Day 59

With the transfer window closed, I was treated to a roundup of activity in the league. We weren't the biggest movers in the market—newly-promoted Alfreton signed nine players to our seven (although it appears the half dozen signings before my arrival were not counted).

We have five league games this month (September), including an away tie against title-favourites Luton Town.

On the training front, Assistant Manager Curtis Woodhouse reported that Joe Anyon and Jean-François Christophe made the most progress.

Meanwhile, I picked up 3rd place on August's Manager of the Month Award. I'm pretty stoked to pull that off in the first month of my first season as a football manager. Here's to many more awards to come.

The board confidence update kept me firmly on my feet, though. They are "satisfied" with my management. Ouch—I thought I was doing well, exceeding expectations and building a strong first-team squad with no transfer budget.
