Two young strikers, hopefully will come back and force their way into the side next season. If not, we will probably have to sell them on.

First league game. A draw was probably a fair result but it would of been nice to win. Traore and Sane were our key men, both a threat throughout from the wide areas.

Didn't manage to make it into the final of the Olympics after a loss against France. We managed to win the Third Placed Play Off against Mexico 2-1 after extra time but I forgot to screenshot. As Spain Under 23's don't have a match for a while, we have been relieved of our duties as manager.

Easy win in the First Round of the German Cup. Traore played a stormer on his debut and it was nice to see Barbosa score his first goals for the club.

Through to the Olympics Semi Final after a goal in the dying moment of extra time. We were also down to ten men too so very happy with this win.

Spanky is having Internet problems so I will take over. The date is now the 14th August so I will play the rest of this month and also September and then pass on to Itchy. It's unfortunate that Spanky's internet has gone down but I am hoping we can get this back up and running on a frequent basis once again. I've missed this #PrayForSpanky

Wow! Just the difference between Fola, who struggled to win and then Cymro who won nearly (if not all) league games going!


Alright mate, don't rub it in!

Goodbye Europa League. What another horrendous two months for me. I have pretty much f*cked up this season for us guys. Really sorry, I'm absolutely gutted.

Should of won this. Battered them from the off, just struggled massively in front of goal throughout.

Another winger and another player from Aston Villa who will be joining us in the Summer. Amazing all round stats apart from his finishing. We have signed him on a pre-contract deal so like Grealish, he will be joining us on a free transfer. Another player who should have a good re-sale value in the future.

The Fola Effect. Phil Jones has been absolutely terrible for me whenever I have managed him. I was really optimistic about this match before we got started and they managed to score within 10 seconds.

Gutted to see this guy leave but he was moaning massively and wanted to go. Joins a club in the league below us which is strange because I'm sure he can do a job in this league.

Felt he was stagnating a little bit as he wasn't getting much game time this season. He has joined a side in the league below and I think he can develop better there than he has been doing. Hopefully he will come back a better player next season.

Not a big fan in real life but good stats on the game. I managed to bring him in on a free and will join the club in the Summer. Even if we don't play him much, we should get a good re-sale value from him. However, I think he could be a big player for us. Still young and can still improve.

Substitute goalkeeper will leave the club on a free in the Summer. Was a key player for us a few seasons back before Ospina joined.

Season 18/19 - Meet The Squad

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/8PcYGuP0EIBIPN63vYV7r14YUXgbwo9kTTixW06F.png


Last season our big name signing was El-Hadji-Diouf, the season before that was Brazilian goalkeeper Dida and the season before that was Trinidadian striker Cornell Glen. This season it is former Everton and New York Red Bulls midfielder Tim Cahill who joins the club until the end of the season. I am delighted to have brought such an experienced and quality player to the squad and Cahill is a player who I think can be a big player this season.

In terms of transfers, I have not made many transfers this pre-season. Christian Toonga returned to AFC Wimbledon whilst Dida has retired and become a scout at the club. Dida at the age of 44, brings a wealth of experience and consequently joins Cornell Glen who is also on our scouting team. El Hadji-Diouf was allowed to leave the club and has since retired. I let a few Indian players leave and a few joined the club but as always, please find below screenshots of all of my players for the upcoming season.

Goalkeepers

54 - Rowilson Naik: 17-year old Rowilson Naik becomes our number one goalkeeper after Dida's retirement. Last season Dida was his tutor so I am hoping that has helped him a little bit. He was my number one goalkeeper for my Indian Under 23 team at the Asian Games.
40 - Savio D'Souza: 16-year old goalkeeper spent last season in the youth team. Not ready for first team football yet but actually doesn't look too bad for his age. One for the future.

Right Backs

31 - Alex Ansari: 18-year old entering his third full season as my starting right back. Been capped for the full international side and expecting a full season from him this season.
2 - Pratesh Miranda: Back up for Ansari but can play either right or left back. Not a bad player for a back up.

Left Backs

34 - Loukik Lawrence: Entering his third full season at the club and probably the most successful player to come through our youth team in recent years. Been capped seven times for the Indian national side.
14 - Pratik Mascarenhas: Forced his way into the first team last season. Good back up player and can also play centre half.
13 - Robert Laithiamuana: New signing who has only recently joined the club. Can play left back or even left midfield. He's a good rotational player to have.

Centre Backs

26 - Raju Gaikwad: Entering his third season at the club. Experienced centre back who is regularly picked for the national side and now is my captain after Dida's retirement.
20 - Ben Smith: New Summer signing from the same side that I am purchased Jamie Pettit from. He has been capped for Australia Under 20's and is rated as one of my best players at the club.
53 - Abhishek Khan: Back up defender for Smith and Gaikwad. Didn't feature much last season.
3 - Pratesh DIas: Can play anywhere across the back line. It was his first season with the club last season but he didn't feature back apart from off the bench.

Centre Midfielders

8 - Shake Shamsu: 18-year old centre midfielder who can also play centre half. Did well for me last season in his first season at the club.
9 - Jamie Pettit: The most talented player at the club. Rumoured interest from PSG and made his debut for the Australian National side in the recent World Cup.
18 - Tim Cahill: The man needs no introduction. Brilliant player, possibly the best centre midfielder to play for the club.
15 - Mehtab Hussain: Experienced centre midfielder who has been capped by the national side. Good experience for the younger lads.
65 - Myron Fernandes: Recently progressed through the youth team. One for the future.
64 - Karan Coutinho: Another one who has come through the youth team. Like Fernandes, he's one for the future.
35 - Gandhi Ansari: Entering his third full season at the club. Did brilliantly for me for India Under 23's in the Summer.
47 - Mandar Shinde: Another one who impressed for the India Under 23 side in the Asian Games. One for the future.

Right Midfielders

28 - Kean Lewis: Joined us in the mid season last season. Was mostly back up to the recently departed El-Hadji Diouf.
12 - Joaquim Pereira: One for the future. Back up at best for this season.

Left Midfielders

6 - C.K. Vineeth: Was our top goalscorer last season. Regular for the Indian international side and a big player for us.
17 - Didika: Really good stats for this league. Pretty much just instruct him to shoot every time he gets the ball.

Strikers

19 - Craig Mackail-Smith: Takes my final international slot. Scored goals consistently throughout his career in England, just hope he can adapt to Indian football.
10 - Jeje: Goof back up player and scores a goal or two now and again.
16 - Zosangkima: Purely a back up player. Can play centre midfielder too if needed.
46 - Climax Martins: Promoted from the youth team purely because of his name.

Fingers crossed for a successful season!

Season 18/19 - First International Management Job


In the Indian League, the season lasts from January to May and the other seven months are spent looking at new players etc. However, this Summer, the pass the time I was given the opportunity to manage the Indian Under 23 side at the Asian Games. In the future, I want to be the manager of the full Indian international side so I was happy to be given the opportunity and it also improved my reputation slightly too.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/vcvYf5QcoacYGsLB5SN62ibhY5LEqrsoWNB09Uhj.png


The squad mainly consisted of my youngsters from Mumbai FC which was a little bit bias from myself but overall, I was happy with how we did. We were expected to get battered every match. We had a goal disallowed late on before Iran's second goal which was painful. Japan scored another late winner before we battered Kyrgyzstan with a great win.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/EZoCQ3NkQt0IK7jFYkhFgXFJds1YpQiOqPlOE0uq.png


Due the the Under 23 side not having another game for a while, I was relieved of my duties soon after the competition but it was a good experience. Next up hopefully the Indian job will be my next international job.
