Whoohoo! Look at me spending big!

Or are fees slowly inflating, like in the real world, and is this peanuts?
2012 Summer Events

@OptimisedRed qualified to play the Club World Cup after winning the UEFA Cup. The tournament will be played in the 2013 Summer, it's the first Caf team to play this.
It's quite often that this tournament isn't held, right? Do you know why's that?
 
Convinced after that transfer window I’ll be tootling off back to Div 2. Glazers have got nothing on the rest of my board.

Nearly £2bn is outrageous, got to wonder why all our teams aren’t doing a Roma

No, fees are pretty stable, it's very rare o have transfers above 30M

I think originally the WC was every 2 years, but it only lasted 2 or 3 editions.

Reputation, basically. Top players often only go to teams with really high reputation. Because in England so many clubs have basically the same money it will be difficult for someone to dominate and therefore it will be close to impossible to get the level of reputation that clubs that win multiple leagues in a row have.

But it's getting harder for italian clubs to grab all the top players, so as years go by, the kind of domination Roma had will be very hard to repeat.

Does reputation ever increase?
 
Does reputation ever increase?
Yes, it changes all the time, depending on results. @nimic for example reached 9999 for a couple of months last season after finishing 2nd and going to the CL quarters. @OptimisedRed also got 9800 when he won the UEFA Cup. Most caf teams L2 and up are between 7000 and 8500 right now, with a few in the PL a little above 9000. Roma, Barcelona and Dortmund have 10000 right now.
 
You haven't bought a player in almost 3 years. You actually have 21 now because you promoted a few academy players. But yeah, without investing there's no way you'll return to the PL.

So the game is just feeling sorry for me and adding regens to make sure I can just turn up and fulfill the fixtures??

My new game plan is to take the lowest placed

Pretty much, although a few of the academy kids are actually pretty decent. You got a very good 18 year old center back but @nimic, @sebsheep and Arsenal are already interested, so it will be difficult to keep him.
 
2012-13 FA Trophy

2nd Round


I normally don't post the 2nd round because it's just a formality, but somehow @Anustart89 managed to be knocked out by the amateurs of Crawley Town...

Final

@Maluco won the previous 2 editions of the FA Trophy, would they make it 3 in a row?

Ouch... @Maluco was crushed by Forest Green, a combination of their strikers being on fire and @Maluco's keeper having a 4 rating.

Lost the cup final, mediocre in the league...

this feels familiar.
 
Oooof so close. Can't complain with a Play Off final after promotion but gutted to lose al the same. Crouchy still going strong, shame my goalkeeping department no longer contains VDS and Peruzzi.

You had a terrible end to the season, at one point you seemed certain for direct promotion.
