Qualification Week Youth Pull
This week’s youth pull is about as useful on the pitch as the Sesame Street character with the same first name. Elmo Walton has been summarily fired, and will be seeking employment in the children’s television industry.

With over $1 million in the bank, we’re obviously looking at a very busy off-season on the transfer market. Fans can expect to see some improvements in the midfield as well as a new striker wearing SSFC black and red next season.
Team Information
Team Spirit: Irritated (down 2 levels)
Team Confidence: Wonderful (up 1 level)
Sponsor Attitude: High on Life (no change)
Supporter Attitude: Delirious (up 2 levels)

Not that any of this really matters, as these factors will be reset soon during the off-season. I would like to point out, however, that the fourteen supporters who left last week came crawling back, $30 in hand, begging our forgiveness.
Up Next: More off-season news and team awards, as well as the first ever voter-decided Team MVP award. Stay tuned!
