Managed to stay up, finishing 11th out of 15. Could have got 9th as was leading against the top side in the final match but went on to lose 3-1.
I’m not longer sure this is a club I will be at for long. It is a small club with about 23 players out of 31 going out of contract in a months time. I’m selling another guy because he is 37 and not really good enough to offer me anything, so I will have to try to find around 20 players on loan or free transfers by the start of the season and the size of the save I’m playing doesn’t have the lower leagues available for me to scout.
A second reason is that I have concerns about the board. First, when hiring me, the goal for this season and each of the next 2 or 3 was simply to avoid relegation. With 2 games to go of the season just finishing I had secured enough points barring a ban to stay up, the board revised the goal to a mid table finish - which 2 games later they said I failed to do! The goals for the new season and later ones are much more ambitious despite the obvious issue of having to rebuild the playing staff with little to no money.
Then I asked to go on a course, which they refused saying it wouldn’t be of benefit to the club.
