Happy hump day and happy June. Here’s Dan with the latest from the Stuttgart Kickers…

Dortmund have been relegated, and have just £4m in the bank. This kind of offer explains why they’re in the mess they’re in. It’s not my problem. I accept it but the player rejects them.

When I started this save, the five objectives were as followed:

1 – Win promotion to the Bundesliga.

2 – Establish ourselves as a solid Bundesliga outfit.

3 – Win the Bundesliga.

4 – Win the European Cup.

5 – Win the Intercontinental Cup.

The first four have been achieved. Now it’s time for number five.

Happy hump day! Here’s Dan with the Kickers’ latest attempt at glory…

We can’t help but be in entertaining matches against these guys.

Happy hump day! Here’s Dan and the Kickers – a good band name? We’ll work on it.

Showing how far we’ve come, we’re heavily represented at the Euros.

Happy hump day. Here’s Dan with the latest from Stuttgart, where the Kickers are looking to retain the Bundesliga…

Our main focus this season is the Champions League.

We strengthen with a great summer of business. The regens of Mons-Ivar Mjelde, Paolo Maldini and Luis Enrique come in for less than £2m combined.

The 02/03 season got off to a decent start last week for Dan but can Stuttgart Kickers maintain that momentum as the winter rolls around?

A 2-2 draw in Glasgow in the second leg sets up a, err, glamourous fourth-round tie.

Happy hump day! Here’s Dan with more from Germany – and a CM legend is on the way!

I’ve only been chasing him for five years!

Happy hump day! Here’s Dan with more from the Kickers…

We broke for winter 11 points behind 1860, having played two games more. Now, in early March, a huge home win over the leaders cuts the gap to just five points.

Happy Hump day! The descent to the weekend starts here with the soothing words of Dan, as the Kickers look to…Kick On.

We draw in Dortmund early in the season. Correa is already two thirds towards last seasons paltry total of three.

Happy hump day! Here’s Dan with the Stuttgart Kickers, needing a strong finish to the season to worry the upper echelons of the Bundesliga…

We go a season high sixth after a 3-0 win at Karlsruhe. With the games in hand, we couldn’t finish second again, could we?

Happy Hump Day! Dan’s brilliant job with the Stuttgart Kickers continues…

We’re finally up and running in the league.
