Top of Div 2 after 13 games and we’ve sabotaged our main rivals. 

Off to Springfield next. 

Roberto Martinez tried to stop us but the rest of the team have been spending too much time in Moe’s lately.

Breaking News: Guy Whiitingham is shit!

He’s costing me £6,600 per week to sit on the bench. He’s Stoke’s problem now and I pick a sub goalkeeper instead of grey. Tidy

I’ve reverted back to my go-to formation.

And we’re going great guns in the league. Another 4-2 win.

12 points clear.

Not much interest from bigger clubs though, which is worrying.

Leyton Orient in their search for a GK have come in for Walton. I’m conflicted and will be putting a lot of faith in my new back up keeper. But I’ve had Griffo before and he done well in Div 1 in a previous blog so I decided to do it. He should be an upgrade on Kiwomya, who I can now sell. 

Griffiths is still Japanese, and will be invoking Kirisute Gomen on anyone who dares questions his honour. 

First game after this deal. Morgan concedes 3 and Griffths gets a 6 and blanks. What have I done.?

Whack!

Griffiths hasn’t played all season and taking a while to get going. I believe there’s a player there. He gets off the mark against the Swans in the Windscreen as we maintain our ‘Best in Wales’ title.

Granted it’s against lower opposition, but Griffo is starting to turn it on.

He’s really kicking on now. And Morgan has kept a couple of cleans sheets. Maybe the sponsor shouldn’t have whacked that skateboarder after all. Sorry, kid. 

Griffo’s value has shot up to £1m. 

I can sell Kiwomya. We get a good deal £830k + DC Chailliner. We are desperately short at the back with Gillespie-regen injured for 2 months. 

Wasn’t Challiner the guy who had the ridiculous long throw?

Yes he is. Thought the name rang a bell. Shame we can’t deploy it on this game.

Welcome aboard anyway, sir. May your stay be short and profitable. 

Herrera is a sub-7 fullback. Steady but definitely not good enough. Premier League City are offering out of favour Sheridan who helped them get promoted + £100k. No brainer. Deal sanctioned.

Superb debut as well. 

Big Vince comes in. He was my only half decent defender in Football League Trophy Manager for Birmigham ‘91. He’ll come in handy for the rest of the season.

Out of the FA Cup vs Blackburn. Scott sent off. Meh. 

This is an interesting signing. Smeets has a 7.41 average in a poor Wigan team. For £230k + Challiner it’s worth exploring. 

Goodbye Dave. You served your purpose. 

Transfer deadline day. Sheridan leaves and no-one comes in. Shit! Didn’t realise he had a big club release clause. Before the owner starts kicking more skateboarder, I’m suggesting to buy a Sheff Utd player for £1.1m or less to even it up in the next window. Can’t be losing players like this or this whole thing will be over faster than a virgin on a MILF.

Wayne Brown comes in with Scott going the other way. High hopes for Brown and its a club-record fee. 7.27 average at Chesterfield. Should do well.

Let’s finish this season off then. 7 games left – 8 points clear,.

We say goodbye to Div 2 with a win at the Posh.

99 points. Into the Div 1 next season. Interestingly Orient didn’t make the play-offs with the likes of Stanic and Di Biagio. Hopefully they’ll be released on a free and order will be restored to the galaxy.

Looking at my squads lack of quality & interest from better teams. We may have reached our ceiling. But we’ll press on and see what happens. See you next week maybe. Toodle-doo for now.
