Exciting finish. Thanks Paul.

Thanks Paul for an excellent year as ever and congrats to everyone in England - the hardest Prem I can remember. Think I only used around 13/14 players or so all season so how the squad kept going I don't know... Now whose up for some transfers...

Argentina

Argentinos 57 +43 Les Kernow Napoli's feeder club

Alpine 

Innsbruck 61 +59 Chris Manning
Grasshoppers 61 +58 Dave Allison
Debrecen 50 +28 unmanaged
Basel 41 +24 Davie Gallacher feeder club for Benfica.

The most exciting finish ever in this league where we combined teams from Austria, Switzerland and Hungary and Innsbruck just pinching the title from Grasshoppers by a single goal difference, couldn't be closer...

Belgium

Genk 58 +52 Phil Green feeder club for Watford.
Liege 53 +44 Gert Verheyen
Anderlecht 51 +41 Scott Cagliuri

Defensor 57 +54 Richard Booty feeder club for Ancona.
Nacional 49 +22 Rob Wilson feeder club for Barcelona.
Strongest 47 +32 Pete Davies feeder club for PSV.
Catolica 45 +26 Richard Burgess.

A great triumph for Booty junior as he lifts the title although it may have been different had Rob been in charge of Nacional for longer and next season should prove very exciting...

Brazil

Santos 5+55 Geoff Fields 
Fluminense 53 +35 Tom Hurst 
Corinthians 49 +18 Steve Best

Santos depose Fluminense but it's been nip and tuck between the top two ever since they came to Brazil and long may it continue...

Ireland

Cherry 62 +53 Geoff Fields feeder club for Man City.
Bohemians 51 +34 Roger Miller.
Glentoran 49 +20 Andy Christie feeder club for Liverpool.

Premiership

Plymouth 48 +35 Ben Wilson.
Man City 48 +25 Geoff Fields.
Charlton 45 +26 Tom Hurst.
Watford 42 +28 Phil Green.

Plymouth take the plaudits as Ben steers them to first place it what has been an exhilerating season for the English top flight, it's always close and this season was no different...

Palace 35 +6 Brett Sinclair
----------
Spurs 34 +5 John Fraser
Newcastle 33 -6 Mark Sanderson

The Canaries take the top spot as Richard lifts his beloved Norwich to promotion, again, following a short absence from the game he returns with a bang...Derby or Coventry for the playoffs the first semifinal will be crucial, best be ready lads...

Conference

Hartlepool 55 +40 Geoff Jones
Brighton 45 +25 Tom Grealish

France

Nantes 64 +75 Tom Hurst feeder club for Charlton.
Paris 50 +40 Alain Joubert.
Marseille 46 +43 Pete Durham.
Monaco 46 +38 Lionel Gabon.

Tom's record at Nantes is truly impressive as he lifts no less than his fifth league title in France, to add to his Europa Cup win and no less than four Cup wins, the "Untouchables" of French football...

Germany

Schalke 61 +64 Andy Le Butt.
Bayern Munich 57 +46 Matthew Moore.
Gladbach 46 +32 Mark Hoyland.
Cologne 40 +13 unmanaged.

Pretty much a rerun of last season with Schalke grabbing yet another German trophy to add to their vast collection and it looks like they might be getting even stronger next season as they look likely to sign Neymar this week. 

A very well deserve TREBLE of trophies for Andy this season makes him my manager of the year, very well deserved and very impressive...

Byzantium

Olympiakos 66 +65 John Horrocks feeder club for Inverness.
Sofia 61 +44 unmanaged.
Tirane 44 +14 unmanaged.
Panathinaikos 42 +8 reality manager.

Another good season for John as he continues to champion Greek football...

Holland

Ajax 66 +77 Greg Elmassian
PSV 54 +49 Pete Davies
Feyenoord 47 +40 Bob McLelland
Rotterdam 46 +33 Mick Bateman

Italy

Inter Milan 47 +24 Paul Stewart
Ancona 46 +30 Richard Booty
Juventus 42 +24 Paul Jones
AC Milan 42 +22 Johnny Goldsmith

Ancona came close but ultimately fell at the last hurdle, which is hugely disappointing unless you are in Inter's camp, even a change of manager didn't sidetrack them from another very impressive season in Italy...

Australasian

Melbourne 53 +35 unmanaged.
Suwon 37 +9 unmanaged.
Sydney 36 +9 Mike Seager feeder club for Chelsea.
Grampus 32 +2 unmanaged.

This league hasn't been the same since Melbourne lost the managerial services of Andy Mill to the ravages of retirement and Sydney need to improve considerably if they are challenge next season...

Gulf

Tachira 62 +58 Colin Adams
Necaxa 43 +11 reality manager
Millonarios 34 +8 reality manager
Guadaljara 34 -2 unmanaged

An excellent first season for the small club from Venezuela who seem likely to become a feeder club next season as Colin looks likely to add an English club to his portfolio of clubs. Colin managed Aberdeen to much success back in the early years of the game and Darlington earlier in the season and looks likely to takeover at Leicester next year...

Norse

Brondby 66 +73 Sean Sandy
Viking 56 +46 Dave Hooper
Gothenburg 55 +34 unmanaged
Stockholm 51 +46 Brandon Eaton feeder club for New York Cosmos.

It was touch and go for the top two until late into the season when Viking suffered several crucial injuries to crucial players which allowed Brondby to take the title, might be different next season though...

Prussian

Sparta 59 +58 Karl Wasley
Gornik 57 +57 Ivan Klassa
Shaktar 57 +50 Ray Marsh
Wisla Krakow 49 +35 Dorota Klassa

This was a close fought title this season with Karl's Sparta Prague side coming out on top and it should get even better next year as the top clubs from Slovakia make an appearance...

Portugal

Benfica 63 +71 Davie Gallacher.
Constantin 61 +46 Johnny Goldsmith feeder club for AC Milan.
Porto 52 +36 Paul Cowes.
Lisbon 50 +39 Greg Mullery.

A superb finish sees Benfica retain their league title to further add to Davie's massive haul of trophies, in charge since season nine he has now won the league six times, the cup ten times and the super cup four times, very impressive even if the competition is not the best...

Russia

Spartak Moscow 61 +73 Albie Fox
Ventspils 37 +8 unmanaged
Dinamo Brest 30 -5 unmanaged
Dinamo Minsk 27 -2 unmanaged

One lose and one draw the only drawbacks in an almost perfect season for Spartak Fox which sees him do the League and Cup Double and likely to seek out a tougher challenge next season maybe returning to manage Fulham...

Africa

Kaiser Chiefs 59 +36 unmanaged
Accra 40 +23 Dave Agyarko feeder club for Wycombe
Mamelodi 38 +13 unmanaged
Enyimba 29 -3 unmanaged

The Chiefs took the title after Dave took his eye off the ball with his feeder club but hopefully Accra's troubles are all behind them and next season will be much better...
