Where Eagles Dare – Part 1: Introducing BEEFCO

Finally, an idea has arrived. Something has awoken and it’s all Nath’s fault.

Their plan is for European domination which will inevitably lead to World Domination, as let’s face it, clubs outside of Europe aren’t up to much on CM9798.

We’re out of Europe and the League Cup, and have drawn PSG in the main cup, so that’ll probably be short-lived, but at least that way we’ll have no distractions from trying to finish strongly in the league. Let’s f*cking go…

Bonjour! If you’ve followed this adventure for all eight seasons so far, I salute you!

Let the summer recruitment commence…
