Season 12 - Preview - Part 1

Well. I try to get the Milan job, but they give it to Prandelli. Bizarre decision, he's never won anything, and I just won the lot. My only theory is that they aren't willing to pay compensation to Foggia or something (clutching at straws here).

Further reason to leave Foggia (as if I needed one) is that the players refuse to be happy. Winning the treble is apparently not enough for some. Jamie Lowe refuses to sign a new contract and is snapped up by Juve for a cut price 4.3m. Balls. Milan sign THREE of my players who aren't happy. Vanilson Andre, Mourad Meghni and Flavio Pereira leave for the combined total of 26.25m. I sell Joao Pedro Sergio back to FC Porto for 3.5m, he just wouldn't settle. Mo money, mo money. And it looks like I'm gonna have to stay so I start the rebuilding process with the 1.1m signing of Didier Grondin, an impressive looking CM.

Then something great happens. Fabio Capello retires from Roma and football. Great news, a new job opening. Although on closer inspection, Roma's squad is old, completely lacking in depth of any sort and they have little cash. Well, I'm up for the challenge, their stadium is huge, so it won't take long to build up some cash reserves. I quit Foggia and apply. Fingers crossed...
