    2nd Feb 2021, St Marys is at 54,000, I didn't get a choice to name the stadium unfortunately, first thing I will be doing is asking the board to expand it as soon as work is completed!

    Anyone ever signed Michael Bostwick on the new game? I got him first season for £1m as a bit of depth and he's turned out to be really good - 25 games in the Championship (as I said depth, took a while for him to break into the team) at 7.21 average and I've continued to use him in the Prem - first season he had a few injuries but averaged 6.99 from 13 games, this season he's so far played 17 at an average of 7.12 while all my other CBs have been struggling - well worth £1m!

    ^^ I signed Bostwick, turned out pretty decent for me!

    I signed him as backup for the Prem, but has overtaken Hooiveld to be 1st choice CB now alongside Fonte with a 7.1 Average rating

    if you want a good prem cb, there is a dirt cheap one rotting in man citys reserves called Boyota. Signed for 3-4 mill played one season getting av rating of 7.1-2 getting offers of 13 million from everywhere now. So yea i dont know if i got lucky with him or if he is really good.

    I tried to sign Bostwick and missed out on him at the time some clubs were only offering 100k and 200k and I could not afford it as it was when I was in League 2, I think he was sold for 300k to another club but turned out to be a great player, knew he done well.

    No bias in who you pick for your coaching staff then!

    See you have Jim Stannard, he is a legend, great keeper in his time for us.

    When did he join you as he was our temporary goal keeper coach last season after he left Crystal Palace, I knew you had him but when did he join, I am not sure if he was still working at ours on a free basis while he was working for you's.

    Ok, I think he had left us by then not sure though, he was a great keeper, holds a football league record if I am correct, 30 clean sheets in a season, 95-96, only let in 20 or so goals, such a shame I never got to see him play, he was always a big keeper, they called him big fat Jim.

    Still working on the resurrection of Super Depor. In 2020, the debt has been reduced from £100M to £47M and I have been competing regularly in the Europa League. This season I am currently 3rd and looking almost certain to qualify for the Champions League for the first time, I am in the Copa Del Rey final and Europa League semi final. Carlos Fierro is now a club legend, having scored 156 in 228 games for the club. Just about to play the Copa Del Rey final now against Espanyol and hopefully win my first trophy :)

    Around what year do you get the opportunity to build a new stadium/expand St Mary's?

    I've been constantly expanding the stadium since the start of the game, in 2021 now and at a peak of 54,00 capacity. The board has decided to build a stadium after me now at 72,000 capacity, when you are making big money due to champions league/premiership performance when you ask the board to expand it should be more likely that they agree I guess.

    I'm a moron so I always spend too much and get my team in financial disrepair, guess any hopes of a big stadium for me are out the window

    I'm normally good with my finances. I always get the best deal possible when it comes to contracts. I HATE appearence fees and get rid of them where possible because they are terrible for draining your clubs finances.
