Just take a break if you're not into it, because every may be upset but it's about your enjoyment, idk though, when you go to a new club that brings the excitement back

It's just waiting for the move once I have that I'll be well up for it again just getting tired of waiting

OK guys so while running the 37/38 season we got to Christmas and I saw that the Juventus job was V insecure so I decided to bight the bullet and resign at PSG, unfortunately they seemed to turn it around and I was now unemployed.

But they then ended up on a downward spiral and come March 2038 the Job became available so I jumped at the chance to apply but after what happened to the main man @danovic78 I was concerned they would hire someone else.

But they didn't and we are now the manager at Juventus with 2 league wins needed to finally complete the Follow the Zlat Challenge (obviously not this season but bring on next season) 

[Taff]

OK so about to start my first full season (finished 7th last season but I had like two months and the team is in awful form)

So my goal in this first season is to rebuild the team lets see how we get on

[danovic78]

At last! Glad you have go that final job...

Me too fella thought it was never going to happen and I thought I'd made a huge mistake leaving PSG but it worked out in the end, just spent £234M rebuilding the squad (sold like £220M of players so not all bad)

[DaB]

Brilliant mate! Well done! Keep going you will get there

I have just moved to PSG in my challenge too, awful squad but you do get a cash injection to help you out.

Yeah one good thing at PSG enough dough to improve the squad, I had a budget of £56M which I turned into £234M worth of players so call me Gandalf

Me too just a couple of league wins away now

[Taff]

OK first full season at Juventus and we did what we had to.

That's right first of my two league titles in the bag

The first thing I had to do this season was rebuild the whole team and Gandalf here managed to turn a £56M budget into well this....

I know that is a ridiculous amount to spend in one season but I sold almost as much

So after only technically spending £47M I had a brand new squad (save a few old faces in midfield to crack on with the season.

Here's our season results and we were flying until February with only 2 draws and one loss and then had a really bad couple of months but it all worked out in the end, even adding an Italian Cup to the trophy case (did help not being in any European competitions my players didn't lose too much stamina)

 

Like I said really bad run in February but it worked out in the end.

As for my players well my IF (as usual) killed it this season.  Here's the player stats

So top goal scorer and top of the assist list not to bad for a £14.5M buy

and here are the end of season awards

Of course my IF won player of the year and my two strikers coming 1st and 2nd in the young player of the year and another manager of the year award for me.

 

So onto season 2 and hopefully we can finish the follow the Zlat challenge in style.

Big congratulations to you taff ???? you really have set the bar high on this one mate, and with 5 seasons still to go every credit mate.

[danovic78]

Fantastic achievement @Taff!

Well don't on complete this challenge, look a bit rocky at times but you pulled it off.

Shall update the leaderboard. Let's hope I can finish mine off.

He used it? Taff has some explaining.

but great effort mate

[UKFootballScore]

You can see the editor has been activated on his Juventus pictures

Never know what has been edited but even just editing morale on players makes a MASSIVE difference

The honest truth guys is I used it on my Welsh team who I was managing at the same time and I used it twice during friendlies to heal players with low condition (If you look at one of the news pictures you can see them asking me to name my welsh squad)

you'll just have to take my word that I didn't use it with Juventus

IMO it doesn't matter, the save has been tampered with and for a really stupid reason by the sounds of it. 

However this isn't my challenge so it's not my call, it's up to the original challenge creator if he'll accept this entry. Personally for me you broke a rule of the challenge and should be disqualified, allowing this would be a mockery of the rules but as I said that's my opinion and I'll let Dan decided. Dan feel free to PM me if you wanna chat before making a decision. 

[Mikee1984]

No way, 25 years down the drain and for what? I hope danovic accepts your explanation cause In fairness it didn't actually influence anything IMO.

The issue is you can't be sure that's all that was edited. That's why most challenges have a simple no editor rule. 

[DaB]

Taff, it sounds like you are telling the truth but what a waste of 25 years of FMM if you have done it. 

i don't know what to say but you may have screwed the challenge up.
