kris0710 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Sestao River Club Spanish Second Division B2 October First game came on the day I took charge so stuck with tactics they have been using and let the assistant pick the team. Already the squad size is an issue. 17 players only with three being keepers. One player is out for 2 months leaving me with just 13 outfield players until the transfer window opens. Spending £2.8k pw over wage budget so the board are not allowing me to bring anyone in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see that they're fierce rivals of yours Given the way we are giving points away at the moment I don't think we are rivals with anyone, they must love us.

kris0710 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Sestao River Club Spanish Second Division B2 November What a month it has been. First up the players. I have lost 9 players this month to injury or suspension during the four games and during the final two games of the month I had to field 7 'grey' players. It was certainly a challenge. The results were clearly poor but it is nothing more than I expected to be honest. Shock Resignation That's right, I have packed up my desk and walked. Following the draw at the end of the month I was called to the boardroom to discuss performances, after just five games. After trying to turn on the charm I was told to get 10 points from 5 games. For me, impossible. So rather risk the sack and another dead thread I left on my own terms. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris0710 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Job Interview #1 An interview in December but unsurprisingly I was turned away. Job Interview #2 Had to wait for March to dust off the shirt and tie, once again it was for nothing though. Job Interview #3 Here we are in May and a third club throw me some hope. Awaiting the results of this interview. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullem Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 That's a shame although to be honest they look a bit dead and buried! Stick at it with applying, I know FM 14 is a lot harder than previous versions of the game, in terms of ease of getting jobs but don't give up!

kris0710 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Ac. Viseu Portuguese Second League 2014/15 August An up and down start to the season but that is exactly what was expected. With the wholesale changes during the summer it is going to take time for things to click. A fantastic win at Varzim saw the goal come from a short corner routine leading to Luis Pedro scoring after the ball rebounded off ball. Two defeats followed with Uniao Madeira running the show after the break scoring twice and creating 16 chances. It was a much more even opening 45 minutes with striker Pedro levelling just before the break. A trip to Fafe saw us fail to again create to many chances. Main striker Joao Tomas has yet to feature due to injury and we are certainly missing his presence. A goal in each half with winger da Silva running the show saw off Chaves then the month ended with defeat to Vit. Guimaraes who were relegated from the PL last season with Arouca. Portuguese League Cup After the best of starts in the cup we tailed off quickly to miss out on advancing past the group stage. A positive is we were competitive and did better than the club did last season in the tournament. Can't be too disappointed as I stated this cup was being used as an extension of pre season.

kris0710 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Ac. Viseu Portuguese Second League 2014/15 September A much better month and we were within 28 seconds of having an extra two points on the board. September kicked off with a second half comeback at Atletico CP with winger da Silva again putting in a great performance. That was followed with defeat at Tondela who were the better side on the day, no complaints at all. Hosting the Benfica B team saw us come from behind twice to lead 3-2 going into stoppage time but a dangerous cross from the right was diverted into his own goal by defender Pereira. Overall a point was deserved from both sides it is just frustrating being so close to the win. Another good away win ended the month with a back post header from Fausto and a volley form striker Pedro sealing the points. Taca de Portugal 2nd Round Certainly wasn't the best of shows against the lower league opposition but it was good enough to put us into the 3rd Round. Awaiting us is a trip to another lower league side, Pampilhosa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
