TheGreatTraveler Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 You did say they finished second, so you will have Champions League. And you have room to manouver wage wise.

We have four fixtures remaining. Albania (h), Faroe Islands (h), Lithuania (a) and Georgia (a). We should make the play-off's but I will still be unhappy with it. I have delayed the Fiorentina decision again for another week. Im a little up in air about it. sad you quit liverpool but the picked quite the replacement i remember Matias Almeida was the second best manager of all time in one of my savesi wouldn't sign for fiorentina yet, focus on the england job and see how the world cup goes you will easily get a job since you had such a career so far Yeah he seems to have had a decent stint at Palermo so I am keeping my fingers crossed. I personally would have done it 'boot room' style and promoted Steven Gerrard into the post with Jamie Carragher as his assistant. Games eh!!! Finally!

SRL88 Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 SRL88's Career - New Club Update - Galatasaray SK Name: Galatasaray SK Nickname: Cim Bom Stadium: Ali Sami Yen Spor Kompleksi Turk Telekom Arena (52,695 all-seater) Status: Professional So its been under 6 weeks since I stepped down as manager of Liverpool Football Club and I am back in club management, and back in the country where it all began for me. I have joined the club on a 4 year contract and I am really looking forward to managing in Turkey again. I really enjoyed my first stint in this country and I cant wait to get stuck into something new. Board Expectations: Turkish Premier League: Win it Turkish Cup: Be competitive Champions League: Reach the group stage My Expectations: Turkish Premier League: Challenge for the title Turkish Cup: I would love a trophy in my first season Champions League: If I can get through the grpup I will be chuffed Budgets: Transfer: £25m Wage: £1,571,929 (Currently spending £1,093,339) Balance: £38,583,234 Squad: I have brought Steven Gerrard with me and he is now my assistant so these are his ratings. They served me well at Liverpool and I am sure they will here. The squad looks pretty good I must say. Key Player(s): Oumar Keita - I actually tried to sign him when I was at Liverpool so its nice to have the chance to work with him now. Andres Paradiso - Physical stats . Miguel Angel Bone - I really like the look of this guy. He looks a really solid player for this level. Hristo Simeonov - He looks like a very good lone striker and will most likely be the main source of goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will take your advice on board Sir . I will be replacing a few people though. did cardiff get taken over? Yeah they did. After the last game of the season they sacked Temur Ketsbaia and replaced him with Alex Schalk. They are listed as 'rich' and have so far spent £4.5m in the transfer window. I expect that to rise though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike7077 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 A very unexpected move! Dominating England with one of the world's great clubs to the Turkish league with a club that's still great in its own way but not on Liverpool's level.

joe__the__man Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Since taking charge at Anfield, I have tossed my workload between managing Liverpool, Argentina and England and I now feel that I would like to focus my attention on one challenge. I am currently the manager of the England national team and I with the 2030 World Cup coming up next year I feel that I would like to solely focus on England's qualification for the tournament. I feel worn out with the constant hustle and bustle of club management as well as international management and feel that I need to recharge myself. I wish to spend time with my family as they have been fully supportive throughout my career, and I now feel that it is time for me to devote some attention to them. This paragraph was one big lie!!

SRL88 Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 This paragraph was one big lie!! Well I would agree with you, but when I received the offers from Fiorentina, Wolfsburg and Galatasaray, I sat down with my family and discussed the options. The deciding factor for me was the fact that my family loved the two years we spent in Turkey and overall, it was them who tempted me back into club management so quick. I was ready for a break from it, but they were so hell bent on me getting back into it and moving back to Turkey that I had to take the opportunity.

SRL88 Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 SRL88's Career - Pre-Season - 2029/30 - Galatasaray SK Friendlies A pretty solid pre-season for us, and yes, I did set up a friendly against Liverpool . This wasnt really about results or even performances to an extent, it was more about the players getting used to my tactics. Champions League Qualifying Rounds First time I have ever seen these stages in the Champions League. We came through both rounds in comfortable fashion. Much like our friendlies, the players were still getting used to my tactics but overall we played really well. The way I have us playing makes us a lot more solid at the back whilst also inflicting damage going forward. It will take time, but we will get there. Still, we're into the group stages which is one of the board's objectives for the season out the way. Transfers - In I have spent quite a bit of money, especially for a Turkish club. I have had to try and rebuild an ageing squad as well as one with way to many foreign players in....and the quality of Turkish players around isnt exactly hard so its been a little difficult. Ethmen Ozmen who is the first player on the list was signed prior to me joining the club so he isnt my signing. Alejandro Saavedra - £3.5m - Although he classes as a foreign player I couldnt pass up this opportunity. He is a class act.Diego Azil - Free - Another foreign player, but for a free transfer I couldnt pass this up. Diego Biscay - £1.5m - A quality looking player. Should prove to be a right bargain. Erdem Soyatik - £3.5m - Signed from our feeder club Bucaspor. A very young player who has his whole career ahead of him. Brilliant signing. Ismail Ersoy - £4m - Im not sure if this will turn out to be a good signing, but we needed a Turkish player and he was available. Senol Yalcin - £3.8m - Despite being German, he actually classes as a Turkish player. Really looking forward to seeing his development over the next few seasons. Umit Kargin - £8.25m - My biggest signing. Born in Turkey but took up the option to play for Germany. Looks a quality centre back. Yuksel Gurses - Loan - Brought in to add depth to the squad and because he classes as home grown. Transfers - Out 1 - Transfers - Out 2 A lot of players have left the club this summer but they are all the dead wood and crap who had to leave. All the players who have left on loan are players I tried to sell but no one wanted them which is a little annoying. At least they are off the wage bill though.

SRL88 Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 Great move, don't get me wrong this thread was very good when you were at Liverpool but this move brings a much higher level of interest from me. I am looking forward to it because I have Turkey loaded on my save and would love to end up there at some point, good luck! Thanks...I think ha. Yeah it is an interesting move and one I am pleased with. Although I could have probably stayed at Liverpool for another few seasons but I achieved what I wanted to achieve and it was time to move on. Fiorentina was probably the best offer of the three I had but I wasnt feeling it. The Galatasaray offer really stood out to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRL88 Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 Group Stage Draw A decent draw in all honesty. We should be able to put up a decent fight against Bayern, especially at home.
