Azeryk` Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 It's just taken me ten minutes to move forward ten days, without me doing anything and without having any matches to play Nice to see you are human after all. Haha, my second sacking. I suppose it was always going to happen at some stage. I brought in much better players than I had last season, I tried different tactics and just could not get a series of wins together Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeryk` Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 Unlucky, where do you think you will go next? Well to finish my challenge I need to stay in South Africa, but as there are only 16 teams in the top league it's not giving me much chance to get a new job which I guess is what makes South Africa so hard.

Thanks, there is one club with the manager listed as very insecure but they won't consider a new manager whilst the current one is clinging on to his job. Currently got the South American U20 Championship to keep me occupied - it's brutal though as there is a match every 2 days and young players lack stamina.

Azeryk` Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Very hard lines on the Cup 'defeat' if that's how you'd look at it!? Sadly I do, it was always going to be between us and Argentina as both of us were smashing in numerous goals against everyone; and the final match was against them and they were just ahead on goal different so I knew only a win would do and it ended 2-2 U20 World Cup is a few months away so hopefully I can get that instead.

Azeryk` Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Am now the manager of SuperSport United, who are currently 12th in the South African Premiership - 1 place below old side Bloem Celtic. The squad seems ok and same as last season I will have the end of this season to see who should stay and who should go before having a proper attempt next season.

Azeryk` Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Season 22 Well I had high hopes, I had made plenty of signings for Bloem Celtic and thought that we would be in the top half at the least. In the end we were 13th and then the board sacked me. I spent most of the season then looking for a job and it was around 5 months before anyone else in the league was sacked. I quickly applied and ended up at SuperSport United and got the job. The team were struggling down in 12th but should have been doing better. I amended the tactics to better suit the other sides and it appeared to have worked as we won most of our matches and rose up to 9th in the table by the time the season ended. I have a few players I could do with getting in the summer but if I can keep my starting 11 and improve on them then I think this could be the team I can do the challenge with. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Not much of an update I know but I spent most of the season looking at the processing bar so it was a tad uneventful. Hopefully next seasons will be much better.

Azeryk` Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 You were never going to be the problem. I think in the end it might have been down to the tactics, I had some good players at Bloem and never got the best out of them. I currently have less-skilled players at SuperSport and with a different formation have done well since taking over in the league last season and so far in pre-season. I would love to chance to try my current formation with Bloems players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeryk` Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 World Cup U20 It sucked, we ended up with so many injuries and suspensions that by the time we reached the Q-Finals against Argentina we only had ONE substitute and even he was 2 days away from recovering from an injury. So we lost in extra time, the players done well considering that they played 120 minutes and we were a man down after a red card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azeryk` Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Am due to gain this chap in the summer after agreeing to sign him for £95K up front and £140k over 4-years. A large fee for this league but he won the league in 2032 and 2033 at Black Leopards and is set to win it this season (2034) for Golden Arrows and as you can see he's the reason they've scored so many. So basically he's a good luck charm Will need to offload over the summer to help balance the finances. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeryk` Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Season 23 It was my first full season at SuperSport United and I was determined to have a better time than when I was at Bloem Celtic. We started the season well and managed to beat some of the tougher sides in the league and then went and lost to the easier sides but overall we managed to get enough wins to propel us up the league. Things got tighter towards the end of the season but we managed to jump from 4th to 2nd on the final day - enough to give me into the African Confederations Cup (whatever that is). Uploaded with ImageShack.us We had two domestic cups this season, the earlier KO cup went well and we reached the S-finals before being knock-out to Sundowns 1-2, the main cup went better where we reached the finals but lost to Kaizer Chiefs 0-1, but we we knocked out Golden Arrows (league champions) and Black Leopards (previous league champions) along the way I was still happy. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Annoyingly after the player I posted above was confirmed as coming to the club he stopped scoring and my existing strikers done better Season Team League Position Achievements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [b]Club:[/b] 2011/12 Boston United English Blue Square North 1st Division Champions 2012/13 Boston United English Blue Square Premier 2nd Lost in Play-Off Finals 2013/14 Boston United English Blue Square Premier 2nd Lost in Play-Off Finals 2014/15 Boston United English Blue Square Premier 1st FA Trophy Winners 2015/16 Burnley English Championship 1st Division Champions 2016/17 Arsenal English Premier League 3rd League Cup Winners 2017/18 Arsenal English Premier League 3rd FA Cup Winners 2018/19 Arsenal English Premier League 2nd Champions League, FA Cup & Community Shield Winners 2019/20 Arsenal English Premier League 1st League, Champions League, World Club Cup & Community Shield Winners 2021 Sao Paulo Brazilian First Division 1st League Champions 2022 Sao Paulo Brazilian First Division 1st League & Copa Libertadores Champions 2023 Sao Paulo Brazilian First Division Copa Libertadores & State Champions 2023/24 Puebla Mexican First Division 5th/7th 2024/25 Puebla Mexican First Division 4th/7th Champions League & Open Season Champions 2025/26 Melbourne Heart Australian A League 4th KO'd in Minor Final 2026/27 Melbourne Heart Australian A League 1st League & Grand Final Winners 2027/28 Melbourne Heart Australian A League 1st League & Grand Final Winners 2028/29 Melbourne Heart Australian A League 1st League & Grand Final Winners 2029/30 Melbourne Heart Australian A League 1st Champions League, League & Grand Final Winners 2030/31 Melbourne Heart Australian A League 1st League & Grand Final Winners 2031/32 Bloemfontein Celtic South African Premiership 13th 2031/32 Bloemfontein Celtic South African Premiership 13th Sacked after 10 games 2032/33 SuperSport United South African Premiership 9th 2033/34 SuperSport United South African Premiership 2nd Cup Runners-Up Am hoping to do even better next season, I've managed to retain all of my players and poach the leagues top scorer which at least will weaken Golden Arrows, I think that if I can get a new DL, MC and AMC that we can challenge for the title.
