Thanks man!!
Yeah, thinking of possibly snagging him, although he does get playing time for Castilla, which is solid.
My hope exactly!!

March 2017 – FC Krasnodar
Russian Premier Division
What a month..ups and downs...
Opened up with a quality away win at Rostov. Dominated the game and shored up the 3 points with the Jóhannsson's goal in the last 10 minutes.
Scraped through against bogey team Volga NN. We dominated the game, like we do most, but almost didn't get all 3 points.
Tough away game in Zenit. Didn't expect much but we gave a really good account of ourselves. Had an equalizer cleared off the line in the 91st minute.
The next two games, against Spartak Moscow & Terek we classic FM bullshit. Fucking wrecked them both, should have scored more, and then Spartak equalized in the 93rd minute, and Terek in the 91st. GOD DAMMIT!
Well, it looks like CSKA Moscow may take it, so we need to shore up 2nd!

Holy shit are we amongst it now boys!
20 year old (real) Macedonian on Real Madrid Castilla....I'm excited for his progression.

February 2017 – FC Krasnodar
Friendlies
Some quality friendlies by my assman to get back in form.
No league games in February for anyone, same.
In:
Utsiev is a decent fullback. Needed more Russians.
Out:
Really annoyed to let promising CD/DM Bryzgalov go to league rivals Zenit, but he was bitching, so whatever. He had been a performer for us as well.

N/A
No games in the cold Russian winter.
Russian Premier Division on 01/02/2017
No league games in January for anyone, so steady as she goes.
In:
2 promising Macedonian youth players I actually bought at the beginning of the season, transfer just couldn't go through until now. And also, current Real Madrid prospect, the young Brazilian Lucas Silva, who looks to be a quality DM/MC Season total incoming transfer money.
Out:
Let a bunch of young terrible Russians in my lower squads go for free. Pomerko had played poorly for me and wanted more playing time so I told him he could go, same with Sigurðsson. Ari is an interesting one, he had been playing fine for me and just picked up Russian citizenship...but he had previously played for Spartak and when they bid I negotiated it up to something I thought he wasn't worth and they took it...so that's fine. Season outgoing transfer money.

2016 Matches
A mixed year. Poor results earlier in the year, but finished strong!
Stevica Ristic with an amazing year at the age of 33! Humorously enough the CB's Abdurahimi and Ibrainmi are both attcking mids/wingers.

Okay. Winter break. Injuries can recover
Solid win in our only December match away at Tom. 16 year old Alexey Tkachev bagged a brace on his debut during this injury crisis in what could prove a pivotal game in getting our season back on track.
Okay okay....we can do this!

November 2016 – FC Krasnodar
Russian Premier Division
Wow. Okay. Injuries...suck.
Started off the Thanksgiving month of 2016 with a deserved point away against Lokomotiv Moscow. My boy Ari coming in in the clutch for me.
Next game was a FUCKING SHOCKER. a 2 nil HOME loss to 10th place Mordovia. I mean. you guys can actually fathom my frustration being FM players haha.
Again, a shit HOME loss against Dinamo Moscow in a game where even though we didn't deserve more than a point, they got the winner in the 9th minute, which is always infuriating. UGH!
Wow that fall...

2016 November World Cup Qualifier & Friendly
5-2 at home to Liechtenstein. I can dig it I played a little cheese tactic, and both of their goals were pretty poor, so I can enjoy this result.
Well we are amongst it I suppose. For 2nd that is. Perhaps the luck will come us.
Enjoyable home victory against Armenia

October 2016 – FC Krasnodar
Russian Premier Division & Russian Cup
Decent month I suppose.
Started out with a hard fought away draw against CSKA Moscow, who seem to be our main title contenders at this point in the season.
A quality home victory against Krylja Sovetov, good to get back to winning ways.
We followed up this match with one against the same opponent in the Russian Cup, however I played a weakened rotated squad and we frustratingly lost. This game was just fucking garbage.
After the frustration of crashing out of the cup, we picked up a quality home victory against Rubin, who are perennially in Europe.
And then again, the inconsistencies...a loss away to Kuban is just unacceptable. I gave the team the business after this one, and it may have cost some people their future appearances at the club.
Ended the month crushing last place Amkar at home. Just dominated them. Solid.
We are in it. We are fucking in it!

2016 October World Cup Qualifiers
I knew Austria were going to be tough, but to wreck us like this at home maybe shooting for just giving a solid account of ourselves during this qualifying section.
Well would you look at that, turned right around and took down Albania in Tirana! The match stats make it seem like we didn't deserve it, and granted our Kepper played well, but we were the ones dictating the game and had 3 or 4 clear cut chances to their 0.
Looking to just be competitive I suppose

September 2016 – FC Krasnodar
Russian Premier Division & Russian Cup
Uhhh...this is a strange old game. I mean, I know we are at home, but Zenit still have Danny and Hulk and the like, and yet we crushed them. Hey, not saying I don't want it every game
Drew at home to Spartak in the next match in a game we should have taken all 3. THe pegged us back immediately for both of our goals even though we dominated everything.
2nd Division Volga Uljanovsk took us to extra time At least we got the victory but I went into my team in the dressing room after the match.
Again, almost dropped points against lowly Ural away. The stat line to this game is retardedly in our favor and yet they almost stole two points from us. Need to sort out something I suppose, finishing training perhaps.
Looking great!
Well this game has progressed decently quick.

2016 September World Cup Qualifiers
Away in Amsterdam against the Netherlands was always going to be how few goals we can allow. I honestly went at them knowing this, so even though we got wrecked, we gave an account of ourselves against one of the big boys.
Wow. Barely knicked it and to be honest didn't deserve it. I did not respect Bulgaria as much as I should have and it nearly cost me all 3 points; I would have settled for a point during the match had you offered me it, and yet Ristic who was having a quality year at the ripe old age of 33 came back into the team and gave the people of Makedonija a victory!
This is going to be much more of a challenge than I gave it credit for at the draw.

July & August 2016 – FC Krasnodar
Russian Premier Division & Euro Cup Qualifying
Started our competitive season at home against Albanian side Partizani in the Euro Cup Third Round Qualifying. Solid victory.
Two away games followed that victory, with a league draw in our opener for that competition against Dinamo Moscow and a second leg victory in Tirana against Partizani.
Two insane home league victories againt Tom and Rostov followed the Partizani match. I mean these games were ridiculous. It seems my team has not missed a step and taken my tactics sprinting. A hilarious Wanderson penalty hat-trick was the decider against Tom.
A decent result with a 1-1 draw at home against Hertha Berlin in the Euro Cup Playoff was our next match. In reality we struggled in this one and hopefully we can turn it around in the 2nd away leg.
Another silly result in the league with a 6-2 away thrashing of Volga NN. I even played a rotated side in this match and players like Laborde are trying to stake their claim for a more regular start.
An loss away in Berlin against Hertha Berlin have seen us crash out of the Euro Cup before we were even in it. In reality they outplayed us and as frustrating as it is, this will give us a chance to possibly finish in a automatic qualifying league position.
We followed up this devastating loss with another quality league result, a 3-0 away victory against Terek.
We have started incredibly strong, yet notice I have not played anyone in the 7 except for Dinamo Moscow, so the true test(s) will be against the big boys.
A Russian CB for some Russian rotational options and Guilavogui who was languishing in Atlético "B", thus allowing me to snag him for peanuts.I mean look how good he is for just $1.6M

Pre season
Decent enough preseason. You guys know I let the assman do all these things
Transfers through 01/08/2016
In:
Quality signing in Gabriel Santos, upon signing him I looked up and saw he is one of the signings on FM15 similar to Balanta and others. I haven't even played enough to know all of the cheese players! Kocoski is a young Macedonian forward who I've signed to try and build him up for my national side. Suk-Young is the quality QPR LB that was available for cheap after their relegation, and it was a must buy position for me going into this season. Ramires was transfer listed at Chelsea and I think I got a great deal; MC was also a must buy position for me so it worked out well. Agyei was a young regen Ghanaian player, who was at the Chicago Academy, that I had actually had my eye one since I was at Liberty; followed him when I was at Montreal and snagged him just to see what he could become! Mojsov and Stankov are both Macedonian defenders who I think I can develop into decent players; Although they are older, Krasnodar's facilities can probably bump them up some.
Out:
The frees and players sold in June were all already gone before I got there. Mamaev wanted to go back to CSKA and was bitching, so I let him go. Loaned out Micanovic and Kocoski to get them some first team playing time.
I didn't even do this, must have been in the process of being set up when I hired in. neat though!

I know right! I definitely will be bringing in some Macedonians! Two seasons of regens means their might be some class 16/17 year Olds in the Macedonian leagues.
I have no idea! If I'm being honest I thought I was signing for Kuban Krasnodar not FC Krasnodar...

Opened June with a scraped draw at home to Real Salt Lake. Injuries and international duty are hurting us.
Wow! Amazing victory away in Seattle. We actually played really well and their goal was in the dying minutes.
Another draw from an even game where we scraped by against FC Dallas. Tough in Texas but we take a point away!
Amazing victory in Utah with our second meeting against Real Salt Lake of this month. We had our players back and our quality showed! Our big buy Gustavo Ramírez finally healed from his broken hip after being out for 6 months came on and made an immediate impact! Looking forward to his play.
Quality!
Blegh..
Could this be our Russian home, finally?

European Championship 2016
Welp... At least we got a goal, and from Mr. Macedonia himself Goran Pandev!
Crushed us. England used their fast hybrid winger/strikers to crush us with their pace.
Honestly I expected more from this game. I guess the team was frustrated to be going out...so they decided to try and kill the Danes.
Well it certainly wasn't a tournament of quality performances, but it was one to remember! Macedonia's first European Championship ever! Excited to try and qualify for their first World Cup!

Unfortunate, but I believe I know why I haven't been getting the job despite the interviews, and it still won't change how I do it.
