Firstly i can only apologise for my last career thread ending so soon, but i really didn't expect to get sacked with the squad i had.

This time around its a trip into the unknown world of international management, Wales will be my side purely because of my love for Aaron Ramsey.

Fans already questioning me, dicks.

Well we appear to have a game on my first day in charge, which i certainly didn't expect. After that its another couple of friendlies before we try to end our World Cup campaign on some sort of high.

As you can see we certainly won't be sneaking in to the qualifying spots, but moving up a place would certainly be a happier ending to what has so far been a very poor campaign.

Good luck with this VP but would have loved you to start with Northern Ireland, much tougher.

You should know that by now i could take charge of Spain and still find it tough!

Anyway, a familiar theme to my FM games has continued to this one, defeats. Though i'm not too fussed as the matches were not expected plus we have no Gareth Bale for 3 months

Well this will be seen as my starting point, 60th in the world. We really should be looking at hitting the top 40, maybe even top 30 nations but of course only results will see that happen.

Cheers mate.

Very good win for us, totally controlled the game up until the latter stages where we were under a lot of pressure.

An edgy performance but we got the 3pts thanks to Craig Davies Golazo.

Would be brilliant to finish above Soctland, sadly we only have very hard games remaining.

Easily our best performance to date yet our worst result ffs. Had some real great chances, Ashley Williams missed from a yard out and Bellamy hitting were just two of the occasions i wanted to put a hammer through the PC.

First time i've tried an international team, just holiday to each game to stop it getting boring.

Finished the qualifying with a very good point in Croatia but then followed that up with an undeserved hammering against Serbia. We have friendlies against Slovenia and the Czech Republic coming in November now.

Decent result in Prague, shame we couldn't hold on to the lead but still very happy with the result. The Slovenia match was cancelled due to them making the play off's, though Turkey defeated them 4-0 on agg. Have set up a big friendly in March, Lionel Messi's Argentina will be coming to Wales.

Four more friendlies arranged for the new year, though these may of course change.

Euro 2016 draw has been made and second place is certainly up for grabs. Plus we also get to play Gibraltar \o/

In all fairness they destroyed us for most of the game, we just took our chances for once. Next up is Spain at home to start the qualifying campaign.

Back down to Earth now, no shock in the defeat but would have preferred a lower scoreline because of goal difference. Just hope Spain do this to all the other sides too.

Next up its the trip to Windsor Park Northern Ireland, who started their campaign with a very impressive 3-2 win in Norway. This certainly won't be easy.

Another huge away win, we don't play a competitive game again until March but we do have a couple of friendlies in November.

Nice trip away and gave me a chance to look at one or two that haven't really featured in the previous games, Jack Collison and Andrew Crofts being two that stood out.

Jack Collison continued his impressive from the friendlies and grabbed himself a goal too. Gibraltar away next followed by the trip to Spain

Though we do have Brazil at home in a friendly next, which must have been set up whilst i was holidaying
