Bonjour! and welcome back for the second half of season seven. You join us just six points off the top of the table, and well-placed for a second half of the season title charge. There’s also the main cup still to play for as well, so let’s see if this will finally be the season when the French Basque Boys will go and win their first trophy…

Bonjour! Welcome along to a seventh season of the Basque Boys’ French invasion, which has to date been fruitless, but having reached a domestic cup final, and the UEFA Cup quarter-finals, is there evidence to suggest that we’re not too far away, and that season seven might be a lucky one?

Bonjour! We’re halfway through season six, and a formation change has seen us pick up some much-needed consistency. We’re fourth in the league, still in both domestic cups, and have made it to the quarter finals of the UEFA Cup. Let’s see if we can kick on from here…

Bonjour! You join us at the end of season five, where after sitting in second at the halfway mark, a horrible dip in form saw us lose over half of our games in the second half of the season, but we managed to finish fourth despite the wobble. Let’s see what another summer with no money brings us…

Bonjour to you! Welcome back for the second half of season five, where we’re out of Europe, but still have both domestic cups and the league to compete for, although the latter will be a challenge with a nine-point deficit to try and overturn. Anyway, let us crack on…

Bonjour and welcome! You join us fresh off the back of our best season to date, as we finished fourth, and secured European football for the first time. However, a pathetic £325k prize money won’t even take the bank balance out of the red, and once again there’s no cash injection, so I’ll spend yet another summer rummaging in the bargain bin…

Bonjour! and welcome. Our start to season four has been the stuff of which dreams are made, but we’re without our injured keeper for a week or two more, so let’s hope it doesn’t fast turn into a nightmare. European football surely has to be our aim from here. Let’s go…

Bonjour, and happy new year! Bienvenue to season four, our third in Ligue 1. If you’ve forgotten where we left off before Christmas, we finished eighth, which sadly wasn’t enough for European football, but we do seem to be heading in the right direction. Let us resume…

Manolo hangs up his boots. I had high hopes for him, but he was plagued by injuries…

Bonjour! We’re halfway through our second season as a Ligue 1 side, brushing shoulders with the likes of Monaco, PSG, and Bordeaux, but sadly not competing with them (yet). We’re not badly-placed for European qualification at the minute though, so let’s see how it pans out.

Bonjour! I guess if you’ve come back again then you must be enjoying this series slightly, so I thank you. Anyway, having achieved the first season objective of staying in Ligue 1, let’s see what we can do with the squad over the summer…

I finally make a sale, as my one of my backup keepers generates £180k for the coffers…
