How’s your save getting on since the big chunk of money you received 

I am in the promotion running with around twelve games to go.  Currently third, though only a handful of points separate top and seventh.  I am also playing other saves so updates have slowed down a bit.

End of Season Review

Season 2027/28

FC United of Manchester

Errea is named new technical sponsor of FC United of Manchester!

Season Summary

A dreadful performance in the cups was masked by a good league season where we qualified for the promotion playoffs, where we narrowly lost to Leyton Orient.

Season Details

League Table - A good campaign with some great results.  October was tough though we were always in or around a play off spot.

Play Offs - We made it to Wembley where, despite dominating the game, we lost two one to Leyton Orient, keeping us in non league football for at least another season.

League Fixtures 1 & 2 - Four straight league defeats in October set the club somewhat though we recovered to finish third and qualify for the play offs.

F. A. Cup - A very poor performance at home to Guiseley, who play in the Vanarama National League North, saw the club crash out at the fourth qualifying stage.

F. A. Trophy - A shock defeat at Stourbridge, who play in the league below, saw the club eliminated at the third round stage.

Pre Season Friendlies - Just the two defeats in pre season.

Squad - Our best players are at League One level, we just lack the depth.

Squad Dynamics - Exceptional, as always.

Transfers In - None.

Transfers Out - Just the one departure of note, as Joseph Adams YP25D52 was sold by my chairman, above my head.  This was before we received over £17m due to a sell on clause.

Youth Candidates - Not a great intake, though Fabrice Haman YP28A97 looks like he has a chance of making the grade.

Finances - We are swimming in cash.

Key Players

Andrew Camacho YP23D20 - Our best defender just keeps on delivering.

Keith Phelan YP24F38 - Another prolific season from the Irish club record goalscorer.

Owen Carpenter YP24I41 - The Welsh central midfielder was inconsistent, ranging from very good to downright awful.

Roberto Santamaría YP26C67 - Still aged only seventeen, the Spanish right winger refuses to sign a new deal so may have to be sold this summer.

Brian Prescott YP24H40 - a below par season from the Irish striker and left winger.

Next Season

Promotion is the obvious ambition.

Season 2028/29

FC United of Manchester

Errea is named new technical sponsor of FC United of Manchester!

Our preview was ok I guess, but nothing spectacular:

There is some depth to the group we have had, though no one ready for first team action just yet.  Three right backs is disappointing as I am going to have to retrain two of them.

End of Season Review

Season 2028/29

FC United of Manchester

Errea is named new technical sponsor of FC United of Manchester!

Season Summary

Promotion via the playoffs on its own would be a great season.  The fact we won our second F. A. Trophy in three years meant it was a magnificent season.

Season Details

League Table - Whilst we were never in contention for automatic promotion, we were comfortably in the play off places for most of the season.

Play Offs - It may have taken extra time, but we did win the promotion playoffs, after extra time.  We defeated Morecambe in the final, at Wembley.

League Fixtures 1 & 2 - A poor start to the season could have derailed our season, though we settled down and churned out the wins.

F. A. Cup - A decent cup run though one where we went our with a whimper, losing in the third round at home to League Two side Cambridge United.

F. A. Trophy - We won our second F. A. Trophy in three years as we comfortably beat Northampton Town in the final.  Other than a replay with Guiseley, we were rarely troubled throughout the competition.

Pre Season Friendlies - A mixed pre season campaign, where we won five game though lost four.

Squad - We have some phenomenal players though we do lack depth.

Squad Dynamics - As good as you would expect.

Transfers In - None.

Transfers Out - Not many departures this year though we did lose a key player, selling young Spaniard Roberto Santamaría YP26C67 for £5m, plus add ons.

Youth Candidates - A decent enough intake with right back Paul Sweeny YP29B114 looking like a fine prospect.

Finances - Despite spending a lot of money on upgrading our facilities, we continue to have a very healthy bank balance.

Key Players

Andrew Camacho YP23D20 - A full international for Guyana, the centre back had a decent campaign.  He did lose his place towards the end of the season.

Keith Phelan YP24F38 - Another highly prolific season from the Irishman.

Owen Carpenter YP24I41 - On his day he is exceptional, though he is rather inconsistent.

Brian Prescott YP24H40 - The second player in our Irish double act, the striker continues to live in Keith Phelan YP24F38's shadow.

Stephen Francis YP26B66 - The central defender had his best season to date.

Next Season

I think we could challenge for a play off place.
