We had a fairly solid season, we were only three points off the playoff spots so we gave it a real good go especially with a lack of real quality in our squad. We have a real lack of depth in defence and we got a couple of injuries which meant we had to juggle the defence around a lot and played many players completely out of position. Tulloch had been brilliant for us since I joined Wycombe. As you can see there are many players in on loan and its not surprising really due to having the second lowest wage budget in the league with just 34k a week as a wage budget so if that's not increased it could mean that next season will be very interesting in terms of transfers and strengthening as it could potentially mean I'll have to do very much the same and rely on Loan signings to add depth and a little more quality but lets see how the preseason pans out...

Decent season. Hopefully you get good signings in the summer and go for the promotion next season. Good luck!

First of all apologies for just the one update this season, I would have liked to done more updates but due to internet connection issues I couldn't update as I would like to have done, my internet has been pretty much down all day with the (no internet access) due to a fault in my area but it got rectified tonight so updates will be back to normal now.

Well what a season this has been, we did the promotion the hard way by going through the playoffs but to be fair to have the second lowest wage budget in the league and get promoted is no easy feat! Around October time when we had our terrible spell, I'll be honest I was absolutely bricking it, I thought we had our good spell with a half decent squad and that was that and the season was going to go dreadfully but somehow we turned it around with a little 1-0 win over Walsall in the FA Cup what seems to have inspired us and from there we managed pretty decent form from then on. I think our showing was abysmal in the cup competitions to be fair though, we really should have done better but I'll take that showing with the promotion as we are now in the Championship for the very first time as a club.

I've had my initial budgets for next season and its a mere £900k transfer budget and a wage budget of £66k a week... to put that into context Bristol Rovers who had the lowest wage budget in the Championship last season had a wage budget of £118k a week so nearly double of what Wycombe are offering me. I think the inevitable will probably happen next season with the lack of spending power to build a team capable of staying up, if there is any attractive propositions that come my way I will definitely consider them for this reason but I might stick it out at Wycombe if a club who isn't challenging for the Championship or higher reputation division comes in for me.

For me really there was only really one stand out player for us all season and that was ex Liverpool winger Rafa Camacho who was on loan from Burnley, he managed 16 goals and 6 assists on the wing with an average rating of 7.04 and Adria Bernabe on loan from Man City our affiliate, the rest really to be honest played to a decent level but never really excelled or shown a massive influence throughout the season.

Let's see what pans out over the off season!

Pre-Season Update

Fairly strong pre season really for us there, we gave some good performances against the much bigger sides we came up against despite the lack of quality in our side. Now in terms of the squad we've got lots of depth however, that doesn't necessarily transpire into the quality we desperately need, I've strengthened the best I could with the lack of funds in terms of wages as if we wanted to sign anyone who wasn't British we had to pay £8k a week wages which we couldn't offer as we've got a very hard Brexit so I had to settle for British players who aren't really the quality I wanted but improved the squad slightly to give us a better chance.

I think it'll be a miracle if we escape the drop but let's see how it pans out, I'm looking forward to challenge and to see if there are any interesting opportunities what might come our way.

Here comes the biggest challenge of my managerial career on this save!

So we've managed to keep our heads just above the looming relegation places, we're just not performing or should I say we just really don't have the squad to do much better which I play down to the lack of financial backing, it's proving to be an increasingly difficult task to grind out the necessary results.

Our attackers aren't really doing much and it's telling with our top goalscorer being from central midfield, I think we'll do marvellously well to stay up in the division. There have been a few clubs sniffing around for my services which I have turned down as they aren't the right fit for me at the moment but it is something to consider if the perfect team comes along for me, it would be something I will consider, especially if it's a premier league club...

AND LOW AND BEHOLD THAT HAPPENED...

So I've become the manager of Fulham, they're a premier league team which are also struggling really to put any form together and the finances were somewhat horrendous when I arrived. The bank balance was £18M in the red and no transfer budget and we were over wages by £60k a week so I needed to rectify a few things and sell before I acquired better players. I think we'll do well to stay up, to be honest, but I've got a plan and hopefully, it works...

So we managed to do it, we've stayed in the Premier League which was our minimum target, we got a solid position too with 13th. I'm looking to improve on this next season and break into the top half of the table and possibly get a europa league spot if we're lucky. We're going to have to improve the squads quality massively though in order to do that.

It looked rather bleak at the beginning, we were shipping in too many and not scoring anywhere near enough so we were losing matches comfortably so something had to change as my usual 4-1-2-2-1 formation wasn't even remotely working even though it should have been better in defence for us with the DM protecting the defence so I just had to go for it and went for a really attacking 4-2-3-1 formation and it actually turned our fortunes around massively as we was sitting in the relegation spaces and I really did not want a relegation under my name.

Harry Wilson and Mallahi changed our fortunes around massively, I started playing Mallahi upfront as the starting lone striker where the previous manager was using Mitrovic who doesn't really fit my style of football. Mallahi turn of speed turned troublesome for the defenders and went on a great scoring streak for us. Wilson was an absolute machine on the wings for us, I often rotated him from left to right and it worked, he was pulling the strings and made 10 assists from just signing in January.

I'm really looking forward to next season, I think it could end up being a good one should we get the the transfers right.

Cracking news that you're staying in the Prem. Done it by some way as well so that's good! Get those signings in and the best of luck for next season!
