Alive... but relegated!

Hello! I'm still alive, just in case anyone was worried :p

It's just been an even busier time for me IRL than I had expected, and so I've barely logged in this past season. In the end I had to go in to holiday mode to avoid exceeding the AI limit for my league. But the team has suffered, and we've had the worst season I've ever had in my FML career - finishing 17th out of 20th and being relegated. I'm pretty disappointed really, our team was never one of the best in the division but we should have done better than that. But with me not being around, and sometimes even forgetting to set the match plans up, I guess it was perhaps to be expected.

I'm not going to be around much next season either (exams are over but I have a holiday and then a house move coming up!), so I'm making plans accordingly. I've wondered about switching to the Open FA but there are currently no spaces available and I have this weird thing about not wanting different FA's on my club history - it's not very realistic is it?! So that's one to ponder and keep an eye on whether any spots open up.

Team wise, the squad will remain pretty much the same for one more year. A number of players are turning 32 this year so this will probably be the final season I can count on them. But that's fine - I have a few youth players waiting in the wings, and by the end of the season I should have a nice little warchest too (and that despite starting yet another stadium building project). So next off-season when I have some more time I should have the opportunity to completely re-shape my team and take things forward for the next phase.

In the meantime, just need to make sure I avoid a double relegation ;)
