Wow really? Heard he was best friend with Roman? No surprise Chelsea was sending their young players to Vitesse

Decent staff you have brought in I think it's amazing to see clubs are trying to follow Ajax's DNA with churning out youngsters and sell on.

Brought in new staff below and pretty happy with it. Missed out on few decent U's18 coaches/manager as they renewed contract with their current club.

Decided to bring in coaches like Bergkamp and D'Agostino as we were bit weak in defence and possession section. Here is after we made those appointments I am also still looking to bring in more coaches and also the U's19.

Absolutely no idea, was trying all summer to bring in new staff but all of a sudden I can, probaby a bug. Have also strengthened the backroom staff to improve the coaching set up, which I will post up shortly.

Here is our Champions League draw and Steven Gerrard was the host! Will be tough for us! Some reason I am now ALLOWED to bring in new coaches and staff

Thanks for coming PSG

Bang However, we got PSG at home in opener of the league!

Lost interest in my Lyon save, so I am doing a redux with Lens, saved the game before going to Lyon, so already played pre season. Arranged tour to China at end of last season, good to see Openda, carries on his scoring for us Transfers Not much to say apart from bringing in 2 players Signed him last season but had to wait til the summer as he was on loan to Westerlo from Club Brugge. Starter at left back. Took a huge risk on him and couldn't see his stats fully so took a risk, so don't know how to sum him up! :lol:

Good luck with Ajax I think It's something to do with licencing in Holland or something with the staff?

Wow, insane players you got there!

I have decided to take this job as I felt it would be an exciting project for me to rebuild Lyon to former glory again. Current squad Pretty happy with the current squad but feels some players are due to be replacing due to their age, currently got 20M to spend. Will spend alot of time looking at whole squad across the club and improve the structure and improve the backroom staff as well. Will be using the same tactic I have used with Lens as well.

Goodbye, Lens and hello Lyon! I decided to take this job as I felt Lyon is a huge rebuilding project, Also I can offer new scouts a contract, must be lens problems?

I have decided to carry on with this save regardless, however my director of football can offer coaches new contract. So god knows how! Anyway I have recieved this from Lyon, Tough choice to make here, Lyon seems to be a rebuilding project and get them back to the top again but still enjoying it with Lens.

Im gutted, was really enjoying my Lens save, yet I can only offer zero wage to any staff that I want to hire or renew my staff contracts. However, I started this on beta.

Definitely I agree. Think I have came across a bug, can't even offer contract to coaches or scouts to my backroom team Sadly this have stopped me playing FM for few weeks now. Might start new game now sadly.

Massive improvements at end of the season

Had a very nice youth intakes and here are top 4 rated youngsters!

RC Lens Just finished my first season with Lens and wow, didn't even expect to see us finishing 2nd! Just created a tactic based on the players at the club and literally flew off. Pushed PSG all the way til 10 games left, and sadly they beat us and pulled away. Maybe I am overachieving already with Lens? Also, huge special mentions goes to Openda, who smashed 42 goals in 39 games in all competitions! Surprised he haven't got called up to Belgium senior squad ffs. Huge mention to Jovic, who absolutely caused havoc down the left hand side TRANSFERS Most of them are already signed when I took over, I have signed the following players Hedl, Jovic, Datro Fofana, Christensen, Guliksen and Pascanu and Marshall-Rutty and few many youngsters. Pretty please with Rutty's development since joining Out - Fofana wanted to leave due to Spurs interest in him so off he went. Slowly playing Sylla, more into first team football as Fofana's replacement and seems to have done well. Lastly, we won Coupe de France! Surprised we won it easily in the final, especially with Le Harve, knocked out PSG in the semi-final!

Proper ouch, you could search for players that contracts expiring in 6 months? I did that and found few hidden gems for my Lens save.

Looks like you'll have to offload players to get the club in black than red

According to Daily Mail, Jorge Mendes is trying to get him to sign for Aston Villa! Apparently, Arsenal, are favourite to sign him. Personally, I don't think we need him with the players we have got. Especially with Rowe, to come back from injury,

I think Jude will go to either Man City or Real Madrid. Would be surprised if he goes to Bayern Munich...

Gutted we lost to France, however I felt the ref was favouring the French alot in the game, HOWEVER, I think Saka, went down far too easy which led to France first goal. Knew Kane, would miss his second penalty. Think it will be France v Croatia in the final and I believe Croatia will go on and win it.

Welcome both of you guys! @cameosis and @schweigi Also Schweigi is a legend around FM scene, used to download his standard logos packs few years back!
