dafuge Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 Nice going Dafuge. Are you going to look to go abroad early or will you stay in the UK to get a good rep and then go abroad? I think I'll stay in this county for a while, moving abroad is something I want to do later on once I've worked my way up through a few English clubs first. Unless a great offer comes in of course...

He's been one of a number of players fighting for the second DC spot, he's done pretty well. He may well be one to make way should I bring in new players for the BSP though.

SwiftyBlade Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 daf:) been having a flick through this and I like what you've done, funny thing is, a day or two after you first posted this, I started unemployed and after 10 games Havant and Waterlooville were bottom! And the job became avaible, then it became mine. In second season now, avoided relegation on last game of season and lounging around 8th after 10 games this season. Looking to build and go for promotion or play offs next season! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 Havant & Waterlooville - Blue Square Bet Premier League - 2013/14 With a dominant league win last season and a great squad we entered the BSP full of confidence. League Table League Positions Graph We ripped it up as our opponents just couldn't cope with our attacking quality. FA Cup - once again we had a great run which ended at the hand of a Championship team. FA Trophy - with a bigger squad I decided to really go for it, which ended with a dominant win in the final. Squad - this is the biggest squad I've ever had as I couldn't help but add new players as we got injuries. This lot are easily good enough for League 2. Transfers - more players were sold for decent money and replaced by quality free transfers. Key Player Profiles Lauri Dalla Valle - my new superstar striker. John Hansen - probably the best player in this team, far too good for this league. Dani Sanchez - the man that changed our fortunes. Andy Bradford - not bad for a second choice winger. Kudus Oyenuga - he's still managed to keep his place in the team. Career Overview Season Team Country League League Finish Achievements ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2010/11 Havant & W England Blue Square Bet South 8th Took over in October 2011/12 Havant & W England Blue Square Bet South 3rd Lost in playoffs, FA Trophy finalists 2012/13 Havant & W England Blue Square Bet South 1st Promoted as champions 2013/14 Havant & W England Blue Square Bet Premier 1st Promoted as champions, FA Trophy winners Next Season I really think this club can push forward and do well in League 2 but I really think my work here is done. I've held off signing a new contract in the hope that my achievements would get me noticed by other clubs but as yet I've not had one single offer. I don't really want to quit, but I'd like a new challenge for next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyCurrie Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Excellent season. Dani Sanchez certainly looks like a useful creator. I suppose it's hard to move on when you feel you could easily take them up again next season. Great career so far! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 The annoying thing is that I have only ever been signing one year contracts, so there have been opportunities for another club to snap me up on the cheap that have not been taken.

GioGio85 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I think you physically have to leave the club you are at for other teams to consider you...unless you apply for job (which obviously may upset your board). Logically doesnt make sense really , but I guess there are a lot of other available managers out there who are unattached. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
