Welcome to week 23 as some of you bask in the glory of your team's success.

The reset is underway...

Pre-season aggro, bickering and snide comments underway in the Wilson household.

You're not even in the same division yet !

I know. Thank goodness he's off to Liverpool for a few days. I need a break.

Some huge orders again this week but I am exceptionally busy with data integrity checks and system backups during the end of season break so I wont have time to do all your extra dealings this week. I'll do the most important ten but you will have to resubmit the ones I don't get too some other time.

I didn't even know we were allowed more than 10!

Me neither!
You've opened the floodgates Paul!

I'm guessing it's just simple things like Listing and Loaning, which, tbh, would be super helpful to get squads sorted for the new season...

Agreed it would be helpful but also had no idea we could do more than 10.

Strictly speaking you cant do more than 10 dealings but if people have missed turns because they've been on holiday or in hospital with an illness ( not just visiting ) then I try to accomodate them best I can, just cant do it during the end of season break.

[size=33]We had this issue a few seasons ago and all agreed to stick to 10 to make Pauls life easier. [/size]

Okay data entry all finished, so I'm going to run all the friendly and tour games first...

I always forget just how busy these 2 weeks are in the close season, should really have two 21 day deadlines for weeks 23 and 24, which is what its looking like becoming anyways. Plenty of changes for most people this week so results will be interesting...

Would be interested to see all the CC results on here, and a few selected Tour matches?

Playoff Semi-final results

Soton 3 West Brom 0 Aspas, Rondon & Rodriguez. Very one sided in Soton's favour.
Spurs 2 Newcastle 0 Defoe & Kalinic. Newcastle bossed it but couldn't score because Schmeichel was superb.

Sheff Weds 3 Burnley 1 Boyd(2) & Floro on 90 minutes. Mceachran for Burnley on 85.
Stoke 3 Wimbledon 1 Nolan(2) & Walters with Parrett geting a late consolation.

Tranmere 1 Derby 3 Hourihane gave Tranmere an early lead but second half goals from Bent, Weimann & Isla won it for Derby.
Portsmouth 2 Middsboro 1

Well done to the winners.

And a very interesting and mouth watering tie to look forward to next week as Soton hope to held off Tottenham in the race for the Premiership. Southampton have been excellent all season and there or thereabouts since week one while Spurs are the in form side so it should be close.

Sheffield Wednesday, like Soton, have been up there all season and barring a slight hiccup could have grabbed second place, but now they have to hold off the challenge of Stoke, who like Spurs, are on fire. Too close to call this one.

Transfers now...

Biggest money transfer was Feyenoord's capture of Davy Klaassen from Ajax for £60millions but there are also lots of smaller transfers too.

Almost finished now, so the printing will be tomorrow and once that is done I will send out the email turns, and if there is time I will post up a few of the Challenge Cup results...

Would make sense to have a week extra during his busy period, give you a bit of a breather too?  Cant remember your last week off?

Agree. Maybe a longer turnaround for this turn coming up?

For those that don't know...

International teams are chosen on week 24, there will be a section at the end of the week 24 order sheet for you to fill in if you want to manage an international side. Each parent club should get an IA ( international team availability ) special action report this week showing the various states of all the international sides, some will be reserved and only available if the reserved managed no longer wants them. 

European/Midweek Cup competitions are also chosen/entered on week 24 order sheet, so look out for them too.

Paul, is there a rule on feeder clubs entering the Champions Cup?
