      I love having Roy Keane as my ass man at Norwich. "JUST GO OUT AND BREAK SOMEONES LEG!"

        Well, I finished 1st in the Bundesliga, Lost in the German Cup Final, and won the Champions' League Final, only to be met with an ownership change in the heart of transfer season, cutting about 10 million euros from the sale of my two key transfers Reus was out for 37 Million and Destro out for 51 Million, both to Bayern. I snatched up the usual 19-22 year old 4-5 star PA guys which my scouts had compiled over the past season.

        Now I'm entering the season, decidedly weaker than last, however with more potential to end with a stronger starting XI. The transfers out 4 Free, and the 2 above averaged an age of 32. Now the team averages 24 years of age and while there will be more growing pains, I will be more tempted to stay at Dortmund than run to the first top class job that appears (although if Real or Barca come along I may not refuse, having never played a save in BBVA).

          Spain is interesting with their registration rules. One benefit to Spain is that Africans count as EU nationals. Also if sign a player from South America or Central America they only take two years to become a Spanish citizen vs the normal 5 years (I believe). Not that you have to worry about that in Germany.

              I'm at something like 250 hours of gameplay so far.

              Started a Santos save to boost my domestic bias and get rid of work permits so I can actually get some young South Americans to develop for me in Scotland.

                Nub. I'm at 327.

                Also, just took over at Real Madrid after they sacked Mourinho in 2021 (wtf). 301 million dollar transfer budget

                  Just won the Europa League with Norwich. Newcastle surely regrets selling me Adam Campbell now.

                    501 million dollar transfer budget at the mid-season, I'm starting to think the budgeting system is broken, then again, trying to buy a player at Real for less than 90 Million is impossible.

                      That's just retarded money.

                      I'm looking at starting a new save, thinking Viking in Norway or AIK in Sweden....

                        How much is your annual sponsor intake? I started a Man U save, saw the $222 million from sponsors and my head nearly exploded.

                          It's hard to turn down Viking, being situated in Stavanger with that bad fucking ass sword monument is pretty fucking dope.



                          Going to only sign players from the Scandinavian countries to include Finland and any other country that borders the North Sea and Baltic Sea.

                          Edit- I lied, going with AIK. The registration rules with regard to players being labeled as homegrown is easier to get around in Sweden. Plus AIK offers more upside in terms of potential for European success.

                            I think I'll join you in a Scandinavian(plus finns and baltics)-only play through, but I'll manage "the coldest club in the world." Finland's Rovaniemen Palloseura!

                              Give a look at Roope Riski. He's on loan at TPS, but you should be able to get him for like 60k. Not sure about the finances at your club but he'd be a great addition. He's coming in during the Jan window for me.
