Spinning Swimming and Screaming through Turkey

Great form mate KIU

Right then tis end of season time.




By the skin of our teeth. Form in the second half of the season did improve quite a bit, particularly after I was threatened with the sack (which was after the 1-0 defeat to Boyuzukspor. The form through March and April was great.




Basically Yilmaz and Erdogan are the reason I got 99% of the points I did. Yilmaz also the only one of my players to have an Avg Rating of 7 or higher ><
I've negotiated new 1 year contracts for all of the guys who performed well enough for the most part, the rest can just swan off and hopefully if I can get some backup of a higher standard and maybe 1 or 2 first teamers then surviving next season wont be as bloody stressful. All depends on whats available on the free market of course.

Dunno how I survived this season but i bloody did, onwards and upwards

Cheers pal, it really saved my job

Well done saving your job pal, form really turned!

Keep up the good job lad

Great turn around after the board threatened to sack you

Roll on next season.

Thanks a lot guys n yeah it was very close. Had to beg them for another month in a board meeting.

My last deadline for Uni is a week today so I wont be on much this week. But come the 13th and we'll be back up and running

Well done turning things around mate!

My transfers for this season, I bit more of an upheaval than I had hoped so there may need to be some more settling in this season. However some useless players on high wages need to go and the players brought in are all of similar or better quality. So im hoping for at least a bit of an improvement on last season as the main core of the squad is still there.



Im gonna stick to using the direct attacking 4-4-2 that served me so well in the back end of last season and as such I needed someone to partner Yilmaz up front and this is the guy im pinning my hopes on. Dont know much about him bar he was released from a team in the league above and hes better than anything I have so he will do. As a result of dropping down a division his wages are much higher than the rest of the squad but hopefully if he gets the goals he will be worth it.



This guy is the only other decent signing I have, 3 of my central midfielders were let go so I needed to get more in that area and this guy will be an automatic first teamer. The rest will just be back up, with maybe 1 or 2 being good enough to start.

Hope Yilmaz and Sercan click together to get loads of goals between them.

Just beat a Super League side (Mikael Silvestre and all) in the first round of the cup... no biggie Got a non-league side in the next round too so the competition money will be a real help

You bastard! We could have had it all! You have broken my heart

My best player and main source of goals is going...On the upside at least I already know what my main target for the summer is going to be

So...erm....this happened....






I honestly have no idea. I dont know whether because its such a poor league that squads inevitably get weaker as they cant afford to keep their best players or theres a high turnaround of people being released and bought on frees so the teams that are weak and strong change a lot? I dont know, maybe we've just improved? However Pazarspor who were also as awful as us last year are doing very well too...so there could be something in this. Also weirdly theres one more team in the league this year... no idea on that either.

In terms of just looking at us I have been very happy with the way we've played. Our attacking setup means we score a lot but concede a lot too but Yilmaz and Sercan have been banging them in fairly regularly. We have mostly been dropping points whenever I have had to rest a few players (bar the drubbings against Altay and Nazili, they are just too good). This leads me to conclude that my first 11 can compete with anyone...but my back ups are awful.

No real plans for the rest of the season as I am already achieving way over what I had planned. Lets just see this out...i'm not gonna dream of promotion and at the moment and im not fussed if we dont get it because of the overachieving. But if we are still in this position with a few games to go, knowing me and my competitive nature I will probably end up gutted if we dont.

Art imitating life it seems

Having a good season so far buddy!

Doing well mate. Seems like when you lose you like to lose big ha!

Thanks guys, and yeah if youre gonna lose might aswell do it in style i guess

My only recruit in the January window, can play on both wings so will be decent cover

Ahahaha I know that feel, excellent work nevertheless.
