5 Games into my second reign of the mighty Clarets. I feel it is time to write a little summary of how we are doing so far.

The news on the pitch is very good. We have collected 13 points from a possible 15. We have only conceded three goals in the last 5 games, substantially helping our goal difference towards the positive end of the spectrum.We have moved up to 10th in the league table, and we top the league's form table. While there is much improvement to be done on the pitch over the course of this season, the signs are looking good.

As to the formation, I have not been able to get the team into my favored 4-1-2-1-2 formation as of yet. The team is operating using a 4-4-2 formation for the moment as we look to rebuild from the ground up. My philosophy is to get a formation that works for the team that I have at my disposal. Over the coming seasons, I hope to introduce some marquee signings, but for now it is about stabilizing this team.

The Clarets have a promising new recruit signing up today, young Phillip Frewen, a 2* MC, who will help fill out our squad ranks whenever possible. We also have a Micheal Folan, who is a 4* ST, who we hope to sign on a permanent basis in 4 days time, tokens allowing.

Off the pitch, the teams finances are starting to record a profit. After spending $136M on transfers to get the team afloat again, the manager was given a remit of safe buys and high profitability for the coming seasons by the board. It is felt that the board have invested a lot back into the club to get it back on it's feet and it's hoped the manager can start a revival at this once great club.

Roleplay aside: If anyone wants to have a chat, that I used to play and chat with on the game, please feel free to PM me. I have work commitments, but I would love to hear from you!
