Decided to sign the lad Vinet, didn't check his potential on an editor or anything but his description before i signed him loan was listed as "Promising Youngster" so the team might have gotten a gem here and he's been excellent. First game after signing scores four in a match and gets a 9.9 rating playing 90 mins. 
Biggest win of the season so far, Vinet scores a hat-trick in his third game after signing that makes that 7 goals in 3 games played. Barnsley were 2nd so with the win the team is just a point behind Barnsley for 2nd place.

Oh my. I guess I say this every season, but I don't envy whoever is going to do the Championship.

Chelmsford are going to the Championship! 
More than 100 goals scored. 
I would say largely thanks to this guy Jean-Claude Vinet, signed him in the mid-season transfer window after coming on loan before that, scored 25 goals in total not 18 if you include those during his loan spell.
The team went on an amazing run of 24 games unbeaten right till the last game after a patchy start, the record was nearly lost though in the last game when the team was 2-0 down and managed to score two in the last 10mins.
Reasons to the amazing run the defending improved a whole lot had a separate training schedule for the defenders so that might have helped. The tactic seemed to work very well, being a 4-3-2-1. Noticed in the backroom advice screen that a lot of the teams in the league did well against teams in a 4-4-2 decided to give that tactic a try and has worked great since especially with Carroll upfront and Vinet and Merida supporting him.
Castro won League 1 Manager of the Year and was offered a job by Burnley turned down. Four of the players were included in the team of the year.
Some thoughts on the next season for the person taking over a lot of the old folks are retiring Diao,Hendrie. Phillips the lot so not much reserves available.
I think a third gk needs to brought in whether it being a new No.1 or a good back-up. Brought Simonsen on loan mid-season after Lonergan had a Darren Anderton spell and kept getting injured non-stop. Thank goodness he came Soderberg got injured as well so for a short period Simonsen was the only available keeper. Might consider selling Lonergan he isn't really that good and is on a ridiculously huge contract (it wasn't me
) Soderberg is not too bad but its League 1, Simonsen can be considered as well.
Took the liberty to sign two of the players that did well on loan Alex Bilington from Man Utd LB the future of the team with Vignal aging and Mesa from Man City Strk to provide strength upfront.
Game saved in early June will upload the file in a bit.

Okay so here's a little update. I've been busy trying to get our squad up to the championship challenge. I told the board I'm going for a mid-table finish, but secretly I'm opting for promotion. Subsequently I got almost 15m to spend. Here's what I did with it. Screenshots of stats on demand.
Roberto Mesa (ST, 20 years) and Alex Billington (DL, 20 years) are two signings fender made. Mesa is going to be a backup striker with a chance to break into the first eleven for me. Billington is one for the future, will probably spend most of the season in the reserve squad.
Mikael Dorsin (DL, 31 years) is a short-term free signing that I made, to give me a little bit more depth on the DL position. Juan Quero (AM RLC, 28 years) is a (certainly for championship standards) quality winger, who can play at both sides as well as in the middle. Liam Fontaine (D LC, 27 years) is a signing I made to get our defense up to Championship standards, Caldwell is getting old and slow while the other defenders are for the most part pretty poor. Kevin Drysdale (AM L) is a 17 year old talented winger from Portsmouth. He's and Murphy are going for the left winger spot. Philip Kristiansson (D/M R, 23 years) is a Finnish right back, to give us some options on the right back spot. Roy Cooper (AM R, 19 years) comes from Sheff Utd on loan and is a backup right winger to Quero. Finally Mezo (D/DM C, 17 years) is a talented defensive midfielder, this season probably still behind McCann but can turn out to be our main defensive midfielder in the near future.
These are the tactics I'm starting the season with it.
I'm using a pretty straight forward 4-4-2 Diamond, which I change from time to time to 4-1-3-2, moving Merida(our playmaker) back to the MC spot, playing a bit more defensive. I'll mostly us this tactic when we play away or against a difficult opponent. The main focus point is of our attack is our target man, Andy Caroll who'll recieve balls from either Merida or our two wingers and then either go for goal himself(if he's close to the opposition's goal) or try to drop balls in for our roaming striker Vinet who then either tries to set up an attack for the upcoming players from midfield or tries to create a chance for himself. Of course these tactics can easily change whenever I think is necessary during the season. I'm for example considering using a more progressive 4-3-3 with two wingers, but this might be a bit too dominant for a newly-promoted team.
So how are things standing so far. Well we're three matches in, so it's hard to really tell you. Still, we've already had a couple of ups and downs.
Disappointing were the matches at home against Norwich and Q.P.R. losing 2-0 and drawing 1-1 respectively. On the other hand we had a thrilling 4-3 win against promotion-favorites Reading and a dominant 4-1 victory over Swansea(with a hattrick for Vignet), both away from home.

I can't wait to see what happens when we get to the Premiership. Hopefully the guy that takes over sells all of the players who got us there and then cheats with FM Scout to get a bunch of brilliant 18 year olds.
What is the stadium situation, btw? Capacity, quality of stadium and training facilities, etc.

Bad news I'm afraid, guys. We're going through a bit of a tough spell. Things were going pretty well up until October, when we were up in the first places. But then first playmaker and in-form Merida got injured for a month, while at the same time our topscorer Vinet(9 goals in 10 games) went away to the U-20, where he would pick up a torn hamstring and he's now out for 3 months. That thrown together with a couple of unluckily lost and drawn matches makes for a bad team morale. Now in November we're in 14th place with 5 points behind the playoff-spots. Still fighting for it, but I'm not sure we're going to make it.
