Good Luck with Castel di Sangro.

There is a great book that was written about 6 years ago by an American writer who lived with the team. At that point, Castel di Sangro had reached Serie B after rising seven divisions. Its called _Miracle of Castel di Sangro_. Look it up. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I just read a book review about it and it says nothing about those 7 divisions. The miracle is that they got promoted to the serie B against lots of much bigger teams with more finances and 100.000+ population. While Castel Di Sangro is a cold mountain town that barely holds 5000 people in it.
The fact that the trainer was one big screwup only makes the book more interesting.

My next seoson update and again no money to spend and new training facilities and 5,000 more seats in the stadium board expectations are to battle bravely against relegation my expectations are to hopefully stay up 3 promising looking youngsters from the academy with better stats then first teamers so i finish 13th.
With a job offer from genoa i have accepted i now am in the seie a am i allowed to continue or do i have to stop as i am top flight now?

A step up to Serie A after two promotions with Caste di Sangro sounds a reasonable move. Carry on and enjoy yourself.
