Hi guys, after last weeks mammoth stream another 4 hours and 30 minutes have been streamed from my Stoke City save. Last time out Stoke were struggling but I got them upto 8th position, below you can see how the season finished and my second season signings. Unfortunately we had a few connection issues so the recording is in four parts, but just click the links below to see the stream, starting with part 1. I have been keeping everyone up-to-date on my offline progress with Stoke through my personal Twitter account, if you want updates and haven’t already, follow me @darrenFMS

Incredible stream last week. Mammoth is definitely the right word. Am definitely watching this one live, in 5 minutes or so actually. Looking forward to it Darren.

Fantastic stream Darren and a great first season with Stoke imo. Next season may be tougher as you may not get a good budget but hopefully the board won’t be too stingy.
By the way did your bets do any good in the Grand National yesterday?

At the end of the stream we get to see some of my budget, but I managed to stretch it so in the end we spent around £20 million, got some good signings so we are set for an interesting season. Did rubbish in the National btw, don’t know why I bother :)

Great stream Darren, really enjoyable. It seems that was a solid first season but unlike me you actually got money to spend which really annoyed me ;) Seems like you’ve made some good signings and a solid start to the new season, let’s hope it continues and a top 4 finish could be on the cards.

Hopefully top four could be a possibility, but injuries will play their part no doubt. I guess the transfer money must vary on the wages and transfer feed paid last season alongside the players you offload and your league finish maybe. But I’d have been a little frustrated to get a small budget.

darren, just finished this second part.
gotta say, your transfers were really good. you completely revamped the attacking bit of your team, which had already delivered 6th spot, which is always risky, but you’ve brought so much quality and potential that i don’t fear for your goalscoring in this new season.
it was a real shame not getting carr. he will be a best for the US, even better than Lallas once was.
it is really interesting to see an attacking minded manager playing. i’m more defender, so i usually start revamping the whole thing from the back. and, being an italian calcio lover, i prefer more workrate, passing, positioning attributes, then flair and speed. so, i’m learning a lot watching you.
hope this season goes well!
cheers

I used to be much more conservative and I can be a bit balanced but generally of late I have preferred to look going forward rather than at the back.

I think the links are broken.

Recordings are deleted by Twitch after a certain length of time, must be what happened to these unfortunately.

No need for you to apologize. I just need to be quicker next time :-)
