July '31 Another month and more wins to strengthen the position at the top, 1st August is upon us and our summer transfers are about to join up with the squad. 1 thing that did stand out is that the Preliminary round of the Champions League is 1 leg so we need to go into that game full strength as Melbourne City aren't an easy team. We also have the Chinese FA super cup Quarter Final in August.

June '31 The only team to match me so far being 2nd placed Changcun Yatai with a hard thought 2-2, Fast approaching the first Prelimenary round for the AFC Champions League vs Melbourne City.

May '31 Another month another 100% record with a gap growing at the top of the table. June see's some tough games coming up. We have 5 maybe 6 signings coming in 1st August to help strengthen the team lets look at the 5 confirmed 1. Estevao - 3.6M. Didn't work out at Chelsea and he found his way back to Brazil. This is a player I believe still has talent and has age on his side at only 24. 2. Ante Senic. 2.4 Mill a 20 year old Croatian striker to replace Ivan who is leaving in July for 11mill. Very promising forward with the attributes to be an instant impact. 3. Ryosuke Sakai. 4.2M another striker that can play in behind the strikers 21 years old coming in from Kyoto Sanga. 4. Ruan Zhizhong. 1.8mill from Changchun Yatai a left back of Chinese nationality to help with the home grown quota. Instant starter to help with the Champions League. 5. Zhang Mingtao. 2.5M one for the future 19yr old China u21 centre back. coming from Beiging Guoan.

April '31 A strong start to the campaign conceding 1 goal the entire month. Work is underway to bring in players in the summer window and to remove players too.

Can we just delete sheff utd and pretend they don't exist? Asking for a friend..... Brilliant work on these Derek

Pre-Season 2031 Going into the season as favourites for the league title with the signings made taken into account, This instantly puts the pressure on to succeed from the off. Instantly decided DM was a position that needed strengthening so straight to Antlers to bring in Hori, then to River Plate to reunite with Lujan. This was a no brainer my next target is to remove the FGN players that are already in the team and replace with younger players from other countries and hopefully young Chinese players from the academy or around the league. This means spending the 100mill we have in the summer window to strengthen ourselves for the Champions League. The goal this season is be competitive in the champions league.

Shanghai Port Football Club (Chinese: 上海海港足球俱乐部; pinyin: Shànghǎi Hǎigǎng Zúqiú Jùlèbù), previously Shanghai SIPG (Chinese: 上海上港; pinyin: Shànghǎi Shànggǎng), is a Chinese professional football club based in Shanghai, that competes in the Chinese Super League, the top tier of Chinese football. Shanghai Port plays its home matches at the Pudong Football Stadium, located within Pudong. Their owners are the Chinese group Shanghai International Port Group (SIPG). The club was founded on 25 December 2005 as Shanghai East Asia Football Club by former Chinese international footballer Xu Genbao. The club used graduates from the Genbao Football Base, a football academy also founded by Xu, to form their first team as they made their debut in the third tier of China's football league pyramid in the 2006 league season. They made it to the top tier and finished as league champions for the first time in the 2018 Chinese Super League season, before winning two more consecutive titles in 2023 and 2024. According to a Forbes report from 2015, Shanghai Port was the third-most valuable football club in China, with a club value of $159 million and an estimated revenue of $37 million.[2] According to the annual report of the parent company, the club had a revenue of CN¥565.7 million in 2015, as well as a net loss of CN¥41.5 million, total assets of CN¥286.8 million, and net assets of CN¥59.7 million.[3]

December '30 We needed 2 big results and we failed to keep hold of a lead vs Ulsan that see's us finish 2nd but it wasn't enough to qualify for the next round. Which leaves 2 options. Take charge of a team that does progress if a role comes up or we carry on with Antlers and try again next season. The Koreans where too strong for us this year

November '30 Winning back to back J.League cups and now J1 League Champions to add to the growing trophy collection. The loss to Beijing makes qualifying from the group that bit more difficult. 3 players with 30+ G/A this season with an honorable mention to Takahashi with his 24 assists

October '30 Another productive month aside from the humiliation from a strong Ulsan, we underestimated them at their ground. 6 points clear at the top of the table with 4 games to go and another J.League cup Final coming up. We need to start taking our performances to the big clubs in our group as only the top 3 best placed 2nd placed teams go through in the group stages after 1st place.

Youth Intake Arima being the best of the bunch, a lot of work needed to be done if he is to reach potential

September '30 A bounce back month, with the exception of FC Tokyo. We also smashed the amount of goals scored in a season record with still 6 games to go. Our first game back in the AFC Champions League was a lovely 6-0 win with Beijing next up in the group phase. Our front 2 both have 18 goals in the league this tactic is goal hungry. Lujan is interested in a permanent move which I may look into at the end of the season.

August '21 The Champions League group has been drawn with a trip to Beijing Guoan of China, Hong Kongs Kitchee Sports Club and South Korean and 3 times AFC Champions League winners Ulsan HD. A tough group stage but one I'm comfortable of overcoming. August was a very tough month with only 1 league win, but still staying top of the table. Injuries and the transfer window making a big impact on performances. Players leaving during the summer window include Ikeda for 7.5mill Players incoming include 2 DM's for squad depth and Shimizu as a striker to slowly introduce for when Lujan's loan ends

July '30 Another win keeping the run going and a strong performance in a friendly vs Eintracht Frankfurt gives us a huge boost going forward.
