RADICAL TRANSFER CHANGE ?
This is just a suggestion to free up players in the GW, it's a radical solution and one that perhaps won't go down well with all managers, however, he it is.
At the end of each season ( i.e now) everyone must sell ALL their players that have playing concerns, whether this be level 4 or just level 1, a player whose concern has dropped (green arrow) would be exempt.
I would further suggest that these players be sold externally, this would stop any deals being struck such as managers swapping unhappy 90 rated players, this wouldn't help anything, sell them externally then everyone has a chance and managers wont have to make decisions on who to sell to should multiple similar offers be made.
As I said this would be radical but when I looked this morning there was 4 pages of players that had playing concerns, that's a lot of players and would certainly give managers something else to think about throughout the season regarding who plays and who they are prepared to risk losing.
IN THE BENTOS LOUNGE - PSG MANAGER GARY NAYLOR

Todays Bentos Lounge guest is PSG manager Gary Naylor
Gary is no stranger to controversy this season with the French giants relegation prompting calls for Gary to step down from the club he has presided over since the very inception of T100 back in 2015.
I spoke to Gary to get his side of the story....
Gary, you've been in charge of PSV for 3 and a half years now, what do you think you've achieved in this time?
Not as much as we should have really! But still more than most! We've won the shield and super cup a few seasons back! The thing is success is measured in many different ways! Most people look at silverware! And of course that's the best way, we all want that! But you have to look a bit deeper as well, You have to look at the future and where the club is heading! It's hard to be successful and give the club a bright future as I have found out! I could have no doubt finished higher in the league and avoided relegation if I'd kept some of the players I had! But what good is a top 6 finish with an oap side? That side then declines, gets relegated and never returns to the top flight! I've sacrificed top players for some bright youth, yes I've also been relegated but just look at the squad!! The future is very very bright for PSG! I'm absolutely certain if you ask the owners and fans if they'd prefer to swallow a relegation with a team brimming with youth potential and a bright future or a top 6 finish with a declining team with no future??? I'm sure they'd all take the relegation! Cos this PSG squad will win div 2 and return to div 1 and be a force to be reckoned with! There are teams that finished higher in div 1 that have nowhere near the future we have here! And we have that future because of my work!
2) What would your answer be to the critics who say you've had more than long enough at PSG and this seasons relegation has to result in your sacking and another gaffer given the chance at a big club, as it would be in real life?
I'd say they don't know what loyalty is!! I've bought players who have under performed but I've stuck by them and they've turned the corner and been a success! All I'm asking is for one chance just like I've given to many! I know the club better than anyone, I know where we went wrong, so I'm 100% the man to get us back up and be a force in div 1! Why should someone else come in and reap the rewards of my work!? Yes there is still work to be done but I feel like I've built the foundations of a house, the walls, windows etc and now someone wants to come in lay a carpet on the floor and claim it as there own!?!?!? Personally I've got more decorum! I couldn't lower myself to steal someones hard work
3) If you were granted another season at PSG what contract stipulations would you likely have?
given the quality of the squad I’d say a title win is what the owners would want!? And I’m happy with that!
4) Which players progress are you most proud of in your time at PSG?
Although he hasn't set the world alight YET! probably kingsly Coman! He's been in and out of the side struggling with form and injuries, but he is a world class player and he's gonna show the rest of You exactly that in the next few seasons
5) If you are sacked how do you feel you will cope at a lower division club?
To me, loyalty is everything! I'm a very loyal and sentimental man, if the owners don't give me the chance I feel I deserve then I will walk away from football, it would break my heart to sit and watch someone else tear this club apart
6) What's your players all time favourite post match food?
We all love a portion of southern fried frog from the takeaway down the road, Kingsley's uncle owns the place so we go there quite a lot.
Thank you Mr journalist, I hope You enjoy the complimentary wine and portion of southern fried frogs we gave you.
Thank you Gary, the wine was decent but the frogs we hid under some jumpers in our local Primark

BREAKING: Beddows overthrows Perez
Incredible scenes across the city of Madrid this evening as Real Madrid boss passes an Enabling Act which ensures he is now the all powerful leader of Madrid in what some have described as a military style takeover - lets examine how this has come about.
[captiongenerator.com/1326282/B...](http://captiongenerator.com/1326282/Beddows-Recieves-News-of-Hugo-Duros-Signing)
Beddows' troops then stormed the offices, posted Pogba and his troops (the Under 21's) outside of the offices - whilst General Dier proceeded to arrest and imprison Perez and his minions. Beddows then declared to the players that in the interest of the club that it was necessary to act so decisively - as the implusive decisions of the former chairman had led the club to ruin. He then emotionally stated...
"No more shall we, at Madrid be ruled by Perez and the rules of Top100 - we shall and will do what we want... Under my leadership moving forward I promise you to be swimming in silverware - so much that you shan't know whether to cry from drowning or cry tears of joy and happiness! We shall implement a new regime at the club - away fans will be banned from the City! We shall impose self-imposed transfer bans on the following clubs: Any clubb managed by Scallotti, Hamburg, Juventus (maybe), Anderletcht and Athletic Club!" The crowd roared their approval - numbers circa 1 million were gathered in the streets of the city's central square.
"We will allow Atletico Madrid to exist... under our very own supervision... We will go on the attack on all fronts next season - the SMFA Shield being our number 1 target!"
"Y nada mas... HALA Madrid..." Beddows was they cheered with scenes similar to that of the 1999 European Cup final in the 93rd minute - after years of Keane and Perez oppression the fans finally felt that they had achieved their freedom... they finally had their club back.
Man City Future Transfers S10
City players Deyovaisio Zeefuik and Sandro Ingolitsch will move to Boca in the new season. The deals are the final part of the Puig transfer.
In addition, Kamil Jozwiak will likewise move in the new season to Saints as the final part of the Diallo/Saint-Maximin/Doan deal.
Also, Todibo and Alakouch will move to City from West Brom in completition of the Lopes deal.
All deals were publicly announced on the TOP100 news feed when the original transfers were agreed.
River finally confirm Wilson
As per the newsfeed and my post on River's season we can confirm the future transfer of Callum Wilson from Athletic Club in exchange for Marcus Lllorente and Inigo Cordoba. Pleasure to Dr Martinez for the deal, one I'm delighted with as I've been chasing Wilson a while now. The deal will be completed on 16th April once cordoba's ban is up.
RIVER CRUISE TO DIVISION 5 TITLE
In my 1st season with the Argentinian giants the initial target was a crack at the play off's with a new squad which had been radically re hauled after finishing 20th the previous season before my arrival. The 1st team squad which finished season 9 consists of just 1 player who wasn't signed by me and he is my reserve keeper.
On to the season itself and it started in great fashion, a 3-0 away win at Rubin Kazan. River fans got brought back to life fairly quickly with back defeats to Augsburg and Independiente, both narrow 1 goal defeats. The springboard to the season's success followed though as the lads bounced back in simply great fashion..7 STRAIGHT WINS.the first 5 of them without conceding a goal as the lads roared to the top of the table. A mini wobble came after the magnificent 7 with a treble loss in the league as Alkmaar, Bordeaux and Udinese took the spoils. 1st round cup defeats in the shield and cup probably helped us focus our efforts on the league with players fully fit in the league campaign.
We recovered to take maximum points from games against West Brom & Dinamo Zagreb before Feyenoord left Argentina with 3 points. Game 17 saw our run of win/lose come to an end with our first draw of the season against Lille in an entertaining 2-2 match. We ended the 1st half of the season with back to back wins against Twente and Malaga. We finish the 1st half of the season in pole position for promotion with 37 points from 19 games, 12 wins. I'm happy with this so far!
We exited the youth cup against PSV after a 3-2 aggregate defeat, 2-2 away had set us up nicely I had thought but a disappointing 1-0 defeat left us out on our arses. The league's reverse fixtures started in the same fashion, win against Rubin and defeat to Augsburg. Happy with the wins but the defeats kept cropping up, 7 defeats in 21 wouldn't normally be the catalyst for a title charge but with just the 1 draw the wins were keeping us flying.
The next 11 games give us the consistency I craved, 7 wins 3 draws and just the 1 defeat. We are now flying, 8 points clear of 2nd and I'm looking at previous league winners to see what the record winning margin in division 5 is, arrogance at it's finest(11 points by Villarreal in season 2 with a record 85 points in case you are wondering) . Then our arses started twitching, 3 successive draws closed that 8 point gap to 2nd to 3 points. 3 games left and I've got 2 of my 3 immediate promotion rivals to play. I'm now looking at the gap to 4th and thinking have I enough to gain promotion let alone the title which had looked nailed on 3 games ago. A 2-1 home defeat did absolutely nothing to calm the nerves, the gap stayed 3 to 2nd but 4th was now just 5 points away. A point was needed for promotion as our goal difference would see us ok.
Away to Twente whilst our rivals were all at home scared me, was this gonna be the greatest slip since Gerrard? Well we started slow and the game was still 0-0 when 8 minutes into the 2nd half Ze Luis strode on to a Diego Demme through-ball to fire us 1-0 up..aah this feels better! 15 minutes later and it was 2-0 as sub Cordoba struck a fantastic half volley to send the River fans delirious. Remember a point was enough and with 20 mins to go we are 2-0 up. Twente however were battling despite their lowly league position and sure enough they pulled a goal back on 73 when Eder flicked home a cross. However the kitchen sink failed to materialise and we saw the game out without any further scares..2-1 we were promoted!!! A quick check on our rivals and we weren't just promoted WE WERE CHAMPIONS!!! Malaga had drew and West ham had lost, 4th place Lille won so the battle was now who was joining us, all 3 tied on 65 points. Not my concern although I would stick a full strength team out in our final game to Malaga as the integrity of the league needed to maintain. A carnival atmosphere welcomed both teams but the game itself was an anti-climax 0-0 but both sets of fans celebrated as Malaga's point ensured they secired 2nd place as well. Happy days all round.
The season ended for us in Holland with that win against Twente, My first success in T100 and straight away I was looking to improve the squad for our Division 4 campaign. In the days following we agreed several deals which I'm delighted with, although I am sad to see Wan-Bissaka leave the club. The ins and outs are as follows, IN's on the left OUT's on the right
- Fabian Schar for Bittencourt and Salcedo <completed>
- Martin Dubravka for Ulreich <completed>
- Jordan Lukaku for Bruma <completed>
- Bonfim Marlos & A Jahanbakhsk for Van Aanholt <completed>
- Duarte Bernard & K Walker-Peters for Wan-Bissaka <completed>
- Francisco Montero for Ribery <completed>
- Goncalvez Ismaily for Garcia & Chust <pending due to complete this weekend>
- Callum Wilson for Llorente and Cordoba<pending due to complete 16th april>
Thanks for the read, hope I haven't bored the life out of you, if I have tough shit ha.
New Managers Wanted
Applications are invited from managers currently within the Top 100 game world for six jobs which are available following the final round of matches in Season 9.
Please complete the very short application form below.
D2 Final Games of the Season Preview
Milan all but won the title on Sunday night. They would need a catastrophic defeat at home to lowly Villarreal, and a big win at Valencia for de facto runners-up Anderlecht to lose out now.
A catastrophic defeat for Anderlecht, on the other hand, along with a big win for Standard Liege at Newcastle, would see the Belgian clubs swap promotion places.
Cry Wolfsburg!
A more likely scenario, yet one that would not have seemed possible a few games ago, would be defeat for Liege, and a win for form team Wolfsburg in Berlin, results that would see the German club promoted.
There are five teams below Wolfsburg who could all still claim the three remaining play-off places.
Gladbach in fifth host Zenit in sixth, and a draw may well be enough for both.
Inter, who were setting the early-season pace with Milan before dropping off badly, host relegated Galatasaray, and could yet end up failing even to gain a play-off place.
Everyone will be listening to their radios, anxiously waiting for news from Verona and relegated Sevilla, where Manchester City and Sassuolo, respectively, will be hoping to benefit from defeats for Inter, Zenit or Gladbach.
Gala Hell and Hertha Hurt?
With CSKA, Sevilla, Galatasaray and Hertha all already knowing their fate is to play Division Three football next season, all that is left to be decided is who will be sacked.
The Moscow club's manager Jimmy Gouldie is spared that fate, and it would be no surprise to see all three of the others lose, and the axe falling on the Doc's and Rahul's heads.
D1 Final Games of the Season Preview
Barcelona won their fifth D1 title on Sunday night with a 1-0 win at the home of the defending champions, and three-time winners, Bayern Munich.
Fight For Fourth
Still to be settled at the top of the table is who will win the 4th place 'trophy'? Roma, Chelsea or Juventus?
Chelsea and Juventus appear to have the simplest with home fixtures against already relegated PSG, and relegation threatened Dortmund, respectively.
Wins for Chelsea and Juventus will see them finish above Roma unless the latter can beat Bayern's reserves at home.
Chelsea's superior goal difference may well be the deciding factor here.
Spurs to Stay Up? Napoli to Drop?
At the the other end, in addition to PSG, Schalke are already down, leaving an intriguing final round of matches with five teams fighting to avoid the final two relegation places.
Dortmund's tough task in Turin means they are the most likely of the five to be playing the likes of Hamburger next season.
Spurs host Liverpool, knowing that a draw might be enough if Internacional lose by two or more in the Bernabeu.
Napoli visit Genoa, where anything less than a win could see them relegated if Dortmund and Spurs win, or if one of them wins and Internacional draw.
Arsenal are not safe, either, and they go to the Camp Nou to play the newly-crowned champions. If they lose, and the teams below all win, they will go down in one of the shocks of the season.
Red Shorts Lose Their Rojo

After failing in ambitious bids to land winger Serge Gnabry and left back Ferland Mendy this week, Hamburger manager Marsden has swooped for long-time target, veteran utility wide player Ashley Young.
Departing for Southampton in return will be Marcos Rojo, who has been a rock in der Dino's promotion-winning back line this season, until succumbing to injury.

Also joining as part of the Rojo deal is young left-back Adam Masina.
The club is delighted to bring in a versatile and experienced leader like Ashley Young. He will give us more options in Division Two next season, in full-back and wing positions.
Adam Masina is a player I like, and he will provide much-needed cover and competition for Marcel Schmelzer on the left.
We're sorry to see Marcos go after such a great season, but we wish him every success at Southampton, and thank his new manager Niall Taylor for the quick and easy negotiations.

The two managers should then arrange for one of them to create a new post here on the blog under the Future Transfers category.
Pre-agreed transfers can still proceed with one or both managers on a transfer ban.

Kenneth Omeruo (Villarreal) - Athletic Club
Carlos Eduardo & Odion Ighalo (Atheltic Club) - Villarreal
Last Tango In Paris
It's that time of the season - squeaky bum time for managers who have slipped down a greasy pole into the abyss, and are hoping for a leg up and way out.
Harry Kane Paris Saint-Germain is the prize that Mike Scallotti everyone has been waiting for!
Sadly for beleaguered PSG gaffer Gary Naylor, who desperately wants one last dance in D2 with his only Top 100 team next season, the French club's board have fallen out of love with him, and are keen to find a new man to make their fans happy again.
Naylor said:
The owners appreciate the work I have done in building a young squad with potential so give me a chance to put things right. Promotion is a must!
Gary Naylor, outgoing PSG boss
Today, Bayern boss Mike Scallotti scotched rumours he would move to Paris in order to be with Harry Kane, issuing the following battle cry after the Bavarian giants failed to retain their D1 title in Scallotti's first season in charge:
I am looking to strengthen now ready for next season. Looking to strengthen the overall team, majority of youth can also go.
Mike Scallotti, looking to make some deals
Schalke will also issue a P45 to their enigmatic coach IanD, who responded by issuing a statement through his legal team: 'No comment'.
Over Limit Beddows Banned From Making Crap Transfer Deals

Sir Stephen Beddows has seemingly flouted the imminent new rule change brought in by Top 100's authorities for managers who go over the 50 player squad limit.
