I've finished 4th, reaching the Playoffs on the last day thanks to a home win against Millwall, who kncoked me out of the League Cup Semis earlier in the season.
Got Watford in the Playoff Semis. Beat Watford.
Millwall somehow managed to sneak a 7-1 win past me to keep me in the First Division. Pannuci's off to Sunderland, Wanchope's off to Leeds to balance the books a bit. The board are NOT happy. I'll be fine next season though.
Well, I kept my job even though I'm still in the First Division. I've decided to start trying to get Prem targets even though I'm a First Division team. Timing is everything in this game, and a check of the Interested page every day works wonders.
With Wanchope and Panucci moving for a joint £12m, and a few key sales of Morrison and Ritchie (combined £3.5m), I had a bit of money to go bargain hunting with.
I lucked out on Hamiliton Ricard on a Bosman, as he seems to have the skills I want up front. I somehow beat Real Madrid to the signing of an unhappy Louis Saha (£4m), and they got Larsson for £25m instead. I also picked up Djalminha for £4.5m despite him being worth £8m.
Also finally landed three players who I had been after for a year: Dorsin, Isaksson and Ibrahim Said for a combined fee of £5m.
Managed to grab Prutton from Forest for £3m.
I've kind of bet the future of the club here, as I've spent all of the TV money and all available funds, but I'm more than confident that a good Cup run, the selling of reserve players such as Huckerby and the chance of automatic promotion will keep us out of the red.
