Well done! My first season with Sutton was £150k! Second season so far and survived.

 

[No1newts]

I randomly got given a 16mill budget so I spent 10 and converted 6 into wages so I've got about 270k a week now for the season.

I probably should have had one more championship season to consolidate but we'll see. Not optimistic!

How many points did you stay up by?

 

[Frosti]

I've finally managed to get Hayes & Yeading to the Premier League! It took ten seasons in all very chuffed!

 

[No1newts]

Good job!

Cheers, I bought it from CD Keys afterward for £12, the install was only 1.6GB in Steam though, that doesn't seem right?

I hope you sign me .

How many points did you stay up by?

First season with £10 mill budget and £150k wages, finished 10th

Second season with £32 million and £1.2 million wages, won the BPL, and FA Cup

You were a conference n/s level keeper at Chesterfield in mine! Retired after being released from there though so I have go continue a save from about 5 seasons ago to make you into a Sheffield Wednesday legend...

Thoughts on first season...

Spoiler

The Good;

• Depay was a fantastic purchase, played 40 + games for me but have been unable to have him scoring as usual (averaged 1 goal per appearance on previous saves played in the same manner).
• De Gea. Most clean sheets, all the defence played excellently and only conceded 20 times.

The Bad;

• Forwards. Strikers. Van Persie (managed 12 appearances, 8 goals) was injured for the majority of the season. Rooney (17 appearances, 9 goals) was injured and generally rubbish. Falcao had his loan terminated straight away. Wilson and Kane had good seasons, but the majority of goals came from the attacking midfielders.
• Rooney spent half the season bitching about a lack of playing time (was injured) and the other half bitching about achieving everything he could with the club.

Second season .

• Kaluba, Sunderland

• Pogba, Juventus

I'm still trying to move some players out of the club, Henriquez for example has just joined West Brom for £2.5 million.
