Um okay, in recent years Chelsea, Man City and Liverpool have all offered me jobs, yet I'm not good enough for a Ligue 2 side. Fuck ya then.

Encouraging signs. A few players were out injured for it and if I had a strong striker we could have possibly nicked one maybe even 2 goals.

Quick update on Montpellier, shit end to the season. New manager finished 8th with them, knocked out of the Europa League and no further then the quarters in the french cups. Improvement on myself?? I think not.

Monaco were taken over but finished 19th and were relegated. I have added French Ligue 2 but it doesn't come into effect for another month. Hopefully they don't hire anyone because I would be interested in the job out of spite if anything lol.

I've decided to do some adding/removing of leagues. On the outs front are Australia and the US as I have already been and dominated both leagues. On the ins I have added Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Netherlands, Poland (a must for my national cause), Russia, Turkey and the Ukraine.

I've just arranged a friendly before the Qualifiers on the only available date against the Dutch. They are ranked 8th to Italy's 11th so will give me some sort of idea what I am up against.

Highest profile player in our ranks, very quick, works well for the team, can dribble, finish and is well composed. Will have to suss out the other striker/wing ranks before I decide where best to employ him.

http://i43.tinypic.com/aaenvn.jpg

Great technique, quick, can pass, works for the team and is very creative. Will definitely play the Didier Boyer role from Montpellier.

http://i40.tinypic.com/2nrfryv.jpg

Strong and determined, will be my rock in the midfield.

http://i39.tinypic.com/148bci.jpg

He can finish and is composed so do I play him up front? He can cross, dribble, is great at corners and can beat his man do I play him on the wing? Decisions, decisions.

http://i39.tinypic.com/2lasl0o.jpg

Looks as though he will have the left wing spot locked down, has all the right stats.

Couldn't stay away for long. Had a quick look at the players available and there is some quality. Will post up key players soon.

Want to qualify for the World Cup but the board only want me to be competitive.

http://i42.tinypic.com/2r2r884.jpg

My group. The Czechs have struggled of late only just managing to scrape into the Euros through a playoff with Bulgaria and failing to qualify from their group in the last world cup. Lichtenstein have no real players and only won one game in the qualifying group for the Euros, shouldn't be a problem. Scotland failed to qualify for the Euros and previous to that lost to Denmark in a World Cup playoff. Kazakhstan have one real player and have only 2 friendly wins in 3 years. Italy will be the toughest opposition, however having lost to Croatia in the second round of the World cup and only winning 1 group game (2 draws) I feel we have a chance, also they have struggled against minor teams in the past having drawn to Luxembourg and Belarus recently.

I feel we are a chance of progressing to the world cup here.

Wow. This really hurts. The board were unhappy with me not keeping my promise of bringing youth through the ranks, we had a game against last placed Monaco before the winter break so I took the opportunity to give the youth who haven't played a game. We lost 2-0. Exactly why I wasn't using them because they simply weren't good enough. We were in the European places in the league after a slow start but had won a few games on the trot and were hot on the trail of Real Madrid in the Champions league group stages to progress.

I am gutted. Took them to the champions league semis, qualified for Europe every season and it was only the money that Marseille and PSG had available to them that meant not winning a league title, we came so close the last couple of years too.

Holidaying until the 1st of January, gonna look at some options then decide whether to go for one or wait till the end of the season.

I love Igor, precisely why I chose to give him his last big contract. Shame we couldn't hold onto the lead but hoping Porto beat Real and we can take something from Porto.

Managed to keep them quiet all game, much improved over the performance against Porto. If we can sneak a result at the Bernabeu we will jump Real into second.

A big budget. Don't really know what to do with it. For starters I will offload a couple of players who don't get much game time.


Yeah we have wayyyy too many players, mini clean out and really only buy absolute quality I reckon.

6 in 9 so far, deserves a call up. He's been called up two or three times in the past yet only ever made the bench and didn't get on the field.

Once again we have started the same way we do every season. I put this down to little tactical tweaks before I finally get it right and we go on a huge run of wins. A plus side is that after Lorber missed that first penalty he's gone on to slot home 3 penalties since.

http://i40.tinypic.com/30lz03a.jpg

So I just had no answers for Porto, they were lucky in the Europa league last season but just dominated us here. Good to build the confidence with a huge win over Sparta though.

Lyon spent £73m on transfers. Shows why they are second favorite now.

Last season Champions league winners, the team that knocked me out of the Europa league and some shitty Czech team. Could prove difficult to progress here.

Fucking hell, need to get Lorber to stop taking penalties. Reckon he has missed a good 20 or so since I took over.

Fucking PSG, second player after Paco they have signed after having a stint with me. I wasn't chasing him hard because I don't have the funds for one and two Aka has that left wing spot locked down but still, would have liked to have him back.

Taking a large chunk out of my budget but we need it.
I haven't spent a cent in transfers this season, got rid of some youth and some contracts have expired as well as getting rid of Reyes £50k per week wages to Celta for £2.9m. However with contract upgrades I was reluctant to spend money as I feel we are strong enough to compete and I'm sitting just on £800k per week wages.

Another reason I requested all of these though is my promise to the board to use youth players, I don't wanna use them if they are shit so I need the upgrades. This season I have bought up 3 or 4 players who will get the odd cup game and injury crisis game. They are far from ready though and the oldest is only 18.

They have offered me a 5 year contract, 57k per week. 30.5m transfer budget and 1.55m wage budget.

Declined. I am not leaving until I win the league with Montpellier.

Oh and Lyon are now owned by that Aussie billionaire and look like they will spend upwards of 100m this window, I'll keep you all updated on that.

I don't mind if George jumps in, I know he has done succession games before and I'm pretty sure I have done one with him.

Who am I forwarding the game to now?

Every year I get interest from Liverpool. It's getting very tempting to go back but I'm gonna tough it out with Montpellier. I have brought them this far.

Sissoko and Boyer dominate this award.
Since I've been in charge they have each won it twice.

Personally think you need to just take the France job and call them up now Getting silly!


Problem is he is doing such a damn good job, he's won a world cup and a Euro championship I believe, if I could get the job I would. Want Boyer to play at least one game before he retires he deserves it.
