Darth Dov Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 A quick update with my board expectations - http://i773.photobucket.com/albums/yy18/darth_dov/ArsenalBilaTserkva.png Apparently my team aren't too good.

thezogsageordie Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Alan Shearer FC Cape Town 10/11 Season Review Aim: 1st Actual: 1st (just!) The main man Transfers Cup performance League table Had Emenike this season who was amazing, was away on loan all last season, really is FC Cape Town's Alan Shearer. Had Black Leopards in the 1st Division Promotion Playoffs and, having lost to them twice in the Cup, being the underdogs on both occasions we cained them 3-1 at home and 2-1 away to seal our place in the Prem! What helped me most was the leading team, Golden Arrows, making 2 points from their last 5 games, together with us winning the last 3 (including a 2-1 steal v Golden Arrows with one of my backup strikers scoring in the 92nd minute!) Haven't been given a lot of money for the new season (Transfer budget - £3,000, Wage budget £5,750) so mid table I will take this year.

Fudger Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Mr. G lets down a nation, and also shames his club Wannabe gangster, turned manager, Ali G, today finished his first season as manager of FC Cape Town, and it looks set to be his last for the club. After falling out with the chairman, G is set to leave the club anytime soon... whether it be by sacking, or resignation, is yet to be known. He took over the club when they were league leaders, and although guiding them on a 14 game unbeaten streak at the start of his time (10 of those being draws), G has found it hard to find form as of late. We managed to catch up with him briefly outside the ground: "Y'Know, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. I've learned some things out here living with the springboks, but to be truthful, I think I need to move on. I'm sure at some point in my career i'll return to South Africa, however, for now, my hearts set someplace else. We'll just have to see what happens I spose." Interesting comments from the manager.

Early this morning, Orlando Pirates announced the sacking of Ruud Krol, and immediately replaced him with none other than Ali G. With media going rife, theres very little we can say on this matter as things are being kept low-key. However, one thing is for sure, Ali G is now boss at one of the top clubs in South Africa, and he is loving every minute of it! The approach Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doiggy_2007 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I'm Stockport manager as well now, I'll put my season 1 update up in tonight. Then write up a half-season update tomorrow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doiggy_2007 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Season 1 Bradford City (December 2009-January 2010) First off, my manager profile, I was approached by Bradford City of League Two, sitting 19th when I took over as I delayed for a week. The squad is pretty solid, so I'm going to emply a 4-2-3-1 formation with the hope of my defence overpowering the opposition's strikeforce. Needless to say, going into my first game I was uneasy about whether or not I would succeed in my question to become the ultimate football gaffer, but I won relatively easily 2-0. My first game. Well, my stay at Bradford was short. I felt it was the wrong place to start my career, and so, after a mere 4 games in charge (1 win, 3 losses), I left. The club, in my opinion, wasn’t going anywhere. Unemployed (January 2010-December 2010) Shortly after this, I did get offered the Maccelsfield job, who evidently saw some potential in me, but needless to say, they were in the same league as my previous employers and actually in an awful position. £30k in the bank, compared to the £1.3m I had with Bradford! So the quest goes on for me. I applied for every job under the sun until I got offered a new job, all the way in December, with the mighty Stockport County. A fallen giant? We’ll soon see. There is half a season to go when I take over, so we’ll see what I can do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll like this I'm Stockport manager as well now, I'll put my season 1 update up in tonight. Then write up a half-season update tomorrow Well played, for this league they're quite a "big club" and this season the board are really backing me to the tune of £210,000 transfer budget and £21,000 wage budget! Leaving over £12k to play with! Hope you get something similiar mate! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainStarbuster Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 End of Season Review 2010/2011 Glen Quagmire has managed nothing with Dunfermline! But to be fair, I was appointed in February with not much time left. I did, however, comfortably escape relegation and finish 5th in the league. I managed to get Celtic as a feeder club, so I hope to get some players on loan over the summer and raid Man City, Liverpool and Arsenals under 18 squads!

MattFergie Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Clyde - Second Division - 19th Dec 09 Table Good Times :') Transfers Main Men: Alan Lithgow Scott Fox Christian Gyan Solid first half of the season, with barely any goals conceded, mainly thanks to the three shown above. The only problem area is up front, where the most prolific striker has 4 in 17 :o. No transfer budget though, and iv'e got as many loans as are allowed, so it looks like the midfield is gonna be called upon again for goals. Extra - Sonwatch A section i'll be including every report, with updates on how my "son" (not actually, although i've heard it is possible ), Charlie Ferguson is getting on. He seems pretty useless, but i'm going to keep him in the team if i can Got 18 in workrate, which is off the screen Charlie Ferguson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is my Personal screen. Loaded Scotland (all leagues) as my extra country. Took me until early February to get a job offer. League 2 club Macclesfield approached me, currently overachieving in 11th place after 29 games (predicted 23rd), after their manager left for Doncaster Rovers. Job Offer Table when took over Ideally I'm looking to push for a play off position with the team doing pretty well at the moment.
