Popular Post Ray46 Posted December 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2022 Update 7; Season 6; 2028/2029 Sant Andreu: A Dutch manager in Barcelona “Go out and enjoy” In this save we stick it to the Barca board and try to recreate a La Masia CL winning Cruyff dream team just ten km away from Nou Camp. After some tough negotiations last seasons sale of our star centre back for 3.4M has been invested: Our next star player got sold. 5M is a lot of money for this player. We will reinvest in the facilities. The squad wasn’t happy though. But I said we won’t miss him and give the youth players a chance… Financials are very solid. The players with the two biggest wages have been sold for a combined 8.6M. Because of the good financials I have slightly overpaid my top prospects so they will be registrable for La Liga 2 and La Liga. The promotion % raise will get them above €155.000 a year. Overpaying them also lets them agree with 10-30 Million release clauses. So let the upgrading begin: Youth facilities are at Good and Training facilities are at Great end of season. I forgot to take some of the screenshots. Youth Development is getting better and better. The youth recruitment and coaching are at the same level as any club in Spain. And with the talent pool Spain has we’ll just need time to develop. Our U19’s have beaten Barcelona for the first time: We had some youth call ups for Morocco and Bulgaria, but this is the first one for Spain. I truly believe last year's crop is a true golden generation. Aureli is a complete wingback. During the cup season we ran into some injuries and our 16 years old GK personally FMed Osasuna. And more and more players are in National youth teams, Aureli did not get a call up this time: Both YR and JC are maxed out at exceptional now and it showed in the intake preview: The intake did not disappoint, three of the prospects have two stars CA: Our ageing star player Morer is at 2.5* CA now. Our development flywheel is unstoppable from here. Best prospects: Miquel Angel, will be AML as an inverted Winger. Professional, leader, quick and a good finisher. He’ll be a great mentor in 5 or 6 seasons. Agboola: A Driven physical specimen, two footed. Will hopefully bring some defensive balance to our midfield. I hope he will develop technically. Gratacos, A GK. Not a good personality, but most important attributes are already or almost double digits. Puigvert and Mendoza are forwards who look excellent, but not per se better than last season's top prospects. Our attack will be deep in a few seasons, but both need some mentoring. Will train them to be as versatile as possible as IW of SC. Perhaps even SS. The other elites hopefully will add some depth to our wing defense, but we’ll have to see how they develop. The season went very well: We are into La Liga next season!!! We did not sign any players of course. Minguez, as mentioned earlier, was sold for 5 million and did at Zaragoza. Ribo only got off the bench twice. That’s a bad 3,4M spent by Malaga. We won the league quite comfortably in the end. I noticed the AI isn’t able to field 11 fit and sharp players. Especially at season start, around international weekend and after Christmas at least 8 out of 11 players aren’t match fit or lacking sharpness. Our morale was sky high and we kept possession a lot better after the update. In the few games where we did not dominate possession, we were in big trouble. I hope our style of play will translate to La Liga, but I think we’ll be dominated by the top half of the team. Let’s see if we can keep morale up. The Copa del Rey went as expected. We have beaten two lower league sides, but Atletico was much too strong. Commercially we have improved as well. The best eleven. 3 of the best performers are legacy players who were 16 when I took over. I’m lucky with how they developed. I have rotated between two full squads all season. Most players were between 2,5 and 4 stars CA, so I took the opportunity to keep everyone fit, sharp and develop the youngsters. I made our pitch max dimensions and made every match into an energy wasting dogfight. As said earlier most teams were not optimally prepared when they played us and we capitalized on that beautifully. Tito was the best player, he scored a goal every 100 minutes and was often our joker of the bench when the other team was worn down. He has the records for most games played and most goals scored. Mejias, our captain, was the rock in defense. He had the top rating. Both are legacy players. We gained some new fans on social media. The boards vision is exactly what the doctor ordered: Our current stadium isn’t up to La Liga standards, so we’ll build a new one: And the board offered me a new contract: Progress: 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Winski Posted December 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2022 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig I'm sorry, but I can't resist it. I was enjoying my save in Finland with JJK, and will continue it for sure. But I really want to complete this challenge with an East-German side. I got a soft spot for this club: Lok Leipzig. A big club back in the DDR-past with a very rich history. I love their history, their logo, their stadium, their club colours. So before I continue my save in Finland, I'll give Germany another go. There are better options then Lok Leipzig if you want a financial steady East-German club: Chemnitz, CZ Jena or Energie Cottbus for example. The financial situation at our club isn't that good. We don't have big sponsor contracts. So until we get promoted to 2. Bundesliga, it will be a struggle. I can't even start a Coaching Course. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using a Very Loyal HOYD in LUX and while the personalities are poor its hard to argue he hasn't found excellent talent for how bad our facilities are and the nation we play in. The two negatives I see with your current hoyd @Sn00gle is his reputation and his tactical style. For the level you are at now you should be able to attract 1.5-2 star rep hoyds or higher. I have a strong suspicion that the reputation is hindering his ability to secure top level talent in your country because his attributes and scouting are excellent. I would choose based on tactical style over formation as you can always retrain positions, but cant change the archetype of players you are continually given. Your current HOYD has Park the bus which will tend to generate big defensive players and have less speed and attacking talent (i believe). I've never liked that on my HOYD. Last point I'd avoid a low Working With Youngsters. Again at the stage you are at you have the pick of the nation on who to hire, so no reason to risk it.

Makoto Nakamura Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 2024/25 End of Season Review The opposite of last season, we started great with form of 4-3-0 but then it just all turned sour picking up two points from the next eight games and then we just didn't get a good run of form going until the very end of the season. We were also able to get another Youth Recruitment upgrade so now that's up to good and I think that's all we'll be able to afford for some time. Also worth noting that we have one player in the squad that is a natural DC, and he came through in the last intake, that definitely doesn't help things.

Popular Post WhiteCat33 Posted December 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) A.S. Luxembourgo Porto Season 16 2038-39 BGL Ligue (Tier 1) Intro & Club | Season 1 | Season 2 | Season 3 | Season 4 | Season 5 | Season 6 |Season 7 |Season 8 | Season 9 | Season 10 | Season 11 | Season 12 | Season 13 | Season 14 |Season 15 | Matches | Squad | Transfers |Facilities | Finances | Supporters Competitions: Conference League So of course this season I had my first game crash of this entire campaign and it happened after I had the most unbelievable continental league play. I save the game about every month (manually), but it just so happens end of November - December had 3 Conference League fixtures. First Away Shalke, which we lost; Second Away at AIK where we pulled off a huge 3-2 comeback victory; and Third home against St Patricks (Ireland) where again we came from behind to win recording a 3-1 finish. Just as I'm cheer at our 18 year old LM's 80 & 83' min goals off the bench the game CTDs when trying to load the game summary screen. With these two wins we had 9 points having won an earlier match and qualified for the knockouts. So what happened when I had to replay these fixtures? We went 0-1-2 and bowed out ranking 30/36 in the league missing out on over 1M in prize money in the process. The match away at Shalke (who topped the entire league) was insane as we lost 5-3. Cup We were dreadful this year losing to a lower-league side in the Fourth Round. We just didn't have the depth to do all the matches and our B team weren't good enough. League No surprise we were second best to Swift due to having to rotate for league matches as I was trying for prize money in Europe. Hey in an alternate universe it was worth it! Anyways, they crushed the league to record their 7th title in 9 years. Youth Academy: Youth Intake Preview With the crash I got a new YI Preview from my original one. I have to say it is substantially better, so I guess I traded current season success for potential future talent. Only time will tell if this was a good trade. Spoiler Original Preview: Real Preview: Youth Intake Well this intake does soften the blow of the lost Europe run. My HOYD really likes to stack positions. 2037 GK Year, 2038 CAM Year and now for 2039 we have a Winger year with 4 of our 5 best prospects playing on one of the wings. Spoiler Best Prospects Spoiler RM who is a set piece specialist and either footed is nice. Personality could be worse, and isn’t so slow he’s unusable on the wing Next we have a tall IWB who sadly is Unambitious. Bummer, as we need FBs like nobodies business and I may still try him out. I am a fan of this wide midfielder. I like speed, and he has enough that with professional training he could actually move on the wings with the potential to maybe to be technically and mentally okay. The final winger is the lone with a good personality, so by default the best candidate for success. Glad he’s on the left as our RM is one of our strongest positions. Our only non-winger over 1* is a Cape Verdean DM who also starts with some FB knowledge which is amazing! He will be our new LB, which is one of our weakest positions. I have 2 CBs that I’ve trained to play out there. Best XI Spoiler Poached Players We had our second player Poached, this time to France, and our first Poached player Carlo Clement showed up in Germany. Interesting to note he doesn't get the special treatment of Portuguese nationalities, just is a regular old LUX kid who gets German nationality. Spoiler Youth Products Highlights Star Players: As I kept playing after this season here are snapshots of the star players to showcase the end of their Part Time development. My GK Paulo Dias 14c is the first official Portugal Youth National Team player as he was the #1 GK for the U19 squad! By the summer my second GK who is out on loan in the Portugues Championship (Tier 4) got called up as well and they alternated starts. We have a new record of players in the Luxembourg Youth Squads and a couple in the Main squad now. Only Eimido D'Avila 10b is getting CAPs though as the other two constantly get called up but never play. Wish they got demoted to the U21 to get international game experience. Spoiler Also, I think its clear Joao Pedro 10c did well in Europe this year: Spoiler Club Infrastructure Even without the extra prize money we made enough to upgrade both the Training and Youth Facilities as well as for me to risk boosting Youth Recruitment. I still am not going to touch JR Coaching as the budget will be strained as it is if we fail to quailfy for the Conference league Group Stage. Also with our work in Europe and going Professional in the summer we hit 2* Reputation! Spoiler Coaching Badges Didn't get any, but I did receive my first job offer outside of LUX to manage Circle Brugge Thoughts A great way to cap off our Semi-Professional journey with a respectable showing in Europe (after the crash) and lots of upgrades to show for it. After this season I kept playing as going Professional is exciting to start shaping up this club and finally hiring useful staff members. We've done a ton this save with the very minimal backroom talent Luxembourg produces. Edited December 7, 2022 by WhiteCat33 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We finally got the go ahead to turn professional too, we have £3m in the bank - and a nice squad with a bit of depth now building.

Popular Post hubwub Posted December 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Club Comunicaciones - Liga Profesional de Fútbol - 2024 CLUB: PROFILE | FACILITIES | HONOURS | BOARD VISION | SUPPORTERS | FINANCES MANAGER: PROFILE Competitions Liga Profesional de Fútbol Our first season in the top flight can only be said with over achievement. We finished third on 56 points with 16W-8D-3L. We were in the hunt for the title but in the end it wasn't meant to be. We managed to qualify for Copa CONMEBOL Libertadores. Spoiler Copa de la Liga Profesional Our first trophy in the top flight was with the Copa de la Liga Profesional. We won on penalties in the final. It went down to the ninth man during the penalties. Our group stage was 12W-2D and we finished the group stage with a match against Belgrano only to be matched up against them in the playoff stage. Spoiler Copa Argentina AXION Energy Our second trophy this season was a journey in avoiding the big guys in Argentina till the end. We did encounter Newell's who defeated 2-0. Spoiler Squad Sergio Sosa Liam Castro - Emiliano Trovento - Emiliano Ojeda 22H Tomás Friesel - Mauro Miraglia Tobías Bovone - Jerónimo Ávalos - Ramiro Ríos - Lucas Barreto Julián Kadijevic Youth Academy None have featured in the first team yet. But in the upcoming season they will likely play. Spoiler Miscellaneous The upcoming task before the upcoming season is managing my finances since we are in the red. Then the next one is maintaining and getting new staff. I am considering getting a new HOYD. I might add the top flight divisions from countries participating in Copa CONMEBOL Libertadores.

Popular Post russ the womble Posted December 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2022 Season 13 (2035) A close season up the top end for Elverum Was a two horse race for the title towards the end, but Asane scraped a 1-0 win in their game that sent me into a play off match vs Skeid. We went 4-0 down during the first leg (always fun) but came back to lose it 4-2. In the second leg we were 3-0 up with 5 minutes to go when Skeid scored to make it 5-5 on aggregate, and then lost on penalties after extra time. Jan Brekke Spoiler 20 goal season, starting to come good. Ole Amund Hippe Fagereng Spoiler 13 goals from a shadow striker position and a few assists, still decent potential to improve a bit more. Erling Rangoy Holte Spoiler 10 goals in the league and top assists, had a great season Ole Anders Nesheim-Hauge Spoiler Not as impressive but a decent haul from RW. Probably room to improve this area but no one immediately coming through. Ole Thomas Flogum Spoiler Finally a decent defensive option has come through, however wanted by a ton of clubs so surprised if I can keep hold of him. My issues are certainly at the back - been vulnerable all season to balls through the centre of the park or over the top. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WhiteCat33 Posted December 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) A.S. Luxembourgo Porto Season 17 2039-40 BGL Ligue (Tier 1) Intro & Club | Season 1 | Season 2 | Season 3 | Season 4 | Season 5 | Season 6 |Season 7 |Season 8 | Season 9 | Season 10 | Season 11 | Season 12 | Season 13 | Season 14 |Season 15 | Season 16 | Squad | Transfers |Facilities | Finances | Supporters Competitions: Conference League Missing out on the title we had the long-road of trying to make it into the Conference League group stage. While our first draw was kind, we did amazingly well to beat Polish Lech 2-0 across both legs. Against Danish FC M. we got really unlucky in the Away match conceding a late penalty to draw 2-2 then sadly didn't show up when they came to Luxembourg. Granted they are a way better team than us and at this point in the season we only had part of the team training professionally. Spoiler Cup Without European matches and Professional status we didn't have any trouble working our way to the final where, yet again, we meet with our nemesis Swift Hesperange. We got very unlucky here where my striker ran into the way of a goal from my RM from an offside position negating what would have been the winning goal in regulation. In ET they brought on a late pacy striker who punished my dead-tired defenders. Spoiler League Well good news is we had the best campaign of the save recording a record of 83 points in 30 matches. Sadly, Swift Hesperange did just 1 point better with 84 so no trophy for us. I really can't complain too much though as we failed to beat them any of the 3 times we faced them. Drew 0-0 at home early in the season, lost 0-3 away in the second half of the season and you can see the cup final above. Spoiler Youth Academy: Youth Intake Preview Spoiler Youth Intake Awful personalities this year with generally weaker talent. Have to expect a down year once in a while, we only took 6. Spoiler Best Prospects Spoiler Best is no contest with a new striking prospect Francisco Picanco 17a. Luckily he has Green consistency so even with low determination he’ll get mentoring from our two star strikers who are Resolute and Fairly professional to hopefully improve his hidden attributes. Same story for Jose Santos 17b, but this time with my star midfielders. Now that we are professional it will be interesting to see what kind of development we get with players like this. Even though the coaches say he has low potential, I see Rodrigo Silva 17j as an exciting LB with great media handling he has a better probability of developing than on first glance. He’ll also be able to provide LM cover as a more defensive option for tougher matches For this intake Pedro Sousa 17f has one of the better personalities and with his speed and penalty skill he’s another winger for us (a position we are over-loaded in now) HOYD & Youth Staff While I won't be changing my HOYD (as he's done so awesome this save) I've hired what could be his replacement as a first team coach. I'll be looking to totally upgrade my youth coaches personality-wise as well as many other backroom staff I can to finally begin to pivot towards professionalism. Till this point it's literally just been whatever's available and not awful. Now Germans are willing to come work here so options are finally available. Spoiler He also has Reserved Media handling. Best XI So I think you could say I have a pretty good strike partnership leading the line when the 'low-scoring' striker has 47 goals... Spoiler The Assistant has different ideas of the lineup than what I use. Striker roles are flipped, has a different playmaker and the back 4 is all wacked. Youth Products Highlights Up to 14 call-ups in a window including my staring GK getting promoted to the Portugal U20's with him and my backup (again out on loan in Portugal 4th Tier) being the starting GKs. I haven't been able to get my DoF to start a contract negotiation with my backup GK so he's still on a Part-Time contract, which is sadly hindering his development. Spoiler A couple years ago our Star Striker decided he was too good for Luxembourg's national team and after 4 CAPs switched his nationality to Portugal. He's over 21 now and he never got a youth callup, but now the Portugal boss is taking interest. So far he hasn't bitten but Fabio Algarvio 11a is great and steadily improving so who knows. Best news being I finally got the DoF to start a contract negotiation so I can sign him onto a Full-Time contract without a release clause! He's expensive but worth it. Spoiler We also have a new LUX national team player who is our LB/CB. Got his first CAP saving LUX from Nation League relegation by beating Malta Spoiler Club Infrastructure We just tried to stem the financial damage this year having to pay taxes for last season (477k) the 3rd to last payment on our stadium debt (190k), large stadium Maintenace fees (330k) and our immense Youth Setup cost (1.2M). This totaled a loss of 1.4M for the season w/o Coaching Badges Nothing again. Here is my coach who is basically maxed out at this point: Spoiler Thoughts As one of the two professional clubs in the nation it is becoming a two-man race at the top with the other European Places teams trying to hold on for dear life. Differdange and Una Strassen were both able to draw with Swift Hesperange for their home fixture, so there is hope for another title if I can actually beat them head-to-head. I'll showcase these squads in an additional post after this one where I'll also summarize the World of Football in 2040. Couple of surprises including Bayern not winning the Bundesliga last season and you'll never guess who took the title from them! Excel Season 1 - 15: I track a lot more than I post on here, so this has the full table I use for season datapoints.

WhiteCat33 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) A.S. Luxembourgo Porto 2040 World of Football Luxembourg BGL Ligue: If you look at the Season Preview (at the end of the season) you can see its all Swift and my ASL Porto players. In the key players theirs only one worth highlighting, the rest are all middling at best. Spoiler League Rank: Starts in the low 80's and until the past couple of seasons stayed there jumping up to 75, then 71 and now: Spoiler Best 3 AI Teams: #1 Swift Hesperange: I honestly didn't expect the AI to put together a squad strong enough to make it to the Conference League Round of 16. This team isn't a legacy powerhouse like TNS, they just happened to make the right transfers to takeover the league from teams like Una Strassen who couldn't manage to stay dominant. While the AI has made a few dumb transfers here and there they have invested the funds well into the club doing 3 Training & Youth Facility upgrades as well as are building the biggest stadium in the country (9,415) that will be done in another year. To their credit they got knocked-out by the Runner-up to the Conference League (more on that later). In the spoiler you can see the star players they have brought in from Europe & Africa to give me a real challenge in this save Spoiler Of their most used / best players there is just one who came through their youth academy and another two they took from other LUX sides. Spoiler For Luxembourg these are some decent players and with the nations loaded that I have they are able to find the vast majority of these players on Free Transfers. #3 Una Strassen: Sadly their second era of competitiveness is ending this year with the departure of their star Gibraltarian Striker. They won the league from 2028-2030 and have finished top 3 since then, yet for whatever reason they never invested the money into facilities and only recently increased their statdium from 2k to 4k. The only reason they have been able to keep up is due to my bringing in free-agents on trial so the AI clubs will sign foreign players. Basically any non-LUX players you see in these teams is due to my trialing. Without my intervention esentially none of these foreign stars would be in the squad. Foreign Stars: Spoiler Best Domestic Talents: They do have a decent 18 year old striker, but that's their only young domestic talent. The other reasonably good LUX developed player is a well traveled AP. Spoiler #3 FC Differdange 03 - This is a legacy top-flight squad, but never really a title contender, so just wanted to show their squad for what the 'mid-range' teams look like where you can see lots of domestic players with a few random foreigners they've picked up from my trials. The best is their winter acquisition of an Albanian winger, but really their domestic players are what brought them up this season. Spoiler Active Domestic Leagues of Europe: Germany Be honest, you didn't guess Leverkusen! They have done very well with lots of 3rd place finishes as well as the DFB Pokal in 2035. Sadly nothing at the continental level for them. Spoiler France Not sure what happened in 2029 & 2030 for AS Monaco to overtake PSG two years running. Otherwise its the dominance you expect here. Spoiler Belgium Spoiler Portugal FC Porto had a good run for most of the save but Sporting have become the current dominant force. Not Benfica seem to have had some serious debt problems and still are caring -20M, which is lower than a peak beyond the 80M. Spoiler European Club Competitions: Champions League No real surprises here. Even without England, Spain or Italy loaded they have done perfectly well. Spoiler Europa League You start to see Portugal clubs making an impact here as well as some of the non-PSG french clubs. Importantly for my save FC Porto won it in 2024. Shame that even with Belgium loaded from the start none have made a final. Way to go Rangers! Spoiler Conference League Just my luck, my one year in this competition drew me with the eventual champions. Also now the Belgian clubs are appearing. You can see that AA Gent who knocked out Swift this year just lost to Tottenham making it 3 finals defeats for them this save. Though Anderlecht and Antwerp have made their mark. Here the big point is that FC Porto won it in 2038, so we have to win the Europa League and Conference League to be on equal terms with Porto. Spoiler International Competitions: Euros: Regular winners, but good on Poland and Turkey for finalists. Spoiler AFCON Cape Verde are on fire right now with two runners up! I'll highlight the nation later. Spoiler World Cup USA Runners-Up in 2030 I Believe!! Spoiler AS Luxo Porto Nations: Portugal: Shocker they are amazing Spoiler Luxembourg: Pretty disappointing performance from Luxembourg. My RM is the 4th best player and the only one developed in Luxembourg on the list. 2 are developed in Germany, 1 in Portugal and the other 2 are naturalized from their time at Una Strassen where one still plays. Spoiler Cape Verde: Naturally when you load Portugal for this long and they are a top 5 ranked country Cape Verde will get a boost, but this is surprising to get up to #47! They are starting WCQ now so maybe they will make their first World Cup! Naturally the vast majority of the squad plays in Portugal but one is at Swift.

Pretty bad if I'm being honest, but lots are on super cheap contracts, so while I'll swap out expensive ones for better personalities I'll be stuck with a lot of these until we can regularly beat Swift Hessperange. Now that we are professional we have the young talent to get there as long as I can keep my players. Spoiler And yes, I am on a $0 contract. The DB/Club is bugged and neither myself or the U21 head coach can ever get a p/w contract. Edited December 8, 2022 by WhiteCat33 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddy Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 2023/24 Midseason Review: A quick start and then a bit of a slump. I think we've corrected things though. Not a very deep squad so a couple injuries and the busy schedule make things tough. The keeper also gives up way too many soft goals. The goal is midtable and I think we'll meet that goal and maybe sneak a little higher if I have the tactics figured out. Intake Preview: Such a thin squad I expect a strong preview. We can basically use the help everywhere, so the real hope is that at least a couple players come in ready for first team minutes. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Cultured Left Foot Posted December 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) If you'd like more details of the save, its a Playthrough series on my YouTube channel - http://www.youtube.com/c/culturedleftfoot END OF SEASON 4 ! By far our best season yet where we challenged for the playoffs for a large portion of the season, but one bad run in the middle of the season saw us drop off. However, a 9th place finish shows clear improvement in the squad and the youngsters are really stepping up and performing well. We had some absolutely amazing results this season and some mega news.... so it's a big update. Let's take a look. First up is the fact that heading into the new season, Diadora decided they wanted to manufacture and sponsor our kits all the way down in the National League North. So, here are our kits for Season 4 and Season 5 of this save. We headed into the season with a number of the youngsters claiming low shirt numbers indicating they are expected to be in the first 11 for most of the season. The league season was definitely a success. We definitely made sure we are a mid-table team that could challenge for the playoffs next season. An end of season run that saw us only lose one game in 12 wasn't enough for a run into the playoffs, but was lovely to see the team perform so well and so consistently. Something incredibly special was that in the final fixture of the season (with nothing to play for) we played a team full of Youth Academy graduates and ran out 4-1 winners! However, the biggest and best news of the season was our magnificent FA Cup run, which saw us get through to the 3rd round ! After the qualifying rounds were we saw of National League team Gateshead, we were drawn in round 1 against Kent-based Gillingham from League Two ! After the first round win over fully professional Gillingham, we were rewarded with a home-tie against League Two Rochdale.... And they met the same fate ! Qualifying for the third round and we were rewarded with what every small club wants - an away trip to a Premier League club! Getting drawn against West Ham I knew we would get battered, but half of those 60,000 gate receipts would be ours!! And so West Ham absolutely trounced us. That FA Cup run and third round fixture gave us a whopping 1.5 million in the club coffers! And we reinvested that straight away! And with those improvements being agreed. We had our youth intake... Which was also amazing! A number of amazing talents came through from the youth intake - and 3 or 4 of them will get into our first squad next year - but the standout players were Matt O'Keefe and Danny Adams. We ended the season, however, with one of our better young central midfielders being sold to Tranmere. However, I'm hoping that the 50% sell on clause comes in handy! But again, its a year on year improvement and we are definitely moving in the right direction - I'm hoping the youngsters that have just come through give us that final bit of squad depth to push us to the playoffs next season! On we go to Season 5. Wish us luck! Edited December 8, 2022 by Cultured Left Foot Removed incorrect image 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
