blowcrapup Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 2007/08 Update I got the Dinamo Buc. job right at the start of the season. I started off by straight away winning the Supercup in a fine display. After this I went 10 games before finally losing. Throughout the season I had varying form but won most of my games. In Europe I went out in the qualifying rounds. I also went out at the first hurdle in the Cup. After the 11th game of the season I was top where I would remain for the rest of the season. I won the league with a game to spare and ended up 7 points clear at the top of the table.

Dnipro are 4th, we have dropped too many points in wasteful draws! Whats worse though, is i now have 2 strikers with broken legs, Sergey Samodin is now my only first team striker. i suppose its a good thing that i tend to play with one up front. Europe has been more sucessful though, got through to the UEFA cup group. My group will be tough, but im here for the experience more than anything....

blowcrapup Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I'm going to be leaving Dinamo Buc. in the summer as most of my top players are leaving and I crashed out of the Cup and Champions League again. Sitting 3 points clear at the top just after the mid season point. How is everyone else doing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanefc Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 My luck with strikers is now bordering on ridiculous! two have broken legs, and now my last striker is out for 3 months with a hip injury! Ruslan Rotan has been doing ok as a stand in striker, and has scored some very important goals. but he is still a player playing out of position. Currently at the winter break here in Ukraine, we are 4th in the league. its a lack of goals (or is it a lack of strikers to score the goals?) that has contributed to a very average season, we are only the 8th highest scorers in the league. our 24 goals in 18 games is awful when you compare it to Dinamo Kiev who have scored 50 in 18 games! Its all the more frustrating, as we were able to beat Kiev one nil away, and were very unlucky to lose our home game by the same score. Over both games, i think we have been the better team by a good margin, yet they have been able to consistantly beat the weak/midtable teams without fail. This is where my Dnipro side have fallen down, silly points dropped against average sides. The aim for the 2nd half of the season is to push the top teams as hard as possible, although i think we are too far behind to challenge for the title even if we win all 12 remaining games. I think the current team is good enough to challenge next season, but we really need better luck with injurys. Our first choice striker has only been fit for 4 league games this season, in which he managed 3 goals; if he had not had his leg broken then maybe we would be in with a shout of the championship. Im hoping he will be fit by the end of the winter break, but i will be signing strikers anyway i think! Our european campaign has gone much better, after that excelent win over Benfica, we were unlucky to go down 2-1 away at Fenerbahce. Next came Twente at home, we were 3-0 up in the game, but almost threw it away at the death, luckly it ended 3-2 to us! The 4th match, away at Monaco was a bit of a no contest, with a midfielder upfront we hardly had a shot on goal, and lost 2-0. Just soundly beaten by a better team. After that preformance i think my players need their mid season break! So after all we finished 2nd in the group, so through to the last 32! The draw for the last 32 gave us Palermo!!! Has to go down as a tough draw, but who knows, i will try and add quality in january, and maybe we can put in a preformance similar to the Benfica game!

blowcrapup Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 2008/09 Update I decided to stick with Dinamo Buc, partly because I wanted to win the Cup as well but also because no top jobs became available. Started off on the right foot as we won the Supercup again. Performed well in the league until the last several games when our form started to stutter but we came out on top. On the Cup front we went out to main rivals in the 4th round. In the Champions League we did badly. Getting drawn in a group with Barcelona, PSV and Bordeaux finishing anywhere but bottom was near impossible.

seanefc Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 Dnipro 2008/09 - 4th Finished 4th in the end with Dnipro as expected after a poor first half of the season, lost in the UEFA cup 1st knockout round to Palermo, beat them 1-0 at home, but went down 4-0 in Italy with Amauri running the show! My first choice striker Ionut Mazuli did recover from his broken leg to play all but two of our matches after the winter break, proved his worth by scoring 10 goals in 10 league games. Cant help thinking what could have been if he'd been fit all season. Our goal scoring was helped by a move to 4-4-2 following the winter break , and also the signing of Israel international striker Itay Shechter who pitched in with 8 goals in 12 games. Looking back, any championship challenge was lost early on, dropping silly points to poor teams, and also by not really capitalising after dominating the matches against Shakhtar and Dinamo. Very unsure as to my future at the club now, the chairman has just sold Sergiy Nazarenko to Shakhtar, for 6.5m. while that isnt a terrible price, it leaves me one Ukrainian player short, in a league where there must be atleast 4 Ukrainian players on the pitch at any one time. The sale is made all the worse by the fact that the club just dont need the money. Also, i was originaly given 70% of the transfer fee to add to my budget, increasing it to a pretty decent 9.6m... but when the time came for the board to ask my expectations for the coming season, they slashed the budget to 4.5m - despite me aiming to win the league! If i stay at Dnipro i can see a very long season of players wanting to leave right left and centre! Jimenez, Ferreyra, Gomez, Mendoza & Mazilu have all been the subject of bids and enquirys... its only a matter of time before my genious chairman decides to sell Jimenez for 8 million or something. Dnipro just cannot attract or afford a replacement of the same quality! Simple fact is, the current XI can challenge for the league this coming season (assuming no more broken legs!), however if the board decide to ofload anyone... we wont have a chance, the replacements just arent there!

We won 1 - 0 away but they came to us when we were in poor form, and won 2 - 0 with a dubious penalty and an offside goal...

seanefc Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 Desided to resign from Dnipro in the end after my chairman went and sold my No.1 striker Ionut Mazilu. They expect me to win the league, but sell two of my best players in pre season, two players which i really cannot attract suitable replacements for. I think this is only the tip of the iceburg aswell, Jimenez, Ferreyra, Gomez and Mendoza could all well be on their way out sooner rather than later. Half the squad wants to move to bigger clubs, and there is no shortage of offers! So Ukraine has to go down as a failier! Cannot work under these conditions!!!

Lost in the Supercup as well. The league was a challenge with a massive running battle with Inter going on throughout the season with it coming down to the last game of the season. With me requiring Inter to lose due to their vastly supior Goal Difference I stood little chance. Inter won and I drew meaning for the first time in my career I hadn't won a league. I managed to get a saving grace though as I won the Cup - my first ever National Cup victory. Transfers No major departures but brought in Barcelona's Igao on a free and Messi for £38m (had to buy out contract) Career 2011/12 - AC Milan - Serie A - 2nd 2010/11 - AC Milan - Serie A - 1st 2009/10 - Shakhtar Donetsk - Vyscha Liha 1st 2008/09 - Dinamo Bucharest - Liga 1 1st. 2007/08 - Dinamo Bucharest - Liga 1 1st.

I'm not bothering with screenshots anymore. Have started playing next season as Milan and have also been named England boss. I'm enjoying more than I thought in Italy and I have set myself the challenge of breaking Inter's hold on the league by winning back to back titles before I move on.

Blanco Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Robbie Fowler's fledgeling managerial career continues... The league started badly, (by Benfica standards), drawing away at Porto (who can't even get third any more!) and losing against Nacional da Madeira in my fifth game. Didn't lose a game after that, and went on a winning run of 20 games that pretty much guaranteed me the title... Won it with one game to spare - Sporting pushed me all the way, but I won 1 - 0 in the last minute to clinch the title in front of my own fans. Beat Porto in the League Cup final, and Braga, who finished third, in the Cup Final. Also won the Super Cup at the beginning of the season, beating some rubbish team who had somehow won the cup the previous year... Pretty good season then, but I'm getting itchy feet already. Am about to resign, but have no idea of my next destination Career: 07/08: Dinamo Bucharest 08/09: Dinamo Bucharest 09/10: Olympique Lyonnais 10/11: Benfica 11/12: ???

Blanco Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Thought that this needed a bit of bumping.... Anyway, am in March 2012 with Juve now, spent horrendous amounts of money, but my first team looks pretty sick now... Am seven points clear at the top of Serie A so far, with 12 games to go. Went out of the Italian Cup to Chievo, which was pretty embarassing... I won 3 - 1 away, so played my reserves at home and ended up losing 4 - 2 aet, going out on away goals. Still in the UEFA, got my 1st leg of the 3rd Knockout Round vs Palermo just coming up. What do you think about the first team??? GK: Buffon DL: Chiellini DC: Criscito DC: Skrtel DR: Diogo MC: Mikel MC: Banega AMR: dos Santos AML: Guardado AMC: Kaka FC: Aguero Subs include Ilsinho, Hutton, Armand Traore, d'Alessandro, Amauri, Kuranyi, Andrade, Sissoko...
