#122196 The Dafuge Challenge
#122192 Regrets and Redemption
As it keeps happening on the same day I guess it's proberly down to the editor data I'm using. so annoyng as I was only a few games off my 100th match.

An unbeaten month, although we are still dropping points in games we should be winning. still we are only six points off the top at this point s the teams above us must also be suffering with the same inconsistncies we are, we are far from out the title race yet as we edge over the half way point of the season.
Despite our unpredictable league form, we are still making headway in the Challenge cup, advancing through to the last eight and in with good shout of landing some silverware in my opinion;
I'm hoping to meet Kwara in the final!
An injury to top scorer Bello Korfamata has ruled him out until the end of the season so I have swooped for Tranmere Rovers's Ivorian forward Jean-Louie Akpa-Akrpo to fill his boots, costing us a cool £87k, Strong and hard working, hopefully he will provide all the fire-power we need to get back on track in the league.

#121872 The Pentagon Challenge
The pentagon challenge has been around a long time now, but only those with the patience of a saint and the managerial skill of a god have managed to complete it.
All you have to do is collect all five champions league trophy’s in one save after beginning unemployed with a Sunday league reputation, this may sound straight forward and in theory it is, but in practice it could take 20+ years to check off all five.
It's up to you where you start off, I recommend downloading plenty of additional leagues and loading as many as your computer can handle to give yourself as many options as possible as you go along.
For masochists out there, you can make the pentagon even more difficult by extending it to a Hexagon, you will need to find editor data for it somewhere but it's possible to also compete in the OFC Champions League if you download New Zealand or any other Oceania nation.
You might also consider an international Hexagon by collecting all six continental championships, or even a double Hexagon with both club and international titles on your radar!

As with last month, we accumulated a set of results that most sides within the NPL would be happy with, however the pressure is starting to build from an impatient board and fan base as we suffered a heavy defeat to fellow title competitors Dolphins, making it two defeats out of two in meetings with the other two thirds of the 'big three'
My job status in now set to insecure so I need to get us winning consistently again or my time at the Sani Abacha stadium is going to be short lived, all of June's games are against sides in the bottom half of the table so it is imperative that we pick up as many points as possible next month.
Away from the league we have been drawn to face the Warri Wolves in the last sixteen of the challenge cup, a tough game but I feel confident we can advance into the quarter finals from and from there who knows? collecting some silverware is obviously a major ambition of mine, and the cup would ensure that we qualify for the Confederations cup next year at the very least, but of course our sights are really set on the Champions League.
The Musa Buhari situation has now been resolved with the want away winger set to join Serbian outfit Rad Beograd for a cool £425k which will give our bank balance a nice boost;
I've already re-invested some of that money to snare his replacement from Egyptian side Wadia Degla;
Emmanuel is actually re-signing for Kano after departing for the Egyptian league three years ago on free transfer, he made 43 appearances and scored seven times for us in his previous spell.

April proved a rather frustrating month after our flawless start to the season as we only managed two wins from seven league games, although there was only the one defeat in there which was to champions Heartland, had I still been Kwara boss this would have been a very good month, however now 'm expected to be pushing for the title and we simply cannot afford so many dropped points even at this early stage.
As a result our league position has taken a bit of a tumble;
Heartland are almost certainly going to overtake us, however I can't see the form of the top two lasting for too much longer, which should set us up in a three horse race with Heartland and Dolphins over the remainder of the campaign.
I'm having to deal with a rumble of discontent within the camp at the moment, winger Musa Buhari is unhappy that I rebuffed the advances of Egyptian side Al-Ahly for his services, after a heated face to face meeting he has decided he can no longer work with me and is seeking a move away. I won't tolerate any BS from my players and he is free to leave, as long as his new suiters are willing to meet my valuation of the 21 year old. otherwise he can damn well keep doing what he's paid to do for us and be grateful for it, or else rot in the reserves.

My first month in charge of Kano could not have gone any better, five wins out of five, including two games where we hit the opposition for six, although it's early days at the moment we look as if we could be serious title contenders if the team mantains it's current momentum.
As you can see, I enjoyed my return to Kwara immensley as we thumped my former emloyers 6-0 away from home, It's hard to beleive now that less than six months ago I lead Kwara to a shock 3-2 victory against Kano!
If not for Enugu being even more emphatic in the goalscoring department we would be top, however I don't expect them to stay in the ttle race long, they are a mid table club at best.
Our main title rivals will be Dolphins and Heartland, Dolphins have already suffered a couple of defeats but champions Heartland have a 100% record and have two games in hand so they could well be rght up there with us soon.
Pre-season went well with only our own under-20's side able to resist our awesome attacking power, which I take as a sign of great encouragement for the future!
In other news, we have announced a partnership with Norwegian giants Rosenborg which is worth a cool £1.28M per season, securing our finacial future for years to come!
#121299 The Global Hero Challenge
In theory this is a very straight forward challenge, simply you have to unlock the six national hero achievements on steam, to do this you must guide a team from the bottom division of Brazil, England, France, Italy, Scotland and Spain, all the way to the top tier.
You can use any reputation you like (although real men use Sunday league of course!) and begin with any club in the bottom division of these countries, if you want to make things even more challenging you could adopt a nationalist approach and only sign players from the country you are currently working in.
Good luck and enjoy!
P.S - As the French CFA isn't playable from the start you have two options, either leave it as the game will still give you the achievement for taking a club from the National division to Ligue1, or if you are a masochist you can enable play in the CFA by being relegated into it, as a short-cut you could holiday to the final day of season and take control of a side about to be relegated from the National which will allow you to go down without being sacked as the board won't judge you on that seasons performance.

As I embark upon my third season in the Nigerian Premier League I wanted to take a while to look over my new charges. The Kano Pillars are Nigeria's top side having won the NPL three times in the last eight years and are also ranked in the top twenty of the CAF club rankings. they possess a healthy fan base, averaging attendances of over 16,000 at the Sani Abacha stadium, a bit of a step up from 300 people at Kwara!
Kano are also Nigeria's wealthiest club with a valuation of over half a billion Nigerian Naira (£2M) which will enable me to build a squad of my own design for the coming seasons.
Last year the club suffered a poor season and finished well below expectations in seventh place, meaning they are not qualified for continental competition in 2015/16, the board however does expect us to challenge for the championship, in order to facilitate this I have already brought in a few new faces;
John, Segun and Philemon all follow me from Kwara to form the heart of the Kano midfield for a combined total of £71k, it certainly helps settle to a club if you already have some players your familiar with.
Also joining the Kwara trio are;
Promise was a transfer arranged by the previous manager from Niger Tornadoes, however he does look a decent ball winner, Efe, who joins from Danish club Aalesund, will hopefully breath some creativity into the side with his passing and dribbling ability’s.
And here's a look at the squad as a whole;
Goalkeepers
Possibly the weakest area of the squad Oladele Ajiboye is a decent shot stopper and Adebayo Nnanna will likely become our #1 eventually, Yusuf however is nothing more than a back-up for Ajiboye.
Defence
A good blend of experience and youth here, Ado Ali and Uche Oguchi will be my initial pairing in the heart of the defence, however talented youngsters Sunday Ajala and Adebayo Sani will no doubt push them hard for a place as time goes on.
Midfield
The scene of great upheaval this summer with four new signings in the middle of the park, but again there is a nice mix of young and experienced players here. My former Kwara pairing of Philemon Daniel and John Junior will act as box to box midfielders with Promise Onuh protecting the defence in the holding role.
Wingers
Unlike at Kwara where I employed wing-backs, I now have some decent attacking wingers to work with and as such will be utilising 4-5-1 in order to make the most of them, in games where we are heavy favourites I may change them to inside forwards in order to increase our attacking threat.
Strikers
With 4-5-1 only needing one striker I decided I only need three forwards on the books, which could possibly be a mistake should be suffer with injury’s and suspensions, time will tell. All three are proven goal scorers, however Bello Korfmata who scored 26 times last season will lead the line to begin with.
So that's the team, the season kicks off at home to the newly promoted Bendel Insurance FC before the daunting prospect of returning to Kwara four days later! The target is to qualify for the African Champions League, preferably as Champions!

Cheers dude.
Hopefully, although for my first season I'm just aiming for the top four in order to qualify for continental football and take it from there.
#120309 Regrets and Redemption
So my eighteen months in charge of Kwara is at an end as we finish tenth for the second consecutive season, a run of three defeats in August scuppered any faint hope we were clinging to of sneaking into the continental places, although I'm reasonably happy with how my time with United has gone, I gt them playing some nice football with one of the youngest squads in the NPL and brought in a few good signings to bolster the ranks which should set them in good stead in the coming seasons as I head to Kano.
Baba Sule continued to be immesnse throughout, netting 25 goals during the campaign and I may well try and take him with me to Kano as well as one or two others, my assistant Paul Ashworth has already agreed to accompany me on the 400 mile journey eastwards to what is one of Nigeria's biggest clubs, three times champions Kano who had a bad season this year, missing out n their minimum expectation of qualifying for the Champions League, my target is to return them to that cmpetitin at the first time of asking.
#120019 Off the post!
I realise that every so often teams do get unlucky like that but this happens in every single match.

The Sani Abacha stadium awaits for Kwara United manager Richard Beale
Kwara United were today rocked by the news that manager Richard Beale has agreed to take charge of Globacom Premier League rival Kano Pillars for next season.
Beale, 27 has been at the helm at the Kwara State stadium for less than eighteen months after taking charge of the Afonja Warriors in July last year, the Englishman however has been on the radar of Sunshine Stars as well as the Pillars in the last few months with the Akure side making an approach for Beale last month which was rebuffed by the Birmingham born manager who has been widly praised for establishing an attractive possesion based style of play in Kwara as well as earning plaudits for allowing younger players to shine in a league that is dominated by the 30+
Kano currently sit fourth in the NPL, fourteen points behind leaders Heatland FC despite pre-season hopes of mounting a title challenege, leading to the dismisal of Solomon Ogbeide last week wheras Beale's United side are tenth, riding the wave of an impressive run of results.
It is beleived that Beale is keen to take his compatriot assistant Paul Ashworth with him to his new job, it is thus far unclear as to whether fomer Skonto Riga manager and Kwara academy director Ashworth is intrested in following to Kano.
