Muttley84 Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 That really seems a lot of money for our budget (in the grand scheme of PL budgets it really is not), but I guess playing in a 20k+ stadium is fundamental for establishing ourselves as a top division club in England. It will take around 12 months to complete, so I guess for the entire next season we will be ground-sharing at our neighbors Barnsley. Exciting times ahead.

Muttley84 Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 Just when I was counting the money and establishing contacts for the players I wanna buy in the summer - I get this message about the takeover and a transfer embargo. I don't want some rich money pumping new owner, just want this to be finished as soon and smoothly as possible so I can focus on the preparation for the new season.

Muttley84 Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 Finally glad it is over, with not much harm done in the process. No extra money for us, but it being resolved quickly allows us to focus back on the transfer window and the preparation for the new season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley84 Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 Another upgrade on the training facilities this time. It s great news but on the other hand I am worried about the heavy costs of this - surely 10 million are a lot of money for training facilities.

Muttley84 Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 This is how we are lined up for the new season. Notable ins are the extension of loans for Charlie Cresswell and Regan Slater, Jack Clarke came on a free from Spurs, while the big money were spent of Jacob Greaves (10M from Hull), Andy Rinomhota (9.5M from Reading), Ben Wiles (9.25M from Rotherham) and Alfie McCalmont (6.25M from Leeds). Some other players arrived for fewer money, while in the other way around a lot of players left on loans and free transfers. We are now 100% using Yorkshire players, so I guess that's another milestone achieved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley84 Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 Despite us not being a recently promoted team anymore we are still predicted to finish dead-last in the table. Cant say I am to fussed about this, I just want to focus on integrating the newly arrived players in the squad and I think we have good chances of staying up. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley84 Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 Some nice results in the pre-season friendlies but really inconclusive as we did not met opponents of Premier League caliber. Still nice to integrate the new players in, and we are going into the season with full confidence in our ability to safely avoid relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley84 Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 We have finished the upgrade of the training facilities, and at the moment we are having: Good corporate facilities, Superb training facilities (guess that was 10M well spent then), Good youth facilities, Adequate academy coaching and Average youth recruitment.

Muttley84 Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 A dream start of the season with seven points from the first three games and progression in the League Cup. Long may it continue! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley84 Posted February 13, 2023 Author Share Posted February 13, 2023 We continue our good run of results in September also, as we manage to sneak two away draws (Sheffield United and Southampton), before winning at home to Blackburn. We then progressed another round in the League cup, before losing the last PL game to Wolves. We are sitting 10th after seven game weeks and I am pretty satisfied with the way the season begun.

Muttley84 Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 Going to take a little break from this as I am losing the motivation to play. Should find an alternate save and get back to this in some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
