Some transfers ...

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/NYgyThU1sV5CwnMEcIeaQ7qmX9YgvIlqDuHzPbTo.png

Needed some depth and a future big player for the club. Paid a modest £975k for him.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ytxVLStJfazmQi01jEBFpuLv7DYiUAoX7bURv9lm.png

Signed for just over £1m. He has potential to be a future international and I see re-sell value for him in the future.

Signed from PSV for £325k. Bargain basement price. Will be the talisman in the midfield that we are seeking.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/aLNwLcwiqDbUTJYuRAnJDADXnX4Mrz9nTs2O7hYD.png

Signed for just over £1m. A player with much talent and plugs a gap at right back.

DanW19 - Cheers Dan. Yes definitely a move worth taking. Lot of ambition to become a club of some force in Europe.

Had to sign this man. Will improve my coaching staff no end.

So the club is a growing one and of course the Tycoon who bought the club felt that way about it. There is a lot in favour of this club. The facilities are excellent and this for me will prove to be an important part to play in attracting new players to the club. Hopefully I can add some trophies to the growing cabinet.

The season so far. It is not to bad but the disappointing thing is the club is no longer in Europe. I did leave Midtjylland still in Europe. But beggars cannot be choosers here.

Third in the league but there is quite a gap between us and 2nd place. Some work to do.

Shedender - Some pretty good terms to be fair.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/UfvMWlwMJRYiUCpi3hxeI2l2QC070OHkDOasQN6w.png

These are the terms and the terms I am likely to accept. Might negotiate a two year stay and see what comes up. However the job at Sampdoria has emerged and I do like the looks of that however there will be less money there.

So at the winter break period we are top with quite a gap. It is amazing to see that Copenhagen have slipped away so badly this season. Good news for us however. But the question is how long will I be at the club for?

Fulham came calling, and of course I have rejected them. Not a club I am looking at or looking to go to.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/wmJ4THWZFu46AVwIVUhA2n7UclJkhdNoTUw592X3.png

Applied for this job to see the craic. Last season they were taken over by a Tycoon and he has upgraded all the facilities and given the manger some money to play with. 4th in the league and want to progress a little further. I am seriously tempted by the offer.

Phase 1 ended like this. Some good results there. The hiding against AaB was in particular disappointing. We should have and could have done better,

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/FjICtky7y4HPQE5BhQKjsvApoU4KR4ShMke00qF2.png

I don't think he will ever make it. I am probably wrong but the coaches think that letting him go was the best idea. Nice profit on him also.

So we managed to beat Be'er-Sheva 4-2 on aggregate. We had some tired legs and we made it difficult for ourselves. The good news is that we will be gaining some extra money throughout the group stages so need to ensure we get a kind draw.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/go5Vgktmsc5EcFeJzZSXame0q5L3d6huXIOE4BwC.png

So an easy group it will not be. Be lucky to end up anything but bottom in this group.

DanW19 - Champions League success is not on the cards, I can't really see us qualifying for the group stages for a few years.

Sold one of my youth prospects for £5 million to HSV. Big call but will only benefit the club. He does have a bright future but where the club is currently £5 million is hard to turn down.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/4oL8ZVP24jYxVUWtYaYnLoUcaQqm11cEI8PgF7N6.png

How he looks, Possesses tidy physical stats for a young gun.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/3zbFXWL9KNpS5H1C488O7cXWmNVTDAfy4Da3L7qa.png

Broken the club record also. But the club is a traditional selling club.

willz121 - Cheers fella. Lot of interesting leagues out there bar from standard British leagues. There are a few I haven't got the chance to have a go in e.g. the Gulf states (Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia etc), China (have managed in other games), Columbia, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. It is all good fun mind.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/i2CZJLxowqvA280XsOVPmIguOyWERd317prkeHKL.png

We made profit which is always good to see and hear.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/NiNbwVT7Ni2OIQZwP1rwr1aEJ8jjLJEehJm5cCFm.png

So up on the old sponsorship by a massive £0.02m , can't complain.

How the final third of the season played out. We came close to throwing our second place spot up with the fixture against Randers. Our last run of games ensured we could achieve the second place. However it wasn't confirmed until the last game of the season. I thought we would not upset København and AGF would walk over Randers. However it wasn't the case. Both a victory for us and the loss for AGF meant we ended in second place. A fantastic achievement.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/I7hTNbOWpvDyinO8C50zVRic5SACHzeDceyAOWrN.png

So that is how it ended up. København are a different gravy in this league.

Signed a one year deal to keep me at the club. I am enjoying my stint here but also I am being linked with bigger clubs and it is probably only a amtter of time before I move on somewhere else. But for now I am keen to progress the club as far as I can.

George14brfc - Ye shame about the money but we will have to look for other sources. Yep we are doing well, and hopefully we can maintain the place.

Battered Brondby for the majority of the game and should have scored quite a few goals more. We were the better side from the off and it was pleasing in the first time in the club's history they had won a trophy. Great achievement and most importantly of all we have European football next season guaranteed.

Youth intake in and not much to talk about bar from the top two players there.

Lasse Boy has some potential. Might get a few games next season if the financial crisis worsens.

So at the end of the second period of the league season we are looking in great shape. Despite letting go 3 players of value to the club, we are very competitive, not as much with Copenhagen but with the rest we are up there. We are now £3million odd in the red. No matter what I do at the moment is changing the financial outlook. I am hoping that a new owner will take charge and invest. I can only hope.

Oh bugger, did not see this coming. Genuinely thought finances were ok. Guess they weren't. Looks like it is time for a player sale or two.

We started the next period a little ropey. But as I had mentioned previously things began to pick up and started to look up. The players have begun to buy into my way of playing football and that is pleasing. I have also had to adapt my tactics to accommodate players to ensure I get the best out of them.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/UxEi3iUhGkwdmNFKFcvKQZkOC400pLKYaHTlrf9V.png

At the Winter Break we sit in third with a good cushion of 5 points.
