Then I may be about to disappoint you....
After a successful debut season with Khouribga I have been offered a move to the Bolivian Premier League with Aurora FC, Given that OCK are nearly £1M in debt and I have been unable to find suitable players to strenghen my paper thin squad for the upcoming season in which the board expect me to compete for Botola, The African Champions League and the Coupe du Trone I have decided to accept Aurora's offer.
Despite the boards expectation of avoiding relegation, Aurora are actually competing in the Copa Sudamericana, South America's equivalent of the Europa League. So I will get to experience continental competition this season despite leaving OCK, They have already played the first leg of the qualification round, losing 1-0 away to Paraguayan side Cerro Porteno although I'm fairly confident we can turn that around.
A nice big stadium (and colorful) although that pitch will need sorting out.
My initial squad isn't bad but I think some wheeling and dealing is required if I am to turn Aurora into title contenders over the next two or three seasons.
So then, From Morocco to Bolivia, I doubt any manager has ever made that jump before, especially an Englishman who doesn't speak a lick of Spanish. Let's see how it works out.

Yeah, unfortunately we came up short on D-Day, Going down 1-0 in our game as Rabat won 2-0 to clinch the Botola title. Still as you say second place isn't bad at all for my first season in this strange foreign desert country. We qualified for the Champions League which I'm looking forward to competing in so I turned down Raja Casablanca's offer, it should bring in some much needed cash as we're nearly £500k overdrawn at the moment.
Runners up medals in both the league and the national cup this season, It's a bit disappointing to fail to lift either but still, Perhaps next season will put that right.

So the 2013 Botola title race has come down to the final day of the season. FAR Rabat hold all the cards at the moment, They are three points ahead of us, However they face a tough tie with third place Wydad Casablanca in their curtain call. We have the superior goal difference so should we win and Rabat lose to Wydad we shall snatch the title from under their noses.
We face fourth placed Mas Fes to whom we lost back in December, Obviously only a win will do for us if we are to take the crown for the first time since 2007. We have already secured second place in Botola and thus will be competing in the African Champions League next season which is fantastic as the boards target when they approached me last year was just to achieve a reasonable mid-table place. However it may be the case that I won't be the man to lead Khouribga into that campaign...
Nearly two months after I applied for the position Raja finally got back to me, Conveniently just days before we played them. I want to see how things pan out in the title race before I decide on my future, But that transfer budget coupled with the challenge of restoring a fallen giant makes Raja an alluring prospect.

By Swansea or Chelsea?

I'm going for 2-0 Villa, sending them through on away goals to a final against Swansea.

Again, apologies for not updating in my usual monthly style but I've been rather hooked in this save and have flown through several months.
After losing the Coupe du Trone final in November we went on a magnificent run of games, winning 3-0, 6-0 and 8-0, Taking us to the pinnacle of Botola, However just as we hit the top our form dies in true FM fashion, seeing us slide all the way down to seventh.
We have since fought our way back into the title picture, we're currently six points behind FAR Rabat with severn games left to play, can we catch up? I think so, we play FAR before the end of the season in a crucial match for us. Even if we don't win the title I'm fairly confident we will finish within the top three and qualify for either the Champions League or Confederations cup.
I have two new players to unveil;
A bargain for just £16k, He will easily become one of Botola's top goalkeepers.
Another Sudanese international who has made a great start to his career in Morocco, scoring six goals in seven games. Not bad for £40k
In other news I've applied to take the vacant Raja Casablanca job at the end of the season, Raja are Morocco's most successful side with eleven Botola wins and three Champions League's, They possess the sort of resources I need to establish myself at one of Africa's most prestigious sides.

I didn't today thankfully as I wouldn't have fancied working it wet clothes. I did the other day on the way home though, i didn't see a ditch whilst walking a cross a field as the snow had covered it and sunk into it.

Not so much the forum but resetting post counts caused a lot of regulars to disappear. Their post counts shouldn't really have made a difference but they do.

I'm surprised by how much I have enjoyed this save so far, My team is doing well and it's really caught hold of my imagination, hence me zipping through three months without realizing!
We've been performing admirably in both Botola and especially the Coupe du Trone in which we marched all the way to the final, albeit to an unhappy conclusion.
Losing the final on penalties was heartbreaking, collecting my first piece of silverware after just three months would have been amazing, as would qualifying for the Confederations cup which we would have if we had won.
Still, I'm not too down, It's still early days in my career with OCK and hopefully there will be more chances to get my hands on trophies.
In the league we've also been playing well and are just two points behind El Jadida whom we are seeking revenge on following the cup final defeat. Botola is so tight at the moment we are going to have to keep our run going throughout the entire season if we are to claim a continental place.
Striker Abbas Rassou has been in sparkling form, leading our line with ten goals thus far.
I must be doing a good job because I've had foreign clubs stand up and take notice;
I obviously turned down both offers as I'm committed to Khouriba at least until the end of the season, But it's always nice to be wanted!

I'm very encouraged by our pre-season campaign, a 100% record would seem to indicate my squad is raring to go ahead of my first season in Morocco. Indeed this pre-season has not so much been about team building as getting to know my players, their personality's, strengths and weaknesses on the pitch and learning what my strongest first XI is.
My first game ending 10-1 was a particularly affluent spring of optimism. Our Coupe du Trone campaign began after that decimation of EJS, After going two up early on things were looking rosy, only for us to become complacent in the second half and allow the lead to slip. Thankfully I was able to rally the troops in extra time as we reinstated our two goal advantage to eventually run out 4-2 winners.
After four more friendly victories we headed into a second round game against fellow Botola side Kenitra where we came from a goal down to lead 2-1, only to allow that lead to slip again, It looked as if we were going to extra time again until Jamal Triki's 96th minute winner to save us an extra half hour, This win has seen us advance into the quarter finals where we will take on Botola-2 side Ittihad Riadi de Tanger away, I see this trophy as an excellent chance to collect some silverware in my very first season in Africa.
Transferwise I have been more busy with outgoing moves than incoming;
£185k is a nice amount for several reserve players whom I didn't think gave much weight to the squad, These players leaving also makes my wage bill look much healthier than when I arrived two months ago.
Here's a look at my new players;
Signed on a season long loan as we didn't have any established left backs.
Snapped up for £9k from Senegalese side ASC Diaraf, A good creative midfielder who will slot straight into my starting line up.
Another full back who will be my first choice at right back, signed on free transfer.
So the league season is looming large on the horizon, I would like to add another striker to the squad but other than that I'm happy with my squad and fairly confident we can qualify for continental competition this season. Wish me luck!
