Waiting for the new Football Manager... and some random thoughts..

So the new season is starting all around Europe. English Premier League has already begun and the italian Seria A and spanish La Liga is starting soon as well. 
After the summer we all know that a lot has happened during 'Silly Season'. Your favorite team has most likely bought a few new players and your youngsters has grown a full year since the last Football Manager.

So here comes the classic fall syndrome, the looong wait for Football Manager that is usually released somewhere in December. Sometimes they patch the squads etc but I can't say for sure that they do that every year. 

I would love to have an update that would give me all the new defensive players to Manchester United! Not as fun if you are a big fan of Barcelona though since they can't purchase players yet due to their transfer stop.

Hopefully FFP (Financial Fair Play) will be removed soon and that would certainly help a lot of teams in Football Manager as well. If the FFP is allowed to live on Premier League will most probably just keep their superiority when it comes to money.
They had insane TV deals already and now the latest news was about the americans just made a huge deal for Premier League in the next 6 years.

However one thing that keeps coming back to me every year nowadays is the fact that I would like to see how Liverpool would do if they actually kept a squad instead of buy a whole bunch of new players each season. I mean, consistency should be important and that is a club with a great tradition. Not saying they made bad deals this summer. Benteke is a monster and they got a lot of money for Sterling which hade upset the fans a lot and that might have caused problems in the future anyway. At least they got a nice amount of money now. 
The worst thing though is that he was a homegrown player and that is a huge factor nowadays. Congratulations to Manchester City! People can say whatever they want about Sterling being overrated etc but City really need english players and that kid is english and one of the most promising young players in the world. 

I wonder when english teams will start to conquer Europe. With their growing financial advantage it should happen in the neaer future. For some reason though they are having huge problems when they play the other teams in Europe. Why is that?
The Premier League is full of players from all the corners of the world which means they can't blame that their all english type of football is not working in Europe. There are also a fair amount of foreign managers as well.
