Ooooft glad to see the change of formation and roles are working. I tend to really only move one or two positions around and change some minor roles because I believe it might be detrimental to change nearly everything, but you two have proved me wrong.

My dad, Uncle and I are investing in a race horse. This will be my dad's 3rd and my uncles 2nd I believe. Old man missed out on one for sale at $12k which has won over $300k so far so fingers crossed this works out.

Fucking hell, took our foot off the pedal after the sending off and well shit. A game we should have won easy.

1 point out of the 6 with a game in hand.

Fucky fuck fuck fuck, 2-1 up but lose 3-2. Prolly a deserved result though we didn't really dominate anything.

Pretty even game, we had possession they had the shots. Good to see our fringe players are chipping in though during this injury crisis.

Speaking of injury, Gardiner out for 2 weeks now.

I made an error here, my attention was elsewhere and it was about 80 minutes into the game before I realised and made my subs. Could have prolly got the win.

We also have two long term injures, Howe and Tusini are both gonna miss over a month.

Had the majority of possession and shots, the put 2 on target and score both. I played with a second string side though due to fixture congestion.

Dunno what this bloke has to do to get a France call up, he has been one of my best since I started here.

Knew this would happen. Money is starting to get tight but the wages are going down again come July 1 and I shouldn't need to purchase anyone really.

I'm currently leaking about £1.2m a month. Not good enough. I am well under wage budget, £209k at the moment. That will go to about £250k once the contracts expire and some players leave. I've also made the habbit of when signing players who are replacement players, trying to get them for less then the outgoing player. It has worked well so far considering when I joined we were spending over 800k on wages that is now 688k.

The problem is our match day income is pretty much nullified by the loans. Much needed income from the champions league and once again reducing the wage budget should hopefully see us turn a profit some months.

Said I'd get Europe at the start of the season but to finish 3rd with so many youngsters is amazing. Just hope it doesn't send an unrealistic expectation of me next season.

Just to give you an idea we are mid table in nearly everything. Our midfield and attack via comparison are about 6th on average but my defence and goalkeeping are pretty bad overall. That should improve with the new left back from Reading.

We made the semi final of the Coupe de France before going out 2-1 away to Evian. Just FYI I fielded a second string team for every game but were very lucky with the draw facing some league 2 sides on the way.

We got smashed in the Coupe de la Ligue 3rd round by Arles 4-1 in extra time. It was on the back of a 4 game win streak but my squad was clearly too tired with the mix of fixtures, at one point I had played 4 games more then the other league teams. Hence my decision to use a complete 2nd string side for the other cup.

At the start of the season Rafik had the number one spot but a drop in form coupled with 3 draws on the bounce in games we should have won easy made me give Gil back his spot. He didn't fail and played the remainder of the season minus the cup games.

Alberto isn't the fullback I thought he would be, will be moving him to center back next season and giving Ramdani a start.

Diallo and Sissoko were just awesome once again. Going to be very hard for Alberto to userp one of them.

Rousseau playing in the unfamiliar left midfield role was awesome. He finished with 14 assists in the league. There was a point when in January Aka had joined us and I was starting him there but soon realized I needed Rou back and we played as a much better team for it.

Reyes was the other who joined in January on a free, a goal every 2 games and 5 assists. He will be huge for us next season.

And finally Igor 22 from 39, was only through Marseille having two players score more then him that he didn't feature in the golden boot. Marseille are a freak team though and you can see that in the league table.

The reserves were very good when called upon and minus the lack of a left back and a proper right back I'm very happy with my depth.

Lol.

Think they have seen what I've done so far and want me back. 24 games in I am 4th which is just about where I was aiming for this season. I've got a very young squad exactly what I had at Liverpool. I am currently 8 games unbeaten. Montpellier stuck with me after struggle first season and now look what's happened.

Oh and that left back I missed out on because Reading wanted £18m I have no got coming on a free at the end of the season
