We had a good season!! After finishing 9th and then 8th the last two seasons, we managed to make the leap up to a 6th placed finish and now have the rather daunting prospect of European football next season to look forward to.
How did we make the leap of 13 extra points whilst spending only £2.7m?

In season 3 we missed out on a European place by 1 spot. I now need to figure out a way to get us to the next level on what will be a small, or non-existence transfer budget (depends how the Stengs situation turns out).
Here I’m going to dissect the first team squad and have a look at what youth can break into the first team set up. Hopefully this will show who the team needs building around and who can move on, and potentially raise transfer funds in the process.

A lot has happened in the last few days in the virtual world of Football Manager.
After taking a step back and realising we’d won only 1 of our last 8 La Liga games it was time for a change.
There’s been highs, there’s been lows…
