Whenever you switch to 'control' and Cristiano Ronaldo scores a hat-trick inside the opening eleven minutes, you must feel like a 'genius' or Galatasaray were poor. Centre back Sergio Ramos and winger Gareth Bale were also on target in this European rout.

Had to come from behind in this La Liga fixture at home but we finally beat Malaga 4-1 as Jese 'treated' himself to a double.

A brace from Cristiano Ronaldo helped us maintain our unbeaten start, beating Athletic Bilbao 3-1.

The side continued their unbeaten season with this 3-0 win over Granada at home. Raphael Varane, Isco (which'll make @Suffolk Seasider happy) and Gareth Bale found the net.

Gareth Bale bagged a treble as we ran riot in Belgium to kick start our Champions League group.

@Suffolk Seasider I sure hope he does, I'd also like to see him score a few as well.

The first game of September took us to Barcelona to face Espanyol and record a deserved two goals to nil victory. Both of our goals arrived inside the opening twenty minutes and both from wingers as Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo found the net.

Played him regularly before @Parker26 and he was excellent, I'm hoping it'll be no different this time around.

This is a huge blow, time for Isco to step up.

If you don't ease through that group then I'd expect your resignation to be tendered w/ immediate effect.

It turned out to be two wins from two games as we beat Real Betis 5-1 in my first competitive home fixture as both Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale hit braces at the Bernabeu. Mateo Kovacic got our other goal in not just a convincing win, but a convincing display as well.

Like I said @Suffolk Seasider, this is pretty much a 'throwaway' save until FM17 comes out, then the challenge(s) resumes. That's the funny thing, I've got an idea on who I'm going to purchase but it depends on a few things, e.g. transfer price being the major factor. I'd like to try and build on some of the promising youth players as well, something I neglected the last time - last time I had a quality squad but perhaps overspent on some players, this will no doubt be the same.

The opening league fixture of the new campaign took us to Sporting Gijon as we recorded a convincing victory in my competitive managerial debut. It turned out to be a dream start when Jese, in for the injured Karim Benzema, opened the scoring after just two minutes before further goals from Mateo Kovacic and Cristiano Ronaldo had us in control - substitute Lucas Vazquez added a fourth goal in the second half.

Yes I'm well aware that about a week or two go I started a career as Liverpool manager but that ended up being too time consuming and I'm afraid that'll be no longer continued. I had planned on resuming the succession game I had with going with @Dan but SendSpace decided to delete the file when I had it uploaded a month ago and it's no longer on my system which sucks.

So I thought with Football Manager 2016 coming to an end in around three/four months, I thought I'd start a save in which it'll see me 'splash the cash'. I've chosen Real Madrid as I had a save with them previously in which I ended up dominating Spanish Football and ended up winning something like six league titles, two Champions League's, one Club World Cup, one or two Super Cups while I also won the Spanish Cup and Spanish Super Cup on a few occasions.

Oh and I also won the World Cup with France.

For those who don't know much about Real Madrid (I'd be surprised), they're based in the Spanish capital and have a Worldwide reputation. They're nicknamed Los Merengues and have not just excellent youth facilities but also state of the art training facilities while they are Rich financially.

As for me, the manager, because I've decided to manage Real Madrid, I've decided to start with the highest managerial badges + experience as I feel that'll help due to being in charge of a gigantic European club who expect instant success. We are predicted to finish the season as runners-up but they expect me to reach the semi finals of the Champions League while the Spanish Cup isn't deemed important.

I've still not decided on how I'm going to update this but I've been thinking either a) game by game, just like the succession game I had done with Dan or b) monthly updates.

It's a shame your reign at England had to come to an end. Good luck with Aussie land though.

Didn't think it was possible, this tournament was worse than the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Absolute mental to get sacked as Portadown manager due to a takeover @DNZY and without playing a competitive game.

I know I was so close to be sacked lucky they didn't in the end. Really enjoying it. And plan to attempt other continents if and when I leave England.

I'd like to see you head to South America afterwards to try and win the Confederations Cup.

Very unlucky in losing the European Championships final to Portugal but they looked to be outstanding in the tournament, particularly in the group stages (6 vs. Spain I believe and 7 vs. Scotland). It's good to see this career is still going and you're actually going on nice winning streaks now - seems a long time ago, you couldn't even beat Iran at home in a friendly.

Bielsa is supposedly very close to being announced as the new Lazio manager.

He's quit as Lazio manager after 2 days.

It's time for France vs. Germany and this game is quite hard to predict.

But, I'm going to fancy France to win after extra time.

I've had staff members rejecting me previously because they've a severe dislike of me (even though I believe I've done nothing wrong, obviously I'm just an easy to hate person) but I'm believing I've never had a staff member, who is already at the club, not interested in re-signing because he supports a rival club - why join in the first place, clown.

Sucks lol

Before you say I should be fired even the FA said that they can understand the defeat cause it was Germany lol

Ha, I've accepted that the English FA will never sack you.
