SRL88 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 I couldn't touch Sunderland with a barge-pole. Wouldn't have a problem managing Middlesbrough though, except for them being a bit of a rubbish club with not many fans. Middlesbrough trying to be rivals with us would be a bit like Gateshead attempting to create a rivalry - laughable and a little bit pathetic. Why the game even links me with such jobs when Liverpool are listed as my favourite club is a tad silly. On topic, not surprised you got a bit bored of Boca (a little bit off the pace of the thread, I admit), I think if I manage in South America again I'll do it before I have a big rep, it seems a bit too easy to build and retain an excellent squad - I was anticipating having players sold under my nose left right and centre, but it just didn't happen. I found it pretty easy in most cases. I got a few big offers for my best players, but I didnt have the Chairman going behind my back & selling at all, and when the takeover happened the club are financially secure and dont really have to worry about selling.

SRL88 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 SRL88's Career - November 2036 - Borussia Monchengladbach Bundesliga An absolutely unbelievable month for us as we move in on top spot in the Bundesliga heading into December. We had to come from 2-1 down against Freiburg to grab a late equiliser. We struggled against Koln as we were dominated at home for the very first time, but we managed to battle our way to a 2-1 win. Things just got better from their though as we we put in a classic disciplined performance to grab a massive 1-0 win. The game against Bayern was nothing short of magical. We bossed the game throughout and deserved the win, even taking the lead in the game. Despite our domination, not only did Bayern level things up, but in the second half they grabbed two quick goals to make it 3-1. We regathered ourselves though and pulled a goal back through an own goal. Two late headers from our centre halves made it 3-3, and then gave us the lead as we grabbed a memorable 4-3 win.

noikeee Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Very good run at the moment with Gladbach, it's a little early to judge whether it's the team starting to gel properly hence able to have a go at the title, or just momentary good form, but keep pushing. About managing rivals, I've never done it and would obviously prefer Porto to Benfica and Sporting, but I'm actually keen on trying to manage them one day, just to see how it feels. When the offer comes in my current career I'll consider it. It already did as a Sporting offer did arrive but not at the right time as I was in Italy and it would've been a step back.

SRL88 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 SRL88's Career - December 2036 - Borussia Monchengladbach Bundesliga Another cracking month in a run of tough fixtures which ensures that we go into Christmas top of the Bundesliga. We started with a very hard fought 2-2 draw away to Wolfsburg before a goal fest at home to Bremen. We took the lead twice in the game before being pegged back, but once we got the third goal we didnt look back, adding a fourth and fifth in quick succession to claim all three points. I half expected a tougher game against Hoffenheim having been on a decent run of form since appointing ter Stegan as their Manager, but with us inspired by Northern Irishman McCallister we tore them apart. A cracking 3-1 win leaves us sat nicely at the top of the table. DFB Pokal 3rd Round A very solid win over the Third Division side who caused us a few problems. The win sets up a tie against Dortmund in the Quater Final. I honestly believe we can win this competition with who is left in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 SRL88's Career - January 2037 - Borussia Monchengladbach Bundesliga Well what a great way to get back into the swing of things after the winter break eh?!?! These two games typically showed our inability to be able to hang onto a lead. We led 2-0 away to Frankfurt but just completely shut down in the second half, conceding three stupid goals to hand our opponents victory. Against Hannover we once again took the lead only to be pegged back to leave a sour taste in my mouth. Our next to fixtures are Leverkusen (a) and Schalke (h), oh joy!! You can tell January put me in a happy mood cant you!!! DFB Pokal Quater-Final A cracking win in the Quater-Final for us against a strong Dortmund team. We have the easiest possible passage to the Final as we face second division Aachen in the Semi-Final with the other tie between Bochum & Schalke.

SRL88 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Transfers - In/Out A few deals done in both directions during January. I splashed the cash a bit to strengthen in the hope that it would help us continue our push at the top of the table. The outgoings resulted in two loan deals, one with the hope of it becomming a perminant deal at the end, and the other to gain experience. I also sold a 31yo Benali for a reasonable £2.8m. My laptop is being a right cow bag so I am unable to link these like I usually would at present which is why screenshots are being provided. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikal Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Christofi looks a good player. Mentals lacking slightly, but you'd hope they'll improve over time. Do you plan on using any of them in your first team straight away? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you plan on using any of them in your first team straight away? Christofi will most likely go straight into the first team. If you look, he is a Cypriot who I have is my main centre half, and I also have Dimitris Efthymiou who is also in my Cyprus squad. Could be great development for them as a pair for Cyprus .

SRL88 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 SRL88's Career - February 2037 - Borussia Monchengladbach Bundesliga Well we have been struggling since the Christmas break. The game against Leverkusen at the time was between 2nd and 3rd and was a typical top of the table clash, tense and tight with very few chances. There were very few clear cut chances and 0-0 was a fair result. We were shocking against Schalke in the first half, fully deserving to go in at the break behind. We were better in the second half but by no means deserved anything as we went down 1-0. Due to our confidence dropping we struggled against Bochum and had to score a last minute goal to give us a point. After the game I held a team meeting to get some fire going in the side again. It worked against Kairserslautern but it wasnt easy. We fell behind but came back, and an injury time own goal gave us a massive three points.

SRL88 Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 SRL88's Career - March 2037 - Borussia Monchengladbach Bundesliga A bloody cracking month for us as we pulled ourselves right back into contention for the league following a stinking start to the year. We started with a cracking win over struggling HSV to give us a huge boost in confidence. We went to Duisburg in our next game and struggled, but managed to scrape our way to a 1-0 win. A very solid performance resulted in a solid win for us over Mainz before we went to Aue in our final game of the month and scored a comfortable victory. DFB Pokal Semi-Final Yes!!!!
