I don't think we'll have the stamina or the dfence to take 2nd spot this season. I have some players arriving during the window, but not really who I wanted. I do have some room to manouever though, after the sale of that Chinese winger, but alas, nobody of any quality has agreed to join us yet.

I have full faith in my AssMan's abilities to get the very best out of my part time strikers.
No, wait, i do.
OK, I'll sack him as soon as I can get a replacement who isn't a partly worn remoulded tyre.

January 2006
We sign a few players in the January window: Technically Eight, 21, Striker for 14k. Eye Dish, 18, Striker for 16k. Sorry Rabble, 18, ML for 4k. Different Gravy, 25, DM for 1k.
We try to sign some experience for the defence but to no avail.
February 2006
Four friendlies and three wins, a draw the blemish. We did fine. Different Gravy looks like a nice pick up for the DM role.
Not too sure if the squad is good enough for 2nd place, but we'll wait and see.

Good Luck Moo, I'm sure you'll pull through, but whether your squad is good enough is another matter entirely.

Signing playres? Bostord :moop:
Still more wins, which has got to be a good thing. Keep that up and you can get promoted, and then promptly relegated :humb:
But taht's fro another time.

The wins weren't in the league though, against non-league planks. I was using the reservists a bit to see if any of them were worthy of starting. The only one that was is a RB, so that tells you a lot.

March 2006
Well one game at the end of Feb and the rest in March, six in total, five wins and a defeat. The last win a 5-1 trouncing of Bezanija.
With 25 gone, Mladost (A) in 1st with 53 pts, us in 2nd with 50, one of the Radnickis in 3rd two points behind and the Cuckoos on 46 points.
New signing Technically Eight has four goals in six games, Deny The Facts starting very well after his injury that has had him out from the start of the season, two goals from six games and a 8.00 average.

Hmmmm? Is second place automatic or is it a playoff job? It's looking more likely that you'll get up via a back door or something. That's not to be sniffed at. No really it's not to be sniffed at all. KUTGW!

Top two teams in Serbia First division get promoted, for this season anyway. Next season looks like it could be very different, as there are seven or eight relegation spots. They may be relegation playoffs, I suppose, but it looks like there is some restructuring going on.

Oh, tit's so tense. You don't want to slip now, after all that work.
It's funny, the team coming first and second in my game are in 13th and 7th place.

A tougher run in than one of the Radnicki brothers and so....

Boo, I demand an investigation. Take that Radnicki Brother out the back and use electrodes on him, I'm sure you'd get a confession that he bribed the refs in your games. And his.

Hard Luck Moo, I presume that means play-offs are out of the question?

Correct, Coffers. The strange thing was that my decent U21 defender Insert Here rallied the troops three times in the last four weeks and when he did, I didn't like it. Now I know why. It goes without saying that I have a better squad now than at the start of the season and whilst I'm disappointed at not holding onto second place, when I peeked at the run in with six games to go, I knew it would go to the last game somehow, so I was prepared for the let down. So in a knee jerk reaction last night, I sacked three of my coaches with the view of getting some better ones in which is proving harder than I thought. Hopefully, I can get back on the game tonight and wade through the summer splashing the cash that I have. After selling my Chinese lads last summer, I have a decent bank balance and I foresee one of my better players being nabbed by one of the promoted teams. My wages are ridiculously under budget so I have no worries there. I would like to get everyone on a full time contract which is proving very difficult, so I may have to be part time for another season, which isn't ideal. I pretty much know what I want in the transfer market though. It isn't any particular position that needs to be sought after, it's a progression thing. I have a decent cover for every position (apart from a GK for the reserves and youths, I guess) so it's one of those "is he better than what I have" type searches I have to go on now. I'm quite positive about the season gone and whilst I was beaten too many times for a team going for promotion, I wasn't really frightened by anyone. The defences in this league aren't very good, including mine, so that's why the goals have been a-plenty. OK, apart from with my team. Hopefully we can get a full season out of Stories For Phil as he was looking very nice indeed alongside Celebrity Slasher.

Wow, I've just noticed 8 teams being relegated from the division, ouch, that is one big restructure.

And it's six from the top flight. I'm not sure what they're doing exactly here, I'm wondering if something is happening with the Monty league too, I never checked that last night. I suppose all will become clear when I get on there tonight and see who I'm playing in the nexxt league game.

Looks like 16 in the division for next season so far, your gate receipts are going to take a hit if that's the case.

Oooohhh, it's so exciting, isn't it?
Not as exciting as being promoted, I grant you, but nevertheless....
