Just about avoided the drop by 3 points, 3 games to go and was on the back of a 11 game run of no wins. 7 points in last 3 clawed us to safety.
Young gun striker stormed his way to 20 goals for his new club, taking just 28 games. 1.1 mill deposited into bank on time. Happy days are here. That money should see us safe for about 10 years as we loose around 120k per season before transfers hence me never actually spending much of my budget.
Top scorer is AML/ST guy who now plays up top alongside exp ST since the hotshot guy left for pasatures ne.
Am finding in Sweden that no one at all will sign on loan for me, they then go and sign for another team playing at the same level.
Almost same situation with transfers, have signed 13 players in 3 years, 10 have left so squad is still pretty small, academy has produced 2 regens now though but neither are ready for 1st team football by a long way.
Dont think West Ham will be up for being hammered, if they turn up and play it should be a good game.
As for freezing my nuts. I tyried moveing from the bench to the stand for the extra body heat, but no one was sat there either! In fact my crowds seem to be in decline.
Should finish season 6 tonight or tomorrow so will pop an update on soon.
Right got myself vaguely sober after cup final weekend so here we go;
Season 4, 2008
Expectations: Avoid Relegation (mine top half)
Funds:
Players in: 5 for 19k total
Out: 4 for free.
Players in have me very excited. Two excellent looking wingers for each side of the field a keeper and 2 CB's
After buying one of the CB's i notice in his positions tab he is not actually a natural anywhere at all.. even at CB he is unconvincig! Bad signing perhaps?
Cup; Dont ask. We were **** upon from a great height and all my players morale took a beating.

Woot a playoff spot vs Forward. 1st leg sees us beat 2-0 at home, we didnt play bad but one of their ST's had the game of his life. Second leg starts well, we score after 2 minutes. 6 minutes in they have a man sent off and we convert the penalty. From there it was never in doubt and we run out 6-0 winners! Huzzah for card happy refs.
Exp ST is once again top scorer with 16. New left winger is on fire and attracting unwanted attention. Right winger i had high hopes for is best described as average.
