Itten is 8 goals in 10 in the league, while Roofe is 8 in 9. Just after I posted this went into first OF game of the season. We were 10 from 10 and had only conceded 3 goals and had scored 34. Ryan Jack got sent off after 5 minutes for going through someone and I got beat 2-1. Absolutely raging, haven't played it since Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnsey 1,540 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I ended up turning down Aberdeen as just didn't fancy that move. Still like the idea of jumping ship to a bigger club, though. My board at Arbroath aren't the best financially. We went professional and they gave me my budgets (of which I'm still well under, £7k a week under on wage budget alone!) but we've gone from a club turning a small profit each week to one that is not nearly £500k in the red in 6 months Currently sitting 4th in the Championship after 22 games. St. Mirren and Dundee are miles out in front. I may have mentioned before that we made our record transfer this season, a striker from League 1 or 2 in England. Our biggest earner as well. He failed to score in his first 7 games, missed a penalty and got injured for 4 months. He's just come back, played 5 mins and is out for another 2 weeks! Reminds me of CM01/02 I think it was, I spent mega money brining Juan Carlos Valeron to Rangers to take us to the next level and he turned in 6.00 performances every single week until I sold him falkirkNS 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always keep him around for the HG quota. He's usally happy at being backup to a more quality keeper.

Could get anyone and it wouldn't really matter in this years game. They've increased the randomness of the youth intake so that even if you have the best HoYD and have the best facilities and coaching you still will probably end up with shite. I've got Brian Klug at Newcastle in my save who is decent on paper but if you can get a regen HoYD staff then they always have the best attributes, personality, tactics etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have won the treble if I didn't play my reserves in the Betfred Cup. The Scottish league is far too easy. Tried a new save with Derby and won the Championship but look like going straight back down this season. The new EU/Brexit rules have absolutely killed the fun of being able to go out and try and get all the wonderkids. Unless it's a fully established international you don't get work permits for anyone Relegated with Derby. Had agreed to take the Fiorentina job over at the end of the season around February and didn't realise this meant I couldn't resign and wouldn't be sacked because of the compensation so had to see it out Finished 6th in my first season in Serie A and won the league and Europa League in the 2nd season albeit the league was won with a ridiculously low points total. Got frustrated at the lack of movement with transfers. Kept getting lowball offers when trying to move on players and ended up leaving in pre season to takeover Lyon. Don't see me winning the title with them any time soon as PSG are relentless with a front 3 of Mbappe, Haaland and Neymar plus a 36/37 year old Messi still in their squad too. Still say the game seems a bit too easy this year though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnsey 1,540 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Been playing Dead by Daylight with pals every night at the moment so not had too much time to carry on my save I left Arbroath for struggling Motherwell (mainly because Allan Campbell was still in their team) and joined a side that were well over their budget but hardly had much of a squad. Brought in my striker O'Connell from Arbroath and after an OK start we started to slip down the table. Missed the top 6 but won every game after the split to seal 7th place. We got to the final of the Scottish Cup against all odds. Knocked out Rangers and celtic in replays and played Aberdeen in the final who had pipped us to 6th. They started with an outrageous young striker that had only had 4 professional games before that for them. Tore me apart and scored twice as they beat us 2-1. Just about into July ahead of the new season and recruited Jack Grimmer, Cameron MacPherson and Callum Hendry for some squad depth. Got a young centre back called Sam Campbell who is quality in the game. Brentford triggered his £6m release clause but he rejected the move. I'm hoping if he stays I can build the squad around the Campbell's at the club - Dean, Sam and Allan falkirkNS 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aird 3,770 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Currently, Newcastle and just started on my 2nd season over the past 2 years I've spent close to £52m signings players from Rangers.
