Shedender - Cheers pal. Seems a little jump around at the moment.

Just been taken over by a Norwegian Tycoon. Very tempting offer. Will go for the interview and see what the craic is.

Should have scored more! But nevertheless we won and picked up another trophy.

For such good facilities and youth system we are simply not producing. If we are not producing then it is becoming an issue that I don't fancy managing the club for much longer. I wanted to settle down at the club for a few more seasons but with another reasonably poor youth intake I cannot develop young talent.

Sextuplet ... massive. Achieved the maximum here in South Africa. With the board refusing to improve facilities and link with a new parent club, and my contract running out. I think it could be time for a change of scenery.

The league table ended up like this. Despite the gap, it was still a pretty close thing. We just managed to pull away at the end.

Just a tribute to some of the players who have been the difference makers at the Buccaneers.

Signed on a free towards the end of my first season at the club. The Vietnam international has been ever present. Despite the odd prone match to be comparable to that of the great Massimo Taibi, he does more times than not play like a Vietnamese version of one Gianluigi Buffon.

Club product Prince only gets better with matches played. Has developed well in my two seasons at the club. Easily destined to play at a higher level.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/1L19msJdExA1DTDWLCEdorLnVPN8Kw6HztOkMiz0.png

Picked up on a free at the start of the second season and never looked back. Has been pure class whether it has been off the bench or not.

My main man Kermit has been an absolute machine. First season he struggled with getting used to the formation and tactic I had implemented at the club. Once he got to grasp with it. He has not looked back.

Two jobs, both to be seriously considered. Do I accept one and move or do I leave the Pirates at the end of my contract and hope for a better job to come my way ... decisions.

So confirmed I have left but where does my future hold ...

Shedender and Johno, interesting choices. The squad is a little thin. It is appealing as is Maccabi Tel-Aviv who possess a tidy 17 year old right mid. Two leagues I have never managed in.

However a decision has been made ...

So I signed a Cymro standard year deal with FC Midtjylland. Squad is thin on the ground and at first look not many exciting youth prospects.

George14brfc - Cheers fella. Enjoyed managing the Orlando Pirates but as soon as I realised things were not going to improve despite the cash influx from all the cup wins it was a no brainer to move on.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/v7YT8XXwhBpLJHhtEsIgAyoo76YsNzxxSfjAcqBE.png

Cupboard is bare but the facilities are there. An apparent growing club so that is my aim to carry on that.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/SF22x57JFda8QN00EeFDe0XaokqKfHEcRGV35Qeq.png

A a new number one fan. I cannot wait to put Anders the Reserve into his place. Spends some time with Fergie and thinks he can be billy big balls. He has much to learn.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/CmO5djrFJ6kM1KQYoCRA23CYpU1raUVPgpmZ1hbc.png

Just like a 5 year old who lost his rattle from the pram. As I said, I cannot wait to smash him and his team.

Despite moving away, I managed to pick up an award. Clean sweep then in South Africa.

Lot of reasonably good players but some won't fit into the system I like using so either I convert them, sell them or change my system. It wasn't as bleak as I first thought.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/hVWzT6TcSZ7DRMc29sBkIZ6vpMx7gN4Qq1RZRsYC.png

Some handy youth players in the youth squad so look forward to developing them.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ioQgtNMLAL4hNo1yBST6Q8vh1CAXiLXbfBIBF6bI.png

Some movement in the staff room. When the manager left he took staff with him. Hired ex-England fullback Luke Young as my Assistant Manager, he has good judging skills, tactical and motivational skills. Then hired a Youth Development officer to ensure that we don't lose out on the quality youth players entering the system.

Finances are not great but there is profit being made, so that is a positive thing at least.

Transfer dealings ... some good players have come in and we have managed to ship out some decent youngsters on loan.

We need to finish in the top 5 to qualify for European football. That is the aim. That is what I have promised the board. Only played two games pre-season because of fixture cancellations. Beat Sion 1-0 and Cardiff 3-2.

itchycoo - Youth looks promising, they will be given a go at some stage.

Eric Portapotty - Cheers bru. Will change whilst I am in Denmark with this club for a while. Not enough serious quality to mount anything substantial.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/nicUfyH3767YhiCWVP0RNwzmvzUK4N8w357xaLXs.png

So a mix bag of a start. Came close to throwing it away against a few sides there FC Nordsjælland, Silkeborg IF and AC Horsens to name but a few. Life is not that easy and I am enjoying the challenge more. Despite reinforcing the side, the side still lacks that quality that will push us I reckon into the top 2 and probably top 3.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/aG7hKZQrdmbThH9Ff6CNLfHI7SyxiAtrzEWMl5vp.png

In the league it is not all doom and gloom. We are sitting in 5th where I want to be. But could all very well change.

In the last 4 games things have begun to turn around. Players are now happy in the system I am playing them in. Yes some of the squad is young and there is still much work to do with the squad, but in this moment in time. It is going well.
