So, found this to be interesting, and the first time I've had a board do this for me in any of my FM saves ever.
They've decided to expand Brittanica Stadium by 13,870 seats, to a capacity of 41,610. Not that big a deal, stadium expansion is a pseduo regular occurrence on FM. What's interesting, however, is the stadium is closed for 15 months for construction and is not set to re-open until September 2016 and we will be ground-sharing Hillsborough with Sheffield Wednesday for the entire 2015/2016 campaign.
Our success has garnered us tremendous increases in sponsorships as well, with a 10 year new stadium sponsorship deal worth £2m p/a up from 1, a one-year sponsorship deal of 3.3 up from 2.25, main kit sponsor has doubled to 5. The total sponsorship income has nearly doubled to 10.58m from 5.9m
Not really sure what my goals are transfer-wise heading into the summer. I mean we just made it to the CL final for the 2nd year in a row, and won the PL handily. We have a lot of depth all-around and a fairly young team to boot so I'm pretty limited in what I can even upgrade. If anything I'll look for a young CB to put in a rotation with Huth and Shawcross. While I'm a fan of Huth and trust him as much as Shawcross, he is going to be 31 in August. However, he does still have a valuation of 8.25m so now might be a good time to sell and get a replacement. I'm also pursuing contemplating a sale of Giacomo Bonaventura as he is drawing interest from a couple of big Italian sides, and he has a valuation of 14.75m. I only paid 4.5m for him, so it'd be a pretty decent profit if I could get near value for him. I'd mainly consider it because Theo Walcott has been transfer listed by request after having played only 10 and 2 games the last two seasons for them and I'd be thrilled to add him and I wouldn't want Bonaventura to move to the bench.

mg5: Although I think I may hold out until the Steam winter sale, and continue my BSN/S 2 EPL save until then. I'm only in League 2 at the moment, and it will take a few seasons to break through the Championship/EPL barrier.
