Lets teach these youngins how you really battle your way out of a relegation fight.
My next game is against the team directly above me, four points from safety, three games left. We win, the dream is alive. We lose, we're down.
Sheriff Skacel
Bollocks. All but down, all but down ladies and gentleman.

4-3 defeat.
No Maltese third division loaded, b-b-b-b-bye.

Hello India, end of season now, no games till September time. So we have lots of month to build and form the squad. 433 is the goal.

Shockingly there is no footballing talent in India, and if I could, I'd field a team of 12 Brazilians, breaking both the foreigner rule and the rule for the amount of players you are allowed on the pitch. Got my two scouts scouting for my whole new attack and you should fully expect some Brazilian flair to be in the mix.

Brought in to score from AMR, one of the few 'pacey' Indian wingers about.
Was signed to play AML, but I've had to let him go out on loan. Shame really, leaves me a little short down the wings but its gotta be done.
Star boy, looking for him to run the show.
My Romario. My Brazilian faith. My only hope.

Two games in the Durand cup group stage, lost both, conceded five shots on target over the two games, conceded five goals. Awful keeper.

2-0 down, 3-2 up, Gaviao wraps it up.
My job is saved, for two days, East Bengal next.
Sheriff Skacel
Pfffffft, uneducated Indian's. I tried to explain to them how this wasn't cricket and how Gaviao's return of 1 goal in 12 games was rather remarkable and should be celebrated not derided.
Sheriff Skacel
Some silly mid-season break now, no games for nearly three month. Been a very average start, getting nothing from wee Gaviao but I don't want to change things too much just yet. I still have faith.
Just don't want to get sacked again, I want to try and build something up over two or three seasons and then move on.

The FOOOOOLLLLLLSSSSSS.
Foooollllsss.
I will destroy this club like I destroyed my slinky when I stretched it too much.
On a more serious note, Gaviao. 5 goals in his last 5 games.
Sheriff Skacel
Already begun the process, getting the scouts out and about looking got a GK and fullbacks. This summer I'm targeting a starting GK, a starting CB, a starting FB and a starting DMC. Four starters, two or three depth options.
Sheriff Skacel
Club were predicted 7th and we finished 6th, far from spectacular. But at one point I was on the verge of getting sacked, so nice wee turn around.
I wanted 10 goals from Gaviao and he obviously didn't hit it, so his season was nothing but below average. He'll still be leading the line next year with Singh playing from AMR, the AML slot is certainly up for grabs however.
Defence 100% needs sorting, gonna upgrade personnel and that look at things from a tactical standpoint. Asking a lot from my FBs due to me playing AMR/AML, so they need to be of a really good defensive standard.
Lots of high earners will be shipped out and I'll mainly be looking towards Indian players, but we do love those Brazilian's.

Been crunching the numbers, four first team squad members will leave and about six youngsters will too, that'll free up £3.6k a week in wages, not bad when our current wage bill is £13.7k a week.
With all this financial freedom I'm looking to add a starting GK, DMC and AML. If I can get them then I'm gonna look towards a starting FB and a new CM to replace the ol' Afghan.
Trying to slowly build the squad I want rather than rush in with ten signings. This is a process. This is progress. This is delaying the inevitable (me getting sacked).
