That was the past ! the games came fast after that ...We managed to come 5 th in the league table ..Michael owen became the top scorer scoring 28 goals !
the other surprise was that only 2 teams out of the big 4 came in the top 4 this season
The standings of the top 5 were
1) Manchester United
2) Arsenal
3)Aston Villa
4) Reading
5) NEWCASTLE UNITED
But Arsenal had won the champions league by defeating valencia 3-0 and therefore they had secured an automatic champs league spot as they were the defending champions !!
We got qualified for a euro cup spot and that was the best part of the campaign..
Cristiano Ronaldo won the players player of the year record !!
I was too happy ....but wait there were other things going on too !!!!
Michael Owen had jst signed a new 5 year contract worth 50 million pounds. .that was a lot of money but we really needed him if we were to challenge for the league and the Euro Cup
Well the crowd also turned up in large numbers . Our average attendance being over 50 thousand people!!!
A lot of expectations lingered around St . James's Park ....
I was so happy that we had done it .. Mike hosted a party especially for me at a five star .... All things were going on well..
i met micheal at the party and the first thing he said to me was "sorry for all that but m not leaving this club"
I was happy ..that meant that i had my full team with me now !!!
The clubs finances rose !!
At first they gave me a 18 million pound transfer kitty ..i wasnt happy with that .. i wanted more ..!!
but they said that they had only this much ...But after a few days they gave me an additional 28 million pounds ..i was very very happy..the clubs finance had increased greatly ..and with that kind of money coming in i was surely gonna make the club a top 4 club in the near future !!!
i was not a big club so i was hoping for some good talented players to come to the club!!!
The Transfers In : Naldo : the biggest signing of the season !! Cacapa getting old i wanted a central defender ..!! Naldo from werder bremen was the first name and my scouts suggested that i get him at any cost !!
with 7 clubs already behind him to get his signatures i got him at a bid of 19 million pounds
Mark Gonzales - The chilean had impressed me at his time at liverpool and i was of the opinion that he was good on the ball and he could cross really well and which is why i got him at a good price of 9.75 million pounds !
Martin Skrtel - he was okay when i saw him but my scouts said that he had a lot of potential which is why i signed him up at 5 million pounds deal
Lorik Cana - he was one of the best defensive midfielders for me .. he was fantastic in the air and good at the ball and he was great and therefore i signed him up at a cost of 15.5 million pounds
Simon Vukcevic - at the friendly against sporting i saw him as one of the potential players for my club .. he was a good crosser and he seemed a decent player and hence got him at a great price of 4.6 million pounds
Skrtel is a little bit of a wierd signing but all the others seem good. Nice to see you given some more money, but expecting a few 'bigger' transfers in the future.
