Addickted To Winning (A Charlton story) IIIIIIIIIIII

Dynamo Kiev job was up for grabs so I thought why not? Applied, got the interview, got the job offer. First warning sign; only a £1.6m transfer budget. Very, very low.

I then looked over the squad, and since Ukraine is fresh into the league rotation the squad is all over the shop. Zero balance, a horrible mix of aged stars and useless Ukrainian teenagers. At that point I rejected the job offer, Ukraine isn't ready to be managed in just yet. Still needs a few more seasons for things to settle down and enter a natural flow.

Couldn't be happier with that. Had time with Ajax, PSV, Twente, AZ, etc in past FMs but never really done much with Feyenoord. A good opportunity to build something.

We haven't finished higher than 11th in the past 5 seasons, we have the 11th highest wage bill in the league and the squad actually has a good balance to it.

Straight away I'm hacking away at the staff. Ast man, head of youth development and two scouts have all been removed. Will post up the replacements soon.

Since leaving Palermo I have kept an eye on them, interestingly enough in the two post-Skacel seasons I would have made a lot of the purchases they did. Most of the players they signed I had my eyes on getting within the near future.



Squad is in good shape, everything looks good. Mauro is still there, I'm surprised by this. How's he getting on?



WHAT THE FUCK HAVE THEY DONE TO HIM?



WHERE'S HIS HAIR? THE BASTARDS. SICILIAN MAFIA STOLE IT.

Just caught up on this. Mauro's transformation made me chuckle!

Hope this is still going, always a great read. Feyenoord should be a good challenge. Planning on bringing any of your Borca players along with you or is the standard too much of a jump?
