Somehow park the bus is insanely good, just gotten a 3-3 draw at Chelsea and a 2-2 draw at Spurs with it. Lucky that everyone at the bottom is shite because a Premier League team in 2023 built around Ross Barkley is not a good one.

Brighton have been relegated on my Saints save, network game and ps5 save lol
Evan Ferguson going cheap in the 2nd/3rd season is always fun. Shame he chose Real Madrid over Saints though, awful decision imo

They did an update today which is meant to have fixed the keepers getting injured, had more of them already this year than my last 10 years on the game.
Few other decent things fixed as well which should improve the game. Main one I want changed now is the amount of penalties that are given when someone clearly wins the ball. Doubt that'll change until the match engine update next year, but its the worst thing on this game so far. Just show the player making an actual foul, rather than clearly winning the ball and the commentary saying 'that looked dubious!'

Hahaha was just about to say. Henderson has been backup for me and got injured in the cup, then Johnstone got injured the next game in the league so I’ve got no fit first team keepers with City coming up in 4 weeks

Well we’ve been massively improved since January but we’re still like 7 points off safety with not long left. If/when we go down I’ll start again, I simplified the tactics and it’s really helped us, I’m determined to make this work, without first window budgets either.

Started again. Simplified the tactics (boot it up to Adebayo), and it’s made a massive difference, we’re still shite, but now we’re in-with-a-chance shite rather than look-out-Derby shite. 3-2-6 after 11 games, few smart signings in January and I’ll be fine.

2 seasons as Luton, 2 relegations 😩 I will make this work. Was sure that all I needed to do was get to January in touching distance, which I did this time but then my board gave me no money and we went 18 games without a win. Lost count of the amount of late defeats we had as well. Not even sure what I’ll attempt for this next season, I think defensively is the way to go (well duh), but the defence is so bad you can’t rely on any clean sheets.

Holidayed a year and took over Venezia after they'd been relegated to Serie C. Having Busio, Cuisance, Ellertsson as a midfield three in the third division of Italian football was like a cheat code.
Back to back promotions later and I'm not about go to into Serie A. Heavily reliant on loans the past year or so, meaning I have 5 first team players who can play top flight football - and only £5M to spend to fill the rest of the team up. Going to be a fun season!

Spurs have been done so dirty on this game. Started as Palace and was doing well with them but got Ange sacked after beating them 2-1 so applied and got the job with Spurs 19th and 5 points from safety in December. They’d just been on a run of losing 4-1 to Bournemouth, 1-0 to City and 3-0 to Sheffield United when I took over. They’re not easy to manage like the front line is abysmal, Son and Bissouma have gone to international tournaments leaving me with Brennan Johnson as my only player capable of playing up front. Richarlison has been sold and as has Oliver Skipp. Brought in Ahmedhodzic, Joey Veerman and Gonçalo Inacio for around £80m combined so now have a job on me to drag them up the table

Ended up comfortably away from relegation and finished 10th, finished the season on a 10 game unbeaten run including a draw against City during the run in. What followed was every key player wanting to leave because they didn’t feel like we could qualify for Europe. I told Son to fuck off but Martin Baturina, a player I’d never heard of until a journalist asked me about him who was 100% a panic buy and ended up contributing massively, had to be kept at all costs. So I’ve promised him we’ll qualify this season and I’m going to bring through some younger players.
Ended up gutting half of the team in the summer. Davies, Vicario, Bissouma, Hojgberg, Dier, Ahmedhodzic (who I’d signed for £15m in January), Gil and Salomon all left, the latter two on loans. So I’ve brought in Zaniolo, Ruggeri (Italian left back), Toney, Geertruida, Gnonto and Trubin. Spent a lot of money but I’m now able to put VDV at centre back again and have more of a threat down that side. Abraham is still scoring for fun and Kulusevski is unreal as an AP on the right. I’m trying to bring Sarr into the first team more now to fill in or play alongside Bentancur. Can’t really find a place for Maddison at all but we started the season with a 5-0 win against Brighton and go to United next so that’ll be a good test. Transfer window is still open so there’s still time for the likes of Son to be sold but as for now he’s coming off the bench which is great for me

Closest I’ve come to save scumming on this year’s game is a 3-2 defeat at home to Luton to a dodgy penalty, a dodgy disallowed goal and a dodgy offside not given against them
Fucking Chris Kavanagh
