#204604 [FM14]Johno's career
Johno
I got high hopes for Maurin, hopefully I can turn him into world class striker like I did with Verhappen at Ajax.
I agree

Pre season results
Didn't get off to good start against Augsburg, Went 2-0 down on 38th minutes, with their on loan striker from Schalke getting brace. Captain Benitez pulled one back for us before half time approached. Told the team that I expect a better performance in second half which they responded with 2 goals. Benitez level the score with a bullet header inside the box. The guy who scored 2 goals against us ended up making a mistake after mistiming his header and Diego, headed it in from corner to give us the win.
Tough match against CSKA Moscow, and they was the better side against us. Went into half time, 0-0. They took the lead on 51 minutes after Diego failed to clear the ball and Thalles took advantage to score. Benitez, level the score 7 minutes later with an strike outside the box. We up the game with last 20 minutes with 2 late goals from Palacios and Vasiljev whom both has a great game on the wing for us.
We played brilliant against Atlante and we was guilty of missing chances in front of the goals despite scoring 3.
Completely destroyed them with 6 goals in first half, Palacios was immense for us, disappointing not to score in 2nd half.
We ended up doing an Arsenal
Transfers
Spent over 6M on 8 new players which I am quite please about.
Rolando Moreno - Came across him after his agent offered him to me.
Kang Jong-Duk - Mainly for merchandise option. will be back up.
Dmytro Grechyshkin - this transfer was already pre signed before I took over.
Anthony Maurin - This guy came through OGC Nice when I was there, been keeping an eye on him over the years and decided to take him to Ukraine.
Nabil Kasmi - Took him with me to Ukraine, I felt we was lacking few good left back and he has improved a lot.
Nikita Fedotov - Took a look at our feeder club link, Shakhtar Football Academy and came across him and signed him up for the future. Currently being tutored by Grechyskin.
Olexandr Severyn - Looked at scout report and saw him and I thought he looks pretty good will be back up to our defence.
Guillermo Piaggio - Saw him by pure luck

Sponsorship deals
I'm not sure if that makes sense?
Financial Fair Play
Lucky escape
Transfer budget..
Not bad transfer budget despite having pre signed 2 players for this season plus compensation for staffs, which will be in next update, also in talks with couple players to join the club, hoping to sign few Ukraine nationally players. Selling couple players who on high wage or old.
Have also been busy revamping our backroom staff

I was tempted to stay but I felt Shakhtar was too good to turn down.
#203812 [FM14]Johno's career
Johno
I think it will be tough to knock Monaco off the top. Decided to take it in the end as I felt Shakhtar will be a good challenge especially with the history with the club and trophies. They have fallen behind Dnipro and Dynamo Kiev and have struggled to get between them.
I would like to return to France at some point.

Decided to take the job, I enjoyed my time with Lyon but I always wanted have a crack in Ukraine league, right time to take over Shakhtar
Current team players
As you can see there few old players in the team which I will be looking to replace in the summer.
Formation - I will probably go for 4-2-3-1 or 4-5-1 or 4-1-2-1-2. I will use the pre season to see which will suit the team.
Will also be looking to revamp backroom staff too

I don't think Shakthar can afford him
Cheers Dan! I was disappointed too! I think it was in our hands to finish 2nd but our matches against Sochaux, FC Metz and Saint Etienne didn't turn out the way we wanted to.
Delighted to win the Europa League, one of my objective this season was getting a cracking run in Europa League

Slight increase on our sponsorship
Decent transfer budget, hopefully I can bring in few players to improve the squad.
I'm still undecided on Shakhtar job if they offered me the job
