I think I'll just skip the employment stuff, and just throw you into the:
Pre-Season Update
Transfers
In
Hugo Colace - Free
Danny Lafferty - Burnley - £900k
Luca Gasparotto - Rangers - £325k
Jamal Blackman - Chelsea - Loan
Connor Hunte - Free
Marc Pugh - Bournemouth - £1.5m
Luke Giverin - Free
Some really good transfers, apart from Colace. I sacked the scout that told me that Colace 'should be regarded as a definite purchase.'
Out
Otis Khan - Chester - Loan
Harry Maguire - Crystal Palace - £2.1m
Michael Boateng - Free
Maguire would have been great in my team, but he requested to move. Khan is really performing for Chester, and Boateng is crap.
Friendly results
It started really badly.
