..but I need something new that I've never done before. A journeyman career. As enjoyable as my Celtic game is I need a real challenge.
I'm not sure where I'll start. It might be club, international or even unemployed. I'll start looking after I've completed my two months of the succession game.

Thanks George.
Yeah so I've read so far, I'm going to class unemployed as taking over a managerless club.

I hope to get them in the top 140 before even thinking about moving.
My first choice was the British Virgin Islands but I was unable to make them playable.

First thing to was was to bring in a half decent assistant manager. I choose John Kennedy of Celtic and the plan is to take him with me wherever I go.
With over a month to go until the first fixture I was messing around with the squad and tactics and came up with a counter attacking set-up.
SR67
This is the group. Talk about in at the deep end. If I can get one point out of the remaining fixtures I'll be happy as long Kazakhstan don't overtake us.
Up next is San Marino, a game we should win.
SR67
I'm now going to analyse the match and individual positions as I have about three weeks before the Ireland game.
I'll take a break from this tonight to get through my two months of the Ross County Succession Game...

Cheers Shedender.

We did have two of our best players missing but not that it would have changed much.
SR67
I'm just looking forward to getting the qualifiers over with and a few friendlies to climb up the rankings.

Yeah I couldn't believe it, I've been following it been doing a grand job so far .
SR67
Kazakhstan lost again and face Germany in the final round of fixtures. It looks like we have 2nd last wrapped up.
SR67
With the World Cup dream over its time to focus on some friendlies and climb up those FIFA rankings.
We now sit 168th in the FIFA rankings. Up next in November we host Kazakhstan and Tahiti.
SR67
Next up is Haiti, hopefully we can at least win that.
SR67
I think a change of tactics might be in order. We remain 168th in the FIFA rankings at the moment.
SR67
France 2016 here we come. HA.
SR67
The draw moved us up a single place to 167th. Next up we face Palestine before the Euro qualifier against Russia.
I'll tell you one thing I've learnt so far. The breaks between games is very frustrating. Not got another for about 6 months so holiday mode it is.

They're coming along slowly! Another 30 or so places and I can think about moving on haha. I've just been putting it on holiday in-between, I've got Boardwalk Empire to keep me occupied.
SR67
I'd like to note that going into the game we had slipped to 189th in the rankings after the World Cup. In which Spain beat Switzerland with a double in injury time. Ouch.
SR67
The results leave us 173rd in the FIFA rankings. Things are looking up (after the rest of the qualifiers). HA.
Anyway this will be my last post of 2013. Just like to wish everyone following a Happy New Year.

Thanks George. I'll post a screenie on the next post.

Next up is Cyprus in another qualifier, hopefully we can pull of a draw.
