#264587 On a quest to be the best. [FM15]

It's time for my first mid-season update since arriving at Wolfsburg and it's been a great season to date for the club as things are looking quite good for a promotion push and I'm praying we won't mess things up. The club aren't competing in the German Cup this season but that's fine as it means I can concentrate on the league.
League - Third Division:
Wow. I can't complain with how the first part of the league season has went as we've been consistent throughout (minus those two defeats in which we didn't score), but the goals have been getting scored and we haven't been conceding too many either, just nineteen or so have been conceded while fifty four have been scored in twenty one games.
And this is how the league table reads after twenty one league games, as you can see, we are in complete control at the top, sitting fifteen points clear of second place Cottbus and already it's our league to surrender and I believe our next game is against the second placed side. The Second Division is the aim and so far things are looking good.

This is a job that I wanted a few years ago but because they were in administration they decided to 'laugh me off' and 'spit' on my application but now a good few years down the line they have offered me a job which I couldn't turn down, they've been in the third tier of German football for around seven seasons and it's up to me to bring them up to the Bundesliga, were they should be in my opinion.
I've brought in eight new faces this summer but I'm not sure how many will be first team regulars. I've spent money on Branislav Jovanovic, Saboor Paikar, Sasa Kostic and Ali Haidar while Omer Saglam, Jordan Pearce and Lee Kerr on free transfers, Muamer Hodzic joined on a free after agreeing a pre-contract from Karlsruhe.
Four players departed the club this summer and the one I'm annoyed about is Lothar Rudolph who had agreed a pre-contact with Augsburg before I arrived at the club - Axel Ansorge and Johannes Ememann both left when their contracts had expired (again before I became manager) and then Stefano Corradini went to Essen for one hundred and forty five thousand pounds.
I can't complain with how pre season went as we only lost one game - a three one defeat at home to English Premiership side Burnley - we won the other four games, beating Pogon at home while winning on our travels against Vorsfelde, Wormatia Worms and Gavorrano.
This season all determines on star striker Max Meyer, if he can score goals then we could have a good season.

Following my sacking at East Stirlingshire, a sacking that was inevitable, I was out of work for around one month before a certain job in the third tier of German football became available, a job that I couldn't say no as it's one I've been wanting for the past while but wouldn't become available, they've been in the Third Division for around seven seasons and it's time for me to try and get them out of it.
So, who is the club?
This is just conformation that Wolfsburg sacked their previous manager Marcus Baumann after it was reported that the players had lost confidence in the manager and that was the reason for them terminating his contract, of course I applied and they offered me an interview, around four years after they first 'laughed me off' due to being in administration.
I'm thrilled that I've been able to 'wow' them and thus be offered the chance to manager Die Wolfe, I have penned a two year contract that should expire at the end of June 2053 and also received a transfer budget of £1.4m, which is quite incredible for a third tier side, whether I need to spend the budget or not remains to be seen.
Like I've said, this is a job I've wanted while they were remaining in the Third Division and I'd love this to be another 'long term' team, similar to my five year spell at Vasas, returning Wolfsburg to the elite of German football but it isn't going to be easy - I'm sure I'll be expected to win promotion to the second tier.

It definitely ended 7-6 on aggregate to Swindon, dunno why they've it level at 6 apiece on agg.

Nope.
It's a shame it didn't go to extra time, it was a remarkable game of football. Swindon vs. Preston in the final then.

The end of the season is upon us and somehow I have remained in a job . . . for now after surviving I believe it was either two or three 'emergency board meetings' throughout the second half of the campaign, I blamed injuries, they said it wasn't good enough but somehow I survived but if I'm still at East Stirlingshire next season then I'd be surprised.
Scottish Cup:
Our run in the Scottish Cup ended in the fifth round following a defeat to Partick Thistle which frustrated me to an extent because when you score four goals against a Premiership team you should be allowed to progress but instead we conceded six. We have beaten Queen's Park and Peterhead in the previous two rounds.
League - League One:
Now this was an absolute horrific second half of the campaign in which we only won seven times but failed to find any sort of consistency, losing the other eleven times including the last four games of the season but yet in the two games against leaders Clyde we struck twelve goals (six in each game) and that's the frustrating part.
The horrific end of season form as ultimetialy cost us a place in the play-offs as East Stirlingshire finish the season in fifth place and I'm surprised I managed to survive the campaign when I did have three 'emergency board meetings' and players unhappy and 'demanding' to leave throughout the season, which was annoying me.
And this has to be the most expected news item of the campaign, I have been sacked as manager of East Stirlingshire and 'failure to win in the last match' was the reason for me being chopped but truth be told, I was always going to get the chop, this season ended as a complete write off and now I'll need to return to/remain in Scotland to try and get the League One trophy.

I wish Newcastle got the chance to relegate QPR and thus (possibly) surviving in the process.

We have reached the end of the calendar year in twenty fifty one and that means it's time for the mid-season update here at East Stirlingshire and the clubs board expect us to finish runners-up and secure the minimum of a play-off spot but of course it's going to be tough as in the lower leagues in Scotland anyone can beat anyone, it's unpredictable.
Challenge Cup:
Although this competition has been previously won and thus not important, I'm still a little disappointed to have crashed out on a penalty shoot-out against Championship side Airdrie as we had surrendered a 2-0 lead that had been given to us by Steven Black and Mark Buchan inside the opening twenty minutes.
League Cup:
Our run in this seasons League Cup ended in the third round as my former employers and Premiership side Rangers dumped us out of the competition, we didn't play too bad but their experience told in the end. We had beaten fellow league side Raith and Championship side Forfar in the previous two rounds. It's another competition that has previously been won.
Scottish Cup:
This is another competition that has been won when at Inverness if I remember correctly, but we still remain in the Scottish Cup and we'll face Premiership side Partick Thistle in the fourth round and although I'd love an upset, I can't see it happening. Queen's Park and Peterhead were beaten in the previous two rounds.
League - League One:
It's been a mixed first half of the league season and that's a little frustrating, especially when we had gotten off to a dream start, winning our opening five league games but then come the end of November and the end of December we have went seven league games without a win and that needs to change as quick as possible.
Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control, I have been unable to post the league table but I believe we ended the calender year down in fourth place.
