eh i dunno

Lost 4_2 to anzhi and finish 12th. Meh of a season. Need to lower my squad size to generate funds. 93 players is too many.

Finally managed to offload guzan in exchange for stanislas who has looked decent this season.

Midlife Crashes

**** yeah!!! Back in D2

AS Roma beat Bayern München 4 - 1 in their Division 1 fixture.
Gervinho scored a brace and was later voted Man of the Match for his performance.
Gomes and Rojo were also amongst the goalscorers.

Meh.

Mourinho

After last weeks shock 1-0 defeat to Palmeiras, hopes of taking the Division 3 title had all but been given up at FC Schalke 04, with automatic promotion even in doubt among-st certain sections of the Veltins.

Travelling to AZ Alkamaar tensions were high, a win would see them at least take second and automatic promotion, anything less could mean the play-offs.

The game started well with young Bernardo Silva, who has recently cemented his place in the starting eleven, opening the scoring on 8 minutes for the away side.

On 25 minutes new Schalke recruit Carlos Casemiro, having arrived from Borussia Dortmund only two days previous scored his first and Schalkes second.

On 63 minutes AZ player Douglas Maicon brought Casemiro down to the left of the AZ box. Paco Alcacer stepped up and smashed in a beautiful third goal, leaving goalkeeper Ben Foster speechless.

With the game effectively in control for FC Schalke all minds were on the result of Malaga v Newcastle United, with Fiorentina already being out of fans minds as the match score stood.

The first of the news filtered through with Schalke fans cheering massively and celebrating, manager Jose Mourinho was then informed that Newcastle were still 2-0 to the good with only precious few minutes left.



While the final whistle was blown for Schalke at least guaranteeing promotion, things were silent until the confirmation came in that Malaga had failed.

The Schalke away contingent erupted into delirious revelry, along with the management and players.







Cheers abounded when manager Jose Mourinho finally managed to taste the glory and hold the trophy he's been chasing all season



* I still stick buy my comments on the match engine being a pain but tis nice win something anyway when I've been playing this long *

Thanks to Panathinaikos, Malaga and Fiorentina for a good season

Lads when does the prize money come in....


Would ya believe it, short 30k for a deal! 30 bloody k!!!!!


EDIT: Typical!!!!!!!!!!!!! So how much did everyone get?

Comic Book Guy

Pick the perfect time to suffer our first defeat in 14 games

2 0 home defeat to Newcastle drops us from top spot to the 3rd on the last day missing out on promotion by a single point, a missed penalty in a 0 0 draw against WBA is not driving me demented at all.

Well done Schalke and Fiorentina.

Now to cry into my pillow and prepare for a 2 1 defeat to Celtic in play-off semi final.

PS right now I hate every single one of ye that thanked Mourihno's post myself included

I lost 2 playoff finals in the GOOD league but also won D4, (eventually) won the D3 playoff and went straight to autoamatic promotion in D2 to find Swindon in D1 .... DONT GIVE UP HOPE MAN ...

The mighty Wolfsburg are champions of div 4 after a emphatic, well some might say ropey as feck 1-0 win with Diego yet again with the winner. There have been some mumblings in the media about stumbling over the line with a point to spare drawing 3 of the last 6 games.... But who cares 😀😀😀

Now to try and get a team for div 3 so lads ye know the drill!!!

Jubilant scenes at la bombonera as Boca get promotion from division 4 in the boards.ie league for the first time in their history. Asamoah Gyan was the player of the season playing 37 games with an average rating of 7.63.

I sent you a private message on the Soccer Manager website. I don't have the second 89 rated player that you requested but lemme know anyway

Roma were given 14.0m for just about staying in the top five to add to their already rather large pot of cash.
