I don't know if you're trying to get hired by all my least favourite teams in these leagues, but you're doing a great job of it!

By all means, go for the Marseille and Schalke jobs after Arsenal...


I'm terribly sorry haha. TBH, I hate Arsenal, but I have to go for the jobs as they become available. I may just quit Juve and see who takes the job and look to jump into their old job. I want Pep's job at Bayern, his contract expires in the summer too.

Season 2 Squad Summary

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/w5C99cK78Kq8gcWpvYg6JyNUvzojqmcPsee3ullx.png
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/m4zpeBTA4yZHju70Et3Dvx1wAIfDJM4FE0oxSdBF.png

Going through the season, I pretty much stuck to the same 11, only switching to give the players a rest. This really helped the team gel and play well together and buy into my tactic straight away.

-NEW SIGNINGS: Memphis Depay and Hulk were truly outstanding and were worth every penney. Considering I use my wings for most of the attack, I needed players I could rely on, they didn't disappoint. Depay was my player of the season, laying on assist and scoring goals a plenty. Clichy was as reliable and solid as I knew he would be, pushing Evra completely out of the fold. Vermaelen was OK the second half of the season, if not spectacular.

-DISSAPOINTMENTS: I leave this section for my strikers really. Tevez and Llorente (especially Tevez) would go 5 or 6 games without a goal and then hit a brace, only to disappear again for a couple of weeks. I've pre-signed Javier Hernandez so hopefully Juve won't have the same issues again next season. Buffon was his usual great self but would sometimes inexplicably wobble and cause me to lose the odd game. Age?

-OUTLOOK: With my year with Juve, I've noticed they hold onto a lot of aging players, I've tried to buy a couple of youngsters for the future a-la Depay but they will need to spend a lot going forward otherwise they'll be caught out.

The way I lost was the hardest, with two late goals. It was relatively close, it's just Tevez can't ever find form and Llorente wasn't good enough back up

SEASON 3 - 2016/17

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/8OZQYcW0zrILIrrpTGQBCRGeNlcZu7y5LO26Vlw1.png

A homecoming of sorts, not with my team but with Arsenal. After the retirement of Arsene Wenger, Arsenal needed a new manager to keep them at the top of the pile. Who better then the Italian and Spanish championship winning Englishman?

I'll need a bit of time to really evaluate this squad, but on face value, I may try and get hold of a new striker and a strong CB. Stay tuned...

I always play with an anchor in my tactic, and Arsenal do not have one at all. The nearest thing I have is Ramsey. So Lucas Silva is a great up and coming young player. May look for a backup to him too.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/NVOsqUQPeSaocnULnuOwahd6CwXxa7aKxH8fWTG8.png
Same issues I had with Juve, LB's are just so hard to come by. I appreciate Siqueria is a little old for a fullback but I think he can do the job for a couple of seasons.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/pQpTube4wFJKFzT8jfGPC8qKr7HfKBtqztApdgeI.png
OK, I know Lavezzi is a little on the old side, but he's still a class act and I'm hoping he has the same impact as Hulk did at Juve.

Yeah as a Man Utd fan, I'm not overly comfortable with managing Arsenal, but sweet Jesus, they do have some cracking players.

An update....and I'm really struggling. Played 5 lost 3 including to Charlton. Not as easy as I thought it would be. Going to be a long season.

Rampant career so far taking Spain and Italy by storm and now the hard work begins. Clearly Chelsea are doing well after the recent European triumph. Lucas Silva and Godin will be very good signings for Arsenal, I'm sure Godin is much needed defensive strength and Silva a talent for any club in all fairness! Good luck for the rest of the season.

Yeah I've obviously had it really easy. I think it goes to show the great competition in the BPL compared to the other leagues. Godin is a cracking signing, and especially for that cheap. Thanks mate.

Urgh, that was desperately disappointing. Lost in in the last 10 minutes, especially being 2-0 up. Title aspirations dealt a blow after stringing some good results together.

First north London derby, and after a damp squib of a first half, the guns were out in the second. Lois Van Gaal is the manager at Spurs nowadays, and he couldn't stop my rampant Arsenal side. I really want to push for the title and this will hopefully give the gents in the team a lift.

In other news, Jorge Jesus, the current man utd manager, is under the cosh and I'm favourite to take the job. Have to resist every temptation to jump ship...

Lucas Silva was struggling as the only DM, so it only made sense to bring in a steady hand to take over in the vastly experience Masch

Amazing signing, I had like £7m in the bank and thought I'd try and ask the board if they fancied going for him for me...and they obliged! Well done Stan Kroenke!

That must've been a cup final for the ages! I went behind 3 times!! My decision to sell Giroud fully vilified here by a cracking performance for Wellbeck who is unstoppable upfront on his own. And Masch is proving to be good money well spent.
