7501
Unless I get a Average Player Rating jump, I've just missed out on the holy grail of IAG this season by the smallest margin

If not this season then maybe next season or soon after it will happen,,, fingers crossed!!!

It's taken me more than 2 years to get to this stage lol

I've been fighting a losing battle in this regard for the past few seasons. Closest I've been was 84 points away earlier this season. I've been hovering between 7200 and 7400 for ages now.

It's so intensely frustrating that such a tiny margin can hold your club back so massively, and it's got me seriously considering my future at the club.

As someone who achieved 6501 well before you (Kane) joined and quite soon after you (FS) returned, and only just made it into the big boy club this season...it's a long old frustrating, demoralising, soul crushing slog. I've been thinking for the last three or four seasons that "this is the one" only to be dumped unceremoniously out of the Super Cup in the third round or have some bad league results to scupper my chances.

The note of optimism I can bring is that, provided you are winning the majority of your games (which I'm sure you are), you *should* be increasing your underlying points tally every season, no matter how slowly. It takes time, but don't give up now you're so close

Despite being relatively close to 7500, I feel like my club is at least 10 seasons away from that mark, I still need stadium expansions, promote another 10 or so good quality youths, get that APR up to above 80 and all the while keep wages and general costs down.
There is a long way to go yet.

There's a new name on the Scudetto! Serie A champs... Hopefully we can get that 7501 soonish to further stamp our names on more trophys

Two years is not a long time in this game. It's probably the quickest any manager has climbed that far, especially a manager who is new to the game. So well done, so far.

On the other hand, you haven't quite made it yet, still some way to go.

All the best for next season.

I'm going in ham this season to try and get to 7501, I'm not sure the signing of 90+ rated old players is the right strategy but maybe just maybe something may happen in the next 2 seasons.

Today reached 7490
So close I can almost touch it??..
Actually pleased I lost league cup match as the cash for losing was beneficial
Now for 11 more points

Bingo
Just one day but it?s enough

Well done!

Well done.

Well done, our league is now so competitive, making my job even more a challenge.

Nice one! Kadikoy won't be easy but it looks like you've done enough

Bit of a posh trendy part of Istanbul is Kadikoy, useless info but good luck with getting the staff

Pleased to get a result there
Our Nigerian boys always have a good time in posh bit of Istanbul
Nigeria prem is now a fantastic league, with any of 6 teams could win league and all the top teams dropping points to teams all the way down to about 14th
It?ll go down to last game
New coach already on board and 7 day advert gone out. Now have to just stay above 7501 for a week?.

I'm only 41 points away myself now and if we sign one more player I know we'll get an APR boost (recently dropped a point due to a retirement) so this evening's match against you is absolutely crucial for both of us.

Sadly I've had 6 away draws in a row in the cups this season all against top-division opponents and that's not helping matters at all.

Also doesn't help when you control the game and still lose on penalties.

Every time I get close to 7501 the game chucks rotten RNG luck at me

Sorry about that. Looks like one of those games where the stats just don?t match the result. But I?ll take it
That 7501 can be so elusive and sometimes you have to take a step back to move forward

Hopefully FireSilver has noticed he has broke the threshold and has some luck with the staff,,, it'll stop him from whinging when he gets them

Are you kidding, I started writing my post in the Serie A forum at 8:02pm

I already had 7-day adverts out which are due back on Friday evening but I'm hedging slightly and cancelled the coach advert and replaced it with a 1-day one to make sure I get one.

Hopefully we get the coach and he's good, we stay above 7501 until the weekend, and get the rest of them in. Then I can put out a longer listing for the coach. If we miss out of the Friday 7501, then at least we have the key role of coach.

If we can win our next few tough games then it should be trivial. If we drop points we're going to drop slightly below 7501 again tomorrow by losing 20 points for 2nd place which we currently hold on goal difference.

It's looking promising FireSilver after that 0-2 away win and a couple of days of some type of restbite,,, good luck fella
