Thanks to all returning Managers!
and a big Welcome to all the new Managers!

Before we start, here's some questions for you:

What have you learned from last season?

Nothing I don't already know... the Cup is a Lottery; however good the 1st Leg performance (in Cup or CL), the 2nd Leg will bite you in the butt; League performance and quality has no bearing on the result of any match.

Where did you place last season?
Palace Casuals: League, 10th; Champions League, dnq; Cup, Preliminary Round (as usual)
Palace Terriers: League, 2nd (by GD); Champions League, Quarter-Final; Cup, Qualifying Round.

What's your current level?
Palace Casuals: Level 26 (for the fourth season running) in their 30th Season
Palace Terriers: Level 7 in their 7th Season

What's your budget for this season?
Palace Casuals: Nothing much - squad full of 6* players, with three 5* among the reserves.
Palace Terriers: 25T (+35T earned), $27.7M

Who do you want to replace?
Palace Casuals: no-one at the moment
Palace Terriers: A few 2* and low-Q 3* players, but will not start until the League season...

What are your goals for this season?

Palace Casuals: get out of Level 26!!!!!
Palace Terriers: CL slot in League; win CL; get past 1st Round in Cup.


Good luck to everybody this Season!

Good luck everybody!

I wrote the above while I was sorting out the Squads for this season - these are worst 1st Round Cup draws I've seen for many a season:
