@harshad Mina has been sent back so if you want him on loan feel free.
@It's a farce! Elvedi has also been sent back to me. You wanted Shaw on loan but had an existing agreement with Hereford. Elvedi is more versatile and might rise if you want Elvedi on loan instead. If not, let me know and I'll find another club to loan to.

Loan Cap (S14 and onwards)
  1. Applies to unmanaged clubs only
  2. Loan cap = FFP minus 40, first come first serve (e.g. if your FFP aka squad limit is 50, your loan cap = 50 - 40 = 10, which means you can only loan 10 players out to unmanaged clubs)
  3. Only players with rating 75 and/or above are allowed to be loaned out
  4. Duration - until Turn 2 every season. After Turn 2, it is free-for-all
@syrian_scholes see point #3. 3 of the players you've loaned out break that rule

Hoping so, but the team is much weaker this season. Am now solely relying on tactics and a tight back line.

I am on my planned relegation season.

The last few seasons were for more funds through stadium increases. So Europe is an added bonus.
We both know how your tactics work against me. The stadium increases have been great for you.

For the first time ever, a very small gaggle of reporters (3) have gathered outside of Field Mill in the grizzling rain to catch a word with R Faz and a few of his players ahead of the opening fixture tonight against West Bromwich Albion.

After incredible back to back promotions, the club have found themselves in league two for the first time, leaving all 12 of their fans absolutely delighted at the prospect of seeing some world class players visiting the Mill-especially seeing as they don't have any.

Established in 1897, and playing out of the 9,186 Field Mill. Mansfield Town Football Club count Chesterfield and Notts County as biggest rivals, but they don't really like anyone, and will happily fight at every fixture (throw stones and run away)



C.Untbreath 'Carl Untbreath of the Mansfield Chad here. Well done on achieving promotion to league two. With a first team valued at circa just £40m, what are the clubs chairman, John Radford's aspirations, and where do you see your club finishing this season?'

R.Faz 'Well, I can say with certainty that we will finish somewhere between 1st and 20th. The lads are raring to go, and can't wait to play the likes of Newcastle, Boro, and Stoke amongst others. I myself am shitting a brick the size of a breeze block. Wait...you don't actually print that? Change it to I can't wait to shake hands with some of the biggest personalities in the Red Cafe league.
As regards John's ambitions? Well I have a good relationship with John, I run the club on a shoe string, and he gets to sit in the stands eating prawn sandwiches. He want's the club to do well, but isn't going to be giving me any more money.'

S.Malldick 'Sam Malldick from Nottingham Capital Radio. Previously, you have been labeled the 'Low league Del boy', and have seen many in's and outs over the previous seasons. This hasn't impacted team morale so far, but can you see more changes to your side this year and do you think the players will accept so much change in a stronger league?'

R.Faz 'Well, if I'm to move the club forward, then I need to always be looking to improve. Obviously this is going to prove much more difficult now that the very best players are already snapped and very difficult to obtain. Some of the squad are going to find themselves out of their depth and moved on quickly. Others may continue to grow.'

S.Malldick 'Thanks, just one more question, at the end of last season you purchased several players who are in the twilight of their careers with Aduriz the most notable at 37 years of age. Do you expect these players to be able to keep pace?'

R.Faz 'They are all excellent players who still have a lot to offer. I am aware that I will have to rotate regularly to keep these players match fit, but they are far from done and are proud to be stags. If they're crap I'll probably sell them to LB. He buys everyone.'

C.Untbreath 'Untbreath from the Chad again, can you keep hold of players like Boly, and Coady now they are likely to see less game time? What about the youngster Sancho? Will he get a chance?'

R.Faz 'I think all three of those players will play an important part, and can see them being key players in the near future. I'll be doing my best to hold onto them as well as a few of the other lads. They've got to earn a place in the starting eleven.'

D. Ogshagger 'Dan Ogshagger of the football observer, rumor has it you were approached by Sheikh Mansour personally and offered the Man City job this previous week. A job that would have had propelled you to the very top of the game amongst the elite. Any truth to this, and if so why did you turn it down?'

R.Faz 'Okay, first press conference and all that so I'll come clean. He did approach me and asked me to manage the citizens. He said he'd had a few applicants-one even made a crazy good video, but none were the calibre he was looking for. I'd mention names but that would be unfair. I turned him down because I hate them. I hate everything about that poxy club. Although I wish I'd taken the job now. i would have bought so many shite players and spent all the money on hotdog vendors, they'd have been playing in league 4 in 3 seasons.

D.Ogshagger 'Errr, okay. Well I don't have anything else. Good luck for your game tonight'

R.Faz 'Thanks. Now I'm begging for a piss, so I'll catch you boys later. wait, don't write that. Oh, whatever. YOU STAGS!'

Villa start the season off strong by narrowly beating the current champions 3-2 thanks to an inspired performance by Redmond. Last season's relegation battle served as a serious wake-up call for the management, and the aim this year is to finish top 4.

:lol: He's probably my favourite player at United so not really looking to sell. We can discuss Mkhitaryan though.

Missed the alert for this for some reason. Put in the bid now.

@RedRazor class write up.

3:1 win against rivals Barnsley. Chose a stronger team than I would normally for this fixture in the past and it paid off.

Glad I have this type of respect :)

On a different note, the Barnsley legend Alessandro Del Piero was at Old Trafford during the last match between Manchester United and Barnsley firing Barnsley shirts into the Stretford End with Fred printed on the back.
