Just a quick update - I've reached the preseason friendly stage of Dover's first year in the Premier League.
The board have increased my transfer budget from £120,000 last year to over £9,000,000 (!!) this season and my wage budget has shot up to over £130,000 from about £50,000 last year.
It's amazing how much difference in revenue there is between the Championship and the Premier League, with television revenue being the most eye-opening change (I believe we are receiving over £36,000,000 this year just for television rights...incredible!).
I'm still in the process of adding new, premier league-quality players to the squad - it's fun having world-class players being interested in my team for the first time and one of my additions is Ashley Young, who in-game is an aging left winger/attacking mid in the twilight of his career but has great experience at the international level with England.
I'm tempted to start a dynasty post here about my exploits.
