About time I made one of these.......

[Sir Calumn]

Couple more cheap signings..... the fantastically named Gergely Rudolph, to bolster my strike force whilst the youngsters develop, and veteran Siaka Tiene from PSG who is 30 but I think will give me a couple of very good seasons.

Stop gap solutions but the board didnt give me much money so I just need to stay up!

 

[Sir Calumn]

How's this for a first game of my Premier League campaign?

 

[Sir Calumn]

Sorry about my lack of updates - my first EPL campaign I came in 13th, which is quite good for Blackpool but I didnt think would interest anyone much!

Made quite a few signings, Vass, Polo, Jakobsen, Zongo, Kishna, Ake and a regen called Grant Rodwell.

Just past halfway in second season, again making slight progress, up to 8th. No real fireworks though!

 

[Sir Calumn]

End of my third season and really not a bad finish....

Check out how bad my goal difference is compared to the teams around me....



Does 6th place really got get a EUROPA spot? That seems very harsh.

 

[Zlatan]

Man Utd, 99 points?

 

[Sir Calumn]

Yeah and Arsenal 96, with a +70 goal difference.

Getting up there with those guys is gonna be hard!

At least two of Man Utd's draws were against me!

If you want that strange post above us removed you will have to delete it yourself. And that's good success with Blackpool. I attribute it to buying Carlos Rodwell's younger brother.

Even Sir_Didier_Drogba's hackers are cool. Lucky ****er.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Hahahahaha! Of all the threads here, you chose this one for you anti-Putin protest. You got the right place, brother!

 

[Sir Calumn]

Alright...... so finally played another season. Made some pretty excellent progress considering this was only my fourth season in charge, third in the Premier League...

First up....

Admittedly I had the easiest cup run in history, didnt have to play one of the big teams, but still pretty impressive....

And this final game of the season....

Led to me finishing second!



Only two games off being Blackpool Invincibles! Man City at home was my penultimate game of the season, had I won it I would have won the league, but I could only drawn.

But don't tell me you havent always wanted to see Blackpool in the Champions League!?

 

[Sir Calumn]

Zaha finally started banging in the goals that season. Also I cleared out a few players in January and brought in Jano and Kakuta, which really bolstered me at a time when I was losing form. Also bought Carlos Robinson for 6m at the beginning of the season which is a steal.

Going into my fifth season in charge and I spent the entire budget on two big players - Vladimir Weiss (my personal favourite) for 9m and Kevin Strootman for 7.5m. So long as Zaha keeps scoring, hoping to consolidate Blackpool as a Champions League side.

 

[yoyo913]

You got Carlos Robinson for 6m?? In my game his sale value is at over 30million or something and I'm in 4th season. He's probably the best LB prospect in the world.

Good job with the league finish. The signings seem decent too.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Yup........ I remember in my Chelsea game I had to pay almost thirty for him, but I think the good thing about Blackpool is clubs dont see us as a rival so they let us have players on the cheap. I actually could have had a lot more players on the cheap but my board wouldnt free up the funds.

The downside of Blackpool is that foreigners often dont want to come, even now that I offer CL football. Fierro still wouldnt even discuss terms with me, now he's buggered off to Roma.

I still need to get a better striker, as I dont think Zaha and Leigh Griffiths are quite gonna cut it in the long run.

I experienced the same thing with Cesena. I made it to Europe but players didn't want to come. However in my 2nd season in the CL, at the winter transfer I noticed a big increase in big names wanting to join, the likes of Cavani, Rossi, Hamsik etc... All I need to do is splash the money on them now. So just wait a little longer.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Yeah... unfortunately though nearly all the players I wanted have been bought by other teams by now....... I suppose I can still get some of them but I'll have to pay through the nose.

I hate signing regens, I lose interest when my squad starts getting full of names I dont recognize.

I like regens because they bring the unexpected. They can sometimes also have crazy attribute sets. And sometimes their faces are funny.

It's all about club reputation. It takes more than one season in Europe to significantly improve a clubs reputation. One you start to continually win leagues/cups etc and play in Europe every year, players will get interested
