Season 26 week 11 processing...

Maybe not all out of it if the gap is only 6 points... A good run from here and others dropping points might mean am back in it. Need to pick up some more wins though - 2 draws in the last 3 games is not great...

Championship

Liverpool 25 +14
Villa 22 +14

Wolves 20 +4
Blackburn 18 +8
Westham 16 -1 reality managed
Hull 15
Stoke 14
West Brom 14

couldn't really be much closer with nine teams fighting for a playoff spot and Villa seemingly lifting themselves into automatic promotion territory.

Our trio of french managers starting to close the gap on Charlton's feeder club ?

Bundesliga

Schalke 28 +23
Berlin 25 +17
Bayern 25 +10
Dortmund 22 +8
Hamburg 18 -1

good to see the once great all conquering Stuttgart moving away from the drop zone now they have a serious manager in charge.

Eredivisie

PSV 28 +16
Feyenoord 26 +17
Twente 23 +13 reality
Sittard 23 +12 unmanaged
Ajax 21 +11

cant believe Ajax have dropped to fifth, unheard of in modern history.

Serie A

Inter 25 +12
Juventus 23 +10
Napoli 21 +14
Ancona 20 +18

then three clubs all on 19 points ( deja vu moment here ) Cagliari, Milan and Fiorentina with Roma a further three points back on 16.

Problems in France it seems, lack of goals means teams are slowly catching up.  Hopefully it is just a tough period rather than a serious lack of creativity.

Tippeligaen

Viking 33 +26
Rosenborg 27 +19 reality
Start 20 +3 unmanaged

not a lot of competition in this league for Wimbledon's feeder club but you still have to do it don't you and they are still doing it.

Ekstraklassa

Gornik 31 +23
Wisla 21 +12

wins for the top two means Gornik stay favorites by quite a margin.

Campeonato Portugues

Lisbon 31 +20 
Benfica 26 +16
Belenenses 24 +13 unmanaged
Maritimo 18 +5 unmanaged
Porto 17 +6 reality

two of the managers from game two have asked to try their hand in game one, so they have taken over at Lisbon and Benfica and should provide some interesting derby games to brighten up my Portugal league.

Scotland Premier

Rangers 22 +13
Celtic 22 +8

still pretty close here as well, all to play for.

I'm going to do the transfers now and then come back and do the International results...

Well done to Tom but can you hold onto top spot now that you have it ?

Thanks Geoff, don't worry there certainly aren't any chickens being counted here. Long way to go, half way through and fully expect the top spot to change a good few times yet.

Just delighted to get the win as too many times we have choked on the big occasion, plus getting a win against such a formidable opponent.

Danny Drinkwater and Wes Morgan seem especially popular this week on most order sheets.

Emmanuel Eboue has left Tottenham for Galatasaray for £12millions.
Nuri Sahin has joined Preston from Newcastle for £11millions.
and also leaving was Graziano Pelle who joined Hearts for £11millions.
Nantes paid £20millions for Gremio's Marquinhos and also gave up the services of Dimitri Payet who moves in the opposite direction.

That is all the big deals the smaller deals are as usual in your turns if you've ordered the report.

on to the coaching and finances now...

okay processing all finished, printing and sending out email turns in the morning.
