Default A new era for Cardiff(at least i think)

this is my first thread on fmformation:
i visit this site every day to see what's new on the manager world and i saw this challenge

i took cardiff in the coca-cola chapionship by the name Jonathan Skywalker
i saw that the squad is too decent and that it has holes in all positions
so i made some transfers:
i loaned the mufc trio:Frazier Campbell(ST),Danny Simpson(D/WB R) and Jonathan Evans(DC)
i bought Gabriel Torje from Poli for 230k(AMR ST) and Sepsi Laszlo from Gloria for 100k(DC WB ML) i next i bought my third romanian Bogdan Lobont for 240k
i sold a lot of reserve players so i got the money to buy them all.

My first games as the manager of Cardiff were very bad i played a 4-3-2-1 and i have found out i was to defensive(played 7 matches 0-0 i couldn't belive it).I tried to change my tactic to 4-2-2-2 and it worked better,but i couldn't get some space for my players.But results started to get better and better........Quickly i got to the 7th position that led to playoffs.My singings were great except Cambell who couldn't score one single goal,so in attack i played Folwer and Hasselbaink.I have to mention that Lobont is a great goalkepper for any division,i think.Hasselbaink got injuerd so i had to play Campell with Folwer upfront.The 20-year-old finally started playing and scored for me 5 goals i 5 games.I got to the 1st position beating the leauge leaders Charlton with 8-0 away.
here's the screeny........



But then i had some unexpected losses and i fought a big battle with WBA,Wolves and Sheffield utd.In the mid season i stayed 2nd and used a formation 4-4-2.

The winter transfer marked meant a lot for me.I've finally bought off the contract of Campbell an i've signed Andy Caroll for free!(Newcastle relased him?!).
The attack pair Campbell-Caroll worked pretty well,but something really missed the team.At the end of the season(9 games left) i started to use Wozza Wolves's tactic and the tactic is really great.I've started to score a lot of more goals.And the the master scoring of Campbell,great assists of Torje,master saves of Lobont brang me the first place in championship.




My fixtures:





My squad:





My star players:
Campbell



Torje





Simpson



Lobont






I read the stroy of some guy who played with Leeds and when he got to premiership he got a big transfer budget.I hope i get it because Midelsbrough were relegated and i plan to sign Woodgate,Downing and Briand

I WILL POST ONCE AGAIN TILL MY FIRST SEASON IN PREMIERSHIP ENDS!

Well done on promotion mate.

Good luck in the Premier League next season, I'm sure you'll do fine.

I'm surprised at some of the signings. I've never been able to bring Lobont to the Championship.

Before you die, you see the Tails Doll!
