#84328 Spanky's 13 long termer....
mr.SPANKY
So the half way stage and things are looking okay. We are scoring quite a few goals but leaking many at the same time. The old score one more than the opposition is the approach I am taking here due to the quality or attacking players available to me.
Cup wise we are into the third round of the DFB Pokal after 4-0 and 2-1 wins over second tier teams. We meet Wolfsburg in the 3rd round who we have played in the league already and had a 0-0 with. As you can see from the table they are only a point better then us in the league.
Highlight of the season so far is a 1-0 over Bayern which came after 3 losses on the trot against Gladbach, Leverkusen and Shalke who are all top teams.
I will wait till the end of the season to post up the special players but there is a 15 year old in the under 18's who I cannot wait til he is ready to play, will be something special I can feel it.
That is him.
This kid will also be huge for us and already starts at right back for me.
Finance wise we are leaking close to a million a month but I've just cancelled one of the loans and got 4k per week off the budget. With Leggett still to come though and at a hefty wage it will be a while until we turn a profit.

So got some players out, brought the wage budget another 13k down and turning a profit. We also sold an extra 2000 season tickets from last year so that will help immensely.
The board want me to avoid relegation and I'm pretty confident I can do that if my midfield stays injury free.

Cannot wait till this kid joins in January. Real quality already, had him on the radar at Man City but they wanted £11 odd million for him. Snagged him for free now though had to break the wage budget to sign him and prevent other teams from getting in under my nose.
#84084 Spanky's 13 long termer....
mr.SPANKY
I've got some real quality in the under 18's, we do have top training and good youth facilities though.
I've bought in a head of youth development to suss out some talent and also hired another scout along with 2 coaches.
Now to see what I can snare from the free and loan market.
#84078 Spanky's 13 long termer....
mr.SPANKY
I have a transfer budget of just under £1m and a wage budget of £274k of which I'm spending £270k.
Need to evaluate the squad and try to move some players on to free up the wages, may even look to bring some of the youngsters from Man City I signed in on loan.

Funny you should say that. After the world cup finished I had a look at the available jobs and of the 30 or so there only Werder Bremen peaked my interest. I am now in Germany for the first time lol.

I bought in a young goalkeeper from Liverpool who was a product of my youth academy which helped with registration plus he's fucking awesome. Cost me £60 odd million. Bought in Rodrigo Angel Vera who those might remember from my last stint at Liverpool is an absolute beast in the midfield, he only cost me £30 odd million as he was transfer listed. I bought some French dude from Barca to play the advanced playmaker role, a dual sided fullback from Barca in January as I didn't have enough defenders, some young German striker and then a shit load of youngsters.
I won the Super cup, Community shield, F.A Cup and finished second in the league by a point because I couldn't beat fucking Sheff Wed ffs. I also lost the 3rd round of the Carling cup to Liverpool with a youth team and the Champs league semi final against Real Madrid. Bastards got their revenge from last season. I won the Club World Cup against some random Paraguayan team.
I resigned on June 1st and have holidayed until after the world cup to see where I feel like managing. TBH I would love another project like Montpellier as I was enjoying that and only ever went to Man City to win shit again.

Forgot to put up the champs league results. Betis despite knocking out Man Utd were really a non threatening team despite the closeness of the scorelines. I did have to make some rotational changes as fixture congestion was getting to me. Marseille proved a much sterner challenge and upset us at home, they also took us to extra time in the second leg before Mitrovic the veteran striker sent us on our way to the final in the 110th minute.
Unfortunately Barakos will miss the final after amassing too many yellow cards.
#83177 Spanky's 13 long termer....
mr.SPANKY
First time I have won anything in sooooo long. Only reason I came to Man City was to get my rep back up and win some shit. I was worried for a while as Chelsea hadn't lost a game until about their 33rd fixture or so, they had every opportunity to win the title but fixture congestion done them. They were competing on every front and eventually ended up having to play a game every 2 days. Chelsea's 2 losses to Arsenal at the end of the season helped me to the title with a game to spare and saved me the drama of having to play Chelsea in match day 38 for it.

Just wasn't enjoying the Poland job, they have 5 games left to qualify and I've left them with a decent shot.

Needed away goals but happy to have progressed against such strong opposition. Some upsets in the other games too, Leverkusen knocked out Arsenal and Betis knocked out Man Utd.

Not a great end to my stint but we are only 4 points off top spot and Europa qualification is within grasp. Sanchez is out for 2 weeks though so my injury crisis continues. Hopefully it gets better for Tarra in his first stint.
Welcome to FGR tarra, will be sending the file when it's uploaded.

One of those games where everything was even they just were more clinical. 3 teams are on 6 points in our group now but we have 2 of our remaining 3 games at home.
#82907 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Boring game and Fulham have now jumped us into 1st place.
Potter our for 2 months now too, injuries are just ridiculous now.

Ozcelik is now my new favorite player, we must keep him at all costs. 1 goal, 2 assists and Adams must be reading the forums cause he slammed home everything Ozcelik put in front of him.
#82901 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Had a look at the fixtures and was indeed a full friendly against the Czechs.
#82899 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Ozcelik is a freak, we are on fire in Europe and qualification is a real possibility. Just wish Adams would start scoring in the Prem he really is a frustrating player.
#82897 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
He already has a cap for Turkey, this will be interesting. It was a friendly so he could very well end up playing for Germany.
#82893 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Well the bubble has burst, first loss of the season. Hopefully this doesn't start a downward spiral.
Maguire is out for 3 weeks just to add to that, honestly do you guys ever get injuries like i do?
#82889 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Used a second string team for this, mostly guys who hadn't played a game and substitutes. Needed to rotate due to the congested fixtures and well we got a shitty draw with Man City.
#82883 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
No right to win this game but we made 1 of our 2 shots count
#82880 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Our first foray into Europe and despite the injuries we performed to near perfection. We need to make Maguire the new Kluk and keep him until he retires. I wish Adams would score like this in the prem though hopefully this kick starts it for me.
This is a great confidence booster ahead of the tougher European ties ahead.

What a joke.
