SRL88 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Really enjoyed catching up on this career and the new chapter at Galatasaray. They are a team close to my heart so my choice would be to stay with them. However, as Daz and Raware say, if you don't take the Hoffenhiem job now, you may never get the chance again... But if you take the Hoffeinheim job you might not be able to give Galatasaray their best season ever great career, enjoyed following your progress so far. I say take the Hoffenhiem job. I am weighing up both options and I will make a decision when I get home this evening. At present, I dont have a bloody clue . Keep the advice coming guys.

SRL88 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 So I have turned down the opportunity to manage Hoffenheim. In the end I just couldnt do it. I have been at Galatasaray for less than half a year and I didnt think it was right to leave them in the lurch, even if it was for a club I want to join. I have decided that I will see out the season in Turkey and then make my next decision from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariogriffiths Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Wow Hoffenheim! Gotta go boss, I've got a great save going with Newcastle, but with KK going today it makes me wanna go back to my Liverpool save to save them! If Hoffenheim is your club go for it!

Yeah I really like Hoffenheim, but as you can see it wasnt the right time sadly. Regarding Pompey, following their relegation to the BSS in 2021/22, they spent a few seasons there, finally getting promoted in 2025/26. This was followed by yet another promotion the following season and they have spent the last 2 seasons in League 2. Hope staying pays off. Based off how well we have started I fully expect to go on and win the league. I will be disappointed if we dont. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRL88 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 SRL88's Career - November 2029 - England World Cup Qualifying Play-Off's Without a doubt one of the greatest comebacks in football. We were woeful in the first leg and despite matching Serbia for efforts on goal we were never really in the game. They dominated posession and deserved their win. I honestly dont know what to say about the second leg except wow!!!! A brilliant performance somehow resulted in a 6-0 win as we qualified for the World Cup.

SRL88 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Longstaff Quits England In what is quite possibly one of the biggest shocks in recent history, Steven Longstaff stepped down as the Manger of the England National Football Team today after guiding the nation to the 2030 FIFA World Cup. In one of the greatest comebacks in football history, England came back from a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Serbia and somehow pulled off an amazing 6-0 win to book their place in Italy next year. Following the game Longstaff described the moment as one of his greatest achievements in football, but a mere 24 hours later, having qualified for the World Cup, England find themselves without a Manager heading into the biggest tournament in world football. At a press conference yesterday in London, Steven Longstaff said "despite guiding my home nation to the World Cup next year, I have made my feelings known to The FA that I no longer wish to continue as the Manager of the England National Team". The FA have made their feelings known that they werent pleased with the teams failure to automatically qualify for the World Cup, but having qualified via the Play-Off's they were set allow Longstaff the World Cup to prove he was the man for the job. Longstaff added, "When I resigned as Manager of Liverpool Football Club at the end of last season I said that I wanted to solely focus on one job, but after receiving an offer from Galatasaray and after speaking to my family I realised that I wanted to step back into club management. Now, having qualifed for the World Cup and after facing immense pressure from the fans, the media and also The FA I feel that I am no longer able to continue in my role as England Manager. I feel that I have achieved my original target of qualifying for the World Cup, but that obviously wasnt enough. After acheiving what I have in the game during my managerial career I dont feel that I have anything to prove to anyone, but others clearly feel different. I now want to focus my full attention on the rest of the season in Turkey without any other distractions and I wish whoever my replacement is the best of luck". Following this statement, Longstaff abruptly left the room and left FA Headquaters for the last time as The FA once again start the process of finding a new Manager.

mcotton Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Have just caught up on your thread again, 6 pages of thrilling reading since I last looked! Congratulations with Liverpool, hope they can continue what is now a tradition for them. Interesting move back to Turkey, at least you already have a feel for the footballing atmosphere there from previous experience. Completely agree with your Hoffenheim decision, I think uprooting your family again and moving could have detrimental effect and certainly put a strain on your marriage, not to mention moving kids from schools especially one country to another. You expect loyalty from players, why shouldn't they expect loyalty from you With regards England, you were quite right to speak your mind. Qualification is qualification after all whichever way you look at it. The FA don't deserve your managerial expertise and I feel they may come out with a statement in the near future regretting the way they treated such a bright young manager. Good luck with the rest of the season, I feel you can make GS a dominant force on the European scene. Looking forward to reading much more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRL88 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 SRL88's Career - November 2029 - Galatasaray SK Super Lig Another unbeaten month for us which see's us remain clear at the top of the table. We started with a frustrating draw away from home. I made numerous changes to accomodate for Eurupe and we werent quite at the races. A solid 2-0 home win followed before a very annoying 2-2 draw against bottom of the table Goztepe. We twice went in from against them only to be pegged back. A late penalty gave them a point. A very nice home win rounded off the month in fine fashion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 That took balls to step down from England as you did, but it was a good decision. I think so. As soon as I qualified I got the message from The FA that they werent satisfied with having to go through the Play-Off's. Then I checked the fans view and it was similar. I thought screw this. Great read. Only took me 2hours. It would have taken you longer if I wasnt stupid and deleted all my posts . They will be back up at some point as well ha. A couple of tough job decisions there, but I think it was for the best. I don't think I could leave a club so soon either Still looking great with Galatasaray this season, hopefully the Champions League draw is kind to you! Im hoping that Rangers do us a big favour and hold Bayern to a draw at Ibrox. Then if we win in Belgium we will top the group. If not, then I only want to draw Porto in the Knockout Round ha.

SRL88 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 SRL88's Career - December 2029 - Galatasaray SK Super Lig We enter the winter break in a very comanding position. We managed to fight ourselves to a 3-3 draw against Bucaspor with 10 men which really pleased me. What followed though were two fantastic performances and results. In the two Istanbul Derbies we put in two brilliant displays. An amazing 7-0 win over Besiktas sent us into a big tie against Fenerbahce. Despite falling behind, we didnt allow our heads to drop. We came back to lead 2-1 before being pegged back. However, an injury time goal gave us a massive 3 points as we beat our biggest rivals 3-2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
