Sporting Eeyore – Part 8: Fourteen Goal Thriller

Bonjola and welcome back to Spain, where Sporting Gijon are accelerating my descent to grey hair. Or maybe that should be ascent, it could be a positive. I’ll let you know. Anyway, the once-worst-team-in-Spain are coming off the back of a third place finish, so now we have the small task of hunting down El Clasico competitors. It’s early day yet, I suppose. It’s season 3.

Sporting Eeyore – Part 6: Best of the Rest

Hola and happy Sunday to you. I hope you’ve been enjoying this save so far, I find it hard to believe we are now at the end of season two. There are 21 games to get through in this episode, so we best get straight to it. I’ll work on the pacing, this is a bit lopsided. Anyway, we’re well placed to get back into Europe via our league position, but I can’t see it being too likely we’ll break the Clasico dominance.

Sporting Eeyore – Part 3: Running up that Hill

Hola and welcome back to Gijon, which I have learned is a North-Western City in Spain.

Hello, or maybe that should be Hola, except I don’t know how to do the upside down exclamation thingy. It’s good to be back. I’ve had a bit of a self imposed exile from Champ Manager. It’s not that I don’t like the game, it’s just when you’ve done more or less everything there’s not loads that motivates me. I’ve also been busy, tired, you know the usual things that come with being an adult. Anyway, let’s see if I remember how to do this.

Where are we? Here:

Top 10 at 10: Bargain Buys!

Greetings and welcome to the final top 10 at 10. You’ve all done a great job of celebrating 10 years of this place so thank you for your interaction with these lists but also over the previous 10 years.

For my final list, I’ve put together a list of players who I think are my SOS players. Mostly these will be signings for lower league sides but some of them can do a job elsewhere, which we’ll get onto. Also the prices of contracted players can of course change, so this is just an “in my experience” type deal. Anyway, shall we?
