I finally got things going right for me just at the end of my turn, shame. We done better in the league picking up 4 points from 3 games instead and reached the League Cup semi final against St Mirren (avoiding Celtic who face Aberdeen).

The away tie with Sparta was a disaster but we still have two home games left so if we can pick up 6 points in the remaining games we have a chance.

Sitting 8th place isn't exactly ideal but we have a game on hand and face Morton and Kilmarnock next booth winnable games.

I wasn't able to bring in my replacement for Fathi due to an injury but he's just about recovered and on trial for the next 4 weeks so it'll be up to Jack if he wants to sing him or not.

I said that my focus would be on stretching the lead at the top and thats just what I did, from 6 to 14 points clear gives us a massive chance of landing the title early despite a few bumps along the way.

The poor results might be due to a shift in philosophy and tactics and the squad adjusting. I made two sales in December, Warner Hahn to Leeds and Bahrudin Atajic to Al-Ain for £2.8m combined.

If you look at the sides I could have got there wasn't anyone I wanted. There was a few I would have liked to avoid and thankfully I did.

Great work so far guys, looks like promotion is in your sights. Nice to see the bookings have calmed in recent games too.

Fifty shots! Wow! Haha! Good luck with this sean! Be sure to check out mine and Shedender's hero succession game!

I made a few changes and went for a counter attacking system just before the Arbroath game so hopefully the Hearts game was a blip.

It went from bad to worse. From 5-0 to 8-0. To be fair with 50 shots on goal it could have been a lot worse. Well I did look for a challenge.

I'm just looking forward to getting the qualifiers over with and a few friendlies to climb up the rankings.

It was an inevitable loss against such a strong team and tbh I expect more of the same for the next fixtures. I'd settle for a goal in the next three fixtures.

We did have two of our best players missing but not that it would have changed much.

Cheers George. I had a terrible first month, I only managed a single point from three league games and we sit 8th in the table. Things were better in the Europa League and League Cup. We reached the Quarter Final of the League Cup to face Rangers and are 2nd in the EL group.

Also I managed to get £500k from some Qatari side for 31 year old Fathi and I have a great replacement lined up.

Done enough for tonight and should get it finished and passed on by tomorrow.

A tough draw. About on par with the group we topped two years ago. Hopefully we can finish 2nd and get a favourable draw for the last 32.

I made a deadline day signing in the form of Ravel Morrison. With our midfield ageing, he looks like a real long term prospect for us. Downside is he wanted a £500k release clause.

It wasn't a glorious win, but it was a win. We had good control of the game and greater a fair amount of chances so overall I was happy.

I'm now going to analyse the match and individual positions as I have about three weeks before the Ireland game.

This is the group. Talk about in at the deep end. If I can get one point out of the remaining fixtures I'll be happy as long Kazakhstan don't overtake us.

Up next is San Marino, a game we should win.

First thing to was was to bring in a half decent assistant manager. I choose John Kennedy of Celtic and the plan is to take him with me wherever I go.

With over a month to go until the first fixture I was messing around with the squad and tactics and came up with a counter attacking set-up.

I've decided to start in the Faroe Islands as it gives me a foothold in Europe. The reason for choosing them is they are just north of Scotland and are said to be of Scottish/Irish/Scandinavian decent. It will also be a massive task getting them up the world rankings

I hope to get them in the top 140 before even thinking about moving.

My first choice was the British Virgin Islands but I was unable to make them playable.

It's almost impossible to get a job starting unemployed Sean I believe.

Yeah so I've read so far, I'm going to class unemployed as taking over a managerless club.

Over the holidays I didn't play FM much so fell away from my saves. I did mange to relight the old flame with my Celtic career so that is safe and will still be a long term thing.

..but I need something new that I've never done before. A journeyman career. As enjoyable as my Celtic game is I need a real challenge.

I'm not sure where I'll start. It might be club, international or even unemployed. I'll start looking after I've completed my two months of the succession game.

A very good month for us some big wins paired with a spot in the CL last 16. Next month I will be focusing on the league and trying to double the gap at the top.

Hopefully the draw (in two weeks time) will be kind to us like last year.

A good bounce back from last month, Fraser Forster spent most of the month injured and Warner Hahn proved he isn't up to it so I've sold him to Leeds.

Although we didn't manage to keep the clean sheets I'd have liked in the Champions League we managed to climb up to 2nd place with the big win over Olympiakos.

Hi mate, what are you using to replace the flags with each nation's FA logo?

I can't even remember mate I've had it for a few years, sorry.

A great pre-season run for us. Hopefully it spills over into the new season kicking off at home to West Ham.

With a transfer budget of just £15m I had to be wise with my money. Stevie May was first in but he went back up on loan to Scotland with Gauld, Soutar and Kennedy. Forster was another already organised and will be my number one the first day of the season. I couldn't get 25 goal Roumelu Lakaku to stay as Chelsea wanted too much so I decided to go for Rhodes who scored 28 goals last season.

I spotted Gomez on the transfer list in the Barca B squad and got him on the cheap to add an extra option at the back. My final signing was Jorgensen who was wanted by teams all over Europe and will be a long term replacement for Steven Pienaar.

I was tempted to sell Leighton Baines but only got offered £8m and I'd rather let him go at the end of the season for free.

Decent start for Helenius too, think he could be a shrewd buy

Yeah good to see him settle early, at £3m I couldn't resist. One of my favourite players in fm13.

For the upcoming season I've decided to change my style of things, nothing major but just something to mix it up for me.

Not the best of months. A decent result away to Man City but poor results against Hamilton and Sparta Prague. Hopefully next month we can open the gap at the top keep a few more clean sheets.

The pressure of deadline day got to me. But. I think I got a player just about to enter his prime. Helenius cost £3m from Aston Villa after falling down the pecking order.

February wasn't the best but we finally went second in the league and reached the 6th round of the Scottish Cup. The lead over Inverness could have been more than goal difference if we beat them.

Uploading the file now and will send it on to Jack.

A good end to the season seen us pip stoke to 6th place and close to a 5th place finish. I'm really shocked with Man City's final position. Next year I'll be aiming for a top four finish if I can get a good replacement for Lakaku.

A decent start in the league for me, disappointed to go crashing out the cup. Especially after beating them 2-0 the week before. The gap between us and 2nd has been closed to two points.

I'll get february done tomorrow or friday afternoon.
