Stal Stalowa Wola - Poland - PKO Ekstraklasa - season 10 - 2033/34 Preview looked horrible but everything went better than expected. A lot of positions covered with talent and quite nice CA's A very succesfull season, first championship in clubs history and a semi final of Europa League Training facilites have reached max level, but what's most important the details of new stadium were revealed. Will get nearly doubled capacity (although it'll still be one of smallest stadiums in Ekstraklasa) and the stadium will be named after one of club legends, a goalkeeper and long time captain Tomasz Wietecha

Stal Stalowa Wola - Poland - PKO Ekstraklasa - season 9 - 2032/33 Looks quite nice with potential, two best prospects are Dawid Lis - a versatile fullback and Guilherme Maciel - Portuguese forward who seems to suit better at left wing, both with nice personalities Best season so far and we're going back to continental cups. Thanks to winning a Polish Cup this year it's going to be Europa League instead of Conference League so tougher competition but a chance for beter money. Shortly after last game when we got all the prizes and bonuses the board decided to improve youth facilities by themselves, I didn't even had to ask

Stal Stalowa Wola - Poland - PKO Ekstraklasa - season 8 - 2031/32 A pretty good intake, I forgot to take a screenshot of the squad but here's the best player out of them. Already good enough to be a starter quite often Slightly worse season but we were just 1 win away from qualifying to Europe again. We did really good in ECL, we avoided top quality teams which got us up to round of 16. Some of our key players signed new long contracts without release clauses so squad looks pretty safe and solid Euro competition prizes were invested right away. Training facilities will be probably 18/20 once finished so only one upgrade left to max. Stadium expansion eventually changed to 6587 seats just at the season change which is maximum possible capacity for a current one. I wonder how long we will have to wait until the board decide to build a brand new one

Stal Stalowa Wola - Poland - PKO Ekstraklasa - season 7 - 2030/31 This year brought us a group of talented defenders Fantastic season and we're going to Europe. Legia won Polish Cup (defeating us in final) so we were able to get a Conference League spot from the 5th place Another big loss before the season started caused by a minimum release clause. A little dissapointing because his value was rising above those 1,1m but there were no other teams interested to make a bidding war or atleast try to squeeze a next sale % clause There were some takeover rumors throughout the years but it finally happened. New owner looks kinda generous giving us a 6m bonus which was immediately turned into some upgrades

Stal Stalowa Wola - Poland - PKO Ekstraklasa - season 6 - 2029/30 Long time no posting and as I am few seasons ahead it's time to catch up with updates. Average intake, the player who looks most promising is DL Kamil Gawroński, rest of higher potential kids juts lacks better personalities 7th place again but this time we had to battle in the lower half of table. We've lost our best player Igor Michalski at the beginning of the season, Lech Poznać paid his release clause, but that created a chance for Łukasz Antonik promoted from u19 and he made the best out of it.

Stal Stalowa Wola - Poland - PKO Ekstraklasa - season 5 - 2028/29 Bunch of nice defeders as promissed, it's nice for a better squad balance Really good season, we were even a sniffing around a continental cups qualification for a few weeks, but it's our time yet. Good run in domestic cup also, we've reached quarterfinals The board got us a senior affiliate club on their own. Unfortunately it's just so they can have a first option on our players, I don't know if it's any help for our intakes. But +50k annualy is better than nothing

Looks like Tato skin or very similar

Stal Stalowa Wola - Poland - PKO Ekstraklasa - season 4 - 2027/28 Very nice group, but again 2/3 of best youngsters are unambitious. We finished midtable but only thanks to great performance after winter break. We have pretty nice depth in offensive formation so I need to keep some of youngsters in u19 team and they just almost won top tier of Polish youth league finnishing 2nd just 1pt behind Legia. Junior coaching and recruitment already maxed out, and we're the only club in the whole country to get them both 20/20 Training facilities also being upgraded constantly, twice this season. But second time, after all bonuses were paid out, my request was accepted, just the next day our youth facilities got downgraded and we had not enough money left to get them back so we need to wait probably a whole year until we can afford it.

I don't think it's a bug per se, just a slight inconvenience Anyway, time to post last season update

I use that too, helps when you multitask and don't pay attention to FM 100% of the time. I have one issue with it though, whenever game stops simulating it jumps to next unread message but with auto continue it can sometimes skip a lot of messages so I need to look back through them (that are already marked as read) just to not miss anything improtant. Is there any workaround, maybe you can change it somewhere in setting so it won't go to inbox as default?

Stal Stalowa Wola - Poland - PKO Ekstraklasa - season 3 - 2026/27 Michalski and Borkowski seems like a best fit at the moment, but I think they will stay in u19s most of the time. We even got a Colombian newgen but he's pure rubbish We safely stay in top division although first half of the season was tough. I'm not happy with my DC's, they all performed horrible - that's what my HoYD should be focused on. My offensive youngsters on the other hand did well, Kaczmarczyk and Kieliszek became regular starters and they don't dissapoint. The board is quite open for upgrades, both junior coaching and recruitment. We got them increased at the begining of the season and later after last game when all the bonuses and prizes filled our bank account. Soon we should be amongst top teams in Poland when it comes to facilities

It always looks ridiculous, you get D-rated preview which is crap but calls it a good intake, really optimistic

Stal Stalowa Wola - Poland - Fortuna I Liga - season 2 - 2025/26 Filip Kaczmarczyk looking really good, first team ready, he'll probably be my starting AMC, needs some mentoring though. Maciej Kieliszek can be a backup striker and a few more to look up. Unexpected promotion but we never fell below top4 and opponents missed lot of points. We did it despite huge injury problems like my best DC Damian Oko torn his ACL in november missing rest of the season and a lot of minor ones to other players. Youngsters did a good job, maybe not the best ratings but given the final result I'm optimistic with them. My main concern is losing 3 important players - Bartosz Wiktoruk, Dominik Kościelniak and Michał Mydlarz - same case with all of them, they were complaining about squad not being strong enough and just after last game when we were celebrating they wanted to talk and decided to leave on a free transfer next year to move for a bigger club - good luck then. They're listed now but no one is interested. The board agreed to invest more money into youth recruitment and we're also getting a small stadium expansion just to have minimum 4500 seats required in Ekstraklasa Finances at the day of seasonchange

@KOWAL I think it should be fine as long as you have a proof he came through your intake, if I remember correctly it happened before to some other managers here

You've probably waited until last days with offering him a contract and he signed right after the end of trial period so it recognizes it as a transfer
