League One finished

Liverpool 66

Blackpool 41

Wolves 37

Sheff Utd 37

Coventry 37

Athenian

Truro City 35

Banstead 28

won the first 8 games on the bounce letting in 1 goal then I signed a few loanees and couldnt win after that and let in a hatful so I'll probably take a close look at how the loanees affected my side, if in fact they did. It may be taking them too long to settle in, this just shows how important it is to check a players tactical awareness amongst other things before you sign him just cos he is a big name which is what I did here.

Cattermole has been excellent though, four goals in five games from playmaker for me, very happy with that.

On this Paul, shouldn't loanee clubs be able to train the player tactically whilst they are at the club (or does this already happen?)

in France its congrats to Tom as it finished

Nantes 46 +19

Etienne 44 +18

Paris 44 +17

Lyon 39 +4

Lille 36 +0

in germany it was very close and finished

Bayern 55 +44

Schalke 55 +36

Berlin 43 +24

and I fully expect those 3 clubs to be contesting things again next season and Ive also sent out 2 startup turns for Dortmund & Stuttgart so hopefully the german league will even stronger next year.

in Holland it finished

Ajax 52

Heerenveen 44

Feyenoord 38

PSV 32

and Will has had an immediate impact on this division and I'm hoping he can push on next year and that Feyenoord can give Greg's Ajax some real competition.

in Serie A it finished

Inter Milan 47 +19

Ancona 44 +9

AC Milan 39

Cagliari 38

Juventus 37

and with managers at those clubs plus a return for an old timer at Napoli it should be very competitive in next years Serie A race as well. A word of congrats for Jamie at Ancona tbh i thought you'd made the wrong choice when you decided to keep Ancona following the italian reshuffle but you made the right choice mate, well done.

Benfica lifted the title in Portugal with Stu's old team Lisbon coming second and Porto third.

Benfica 54

Lisbon 44

Porto 37.

gaz moved his feeder club to the Russian league in the form of CSKA Moscow and they finished 4th.

Dinamo 56

Spartak 53

Lokomotiv 39

CSKA 34

so he has alot of catching up to do next season and a club to rebuild behind the scenes, cos dont forget, if you move feeder clubs I can only move players over nothing else, so you have to start again with your staff & buildings.

It was very exciting in Scotland this year as I welcomed back a few of the old game one players who had drifted off to game two when the games were split following the "facebookgate" affair.

Inverness 49 +23

Rangers 48 +30

Celtic 41 +17

Aberdeen 35

all I have to do now is try to persuade them to sign up for the forum.

and last but by no means least of course is the race for the Spanish title

Barcelona 61 +42

Real Madrid 59 +52

Valancia 37

as Matt grabs his third title in 5 years.

okay I'm going to run the transfers, coaching and financial stuff now.

I can tell you that Matt has sanctioned the sale of Podolski to Plymouth for next season, making Plymouth even stronger imho.

And so it begins.

Fantastic, now the frantic 2 weeks of rebuilding begins!

Typical. The one time I quite fancy a shot at Jamie's Watford...he goes and works out how to score a goal or two!!

Arsenal Chelsea Birmingham Plymouth Watford Charlton Fulham Inter Barcelona Schalke and their feeder clubs.
