Unlucky with the couple of defeats Johno, be an interesting battle over the next few years though it seems!


Cheers, Dan! Hoping to get one over them next season!

It's a shame you couldn't at least pick up a point against Monaco.


Shame indeed, Massive difference between splashing the cash and not having a big budget as they have.

Surprised to see this came up in my inbox. We currently got 14M in the bank.

Was hoping for a tycoon.

Doing well here, problem is just that Monaco are doing great... Hopefully there will be no major shocks after the take over.

Yeah, Monaco tends to buy brilliant players for stupid money.

Just read this from start to finish awesome stuff really wanted you to win the CL with Ajax though


Appreciated Well, I was slightly tempted to stay with Ajax til I win CL but I decided to leave as it was getting too easy, but could I be back at Ajax? Who knows

Hopefully Johno you keep your job and maybe have some good funds along with what youve got to sign few decent players

off all takeovers ive had i never had a Tycoon take over something i want to happen probably never happen


Hope so, my job status is secure at the moment. I was hoping for one so I could improve the team with brilliant players to compete with Monaco and PSG for the title/CL.

April 2021

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/uKpQNYtNI3bGh10008A0q42ebnO60F5hV8iuti1C.png

Not a good month for us

Only goal from Agustin Allione saw us beat Benfica, was a close fought match and we has better chances.

Was a walk in the park for us against Caen, with goals from Bourgeois, Lovern and Allione in second half.

We was really poor against Benfica and we took the lead in first half, an own goal from Manquillo, level the score. We up the gear in last 10 minutes with 3 goals We was drawn against Gala in Semi Final.

Utterly pathetic performance, 2 individual mistakes and a scruff shot from Verratti saw us beaten.

Outrageous performance from the team against Sochaux We failed to hit the target from 6 shots Lucky to escape with a point.

Seems we clearly have our sight on Europa League With a 4-1 win in Turkey against Gala. We went behind on 8th minutes after Rose misplaced his pass which they converted to give them the lead with the only shot on target. Since then we took control of the game. Happy to have an 3 goals lead into 2nd leg at home.

Another pathetic away draw against Toulouse

Before our 2nd leg, received a news saying Allione is out for 4 weeks So I drafted in Ogunleye in his place. Once again, we went behind on 20th minutes after a mistake from our goalkeeper as he failed to clear Rose's pass which went straight to their forward /o\ Ogunleye got us in the frame on 50th minutes with a good strike outside the box. Manquillo, put us in front on 65th minutes, chested down Ogunleye's cross inside the box and slammed it into the net. Another pathetic mistake from Rose, ended up a penalty to Gala which they level the score to finish the game, 2-2. Ripped into Rose after the game and slammed his performance. Not happy at all. We will be playing at Ibrox Stadium against Tottenham Hotspur, after they beat Schalke 3-2 on agg.

Completely fucked up our Ligue 1 games But massively delighted to win Europa League

Utterly pathetic against FC Metz Nothing more to say.

Gutted to lose to St Etienne, poor pass from our goalkeeper which let their player score a long range shot to beat us on 37th minutes, another pathetic performance from us too.

Massive contrast from pervious two games, started, Ogunleye, on the right winger and was brilliant for us especially getting us the winner . Spurs was massively favourite to win the final against us.

We went behind after pathetic defending from Rose, to let their striker run past him to put them ahead on 28th minutes. Comelles, got us back on level terms on 36th minutes with an strike just outside the 6 yards box as Spurs failed to clear the ball. Ogunleye got us the winning goal 6 minutes later after Manquillo's shot was deflected into his path to slam it into the net to give us the lead and winning goal. We had better chances to score but Spurs's Hugo Lloris was in good form to keep them in the game.

Another pathetic performance in the league, against Sochaux We was poor in front of the goal, their goal came from Richard's own goal after Moerno sliced his clearance shot toward our own net and hit the keeper and went in This game and last 2 games has cost us 2nd place

Brilliant way to finish off the season with 4-1 win over Stade Rennais, Diego Costa was brilliant for us with 2 goals and MOTM. We needed Stade de Reims to beat PSG away to leave us a chance of snatching 2nd but PSG won 2-1.

Final Ligue 1 table

Thanks Andres

I believe Monaco was far too strong for us and PSG. I hope I can finish above PSG next season.

You have some solid foundation to build on, hopefully you can bring in two or three new players who'll fit with the rest of the squad and that could perhaps be the key factor in you rising above both teams next season?

This just pops up on my inbox, I'm going to attend and see what their vision for the club. They haven't won the league since 2018/19 season. where Dnipro won back to back titles, Shakhtar just finished 3rd in the league.

We certainly do with the youth doing well in the league, I believe.

I think I will need to bring in few defenders to shore up our defence as it seems the defence keeps making individual mistakes especially Rose, who seems to be the culprit.

Barcelona He's currently valued at 40M. If I'm tempted to sell, I would be looking for around 60-70M for him.

Decent transfer budget, hopefully I can bring in few players to improve the squad.

I'm still undecided on Shakhtar job if they offered me the job

I don't think Shakthar can afford him They did offer me 15M budget if I'm interested in taking over.

Cheers Dan! I was disappointed too! I think it was in our hands to finish 2nd but our matches against Sochaux, FC Metz and Saint Etienne didn't turn out the way we wanted to.

Delighted to win the Europa League, one of my objective this season was getting a cracking run in Europa League Before the match, Spurs has never lost to Lyon past 2 games. Spurs fielded this XI against us, Pretty scary eh

Wow tough choice! Its what you're feeling now though, are you feeling that its going to be too tough to crack Monaco within say the next couple years? or is that the challenge you thrive upon? Or would you like an easier challenge and a few league titles under your belt with Shakhtar and a return to France in the near future!?

Decided to take the job, I enjoyed my time with Lyon but I always wanted have a crack in Ukraine league, right time to take over Shakhtar Looking forward to rebuilding the team back to former glory, few good players and youngsters in the team.

Current team players

As you can see there few old players in the team which I will be looking to replace in the summer.

Formation - I will probably go for 4-2-3-1 or 4-5-1 or 4-1-2-1-2. I will use the pre season to see which will suit the team.

Will also be looking to revamp backroom staff too

I'd stick at Lyon for at least another season to see if you can crack Monaco.
