acidmonkey Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 Season Review 2015 USA - LA Galaxy A pretty poor season considering but it obviously wasnt helped by me wanting out straight way after i won the CONCAF trophy, and wanting to head to Europe for a crack at the Europa Lge or Champions League, but Designated player signing of Shaun Wright-Phillips and a few other signings saw me get as far as the play-offs, but overall it was disappointing. Open Cup Semi finalists of that pretty much summed up my season unfortunatly, team was playing poorly and i just felt a bit lost in how to perk them up as i knew i wast going to be around next season. A 1-0 win away at Charlston, was followed by a 3-3 in the Quaterfinals to DC United, however i won through on pens, before losing 2-1 to Houston in the Semis, World Club Cup my suprise as the first team i managed in the competition would face my current side as i took on Al-Ahly in the second round tie, and my star signing back then came back to Haunt me as Motaeb scored followed up by a goal from Said saw me crash to the 5th placed play-off, I did restore some pride after beating AS Douanes 1-0 winner from Magee And then afterwards it was on to pastures new.............

With that kind of financial backing you must surely be able to do something during your time at Windsor Park. 4 clubs/countries in 8 years (starting in Egypt)...are you Alan Whicker? nope i just want the Air miles so i can sun myself in barbados in my retirement the war chest sounds great, but no one of any brilliance wants to come so looks like im scouting for younger players, also decided im not doing a season update for last season, Linfield finished 1st but none of it was down to me as when i joined in jan they already had a sizeable lead. ive also been REALLY luck when it comes to re building the squad as most of the players are out of contract, hung onto Mulgrew, Mutch, Lavery and Miskimmim as these were the only ones with longer deals than this year, so im building the team out of what i feel are quality under 25 year olds so i can try and get a decent european shot going, Lavery is wanted by Bolton so im hoping to hang onto them, ill post the final squad (as links to pics) so that you can give verdicts on the money ive spent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidmonkey Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 Season Review 2016-17 N.Ireland - Linfield Carling Premiership well theres not much i can say about it to be honest i breezed the league the warchest helped me buy players of the quality to walk over the league, wonder how many league seasons i can go unbeaten. I was VERY suprised when i won the league with 10 games to spare, as no one put up a challenge to me as they all took points off each other, my sturdy defence of Ney and Morrison in front of North conceeded only 18 league goals all season whilst Roguljic scored 26 goals in 21 League appearences alongside Lavery who notched 18 goals in 21 appearences. Cup Competitions Ok theres ALOT more of these than i expected Champions League 2nd Qual Phase (champions) Mika 1-1 Linfield Linfield 0-0 Mika (Qualified Curtusy of Away goal rule) 3rd Qual Phase (Champions) Hadjuk 0-0 Linfield Linfield 3-4 Hadjuk Europa League 4th Qual Rnd Nice 3-1 Linfield Linfield 0-0 Nice And here endeth my European adventure Domestic Cups So all in all a good season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidmonkey Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 Season Review 2017-18 N.Ireland - Linfield Carling Premiership Well i finally sucumbed to my first league defeat As Linfield boss, losing 1-0 to a 88th min penalty away at Lisburn Distillery, but that was well after id won the league game, this time sealing the title on the 21st of FEBUARY!, didnt score as many as last year with players being wanted by other clubs but im holding off nicely at the mo tempted to cash in on some players as they didnt do as well as i had hoped this year especially the defenders and keeper just didnt feel as solid again Roglijuc and Lavery were my stars notching 80 goals between them in all competitions, and with bolton sniffing round Lavery i doubt ill eb able to hang onto him Domestic Cups As you can see a clean sweep of all the pots in domestic ireland, with the all ireland shielf being a bit more of a battle this year but a breeze in the domestic trophies Champions League I was just so happy to get there this year i was just going to treat it as a learnign curve and money maker then the group was drawn and i didnt stand a chance, having one of madrid or liverpool is bad enough but BOTH? and Hamburg, goingt o prey i make it next year and get an easier group im happy with my first group stage point too, and the fact we ran madrid and Liverpool close twice at one point it was 3-3 at home to madrid but im very unhappy with the HSV results Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidmonkey Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Been looking at my squad and these are my conclusions - I need to trim it down to a 25 man squad to make it easier to manage - i need a better DMC and a few other positions (listed below) - i lack depth up front - in nets we have a league 2 rated keeper IMO so these players will be leaving in the summer: Dodd Nash McGinley Conti Dennehy Gatti Hannah Benson Woods Gatti And i want to sign: 1x GK - has to be at least Championship standard imo, ideally a premiership goalie 2x DC - One needs to be good enough to be first choice as i need a quality centre back , the other will be his back up 1x LW - Left winger to cover Aguirre ideally with much more pace to give me a second option in games 1x MC - a Defensive Midfielder needs to be able to break up attack by the other sides. 1x FC - a striker who is going to be good enough to come in and score goals if Lavery is crocked Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidmonkey Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 Season Review 2018-19 N.Ireland - Linfield Carling Premiership Transfers: Postive spend helps the balance, few are Irish for Euro squads, League: The league wasnt as impressive as previous years but i figured id walk the league again so i went the route of resting players in favour of europe, as Rogulijic continued to run riot in the league, but Lavery decided he wanted out and accepted a bid from West Brom from the summer so i need to find a main striker as im begining to think this will be my last crack as the lack of progress, makes me want to consider leaving. Domestic Cups: Domestic cups were all mine again this year 3 years on the bounce ive done the quad in Northern Ireland, was a shock as struggled in the Irish cup and got forced into a replay. Europe: Well didnt have much choice with going out of the Champions league at least i made the Europa league, and i when quite far in the europa, and was relativly unlucky v galatasary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raware Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 So no plans on doing a 'Nep' then and trying to find a youth product to dominate the N.I. league? I think you've probably gone as far as you can with Linfield so a move somewhere else would probably be best...unless you want to make a record for most trophies won at one club! So, out of interest, have you taken each club you've been at to total domination (obviously apart from the CL)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidmonkey Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 so far yea ive gone for a clean sweep at least once only exception is in Egypt where i was fed up of the quality of regens in africa so left after winning everything bar, the super cup (which i came second in) ive kicked off another season so this will decide what my futre will be: poor showing in europe im looking to move to Bohemians or St. PAts in the republic of ireland for a year (want a clean sweep of all the trophies i can get before awaiting a job offer from Shakhtar as ive always had fun in the ukraine for some reason ive won the Champions league with shakhtar in FM09 so id stay in the ukraine till i won it twice, with the plan of looking towards italy, before begining the two dynasties, a 10 year spell at Real MAdrid before leaving and playing till im fed up at my hometown team sunderland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
