As you can see the squad is very big, you can sell some of the dead wood to raise the transfer budget, who you decide to sell is upto you!

This game is definately a challenge when you consider the board expectations, so for those of you who decide to take it, good luck! And let us know how you get on!

I took over Hamburger in March, when they were in 13th place. Olic, Thiago and Boateng were gone, but I got them to 7th place.

Then I left for Norwich, because I only got £5m to buy players for in the summer.
