Raware Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Not sure which Spurs offer you are talking about to be fair . I have absolutley no idea why I wrote Spurs! Think I'm still in holiday mode. Obviously I meant Hoffenheim, you should've known that :D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.W.G Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Tough loss to Bayern in the league but your still in with a shout.Hopefully you can beat Copenhagen to move onto the next round in the CL.If Hoffenheim is one of the teams you want to manage then I'd say go for it,there is nothing better then achieving success with one of your favoured teams.

SRL88 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 So I decided to reject the Hoffenheim job and immediately asked for a new contract which the Chairman was delighted to offer me. I am enjoying my time at Gladbach and I dont think I am anywhere near done yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noikeee Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Looking good on the Europe front to qualify, in the league the loss to Bayern could prove costly but you're still well within the fight. I sense your side still is a cut just below the very top but a good run in the 2nd half of the season or some reinforcements in the following seasons, and you'll get that Bundesliga trophy and/or a run deep into the Champions League. Anyway Gladbach is already a lot stronger with you than it has been for decades. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you that we arent on the level of Bayern & Bayer to compete all season long. They are massive clubs in this division and as shown, Bayern have dominated the league since I started this save. Its going to be very difficult for me to topple one of them, nevermind both, but we are building towards that long term and maybe in another season or two we might get there. My first aim however is to finish second so that we can avoid the Champions League Play-Off's. I am sensing that I could be at Gladbach for a similar length of time to Liverpool.

Dexter_Morgan Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Surprised you didn't take the Hoffenheim job That said seeing as you aren't ready to topple Bayern yet after a few seasons in Gladbach it is for the best you stay there because you'd just be going backwards without even finishing the job.

tomtuck01 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Still going along well - only four points behind in the league, and just about there in the Champions League with what should be a routine game to come.

SRL88 Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 SRL88's Career - December 2038 - Borussia Monchengladbach Bundesliga A very good month for us as result eslewhere help us out, but also due to the fact that we remained unbeaten. We were very poor against Schalke and were dominated for the whole 90 minutes to be honest, but a second half goal from Popa was enough to give us all three points. A top of the league encounter against Leverkusen was very boring indeed, but despite the fact that Leverkusen took the lead, we came back and grabbed a goal to give us a point. We rounded off 2038 in style as we destroyed high flying Bochum 5-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRL88 Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 December 2038 - Continued DFB Pokal 3rd Round A cracking win for us against Frankfurt. Despite the fact that it took extra-time, this was a brillaint 2-1 win. This brilliant win set up a game at home to Kaiserslautern in the Quater-Final. Champions League As expected, we comprehensively beat Copenhagen to make it to the Knockout Rounds of the Champions League for the second year in a row. Of course a Fiorentina/Ateltico draw made it look better but I am still pleased. We bossed the game to book a tough tie, as expected, against Man Utd in the First Knockout Round.

SRL88 Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 SRL88's Career - January 2039 - Borussia Monchengladbach Bundesliga A brilliant way to get back into things after the winter break. We played Hannover off the park with our slow, controlled play and just worked our way into the box all game long. We smashed four past them to complete a very comfortable win. We followed this up with a fine performance away to Mainz as Xaba & Lima picked up the goals to give us a solid 2-0 win. DFB Pokal Quater-Final A superb performance against Kaiserslautern as we made them wish they didnt even bother turning up. We completely embarrassed them and they just didnt stand a chance. The win set up a tough tie away to Dortmund in the Semi-Final. Transfers - InNicolas St-Louis - £19.75m - A class act of a winger who will add a lot of class to our side. Maarten Ploeger - £4.1m - Transfer listed at Man City so I thought thank you very much. With Vorel ageing and his contract up at the end of the season, Ploeger is a ready made replacement. A debut goal didnt do any harm either. Patrik Hlousek - £2.2m - We beat Real Madrid to his signature and every single one of our coaches gives him a 5* potential.

SRL88 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 SRL88's Career - February 2039 - Borussia Monchengladbach Bundesliga A very solid month which was ruined by one result. We kicked off the month with a superb 6-1 win over Freiburg. We took the lead in the game and they pulled level, and that just kicked us into gear as we went on a rampage. This was followed up by a fine win away to Frankfurt before we battled to victory against Hoffenheim. We took the lead but Hoffenheim came back at us to give them a 2-1 lead at the interval. The second half brought about a brilliant comeback as we scored 3 goals in the space of 20 minutes with substitute Geoff McAllister grabbing a hat-trick from the bench. The result against Cottbus ruined our month as despite our domination, which resulted in 16 attempts at goal in the opening half hour. We then had a man sent off before Cottbus opened the scoring. Luckily, Lapa grabbed us a point with a fantastic free-kick. Champions League First Knockout Round 1st Leg A brilliant win over the Mancs to give us a great opportunity of progressing. We absolutely dominated Man Utd in this tie to grab a fantastic 2-0 win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
