0 to Arsenal, 4-1 to Watford, Man City and Man Utd, 5-1 to Blackburn and a heavy 7-1 to Man City. Things have picked up of late as we have picked up 19 points from our last 9 games including upsetting Tottenham and Newcastle. We also battered Fulham 6-1. We are currently sat in 11th I just hope we can pick up a few more wins and hit that 50 point barrier and survive. The board have just given me some updated finances to work with ove January as we have made massive profits so far this season. Mainly due to groundsharing with Leicester as we have brought in massive gate receipts. We move back to the Kettering Stadium in a weeks time. Lets hope we push on in the second half of the season.
