'It is better to fail aiming high than to succeed aiming low. And we of Spurs have set our sights very high, so high in fact that even failure will have in it an echo of glory' - Bill Nicholson

Bill Nicholson was the that made the first British club to win a European Cup. He also won much more under spurs.

Transfers:


Ins (and a few comments):
Jake Sinclair - Southampton U-18s 1.3M - Dubbed the next Michael Owen this started a raid on Southampton.

James Ward-Prowse - Southampton U-18s 1.3M - Dubbed the next Modric
Adam Campbell - Newcastle U-18s 1.5M - Also dubbed the next Michael Owen.

Mbaye Niang - Stade Malherbe Caen 6M - Next world class already made it to my subs and some crucial goals from the bench.

Salaheddine Sbai - Free Transfer - Ex blackpool player I just needed a backup left-back and didn't trust Danny Rose, Tempory.

Yassine Benzia - Olympic Lyon 3.8M - seem to always buy him so i got a scout report on him and he looked quite promoising, played him in Europa and he played pretty well.

Ron-Robert Zieler - Hannover 16M - It may seem I got ripped off but he is 22 and looks great for the future and has replaced Brad Friedel and he is in great form.

Out:
David Button - Blackpool 875k - Just don't like him no Talent whatsoever
Gomes - 4.5M - Everyone knows what he's like in real life, I know he isn't like it in but I don't think he good enough.

Ben Alnwick - Loaned To Huddersfield - Not part of first plans.

Dean Parrett - Loaned To Bournemouth - Same reason as before.

Massimo Luongo - Loaned To Rochdale - Same as before.

I have more to seel in the Jan window as the first windows was more of a strenthing window

As you can see we played alot of weaker teams the only close to us was Schalke.


Prem:
http://i48.tinypic.com/2hp69p2.png
So far we have been pretty good in the the only reason we are not top is due to a 2-2 draw with . We also had a great opening day result, 7-0 over Wigan with Adebayor scoring 5, Ade is currently top and we have conceded the least in the league.


Euro Cup:
http://i46.tinypic.com/258t0e9.png
We have an easy group in the Euro Cup only Rubin as a threat, but being against Rubin gives me a chance to observe "The rather fast Black Man" Obafemi Martins, who if I don't fully sign Adebayor then I will probably sign him.


Cup:
http://i46.tinypic.com/fwnhqx.jpg
I am hoping this is our year to we have looked pretty promising and the only threatening that is left is Aston Villa who we beat 4-1 in the league.

FA Cup:
A bit disappointing but I suppose when we played city I played some of the reserves so what do I expect.
http://i50.tinypic.com/dyu4pw.png

January Transfers:

In:
Adrian Ortola (GK) 1.6M From Villarreal - Looks good he is currently 18 so it gives me a GK for the future.

Ruud van Nistelrooy (ST) 850k From Malaga - Adds a bit of experience to the squad and has played 10d 11.

Isaac Cuenca (AMR) 1.1M From Barce - We all know what barce youngsters are like! He annoyed me a bit by saying that I should remodel the wholed around him.

Out:
Jake Livermore (MC) 2.9M To Blackpool - Didn't see a future for him.

Andros Townsend (ML) Loaned To Stoke - I feel he needs real competitivee time.

Brad Freidel (GK) 50k To Wolves - I felt he was too old, His value had also took a massive hit and went to like 28k he had not played once.

Carlo Cudicini (GK) Free Transfer - He only cost me 335k to release and I was paying him 40k p/w to sit on the bench.

Bongani Khumalo (DC) Free Transfer - He requested mutual termination after a fall out.

Danny Rose (DL,ML) Loaned to Reading - He needede time.

Massimo Luongo (ST) 240k to Swansea - I saw no future for him

Louis Saha (ST) 325k to Saint Etienne - His value took a hit because he wasn't playing and I felt he was to old and his contract was about to run out.

Yassine Benzia (ST) Loaned To Leyton Orient - He has already played a few for me and he looks promising I just felt he needed longere time.

Ryan Nelsen (DC) Free Transfer - His contract expired.

Season Summary:
It was a greatn just hoping I can do it again next season and hopefully win the champs league!

Extra Notes:
From now on my updates will happen Just before firste of the season, Jan window and End of the season.

Thanks for reading!
Awesome first season. You will probably become the next Bill Nicholson in your game. Btw, could you upload your tactics? And it will be interesting to see how you will replace Adebayor...
Looking good so far, I'm absolutely loving that league table. I would also like to see you tactic or I'd like to know in what ways you are doing things in the Bill Nicholson way? How much creative freedom, how much rigidity and so on.

'I couldn't be more chuffed if I were a badger at the start of the mating season' - Ian Holloway


Ok so, I have just had the community shield (vs Man City), first PL game (vs Aston Villa) and euro super cup (vs Madrid). Here are the transfers and results.
...but first I have some exciting news
http://i50.tinypic.com/2elci6p.png
I took it straight away no decision. I haven't played any games with England yet but I have a World Cup qualifier soon. I did take over Team GB for the Olympics too! and I won it, but I cant find the results screen as I forgot to take a pic of it before it made me leave.

So my transfers first,

Very good signings and very good season for you, I must say. The England job will be interesting, and having Tottenham's scouting team will help you with that.
I just started following this, but good I caught it early.
Cool story so far - like the signings. Good luck :)
There are some very good transfers. I'm glad you haven't gotten rid of any of the (potentially) huge stars like Modric, Bale and Sandro and instead have even signed some who fit into that category.
After heavy demand here are my tactics:

Tactic 1:
I usually this in the prem.
