So hopefully this will be my last FM13 career and I'll be taking charge of Everton. The plan really is to get the club into the Champions League on a regular basis and anything extra is a bonus from there on. The squad is alright at the moment, probably not good enough to make the top four, but I'm planning to make some changes. I'd prefer to keep a hold of Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines, but may have to sell them if good offers are made.

So our pre season fixtures all seem pretty straight forward and should have us ready for the start of the 2012-2013 Barclays Premier League season. We'll kick things off away against Stoke City before hosting Wigan Athletic at Goodison Park and I'll be looking for at least four points from those two games in September.

Our first meeting against fierce rivals Liverpool is in December at Anfield with the corresponding fixture taking place at Goodison Park at the end of April, two games I desperately don't want to lose.

So after looking at the squad it was clear we needed to bring in someone who could play on the left wing and another striker who could potentially score 10-15 goals this season to support Victor Anichebe and Nikica Jelavić, because quite frankly I don't trust Magaye Gueye, Steven Naismith or Apostolos Vellios.

Both have been brought in on loans until middle January, the 14th and 15th of January respectively.

Definitely looks a good player, pity I don't have the £6 million AC Milan want for a full transfer.

I've brought him in as cover for Pienaar and also to play that left wing role.

The fight to keep Marouane Fellaini at Goodison Park has begun. Personally I'd love to keep him and push for a European placed finish in the Barclays Premier League but with Manchester City declaring their interest it may just be a matter of time before he departs. If he does though I imagine we'll pocket at least £20 million which could help me strengthen in other areas.

Our first two pre season games have come and gone. We beat Wolfsburg in our first outing as Phil Jagielka scored a very late winner before beating Guangzhou Evergrande in a penalty shootout in the final. It was nice to see Federico Macheda score and hopefully that's a sign of things to come over the next few months.

I've decided to bring in Spanish international Albert Riera on a season long loan from Turkish side Galatasaray. He'll provide good competition and backup for Urby Emanuelson in my opinion, the former Liverpool winger looks a decent signing and hopefully he can deliver a few assists throughout his stay at Goodison Park.

Pre season is over and it's been successful. We looked comfortable in our games and apart from the disappointing 2-1 defeat against the Philadelphia Union we won all our games. The bad news is the fact Phil Jagielka will miss our opening two Premier League games against Stoke City and Wigan Athletic due to a back injury.

Reira doesn't have the speed that Emanuelson has but he's a good back up/alternative option!

Sell Fellaini! Do it! Scout a replacement for half the price and be shrewd

I've never had Fellaini in FM righ enough so I'm saying that from having no experience as to how good he is!

He doesn't have that speed, but he's a good backup as you said and has quite a decent cross on him.

As for Fellaini I guess it just depends on when a bid is made, how much and if I can actually get a good replacement that can do what he does in my team. I'll be playing him as a ball winning midfielder, so he's going to be crucial to how we play.

Absolutely chuffed with the beginning to the season we've made. Unbeaten in the Barclays Premier League and we recorded a straight forward victory over Oldham Athletic in the Capital One Cup to set up a clash with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the next round. We've had a few injuries, for example Phil Jagielka, Steven Pienaar and Seamus Coleman have all suffered injuries that could have disrupted our start to the season.

Over halfway through the season and we're sitting around the European places which is good. We've had a bit of a dip in form over November and December, narrow defeats against Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal especially painful experiences.

With just three games to go we've got a huge chance of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League.

The only problem now is we've got a terrible run in with a home game against Arsenal and away clashes against Manchester City and Southampton. We can beat the Gunners at home and Southampton away, although we lost 1-0 against the latter back in December.

We fucked up and won't be playing in the lucrative UEFA Champions League next season. It's extremely disappointing that we'll miss out on playing Europe's biggest teams due to a point, a single point, that's all, a fucking point, I'm livid, can't you tell?? The good thing I suppose is the squad doesn't need a huge overhaul for us to be again competitive in the top half of the table and if we can sign a few good players maybe we can avoid this disappointment next season.

Don't be too hard on yourself, 5th is still a solid start and with a few choice signings you'll have a better season next season with a good run in the Europa

Just a little infuriating considering it was fucking Stoke, I mean had it been Arsenal, Liverpool or Tottenham I'd be kinda cool with that, but fucking Stoke, fuck right off... Hopefully next season doesn't pan out the same way!!!

So we eventually sold Fellaini to Real Madrid and I think we got a good fee that reflected his ability as a player and importance to the club. I've used that to go and strengthen in many different areas yet unfortunately the beginning of the season has been an absolute fucking nightmare!! We've struggled for consistency and were even knocked out of the Europa League after two terrible, woeful and disastrous performances. The only positives I can really take is we beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and beat Manchester United at home, although some awful defeats at home have really set us back.

So after some dreadful results and a terrible run of form I've been sacked. Can't say I'm really surprised, I mean we've really struggled and it didn't look like improving anytime soon under my guidance. I'm very, very disappointed, I mean I thought the squad could and should have been challenging for a top four spot after the additions we'd made during the summer.

I reckon we could have turned things around and it's disappointing I was sacked. I guess though having spent money during the summer a relegation battle wasn't acceptable and throw in the fact we fucked up in our Europa League qualifier then I guess it's understandable.
