I have actually made a signing now, my only one though.

USA International Heath Pearce. I needed back-up to Maloney and he is a natural left-footer who has plenty of pace.

 

Im going to start a game in the scottish first division , not sure who to go though

 

I'd suggest St. Johnstone. They are relatively easy to manage in First division, but prepare to fight not to get relegated from SPL. In my second season they're promoted to SPL and gave me some trouble. Plus, you have Scotland and Andy Jackson.

 

ive decided to go leeds in league one

 

First season should be a breeze Neil

 

Giovinco scored a 45 yard stupendous effort,

I was waiting for a fluke comment myself but the engine has credited him with meaning the shot!

 

I decided to give my fans some entertainment.:icon_mrgreen: By the way, can someone tell me how to tie my players on a long-term contract? Porter, great lad, I wouldn't like to lose him. But he's considering moving to bigger club and I was advised to offer him new contract, but he keeps rejecting my best offer I can afford.

 

You either talk him around if you think you'll get a wage bill next season to offer him a deal that will keep him there or you sell him before the rot sets in. Thats the life of a small club

 

unlucky on the playoffs kieran
im going for promotion through the playoffs for the 2nd year running
will play grimsby or oldham in the final

 

I don't intend to stay small forever. How do you deal with those lads? By selling him or what?

 

Hopefully , ill post my screenies soon

 

I've been lucky that I was taken over at Hibs very early and i've been able to get results in Europe that further aid my cause. I havent had to sell any player that I didnt want to.

Unless you can grow the club at a rate which will match the player's ambitions you'll have to sell.

European results are a major factor for a SPL club IMO

 

i think thats all my in's so far doubt ill get rid of anyone else either



EDIT: Just sold neil kilkenny for 190k

 

Steven Reid is playing for Partizan Belgrade in my game, just noticed it as I'm playing them in a UCL match. Thats fairly random!!

 

How much did they pay for him?

And I'm doing good in the Europe, finished 3rd in group of Europa League. I'm not through to the next round, but I've still beaten Basel and almost won against PSV away.

 

A 4-1 win against Sampdoria, a 1-1 draw against Juve and a 5-1 win over Brescia in my last four games saw me move 8 points clear of relegation spots. Good times.

 

quick reading update
beaten 3-0 away by preston but i am still 1 point ahead at the top of the table , 6 games to go, watford at home , sheffield utd at home , southhampton away , plymouth at home , qpr away and finally birmingham at home.

 

yes just beat reading 4-3 ,in preseason , get it up ye anthony

 

ha get it right up you i beat leeds in the fa cup:bbpd:
on yer way.

 

Yeah but its more of an achievement for leeds to beat reading that reading to beat lads
