2037 Summer Transfer Window With the promotion, I was expecting we'd be attracting a higher calibre of players as we offered them trials. I was right (I think), as we now have 8 new first XI players. Will they be enough to help us survive? I sure hope so. Released by League One Oxford, the fact that we were able to sign Sawyer-Rogers already proves we're able to attract better players. Hill wasn't a product of the trial farm, but my scouts alerted me to the Guiseley, Brentford and eventual Dulwich Hamlet player and we promptly signed him for too much money, but we can afford him for now. We picked up Louis from Bath City in the National League South. Oikonomou came through Salford's academy but National League North side Redditch United had him last. Another find from the scouting department, Luiz Felipe left Norwich to play in the Cymru North, before making the jump to the top division with us. Our second Oxford United reject. Would you believe it, a third Oxford academy product Our final first team member, Bromley of League Two released him. We've gotten off to a great start, defying expectations, but there already seems to be a gap forming between the top 5 and the rest.

Spoiler alert, we did it... Turns out that first win likely would've been enough, there needed to be a 12 goal turnaround in that last game to lose top spot But we're back into the top tier of Wales, and with a wage budget increase of 6x our current one! Best XI Rae Giverin - Chris O'Hanlon - Oliver Milligan Progress

2036 Summer Transfer Window I did the tried and tested "offer everyone who has just been released a trial and see who agrees" strategy, offering trials to everyone from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in every available division. After culling everyone who wasn't between the ages of 20 and 22, that left 180 odd players. 31 accepted trials with me, and 5 made the cut to join the first team. Ignore the last 3 players, they came in through the youth intake in my first season and I signed them ages ago because their trials expired. They were released immediately Fenlon (CB) came from the Welsh Premier League, after coming through the Wigan academy; Giverin (LB) came to us after National League Halifax released him; O'Hanlon (RW) came from the Northern Irish 2nd division; Milligan (CAM) came through the Derry City academy but we picked him up after top division Northern Irish side Ballymena United released him; and Russell (LW) came through Carlisle, but Kidderminster were the last club to release him. Despite our influx of star-studded talent (for this level anyway), we've gotten off to an awful start. But we've been incredibly unlucky. There's plenty of time to turn this around, we're playing well enough to do that. I'll just continue to gaslight myself

January 2036 Transfers (Out) We lose three starters between transfer windows - a DM, a CB and LB. Transfers (In) Even though everyone was going to be a starter when they came in, others pushed them out as we found upgrades or replacements. The immediate starters are Duffy (LB), Furnell (DM), D.Jones (AM), McCashin (LW) and Reece (ST), had Reece not become ineligible because he's played for too many clubs, but that's on me. The new additions have made an immediate impact, including in the narrow loss against the best team in Wales in the League Cup final!

December 2035 I completely glossed over the fact that we're the League Cup final, where we play The New Saints in what should be the first of many clashes during my time here. We're also out of the remaining cups, but went undefeated in the league, rising to 2nd where the gap to Barry isn't changing. We've secured 4 new additions for the January transfer window, with the potential for more. We'll see how things go.
