Thanks to all the advice from a few weeks ago, I am totally immersed in my save. I started with the Wolves and moved them all the way up to the PRM division, but I couldn't really move into the top half of the table due to low wage budget and transfer budget (plus my inability to determine good cheap buys and utilize the free transfers). I ended up down loading a home and an away 4-3-3 tactic that I like. I enjoy trying to fit my team around this tactic and create the team. I am still playing FMC and instant resulting everything.

The Tottenham job opened and they hired me. It took a while but I finally won the PRM division after several top 3 finishes and looked on my way to defend the title with about 8 games left. Out of nowhere my star DC got all cranky about squad size. Instead of assuring him that he is still my starter, I basically told him to screw off and not worry about it. He got super pissed, it killed the squad harmony and we went something like 1W-1D-6L down the stretch to fall into 4th place. I had to sell him.

In the meantime, I made 3 Champions Cup finals, but lost to Barcelona, Man U and then Man U again on penalties. The 2 Man U losses were in back-to-back years. The year of my PRM division meltdown, I torched Barcelona 6-2 agg in the 2nd knockout round, but we got blasted by some 2nd rate squad in the quarters due to the total meltdown.

It is the 2028-2029 season now and we are atop the division once again with 13 games to play and heading into the Champ Cup knockout rounds. I feel like I need to win that damn cup to have a complete career. I'll probably move on from Tott once I do it and take over a lower level team again now that I have a good grip on the game.
