Positive finances or better after Kwame Nichols YP7a's sale.
Thoughts
We started off the season with an unlucky loss to Nantwich followed by two comfortable wins and good point against Halifax. A slight and unlucky loss against Chorley was again followed up by a four game unbeaten run including 3 wins. Our league form then dropped as we failed to win any of the next four before recording two more wins and a loss going into November. Frustratingly our form once again deserted us as we lost in an FA Cup 1st Round Replay against Eastbourne Borough where a game against Chippenham of the South would have been the prize. We largely remaining inconsistent for the rest of the year as we go into the new year sat in 14th.

The depth at which you go into is incredible and something I wish I had the skills and time to do.
Looks like you’ve started the season well.

I do have another lad who is better but in a different position.

Not the upgrades I'd have gone for personally, but glad to see you making progress off the pitch and also come through the takeover unscathed.
Really enjoying this read!
Only ones that were available. The youth recruitment and the other one haven’t yet popped up again.
Still disappointed I was greedy.

I suppose I should be alright then.

I've got the kit issue.
I'm still in this save. I will post soon. Just need to recap the 11 seasons or so I have completed. In England with Basford United. Had my first proper sale. Gutted about it though as I was greedy. I'll try and post this weekend but enjoying it so much. Already complete 211 hours.

Player Sale - Kwame Nichols YP7a
Ove the course of August, Portsmouth of Championship status decided they'd try to poach Kwame Nichols YP7a. I'd decided to push and over the month they started at around £5k. By the middle of August I'd got them up to £500k, 50% of next sale and a friendly. Which included protesting to the board when they offered about £145k after I rejected £170k a few days before. They say you should never be greedy. Well I was. Despite saying I would accept £500k, 50% of next sale and a friendly I rejected it. Portsmouth went away and on deadline day they decided to over £500k plus a friendly. I couldn't protest as I'd used that card but could ask for more. The board agreed but I didn't realise that they'd only add a clause for 10 games which equated to £550k plus a friendly. Gutting but also never be greedy.
Nichols departs after 190 league games scoring one goal and getting 19 assists.
The positive news is I've been able to request these. But whether they happen is another thing.

Pre-Season 2032-33
Predictions
Media Prediction: 20th
Title Odds: 50-1
Board Expectations
Vanarama National League North: Avoid Relegation
FA Cup: Third Qualifying Round
FA Trophy: First Round
The Squad
I'd decided to have a tactical reshuffle and we'd go to a 4-1-2-1-2 wide diamond as I felt we suited it.
Transfers
James Tague departed as he doesn't suit the DM or AM role as well as being 31. Shamroy Roach YP9h went out on loan to his native British Virgin Islands for 6 months. Paul Nicholson, Guy Ashworth, Pascal Schmid & Konstantinos Nikoloau also departed as I released them. Jordon Priestnall also departed one day into August.
Results
Solid set of results again as expected.

Very unlucky. Hate play-off losses. I’m sure you’ll win the title next season.

Basford United 2031-32 Season Review
A tough season again but 17th can be seen as a success. We're still too inconsistent and that hurts us. Cruelly dumped out the FA Cup again and it doesn't seem like we'll ever get that dream third round tie.
Key Players
Niall Towle - Somewhat back to his best with 38 goals from 53 games. However, he's getting on so I need a replacement asap.
Ismael YP4a - Is crucial on the wing or as a second striker. Bagged 12 goals and 11 assists from 47 games.
Paterne Mutombo YP9d - Grabbed 13 assists and 4 goals from 31 games as a second striker. He'll be the CAM in the new formation.
Mykelti Weatherly YP4c - Only kept 10 clean sheets in 37 games but he averaged well over 7 and kept alot of games respectable.
Jake Gray YP1e - Seemed somewhat back to his best as played 43 games with an average of 7.01. Performed well with Morrison YP2b.
Ryan Morrison YP2b - Played 52 games with ten goals and averaged 7.15.
Best Youth
None.
Youth Breakout 2032-33 Season
Joao Silva YP10a - The 6'5 striker is a suitable poacher. Hopefully he can perform when I need him to.
Other News
None.
Next Seasons Expectations
Nothing has changed. Stay up and get a cup run. I'm planning a tactical reshuffle to a 4-1-2-1-2 wide diamond.

A tough second half to the season as we chopped and changed tactics and setups to try and get something to work. Our best run of the second half of the season came when all the squad were together. But once they'd split again we were done and we only picked up one more win against Brackley in which we had 5 shots on target and less than 1 xG. They had an xG of about 3.73.

Youth Intake
An okish intake with two players that look like they could progress for now. Riley 11a promoted to the first team squad.
Also had this guy poached.

So big news coming out of Basford. Another takeover. But I've kept my job.
First news is the owner has terminated the link with Forest. The man who won the battle was Sean Ahmed.
He's improved our finances by taking out a loan of £400k but we're now just short of £300k in the black.
I've also got a couple of things out of him already including..

When does enough become enough....
Thoughts
Another half season of frustration but on the face of things, being mid-table is ok. We aren't consistent enough to challenge for the play-offs still. We started with a three game unbeaten run before three losses were followed by 6 game unbeaten run. The cup games against Solihull Moors were annoying as we matched them at their place(they were third and league above). Then at home we were leading comfortably before they scored 4 quick goals to basically kill our hopes. This didn't impact our league form much as we secured some good wins. Going into the rest of November and December we've not had our usual slump and whilst we're 15th, we're in a good place.

I would genuinely be gutted if that happened. I haven’t slaved away for 12 seasons to have some new owner fob me off.

Thought I'd run through a couple of youngsters who have improved a fair bit as we look to start the 2031-32 season. With no off the field improvements I don't think we're doing too bad.

Basford United 2030-31 Season Review
I genuinely had high hopes when we were getting results whilst not playing well. Then we kicked on another level. As we sat 3rd after 17 I really felt we'd hit another gear and it would be a play-off finish. That didn't happen and we had the Basford bottle. Eventually finishing 16th and worse off than last season. I feel until we get a new owner and a few upgrades we'll have this regular cycle.
Key Players
None.
Best Youth
Palerne Mutombu YP9d - Burst onto the scene in blistering form with 4 assists and 3 goals from 10 games as the deep lying forward. As our form dipped, he dropped but I'm hopeful he'll get better and more consistent. Finished with about 7 goals and 7 assist from about 35 games.

Nothing has changed. Stay up, get a cup run and hope this owner goes away.

We started January much like we finished December. In rubbish form. That continued into February before we beat play-off chasing Darlington 4-1 in a surprise result where we honestly were class. That ended a run of no wins twelve/thirteen games. We then followed that up with some decent form for the rest of Feb and March. For the last 5 or 6 games I trialled a new tactic of 3-4-3 and as you can see it didn't work so we'll be reverting back to the 3-1-4-2.
