Thanks for the update. Hopefully couple more additional points once the review finishes.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Was hoping Pulisic would have gone up today so I could have had him increased for one last youth table but nope
Either tomorrow or not at all.Think he will rise in Dec review. But wouldn't be surprised if he did tomorrow...Was hoping Pulisic would have gone up today so I could have had him increased for one last youth table but nope
Farewell to the GOAT Lionel Messi who is leaving Villa after five amazing seasons!
During the season i've slowly realised that my squad - while being fairly good ratingwise, is still not at the level where i can be challenging for major trophies, so the only really sensible thing to do was start a rebuild. My two best players in VVD and Messi have now joined the two strongest teams in the league - United and Everton, to push them to even greater heights. Ruben Dias, Pogba, Kimpembe and Greenwood will be joining the hungry Villa with the hope of mounting a more serious title challenge in the future.

Hereford and Fulham are pretty close together in the youth table. My youngest players that were highly rated have done feck all. Sigh. Ah well, signing young players is a lottery.
United front 3 MMM.
This was the goal
My love for united players definitely making the squad worse in the long run though. But feck it, Herrera please sell Bruno to mefeckkkkkkkkkk. Everton title winners S22 confirmed.
Great job with the squad rebuild by the way @Gythio, though feel you might have been able to get a bit more out of MG as he was desperate for Messi (as indicated by wanting to let go of Goatwood).
Unless you're greeny, whose record is insane.
He does chop and change though, he just keeps trying until he gets a hit. It's also pot luck on when you win a bidding war.
Thanks! Now let's hope for some nice rises so i don't get relegated next season
I really don't think MG was willing to offer anything more though, he values his players highly, as he shouldI take one day off SM and Messi gets sold!
Manchester United have now officially won their 30th trophy, beating Darlington 5:4 on penalties (1:1) in reg time in the Champions Cup final. Good game, Rav. Could have gone either way.

Also, congrats to Newcastle United. The only team to have three or more major honours, all in the same competition.
Big question now is what will happen first: United to win 40 major honours or any other team to hit 20? City only need 6, but aren't in Division 1 next season so can only win the League Cup/League Shield next season, while Darlington and Everton just need 8.

The SMFA Shield is a good competition to try and win, though obviously the competition is more than doubled.
You lost @Ravelation, you shouldn't feel proud. You allowed Damien to get another fecking trophy. Disgusting.
Forgive me for I have brought shame to the RedCafe name.
Shame *bell ring* shame *bell ring* shame!

@gaz1185 What happened, why are you leaving?
Manchester City available - good Division 2 side with a nice squad. Season just ended so if you take over, you'll be able to manage at least a full season with them to mould as you wish. They have £150M in the bank.
If interested, post here or PM me.
If interested, post here or PM me.
I'll take city job.
They will be in Division 2 for the new season. Still want to take them on?
No issues.
Excellent. Feel free to apply at any point.
Well in KM.
@Damien I'll pass for the draft.

Something strange happening with City. Two offers got auto accepted even after I took over the club. Now I made a bid for the player and saw right now that it has been withdrawn.
Wtf?
Wtf?
Damo, wasn't Herrera able to control a club even after he'd resigned?
Yeah, that is my bet as to what is going on. Keep a close eye on things @KM.
I did think the Mendy deal looked dodgeyso he changes the city squad completely and leaves l0l
