Dan - Comments

Thanks Dyrim! We are still in contention and just need to try and keep it going! I do worry about the Portugal sides too but hopefully we are good enough to beat them. Thanks mate!

Thanks loscules! We had to beat Horsens and luckily we did! Our Europa League group stage is very tough and it will cost us I feel.

Bigbillzy I will start adding screenshots and links to bigger players at the club or transfers coming into the side.

Miimaa, alot had changed but we just carry on life as if it hasn't! Thanks mate, the Kobenhavn job is the best I could dream for!

Thanks Benniewijs, feel we have a good chance to progress too.

Alec it was a move I needed thats for sure!

Thanks Cheik It Out, appreciate the comments now and again from you, pleased to see you still take the time to catch up with it! I wish I had the chance to stick around at some clubs especially Hajduk and Cese Buredovjice

We have made an absolute storming start to domestic football and life in Europe this year so far. With September giving us another six games to compete with we could only hope to keep our good form going however knew it couldn't last forever! But we would give it our best shot!


The month started at home as we welcomed OB and a poor game from both sides saw the game end up all square. Both made chances but neither took it and this saw it end as at started with a dull nil nil draw.

The Europa League group didn't start brilliant. We welcomed Vit. Guimaraes and slipped to a two one defeat. We fell behind in the first half early on before we conceded a second in injury time and looked awful. Luckily we clawed one back moments before the end through Rodriguez but we couldn't snatch anything.

We stretched to three games without a win as we welcomed FC Midtylland and drew three all as both defences looked to be asleep. We led after just ten minutes through Morel from the spot before he added his and our second in the seventeenth minute. We then conceded twice before the break and once after the break and saw us slip three two behind. We managed to save a point as Rodriguez netted late on.

As we traveled to lower leagued side Nordvest we managed to return to winning ways with a huge victory. Azuma put us infront after just three minutes before doubling his and our tally two minutes later. We were sailing but couldn't add a third before the break. After the restart we continued to dominate and added two more goals, firstly Sjogren netted before Morel netted to secure an easy win.

We traveled to Brondby and we managed to beat the former league leaders. They led in the first half and looked good until the restart where our players came out rallying! Sjogren pulled us level ten minutes after the restart and secured the win when Morel once again found the net.

We ended the month with a trip to England and to face Tottenham in the Europa League group. Once again it wasn't to be our night. Tottenham ran riot and led two nil early on before Morel netted his fifth goal in four games. Tottenham added another two but we fell to a second defeat.


The league table after ten games looks like this and we still fail to sit top of the table which is a slight worry. Not the best of months on the pitch for us saw us stay three points behind lead leaders Lyngby. Two points clear of third and fourth place AaB and OB whilst the current league champions, Brondby sit way off the pace as they continue to struggle down in seventh place this season.


A dire start to the Europa League group stages saw us slip straight to the bottom of the group and become the only side in the group without a point yet. The club I was expecting to slump away, Portuguese side Vit. Guimaraes have won both games this season already whilst BATE and Tottenham both have three points which I will hope we can catch them up over the next few games.

Great addition buddy! nice to see you swiftly moving up the table!

England will be a huge country and there will be so many heart breaks there!

Looks like your in a similar situation with Hajduk as I was when I took over! Still in the cup but way off the league pace!

Your squad looks good going by the report, could do with a new keeper if you find one! Fantastic start especially knocking sheff ieldwednesday out the cup!

Brilliant so far guys!

Those cup draw articles are amazing, look like they took a while too!

Grea league finish, looks like you could catch us up at this rate! Especially with Shedender dawdling somewhere

Well done avoiding relegation pal!

Great seeing you crack 100 poitns especially on the back of a previous promotion! Top work matey! Bring on the next season! Non league now to football league!

Not being able to play international management on FMC unless you buy it! Fucking buy it after spending over thirty quid on the game for the last however many years!

And then you buy it and you can't use it on your current game, you have to start a new one, pointless!

Not completely meant for this section but with the thraed being FM13 based I thought it was suitable to post here.

Just a little question to find out what the longest 'PM' thread you have going with another member on this site? Why I hear you ask, because me and Shedender are now on page 56 of our PM thread which is understandable as we've been negotiating ideas for a thread and now discuss day to day activities constantly on what has been happening!

So can anyone beat fifty six pages?

Knew you'd follow in my footsteps, however you'd never live up to my name! Very nice budgets to work with matey! bet you go on to win that cup now!

Near time that jumped ship I believe mate? This form looks rotten!

Brilliant mate! Never looked like throwing that away top work!

twelve point gap at the top of the table now! Really proving your title credentials!

Funny enough Shedender I face them this month! A huge game it will be! We are at one of the top Danish sides so should be where we are in the league!

Dyrim I was tempted to throw our European run and not get to the groups, but its a big financial boost for us!

Thanks Bigbillzy! It took almost a year to find a job and then I had two in the space of one hundred days of starting each!

Thanks Benniewijs! It could of hardly gone better!

____________________________________________________

We had made an absolute storming start to the league campaign and the Europa League campaign was going very well and to plan at the same time. However this month would test our fitness and flexibility as we faced a huge month. August saw us go into action in seven matches with us competing in the SuperLiga and the Europa League qualifiers as we searched for the group stage.


We began the month with the second leg of the Europa League third qualifying round where we picked up a draw which was enough to see us advance, We conceded moments before the break before we leveled in the seventy eighth minute as Morel snatched a goal to send us through with a two one win.

We returned home and welcomed AaB where we recorded a four nil victory to continue impressing. We led after just seven minutes through an own goal before doubling our lead eleven minutes before the break through Morel. Second half we continued to dominate and a fine double from Biknes saw us run out easy winners and continued our fine unbeaten run this season.

A second home game on the bounce didn't bide quite as well for us as we welcomed second place Lyngby. It was a real battle between us two clubs which saw us finish level at nil nil.

My first defeat in charge of the club came as we traveled to Norway to face Bann in the Europa League playoffs. We conceded in the twenty seventh minute and went two down ten minutes later as we proved to be struggling. Luckily we grabbed an away goal late on through Beck and ended up losing out two one.

As we traveled to the leagues bottom side Esbjerg, the side I turned down last year we were awful and stretched to three without a win. We were behind for the majority of the game and fortunately only snatched a draw one minute from time when Rodriguez netted for us to steal a point.

Luckily as we welcomed Norwiegen side Bann and restored our winning ways to come back to claim all three points. Morel gave us the lead after two minutes before Hedegaard doubled our lead. Before the break we made it three nil with Hedegaard grabbing his second. We conceded one in the second half and this saw us ease into the group stages with a four three victory.

We ended the month back on winning terms as we traveled to former employers AC Horsens and grabbed a very nice victory to get one over on them. A poor first half was brought to life in the second half as we took the lead nine minutes after the restart when Rodriguez netted before doubling our lead through Morel from the spot. We were gifted a third penalty four minutes from time and we guided that home through Benhenni as we rounded up a three nil victory.


We have lost the top spot due to us drawing too many already this season. We've drawn three from our opening seven games but whilst remaining unbeaten Lyngby go top with a defeat. Lyngby sit a point clear from us in second place as we sit two clear of Norsjaelland and three clear of fourth and fifth Brondy and AaB respectively. We just need to pick up a few more wins.


Our Europa League group has been drawn and it will be a tough one to advance from! With the likes of Tottenham along with BATE they will both provide competition at home and away! Whilst I hope we are good enough to beat Vit. Guimaraes. We should advance from the group however with any luck.

Your players seem hot shots, important you tie them down for a couple years yet! Very good unbeaten run, a few careless draws creeping in but still performing well above expectations

Thats not the prettiest starts to the league season I've seen! Sure it won't be long till you get them firing!

Dyrim it was a strong pre season for us and we made the right signings I feel, We are short in a couple areas but I hope we can make it count and just stay fit! Denmark won't be easy to complete with three league titles and just one cup available!

Shedender I took a leaf out of your book and left! After just eighty days, I feel awful haha! I'm sure Kobenhavn will be a success without me so I just need to make sure they are with me!

____________________________________________________

So here it was, after spending just eighty days in charge of AC Hoorsens I now approach my first game in charge of Kobenhavn and by the end of this month I would of already been here for forty four days! But back to life on the pitch, following a good pre season with some top signings we now head into the competitive season with six games, three in the Europa League qualifying rounds and three league fixtures.


Our first competitive game of my reign saw us travel to Armenia where we faced Ulisses in the Europa League second qualifying round. We made a storming start with a five one victory. The first coming after six minutes through new boy Rodriguez before another new boy in Morel doubled our lead. We were three up by the break as a third debutant in Wanner made it three. After the break we added a fourth through Hedegaard before Ulisses netted one but we added a fifth and were all but through as Saeed netted six minutes from time.

The league season started with a tricky trip to AGF but the players weren't phased by that and after traveling back from Armenia we still battled to a two nil victory. Azuma gave us the lead after twenty four minutes to kickstart our league campaign before a goal three minutes into injury time Morel wrapped up the win when he headed home confidently to secure a two nil victory.

My first home game in charge saw us welcome Ulisses in the second leg of the Europa League second qualifying round and it was another comfortable victory. Rodriguez continued his fine start as he guided us into the lead when he netted after twenty eight minutes left and we added a second with half an hour on the clock through Morel's third in as many games as we sailed through seven one on aggregate.

My first home league game in charge of Kobenhavn saw us face a tricky game welcoming Nordsjaelland. We were ahead after twenty five minutes through Wanner as he claimed his second of the season before doubling our lead when Grujicic nodded home a corner three minutes later. Things changed in the second half and Norsjaelland added a quickfire double which left us on level terms, until the eighty fifth minute when Bugge netted low and hard to wrap up a fantastic three two victory.

The first leg of the Europa League third qualifying round saw us welcome B Jerusalem and we narrowly advanced with a victory to take into the second leg. It was to be just a one nil victory which came after just eighteen minutes when Azuma netted for us.

We ended the month with our only 'down note' of the month as we traveled to Viborg and picked up just a single point. We were behind early on in the first half and struggled to fight back. We were lucky to equalise as an own goal went our way from a corner to earn a point.


A brilliant unbeaten league campaign and Europa League campaign so far for us with the first month going to plan. The league has seen us go straight to the top and already open up the smallest of gaps so far. With seven points from a possible nine we sit just a single point ahead of three teams including Nordsjaelland, Brondby and Lygnby. We have made the start we needed to!

Apart from the defeat in the cup against Aldershot a great month, you don't need cup runs at the moment, just focus on maintaining and improving that lead you've got!

I can't wait till others get into Denmark and further Benniewijs! Especially England! Its a bit boring being so far ahead on my own!

The left side is a little weak as we both noted Dyrim but we are definitely looking to improve that this summer! Our goalkeeper isn't too prone to injury luckily so hopefully we won't have to rely on him. haha even adding little puns on my thread you hero!

____________________________________________________

Its been a very interesting twenty three days in charge to date. We have had a busy summer and I really feel I have produced some great transfers to date and this really allows me to feel confident ahead of the season. Its been a busy summer along with some good friendly results before we head into the Europa League qualifiers and the opening games of the league later this month.


We have seen seven players leave the club this summer with three leaving on free transfers as they are no good whilst four players left for fees this summer. We only made seven hundred and seventy five thousand pounds this summer which isn't great considering what we spent the other way. Firstly we signed a new left back in the names of Adams for one point three million before a strong central midfielder in Wannar joined for just under four million. We also added quality on the left wing in the name of Rodriguez from PSG on a season long loan for twenty eight thousand pounds and a new striker Morel for one hundred thousand pounds also on a season long loan.


This has left our squad looking like this with a huge improvement on the left side to make the squad as a whole look very, very strong for the division and hopefully it clicks immediately. We still don't have a backup goalkeeper but now have a strong looking back line and keeper with plenty of rotation available along the back line. Whilst our midfield is a little short in numbers, in quality it is not as we have versatile players for across the whole board.Our new Argentine striker in Morel should certainly liven things up.


The finances at the club are still extremely strong with the balance only down five million which is what we roughly spent on transfers this summer as we still hold over sixteen million pounds in the club. No transfer budget left and we are now spending one hundred and eighty nine thousand pounds of the one hundred and ninety one thousand pounds allocated for wages with just two thousand pounds spare which I won't touch.


We only had time for four friendlies this summer and these were crammed into just ten days as we prepared for the Europa League clashes and the league starting later the month. We began the summer with a four one win before having a shock defeat. We pulled back up our feet as we won our next two games to end the summer on a high. Two clean sheets along with ten goals scored for us. A very good summer!

This site is the best you will find mate, its good seeing someone else settled down on the forum and enjoying it!

Fantastic work in the BSP, I know there isn't too much difference between the BSP and the BSN/S but your doing very well still!

Dyrim I appreciate your constant comments thanks for showing such a big interest as of late! A switch to Kobenhavn, the biggest side in Denmark I couldn't turn down! With no super cup we only need to aim for the league title and the cup are the only two objectives for us!

Thanks miimaa, the job finally came and its fair to say I didn't last long there due to my own decision. However I hope I can be a hit here!

____________________________________________________

So another move and another new club for me. Life at AC Horsens became my shortest job in this career as it lasted just eight days! Yes thats right, eighty days! Oh dear, I feel like Shedender now! Hopefully life here at Kobenhavn will be much better to myself and the trophy cabinet. Before the pre season schedule begins I met with the board to review the finances and discuss the plans for the upcomming season.


So the season expectations are that Kobenhavn return to the top of the pack and make their superiority count. Its the first time they've lost the league title from their grasp in twenty years so its important they don't lose it for long. The board have backed me financially to meet their expectations. Five million to spend along with fifty thousand free for transfers, I should hope I can meet their expectations.


As you'd expect from a club as big as Kobenhavn they have a superb financial backing here at the club. With over twenty one million pounds sitting in the balance at the club we can definitely keep moving forward as well as just under six million available for transfer fees and fifty two thousand pounds free from the two hundred and two thousand pounds allocated for wages! Plenty of room to sign some new faces!


This is the squad report as we go into the summer and its already looking very strong with just a few areas where I feel I really need to strengthen over the next month. Our goalkeeper looks strong enough so do both our centre backs and our right back, We are struggling in the left back area so this will need to be addressed as will our left midfield. The rest of midfield doesn't look too bad, we could do with a solid, game changing central midfielder though. Up front I will probably continue to play just one striker and I may look to improve on our current leading striker Hedegaard.

Dyrim playing on FMC it certainly is harder to find players as I only am allowed one scout at any club but I try my best to scout players myself so hopefully we can make the right changes in the summer! It won't be the easiest turn around this summer but we will see what we can do now!

____________________________________________________

Over the last month or so a lot has happened before the summer break is even over and with the players still on holiday and pre season a couple of weeks away there were some big news stories popping around and one caught my eye back in Czech Republic to which could please Miimaa. However here is the run down on everything and I mean literally everything thats happened over the last month! THIS IS A BIG UPDATE!


Firstly news traveled from back in Czech Republic and my last and only appointment there Ceske Budejovice. I won the league there last year and this year round they have gone and done it again as they claimed a fantastic double along with the super cup I picked up here earlier in the season. However its good to see they've claimed back to back league titles after never winning one before I was there! Great news!


This post is the one before the 'big' news. Here is the SuperLiga rundown over the last twenty one years and as you can see its mainly been dominated by one side. Nineteen out of the last twenty one league titles have been claimed by Kobenhavn but this year they finished down in third, their lowest finish since 2008! So it was a bit of a shock to see them not win it this year.


I then noticed this news pop up in the sub section on the FMC window. And this was the huge news. Kobenhavn and their manager Thomsen had parted companies. It appeared he wasn't sacked but stepped down from his role despite only taking the reigns of the clubs last year. This surely opened a small chance this summer for me to make a quick move from AC Horsens.


I went ahead and declared my interest in this vacancy whilst still in charge of AC Horsen's just incase my application failed I didn't want to be out of a job completely however this was about to change. It was set to be a tough month for us and I mean really tough month!


I should of seen this coming! AC Horsens chucked the ultimatum at me offering me the chance to apologise and make myself look like a mug or step down. It really wasn't an easy idea as Kobenhavn had kept quiet over the speculation this summer so I didn't know where I stood. However after a small thinking session I decided it was best to step down and just hope on the bigger job!


A couple weeks after resigning it proved to be a good idea as within the space of two days I received two completely different club offers. Firstly B 93 approached me completely out of the blue. They had just won promotion to the second tier as they won the 2.Division Ost and wanted me to take the club forward. The finances looked good at the club but I delayed the offer as I wanted to wait to hear back from Kobenhavn. Luckily it was the best idea as they came back to me with a very tempting offer. Offering me a five year deal on seventeen and a half thousand a week with a transfer fund of four million and over fifty thousand pounds spare in wages, it was a tough choice!

____________________________________________________

The final month of the season was upon us and despite me only being in charge for two and a half months now it seemed like a very long season now. Three final league games to round off what has been a tough season and hopefully we could end on a high, with the season we've had and the start I've made here surely we could have some sort of luck in the final month?


We started the final month on the road to league leaders Brondby and slipped to another defeat with us now without a win in four. A shoddy performance saw us concede in both halves of the game and this saw no reply from us with us slipping to a two nil defeat.

Our final win of the season came in the penultimate game of the season as we welcomed SonderjyskE and once again it was another one nil win for us. The only goal of the game came from Moller in just the nineteenth minute as we managed to secure the points and safety this season.

Our final game of the season came at no risk as we traveled to Esberj, the team I turned down and picked up a draw to end the season. We fell behind in the opening ten minutes but managed to steal a point as we pulled back seven minutes after the restart through Vibe.


Thanks god the season is over and it really wasn't the best eleven games I've been in charge of so hopefully a slight change is on the cards for the summer and the season ahead. We did finish up in seventh come the end of the season which is still two positions below our expected finish but I was more than happy with that. We finish twenty six points off the top which is a bit of a worry as is only scoring thirty one goals in thirty three games! There are a lot of areas that need strengthening next year!

No...No he can't so you should just stop following his thread

It was a difficult one on paper Benniewijs and seeming we played some of the bigger teams I suppose I can't be too hard on the players, just hope we see a turn of form now! Hopefully we can have a better season next, but battling through this one first!

Hopefully we can piece a bit together in the final seven games Dyrim and take something into the summer break! Thanks mate, appreciate the effort to read and comment!

____________________________________________________

Its fair to say we didn't make the best start in my reign here at AC Horsens but hopefully this was to be 'my month' and things could drastically improve. That was my plan anyway. April saw us face five of our remaining seven games and hopefully a turn of form!


We started the month with just my second win in charge as we traveled to relegation threatened Silkeborg IF where we claimed a narrow one nil win. It wasn't brilliant but it was three points, the only goal came after just three minutes with Jonsson netting the only goal of the game.

We then welcomed OB and things returned to the 'norm' as we slipped to a defeat without us finding the net again. A poor showing saw us behind after twenty one minutes and two down before the break. Conceding a third after the restart and slipped to a three nil defeat.

We traveled to Lyngyb and went two games without a goal again as a close game on paper and on the pitch saw it end as it started. Neither side could make the breakthrough and this saw it end nil nil.

The month ended with a third game without a win and three games without a goal as we welcomed AGF and slipped to a three nil defeat for the second time this month. All three of AGF's goals came before the break and they missed a penalty in the second half as they could of piled more pressure on us!


Despite another 'rocky' month we have managed to climb to eighth and should we have beat AGF in the final game of the month we could of moved up to seventh and finishing fifth could of been a possibility. We are however just looking to avoid relegation now. We sit seven points clear but we still have a tough final three games to play. I just can't wait till the curtain comes down on this season.

I know Shedender, its not brilliant but we had to put up with it, just hope it won't restrict me later through this career or it could get impossible for us! Thanks mate!

Cheers Benniewijs

____________________________________________________

So after waiting just over six months for a job it was finally time to start my reign here in Denmark with me in charge of AC Horsen I hoped I could boost their league position to try and meet their expectations. First month in charge saw me take over halfway through March and this would give me four league games to compete with as we were already out the cup and look to save our reputation.


Life really didn't begin too well in Denmark as my first game in charge saw us face AaB away from home and fall to a disastrous four one defeat. We were behind after just nine minutes and knew it would be a tough day, two down inside quarter of an hour wasn't the start I had planned. Come the break we had conceded four and failed to find the net. Second half we got on the scoresheet through Madsen but it wasn't our day.

We did win our second game with me in charge as we returned home and welcomed high flying Nordsjalland where we nicked a two nil win. Krogh gave us the lead after thirty three minutes and he was the man to net our second as well. That came ten minutes after the restart as we eased to victory.

We then went two games without finding the net. Firstly we traveled away to FC Midtylland where we fell to a three nil defeat. We conceded in injury time in the first half and then conceded two minutes after the restart and we continued to slump. A third came for the home side in the last fifteen minutes.

And the month got worst in the final game as we welcomed high flying FC Kobenhavn and fell to back to back defeats conceding seven in two games as the away side netted four in the afternoon. Two down at the break, four down come full time, another atrocious performance!


So we have already slipped down a position and now sit ninth and nearing the relegation battle. We are ten points ahead of the relegation battle at the moment but with seven league games left we could still fall into it following our results we've had already this year. We are also seven points away from our predicted finish up in seventh which is a long way for us to get still.

Great to see you up the top now, fantastic six two win over stockport too!
