So.

Lewes is given the max of $2000000000 and Jose Mourinho takes the helm on a four year contract. To be able to attract players they have the maximum reputation of 10000.

However, they still start with their own players and backroom staff with the same chairman and the same stadium.

So, the questions here:

1. How many players will Lewes buy in the first season?

2. When will they get promoted?

3. Subsequently, how far will they go before they disappear into mid-table obscurity? League 1? Championship?

4. When will Jose be poached away?

5. When will their stadium hit its maximum capacity of 5000?

6. Also, will they fill up their stadium every match?

7. When will they get a new stadium?

My hypothesis:

1. How many players will Lewes buy in the first season?

They'll probably revamp their whole squad.

2. When will they get promoted?

First season seems very likely if they do spend their money.

3. Subsequently, how far will they go before they disappear into mid-table obscurity? League 1? Championship?

I think that they can reach the premiership.

4. When will Jose be poached away?

End of first season.

5. When will their stadium hit its maximum capacity of 5000?

First season.

6. Also, will they fill up their stadium every match?

The signings should inspire such a revolution.

7. When will they get a new stadium?

They will probably start building it at the end of the season.

Potential roadblock number 1:



Their estimated value is 23.5m, hmm whom embezzled the other 976.5m?

retired_tdod

Isn't estimated value just an estimate?

Hopefully, anyway the first update and it's looking very well for Lewes already.

Mid-Season Review

1. How many players will Lewes buy in the first season?

They'll probably revamp their whole squad.

(My guess was right, but I am really surprised that they only sold 1 player)

2. When will they get promoted?

First season seems very likely if they do spend their money.

(Definitely getting promoted)

3. Subsequently, how far will they go before they disappear into mid-table obscurity? League 1? Championship?

I think that they can reach the premiership.

(Hopefully their finances don't diminish too soon, or else they'll probably have lots of debts in 2 years time or so.)

4. When will Jose be poached away?

End of first season.

(I hold true to this statement.)

5. When will their stadium hit its maximum capacity of 5000?

First season.

(I was wrong, maybe the middle of the 3rd season.)

6. Also, will they fill up their stadium every match?

The signings should inspire such a revolution.

(A bit wrong here too, but it is gradually rising)

7. When will they get a new stadium?

They will probably start building it at the end of the season.

(Wrong about this one too)
