    Your Inter hate is so irrational. Pissed at them because you screwed up. I don't get it.

      I screwed up, I admit that, but seriously not offering me a new contract after winning as much as I did, until after I go on a month-to-month contract. I'm a bitter person.

        Managing a team in Liga Adelante sucks since there is no prize money awarded. My Llagostera team is broke and worth a amazing £1.
        I know that struggle, I always try to link up with a team in the spanish lower divisions, this time, the only one my board found was Getafe.

          I asked for a parent club 3 times and they could not find one to link with all those 3 times. My club is over achieving BIG time, my squad is not that great yet somehow we have the second to last playoff spot. 100-1 odds to win the title, projected to finish dead last and my wage budget went from 32,000 pounds to 28,000.

            After couple of games, took over Derby. Went through a stretch where I didn't win any games.



            However at the end, I went on a 6 game unbeaten run against mid table teams to stay up with 34 points.

                Just because it gives me the stats, I find it infuriating that my team gives up the most goals in the 45-60 and 75-90 minute marks, a whopping 70% of our goal concessions.

                EDIT: Also, of course, get Dortmund away as the first Bundesliga match, i'm now 0-3 at Signal Iduna ;(

                      I was kind of researching 2nd division clubs around the world, mainly in Spain, Italy, and Germany. Looking for kind of a mainstay in the second division; a team who isn't horrible, but one who has struggled to gain promotion.

                      Wound up with a few "finalists" but ended up picking FC St. Pauli in 2. Bundesliga



                      Their supporters seem pretty badass, haha.



                      THE PIRATES OF ST. PAULI FC St. Pauli
                      Fewer clubs in Germany enjoy a greater global following than FC St. Pauli - regardless of the fact that the club located in the heart of old Hamburg have spent a total of just eight years in the Bundesliga. The reason for FC St. Pauli's popularity is their very singular identity. The fans have more of a say in the running of the club than is the case elsewhere, and the skull and crossbones flag seen flying at their matches symbolises their pride in being the poor underdogs on a quest to rob the rich of points.
                      Just started setting up my team and formations. Kind of bummed to see that my best player already has a transfer deal in place to go to Hoffenheim after the season. But there are some young, promising players on the roster.

                      Excited to get started and try to earn promotion to the Bundesliga!

                            After a good three years at Leverkusen, I'll be stepping down. Mostly so I can find a smaller club, However, there will be no ill will this time, so I won't be destroying the team on the way out Inter style

                            Also, St. Pauli is one of my favorite clubs to take over.

                            EDIT: decided to step away from the save and just make a new one, any suggestions on a new country?

                              Somehow sitting in 4 in the league in January, but just sold Will Hughes to City for 50M. Had about 2 years left on his contract, but didn't think I could get anything done.

                                Got bored with my Liverpool save, so decided to try and beat the drop with Eintracht Braunschweig. After stumbling out of the gates with 5 straight losses, it's starting to come together. Table going into the break.



                                Got to the 3rd round of the Pokal, where we drew away to Bayern. Only lost 0-1. But more importantly, shared gate revenue. Cha-ching!
