Season 25 Week 22 processing...

Welcome to the last week of the season.

Just doing the reset now...

There maybe a new ( veteran ) manager in the game next season, just trying to sort him out a decent team at the moment. More news to follow...

Okay the reset has finished and I've appointed Andy Le Butt as the new manager of Schalke in the Bundesliga. Andy has been away from the game for awhile but has a mass of experience in Championship Football over many many seasons, winning many trophies and I'm sure he will enjoy the competition here in game one.

Rumours coming out of France this week that David Silva has approached the Nantes manager and asked for a transfer.  The little Spanish magician has allegedly struggled to adapt to life in France and despite helping the team to the title feels that a move to country he is more familiar with would be much better for him and his family.

Nantes have refused to comment on this speculation so far.

Data entry begins...quite a lot to do this week and Wednesday is the wife's birthday so the league games will kickoff at 1000 hours Thursday morning, a day later than normal.

Sounds like an exciting deal in the offing here which will greatly benefit both sides and create a lot of excitement in London ahead of the new season...

Running the reserves and youths now...

still running the reserves and youths, taking a long time today, might have to make some changes. before next season, to cut down the number of games...

Okay change of plans, the wife is not having the day off work after all ( having Friday instead ) so I will be running the league games today ( Wednesday ) at 1000 hours...

I'm going to assume that your wife knows it's game day and understands the importance of a season finale hence why she's changed her day off..... 

Or maybe she wants a 3 day weekend. But I be like to believe it's the former ha!
