PROMOTION!!!
Finally, I was a bit lucky in this save game. In some bizarre way, I got promoted. As I had said, things were not going well, but then I had a change in fortunes and things started going my way. I managed to win the 4th period, which guaranteed a place in the promotion play-off. Needless to say, i was satisfied, as that was my aim, regardless of how it ended.
First game I was against William II, which i won easily 4-1. In the 2nd leg, I played my reserve squad, and it showed. I started horribly wrong, conceding 2 goals, only to get one back. Still, they kept pushing on and scoring. Fortunately, i was always in front, but I was pretty scared.
In the second game I went up against RKC. After a few minutes, star striker Bola got injured, which effected the rest of my game. Bola teams up so well with my other striker, and I don't seem to score at all with out one of the two. in fact, the game ended in a bore draw, 0-0. Fortunately for me, Bola had no injury repercussions, thus I could play him from the 1st minute in the next game. And the difference showed! instantly, I started bagging in goals. By the end of the game, Bola had scored 2, Borgers has scored 2, and one was an own goal (Borders passed it in and it took a deflection). It was the first time that i won convincingly, and what a time to do it!!!

Player stats:
Wanduka was a massive signing. I got him for free in the summer, on a 4.2k/w wage, which ain't little for my club. He had an average rating above 7.5, creating a record for the league. From 80k, he is now worth 1.1M
Awards:
Yes, the award names are in dutch, because I downloaded an extension that gives you real names, and it changed the award names to the language of the Nation. I need to arrange it.
I feel my team is ok, but I need to strengthen it a lot if I want to stay up. I'm going to get Innocenti permanently, on a free. he was good this season, and he has good potential. The other 2 loans I am trying to purchase. For some reason, i can't get them on a free, even though their contract is expiring this summer (maybe they accepted a new contract which will come into effect when they go back tot he parent club?). Nonetheless, my offers of 6k and 8k were accepted, but they want high wages. One guy wants 2k, which i can spend, but he is still 18, and the other one wants 8k, which is out of my reach. i'll try and sign at least one of them. No frees coming in at the moment though.
Give Wellington Nem a try, I know he's not an out and out Striker, but at the start of the game £3.5M anyway and hes yours.
they got relegated after a season on my save, then again so did saints which was just sad (saw almost the whole team ripped apart over the summer and ruined by dave jones, then mcinns).
