Seems there are a few nerves around this time of the season and nerves are sometimes quelled with larger than normal bonuses ( wink wink nudge nudge ).

How would you like your bonus paid then Paul, cash or cheque best...? 

La Liga

Real Madrid 47 +34
Barcelona 44 +30
Real Betis 39 +21 reality managed
Valencia 37 +18

Having lost both games to Barcelona this season the leaders find themselves still top of the table with three home games still to play against Sevilla, Mallorca and Real Betis.
Barcelona for their part are at home to Santander, then away at Sevilla, then back home for Bilbao, so unless Sevilla pull off a big shock I can't really see much changing here, but then you never know.

I'm out for awhile now but I will run the transfers, coaching and finances when I get back.

Kosice 1 Ruzomberok 2 Cy Goddard on 91 minutes.

Now that's what I call leaving it late!
I've only just got back online.....bloody Talktalk!!

Just noticed the Fluminense result, that game totally passed me by. Too focused on other events!!

What a result though, to beat an established side like Richs Gremio, sensational. That was 3 points I never thought I'd have a chance of winning. Hopefully other results go our way in the pursuit for survival.

Good result for Brighton too, hopefully they will be able to continue their form into next season and another step up the ladder.

Already had three offers in excess of £100million for him which I have declined. Santos are a selling club but we don't normally sell players whilst they are still developing, we like to keep them on contract until they are at least 24 so the Fish fans have at least another five years of enjoying his goals before he is allowed to leave.

Okay i'm back in the office now and running the transfers, coaching and finances...

Fair enough, makes complete sense.

Gonna be some footballer him.

Two big transfer deals concluded this week with

Diego Costa moving from Watford to Nantes for £65millions and
Marcus Rashford coming in to replace Costa from Villa in exchange for Alderweireld and Abraham.

Any news from the Hamburg manager Paul, or is he still assessing offers?

Seems like I should leave my assistant manager in charge more often! Think it's too late for Barcelona, but always nice to beat Iain! Flamengo still going strong but Santos are right behind us so this'll go to the wire.

I'm back in the office for a few hours again, so I'm finishing off and sending out the email turns...

Email turns all sent out, doing the printing now...

I haven't got mine 
Just arrived, cheers Paul.

Dont forget... every deal agreed must be written down on your order sheets and confirmed on the other players order sheet as well. So make sure your order sheets reach me by the deadline, this includes any agreed deals done under the new system.

Just to confirm then:

Do we assume that the deals done via the new system on the turn just gone were a one-off?

From now on, deals agreed using the new system (with you as messenger) must be written on the turnsheets....

yes this turn was just a test run, in future all deals agreed using any system will have to be confirmed on the order sheets, so it is best to get them agreed in the days before I run the turns, rather than on the day I run the turns.

Paul, not sure if this was an issue for everyone but my feeder teams didn't play any friendlies this week and also got no 'friendlies' income?

Doesn't matter now, but just thought I'd let you know so you can check for next turn?

Thanks

Same here Tom. New signing failed to gain experience. Ended up with my feeder club being overdrawn. But i'm sure i'll get over it. I thought I must have missed them off my turn sheet  

Same problem here as well

Took a few days off but am back in the office tomorrow ( friday ) will sort thru the issues then. thanks.

seems some of the feeder club friendlies were not processed last week, the system ran out of space to play all the games !!! sorry about that, ive credited feeder club finances with the missing income and will look to finding some extra space for all the friendlies that are now being requested.

Ruzomberok have been compensated with the missing income so should be back in the black this coming week. And I have played the friendlies for you before I run this week's reset, so your new players should not have missed out at all. Missing friendly reports sent to your email address.

Great stuff. Thanks for that Paul.
