  1. Holyhead Hotspur - Season Update 2026/2027 Domestically another season with us predicted to finish last in the league saw us defy expectations and finish runners up and earn me Manager of the Year. But in Wales there is TNS and then everyone else. TNS finished 30 points clear of us and had the title wrapped up in January. It's going to be a long road to beating TNS. In Europe we beat Lithuanian side Zalgiris and Irish side Bohemians to reach the 3rd Qualifying Round of the Europa League. We were then soundly beaten by Czech side Banik Ostrava. The run in the Europa League yielded some much needed funds that saw the club upgrade the training facilties plus both Youth Recruitment and Youth Coaching. League Table Youth Intake The improvements to the youth setup led to a better youth intake and some badly needed defenders. Centre Back Rhys James goes straight into the centre of defence as a star player at the club which is fantastic but we are going to need a lot more players like him in the intakes. Squad The squad some more depth now but is severly lacking in quality in many areas. We need to improve the youth intakes to try to catch TNS and to make any kind of meaningful progress in Europe. Finances Even after the money spent on upgrades there's still a good amount of money in the coffers. Transfers No transfers.
  2. Holyhead Hotspur (Wales) - Season Update 2025/2026 Despite pre-season fears of relegation we manged to avoid the drop comfortably in the swashbuckling style demanded by the board and finished in 8th place. Incredibly we won the Welsh Cup after facing 2nd division sides in both the Semi-Final and Final. This means we have been entered into the Europa Conference League First Qualifying Round for next season where I assume we will get smashed as the Welsh League is rated as the 3rd worst in Europe. League Table Youth Candidates The board did approve one improvement to our Youth Recruitment Network but rejected every other request to improve the clubs facilties. This improvement led to a slightly better intake but we are starting to need new defenders badly. Squad With our first choice GK and Central Defender opting to retire at the end of this season I have blooded their replacements towards the end of the season but it's a huge drop in quality. We have plenty of decent attacking options now but I am crossing fingers for some great Defenders and GK in the next intake. Finances Despite our finances being ok the club is not approving any further improvements to facilties or allowing me to get another coaching badge. Hopefully the Europa Conference League will being in some much needed funds to improve the youth setup but I'm unsure on how much money it will provide. Transfers No transfers.
  3. Looks like the club have decided to stay up we will need to be playing like prime Manchester City
  4. Holyhead Hotspur Season Update 2024/2025 Despite starting with 11 players and having 3 of those players leave us on free transfers throughout the season we still somehow managed to win the league and were promoted to the Welsh top flight. During the season I managed to get my first 2 coaching badges and survive a club takeover that yielded zero new investment I am guessing this was a weak league as it seemed way too easy to win the division with a thin squad. Youth Candidates We got our youth intake in March which meant we were able to play some of the players in the last 4 games of the season which helped us snap a 5 game losing streak. The intake was a fairly good one overall with some of the players immediately slotting into the first 11 and many of them into the first team squad. Transfers Squad Here's the squad as it stands at the end of the season League Table League Champions with a grand total of 3.1k pounds per week to spend on wages in the Welsh top flight
  5. Thanks @Neo_Geo. Strangely it's been a great first season, update to come soon.
  6. The club only has 11 players so this first season until youth intake day will be brutal Here's the squad
  7. Looks like the first thing I need to do is hire some staff to help me running the club, there is currently none
