So from here for the next two years, every decision we make is in the context of winning it all in 1979. I get the feeling I'm setting us up for a fall here but I'm still enjoying the singular focus. When I do my short pause at the end of that season, it'll mean my return will involve a substantial reset for the final phase of this timeline, which should also be fun.
Madlock is the top focus for us. He'll cost a pretty penny but importantly only wants a 2-year deal which suits the club perfectly. So we've got a deal in the works that will make him our franchise's first-ever million-dollar player. EDIT: He eventually signs for two years at right on that figure.
Gossage is another must keep. Others such as Robinson, Forster and Bibby we're still mulling over and will be very much dependent on their demands.
As I mentioned, all three CC slots are vacant and we have a bucketload of money at our disposal. So I won't be shy about hiring top-notch rentals on
multo denarii to help us achieve our goal.
