Can't believe my 'master plan' backfired, unacceptable.

So that's my spell done and dusted with Inverness Caledonian Thistle and we remain bottom of the table and thirteen points adrift of safety so it's up to Dan to get us relegated to the Championship (and hopefully we don't get the chop in the process). I've won two games throughout my spell, which I'm surprised with - beat Aberdeen and Falkirk at home and bar the Partick game, we were never battered.

The red card ultimately played a part but truth be told, Rangers were too strong for us at Ibrox despite John Davison giving us the lead.

Just recorded an excellent home success against high flying Falkirk, winning 2-0 as the on loan Alan Scullion scored in either half. Still bottom and twelve points adrift.

We are now thirteen points from safety following this heavy defeat away to relegation rivals Partick Thistle at Firhill in which Sean Naismith tore us apart as he bagged four goals while Peter Hutton scored the other for the Jags. Stuart Evans' goal on seventy seven minutes was nothing but a consolation goal.

I'm delighted to announce that the Inverness chairman is allowing us to go on our final coaching course which'll see us get the Continental Pro Licence, which we're both delighted with as that should help us finally progress in this career and get whatever job we want, all being well. It's going to cost us six grand for the course and take approx. twelve months to complete.

A rare occasion on this save, a Shedender win as we beat second placed Aberdeen 2-1 at the Caledonian Stadium as Kevin McHattie and Daniel Armstrong found the net, cancelling out Jason Cummings opener for the Dons after only seven minutes. This win was Inverness' first league win(?) in sixteen games.

Could well be the new KEVO! Back on crutches and with a knee brace/splint on. Damaged ACL!

@K3VO you've been replaced pal, hard luck.

Couldn't have asked for a tougher first game in charge as we faced leaders Celtic at the Caledonian Stadium and we lost the contest 1-0. We could probably take a little credit from the game as the Celts only scored because Kevin McHattie make a mistake. Onwards and upwards, it's 15 games without a win now for the Caley Jags.

My stint has come and gone and nothing happened, no jobs became available that were suitable for us.

Wouldn't worry, that's about to change.

We're back in football management bitches! February 6th 2023 is the date when Scottish Premiership's basement club Inverness Caledonian Thistle offered us a chance to get back into management almost six months after leaving English League One side Preston and it's been a 'long' six months. The board expect us to avoid automatic relegation, but I hope we do get automatically relegated as I'd be confident in wrapping up a League and Challenge Cup double next season but we'll see what happens.

The team had four foreign players (two on loan) and they've been relegated into the U20's and won't be near the first team again. Bar one player from Republic of Ireland, Caley Thistle have a strong core of Scottish players which'll help us during our time at the Caledonian Stadium.

You've got to be kidding me! Seems only @Dan can be successful in interviews. Yes, I've failed to get a job at a League of Ireland relegation candidate as U.C.D decide they didn't want 'Dean Ashton' as their next manager. It seems when Dan takes charge again on October 1st, we're going to be unemployed still and that's a shame.

Nah, scrap that. I've actually passed one interview since we started this and that's when I applied for the Lincoln job but delayed it.

I'm in a similar position to you guys in my save (with Grimsby), just got into League 1. I got torn apart on the first day too (5-1), so keep battling! Lots of loan signings (it seems?) for you guys, hope they're good enough!

What formation are you playing at the moment?

We would have left Preston for the sake of progressing in this challenge but unfortunately their was no jobs out there which would've been us progress or had no chance in getting (e.g. Chelsea). Yeah we've needed to make loan signings (which I normally don't like) because their wasn't much 'talent' out there on a permanent basis. I'm not 100% on the 'keeper but we'll give him a chance. Of course we could still end up leaving Preston.

I'm playing a 4231 formation, think Dan has been using the same formation but not sure.

When you lose the opening game of the season 6-0 to a team that's predicted to finish in 21st position (six places below yourselves) then you know you're in for a long, long season. It was a tough choice to step down but I feel it's for the best and I'm hoping I can get employment quite quickly. Hope I don't regret stepping down.

And we're out of the League Cup without putting up a fight as Championship side Chesterfield win 3-0.

I've no explanation, Gillingham just tore us a new arsehole in the second half at Priestfield. This is going to be another long 3 months.

Or maybe it's not the end of the signings as Jake Foster-Caskey arrives from Chesterfield for fifty grand. We were lacking for back-ups in the central midfield position so I found this signing essential - yes, he may not look the greatest but truth be told, I doubt he'll be a regular in the central midfield position.

You wait what feels an eternity to sign a striker and a third arrives in a short space of time as Tom Hopper has joined from Peterborough United. No, it's not a loan deal, he's cost us £125k from the Championship side and I'd hoping he'll be a regular goalscorer for us. Tried to bring back James Hood but he chose to join Hull on a permanent deal.

Really needed to sign a new 'keeper and I struggled to find one, Martin Hill arrives on a season loan from Chelsea.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/BLPEEs4WKuadYToX3W2KLCOkOir0O3Z7FAETXBKC.jpg

Yes, it's another season long loan signing as Stephen Mahon comes from Derby County.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/DfYphEigksGBHVGQwDIqWEyiLRBhxqppVsdE2M7A.jpg

This is a desperation signing, Jack Johnston was released by Lincoln in the summer, we've zero out and out strikers on the books currently.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/hvhI8zijRYm5FISBFmETCR3Kir2cJiZSG2EpzLx6.jpg

We've finally found a striker and whether he'll end up being first choice remains to be seen, Jack Payne has arrived at Deepdale on a (surprise, surprise) loan deal until the end of the season from Cardiff.

Our first signing of the season has seen English left back Josh Stanchini join the club on a free transfer following his release from Exeter City in which he only played three times last season for the Grecians. He doesn't look the greatest full back in the world but he should do a job for us.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/yfad10huoddodyi2OFyNrPtsKOArsAteSTjg1aTp.jpg

A second signing was also made as Alex Maxted joined the club on a season long loan deal from Championship side Leeds and I'm expecting him to do well during his loan spell.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ztkBTuOc2WU4WGBlhRfgREUXGnzFb9tliTnxejCn.jpg

And a third signing has been made in the space of a day as left winger Jon Grant has signed on a free transfer following his release from Brentford in which he didn't make a single appearance for the Bees - but he did have loan spells at Cowdenbeath and Preston in the last two seasons, ironically we were the manager in both teams. Made 37 appearances for us last season, he should be a regular again.

More signing are to be expected as our squad is still really tiny . . .

We're on borrowed time at Deepdale come the end of my embarrassing spell in charge as I guided us to just three wins out of eighteen games and that's relegation form. Preston will remain at League 2 side next season as we're well out of the title race and I'd like to rule us out of the playoffs as well as we're in atrocious form and the 'confidence' has gone completely - it doesn't help the club haven't scored in the past four home games and perhaps it's time for a tactic change.

Good luck Dan. You'll bloody need it man!

This is f**king laughable, no surprise to see I've lost to ANOTHER struggling side as Dagenham win 1-0 at Victoria Road as we didn't even muster a single shot on target. It's now three wins from our last seventeen league games and that's fully unacceptable and I seriously cannot wait until my horrible (surprise, surprise) stint is over! The side have now failed to score in their last three games!

Due to recent form, we deserve to be relegated to the National League and not be in eighth position.
