Great Expectations!!

Well first thing i'm shown are the expectations for the season. Lets have a look at them one by one.
1. The board expects me to get a top half (10 and above) rank in the table by the end of the season, which is reasonable considering West Ham had a good season previously(in real life) and also have good talent to back it up.
2. Win the FA cup. Hmmm....shouldnt be too tough. Though i should say this will be quite harder to accomplish than the first goal.
3. Upgrade the Stadium Manager. Yup, will do. West ham's Stadium status is still below average which should make upgrading the stadium manager once not too costly.
4. Buy a player below 25 years of age. Well, my aim was to buy players below this age anyways cos i need to look at the future and i know that.
So those are the board expectations.
Oooh, autograph sessions show that Dean Ashton is my most popular player with the fans so i'm advised to make sure he gets lots of spotlight. Will do. Also, some contract issues with present players need to be looked after. Alright, anything else. Oh yeah, the sponser choices. I choose Nekko which appears to be a football viwer brand. Anyhow the sponsor details are as follows,
1. Funding per game - EU(Euro) 370,000. The most important criteria for choosing sponsors.
2. Loyalty Bonus - EU 1,000,000. This is given automatically after i choose the sponsor.
3. League Bonus - EU 160,000. This will be awarded for a top half finish.
4. Cup Bonus - EU 1,000,000. This will be awarded if i reach the semi-finals of the domestic cup tournament.
5. Extra Bonus - EU 350,000. This will be awarded if i can record the most number of clean sheets in the season.
As you can see, the 2nd and 3rd details actually coincide with some of my board expectations, so it gives me added incentive to complete these goals. The Extra Bonus will be a good goal to chase i think.
There, after going through all of these "Great Expectations", i go on to my main Manager Screen.....
