We reached 7501 this season. I thought I had timed it perfectly for 7 day applications to come back once I got it, but selling 2 players in one day dropped my club value below 100m on the one day that mattered, so I ended up with 7 days of 6501 staff applicants
Nevermind, once the bank balance came in the next day, it put our rating back up above 7500. So, after 3 and a half years as manager of the Ducks, today I have got this club staff from the 7500 bracket which was unexpected but fantastic.
The most important thing next season is starting strong and being in the top 4ish of the league so that we can get 7 days of 7501 staff applicants and then we can kick on and start actually challenging for trophies.
We were so poor in the league this season, beating none of the clubs around us. Getting to 7501 for the very first time when you're 6th in the league takes some doing...
We did well in the cups though, which I imagine has played a huge factor in our club rating; we lost on penalties in the final of the Platinum Shield to Blind Monkeys (you couldn't let us have one, Glosterra?), and went out in the semis of the Brazilian Cup and the last 16 of the Super Cup.
The next goal will be to win a trophy, whatever that may be.
