Maw74 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Season 12 - 2025/2026 >>> Click Here For Full Match Results <<< Much the same story as previous seasons so far, disappointed with the 2 draws in the Europa League. I was fuming about the Hull defeat but obivously very happy we beat Arsenal and the pain that is André Mendes, he has been awesome against us even though my scout has doubts about him. He looks very good to me. and not a bad career so far either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kidshiva1984 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 This has been one hell of a career up to now, taking in some places that you could have built a dynasty. However,it was inevitable that the day would come the King would return to his throne! Shame that the board are not rewarding your consistency, by forcing the issue of trying to win the league.

He got/had the cold during the time he was out for the 3 month injury, that's why the laugh. He was out anyway so it wasn't a big deal.

However,it was inevitable that the day would come the King would return to his throne!Shame that the board are not rewarding your consistency, by forcing the issue of trying to win the league. Good luck! Thanks, some of the moves were quick, there are a couple of clubs I could have made possible returns to, I would fancy doing that, but it was just a bit too soon and not wanting to quit Spurs for them either. I don't think it will be long before King is at a new club, but who knows? Yeah those expectation were a shock really, top 4 would have been a fair enough target to ask but to jump from where we have been finishing to a title challenge is massive, especially when the club wasn't doing a lot worse with previous managers. Talking of a title challenge, what would you guys consider to pass as a title challenge? final position? points behind champions? being in top 2 during season? I have completed the season and will get the update up a bit later tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maw74 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Argentina win World Cup! The aftermath of the World Cup has thrown up some interesting job vacancies. German Champions FC Bayern lost their manager (He's Spanish) to Spain. Dortmund's manager left them to manage his nation Germany. Leverkusen lost their manager to Juventus after the Juve manager left for the Italy job. PSG's manager is now the manager of his home nation (France). This is terrible timing for me, I would love to manage Dortmund, Leverkusen would be interesting. The PSG job also has big appeal, even job at Bayern interests me at the moment. Damn it, these things happen at the wrong times for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maw74 Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Season 13 - 2026/2027 This is how the Champions League went............ A tough group proved to be easy as we had qualified after 4 games. The only game we didn't win was a 4-4 draw with Sparta Prague in game five. We played Vitesse in the first knockout round, we beat them 5-4 away and then 5-1 at home for a 10-5 aggregate win, that set up a tie against PSG. and this is how it ended for us............ Agony, the two legs were a complete contrast and it came down to a spot kick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feared the worst after they cancelled out our away goal so quickly after we had got ourselves right back in it, the penalty was given away by the sub CB after Van Dijk was injured. Sparta Prague made the 2nd knockout round, they beat Celtic 4-2 (3-1 Home & 1-1 Away) and then lost 0-4 to Schalke (0-3 Away & 0-1 at Home). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maw74 Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Season 13 - 2026/2027 >>> Click Here For Full Match Results <<< We couldn't build on last season and it's back to the Europa League after a 6th place finish. We started the season well and it looked like we might have been title contenders but we slowly slipped away and Man Utd were actually flying at the top and were never challenged as they won the title for a third year in a row. Fierro takes Fans Award for second year in a row. Lawson > Messi Best XI (Season) Best XI (Overall) A bit of a mess for England, maybe I'm a little bit to blame. When Villas-Boas was sacked I applied but Arsenal manager Rudi Garcia was appointed. I noticed his job was insecure at the end of the season as England had lost to Turkey in the Nations League Semi-Finals so I declared an interest, the FA then chose to appoint the PSG manager, a little while later I noticed that his job was insecure despite the fact that England hadn't even played under him so again I declared my interest and days later he was sacked. Yet again though the FA picked another foreign manager, this time it was Man City's Allegri. Villas-Boas is now Arsenal Manager, it's his 4th English club after spells at Chelsea, Tottenham & Man Utd. Also during this time and despite signing that contract extension during the season I decided to There were a number of interesting jobs floating around, Benfica were looking for a new manager after losing their previous manager to Man Utd after Mourinho retired, they offered a contract and after some delays I decided to pass and see what else would come along, also passed up the chance to go to Argentina with Argentinos Juniors, it was tempting as I have never managed there before. I applied for the Wellington Phoenix job as it would be good to go back to Australia and take the Aussies on with the team from New Zealand, now this was rather silly as they laughed off my interest only to actually come to me with a job offer just a few days later, I decided against it anyway, so who's laughing now. During this time all the England stuff was ongoing and I applied for the PSG job after their manager took over at England, I was overlooked as they appointed Diego Simeone thus ending his eleven year reign at Chelsea. I didn't apply for the Chelsea job and they went for Frank De Boer, that left Everton looking for a manager. They came to me with an offer but I turned it down, it was gonna have to be a really big job to stay in England, not really any point taking Everton job after deciding to leave Spurs, anyway the Man City job was now available after Allegri was appointed England manager, yes I applied and more news will follow. Sorry but these expectations seem to be a joke, title challenge but no transfer budget? Expectation has been title challenge in the previous two seasons and we finished 4th & 6th.

That opened up another vacancy at a club I wanted to manage. King was favourite so another application and................. Bundesliga History Dortmund's Season So Far. So finally at a new club after several applications, a lot of thinking time with delayed decisions and thanks to the manager merry-go-round earlier decisions to turn offers down proved justified as King is now at a great club and looking for to big battles with FC Bayern and that will start straight away as they are the next opponents and it comes just a day after getting the job..
