Blackburn - Champions? :P

League:



Oh hell yeah

Team:


What a great effort. So happy with all of 'em... 'Cept Tugay.. He's lard.

Miccoli:


Just immense... Been amazing all season tbh.

Transfers:


Only just realised how chaotic transfers have been for me

And yeah... Before you all go "CHEATRAR. GO AWAYZ" I only actually replayed one match, Birmingham away, and that was because I actually had to quit the match at half time at 1-1.

Granted, I won the match 1-0 the time I replayed it, but it's hardly season altering stuff... Any more screenies etc, lemme know.. Just comment

re: Blackburn - Champions? :P

I tell you what, first year as Blackburn. Hats off to you, I don't think I'd ever be able to pull that off!
What was your tactic like?
How did your signings perform for you?
Did you play Olsson all season long? I've seen him become good in later years, wouldn't have thought he was ready 1st season though.

Olsson was amazing really! I was apprehensive playing him when Warnock got a knock, but he took the place and ran with it really... Leading me to sell Warny in the January window..


As for tactics:


And then instructions:


And my signings, well...

Miccoli and Boateng were amazing, Kaebi proved to be useful when needed(rarely) and Mihelic slotted well into the midfield when I needed him, more often however, with Dunn amazingly injury prone...

Many of the others I didn't play at all, and are lingering in the reserves, steadily improving. Zidan and Bailey might actually break into my team next year if things go badly transfer wise, so it's looking up for them. I just hope they're good.

Gilberto and Paulo Ferreira I bought in January and they brought some much needed experience to my team, especially Paulo who obviously has won the league before, and really tightened up the defence...

Great achievement. Boateng is always my first signing when I venure into bigger team management. He's a great midfielder, can tackle, pass and scores the odd screamer. Nice to see you've signed a lot of players not really talked about on here.

re: Blackburn - Champions? :P

Hmm thats really cool. What was Gilberto like? being a Spurs fan I've yet to utilise him majorly.
Why does Friedel have a concern, should be chuffed winning a league medal!
What are your plans for the 2nd season?
Who are you looking to buy or sell?
Did you get a lot more spending money?
Are you asking the board for better training, youth and bigger stadium as a result?
Apologies for all the questions haha, just find it intreging to see different peoples games.
Would be a really cool project making Blackburn stay as a force in the Premiership. Good luck to you, although judging your management skills, you don't need luck! (Just a lil Italian named Micolli )

re: Blackburn - Champions? :P

Gilberto's good... He's awesome at being there when you need him to fill in and do a stunning job, and he doesn't give a damn when he gets an 8 rating, then dropped the week after 'cos Pedersen's fit again. Friedel's concerned about his tutoring of Scott Flinders being worthless or somethin', I can't remember right now. I'm going to probably look to finish top 4 in the league and focus on European Cup... Now that'll be an acheivement if I pull it off

Probably looking to sell Santa Cruz and Miccoli... Mainly because Santa Cruz is worth 10 mil + and Miccoli has kinda slowed down in the goal scoring department and I have a perfect replacement lined up in Javier Chevanton, on the Sevilla transfer list. I've already got Materazzi as my new captain and main defender for the next season, and I need to look at a new central midfielder to work with Boateng, Mihelic and Dunn just in case...

I haven't got my budget yet, (Not actually finished season if you look, on 36 games atm) but I'm hoping for a big budget next year. I actually gained the club money this year just on transfers so they better be generous this year

Need a new or bigger ground. I'm gonnna be getting sellouts all too often if we don't...

i certainly would, its a different choice of team and you have done extremely well with them, just do a 1st season overview and continue in the 2nd season
