Amazing turnaround after being sacked by Stoke!

Thanks, although the sacking was totally my fault because I applied for the Bayern job....

Took a few months to get a new club but Boro were getting desperate and gave me a chance.

Summer Transfer Window

After that total collapse at the end of last season, I decided to axe a load of players.

Neto conceded, on average, over two goals per game, so he quickly left and I even managed to make a £2.5m profit on him. I had been chasing another goalie for a few weeks and this extra £10m gave me just enough to cover his costs.

Morris was never going to get any game time so I let him go to the first team that came in.

Ameobi and Nsue both played good roles in getting Boro promoted back in 2016 in my first season, but they were never going to cut it in the Premier League and had been backup for a few seasons.

Nathan wasn't someone I wanted to leave, but Man City activated a £35m release clause in his contract and left me powerless.

Benzia, Rugani and Robert were all free transfers last season but were never able to make a spot in the team their own. So £18.4m for three players I spent nothing on is great!

I had initially thought getting Bamford for £1.5m was a bargain. Turned out to be crap and ended up on loan at Ipswich for 18 months. West Ham came in with £700k and I instantly accepted.

As i'm sure most of you know, Scuffet develops into a world class goalie. I was surprised to see him still at Udinese and went straight in to get him as a replacement for Neto.

The purchase of Hughes only came about because of the forced sale of Nathan. He had initially been lined up to play AMC, but I have since moved him into MC alongside fellow new recruit Renato. Renato has already managed to get 55 U20 appearences so he has clearly been identified as a talented youngster for some time. He has a £65m buyout clause in his contract which should easily fund a replacement should someone come in and take him away.

Jorge is another promising Brazilian youngster at the club. Clyne was the only right back in the first team squad and isn't too far off of 30 years old, so I decided to splash some cash on Jorge.

El Sayed looks a real good player! I'm surprised nobody from Europe had snapped him up before you got there.

I saw that headline and thought Ayala was coming out the closet for a moment there!

I'd say a mid-season/full season review would be better. One at the end of December and one at the end of the season.

What a load of shit. Don't understand why Yedlin hasn't played yet. We sign him as backup to Walker, Walker gets injured and then we play the awful Chiriches. Also please can we release Fazio as soon as possible.

13-12 on penalties in the World Cup final. Got to be the longest shootout in a final ever!

Did Muniain get the golden boot?

Why does Sherwood keep telling everyone how he was so good at Spurs and that he was a success? I like the bloke but he was in no way a success, he wasn't really any better than AVB, just he gave us a more entertaining style of football to watch.

Building a stadium in LMA was always my favourite thing ever for some reason

I used to get one huge stand behind each goal, like the Millennium Stadium stands and then build the two smallest stands on the game in the other two spaces.

The only thing I didn't like about LMA was that you could only play for 20 seasons if I remeber correctly.

Just looking at the Wiki stats you could say Ronaldo's level As he has outscored Messi. Messi from 2004 has 276 goals in 307 games. whereas CR7 since 2009 has 214 in 197 games. 5 years difference and that is all there is. Just look at their records elsewhere as well.

Waste of time anyhow. The greatest forward ever is the real Ronaldo.

If the real Ronaldo hadn't had his injury and weight issues, then I think he would've been the greatest striker ever. He is still my favourite ever striker though.

Found some old Xbox/PS2 games earlier. Loaded up LMA Manager 2004, I forgot how awesome that game is! I ended up playing a couple of hours on an old save I had going in Scotland. The manager changes on it are a bit weird, like Louis van Gaal managing Waterford United and David Batty at some random team in Serie B, although some of the player transfers were even stranger.

Michael Oliver as inconsistent as ever.


Not even close to what Di Maria did.

'Sideways move' for Raheem Sterling if he went to Arsenal imo

I'd say its a step up. Arsenal have a better manager, better players in a better team, more likely to get Champions League football every season and a squad that's more capable of challenging for the title.

Am I seeing it right? You lost 9-1 to Chelsea?

Gutted to see you lost to injury winner against Real

Yeah, we couldn't get top 4 so I rested a load of players against Chelsea for the Europa League final. They were going all out for the win because a win would guarantee them the title. Thats 17 goals conceded in the last two visits to Stamford Bridge...

Brazil must have some pretty insane strikers if Rui Rei hasn't been capped yet! Unless their manager is an idiot.

I didn't realise it was a standalone expansion, I thought it was dlc for Horizon 2 which I don't own. Will have to give it a try although my internet is so slow that Fast and Furious 27 will be out by the time it downloads...

I appear to have been on charge of Arsenal for that season...

Thats three straight seasons outside the top 4 for Arsenal now. You can blame Pep Guardiola and Didier Deschamps for that!

Europa League Final

I literally can't say anything about this game without using several dozen expletives.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/kEkzrdJDy7Gpb2hdfj0DdrbuL4K6mI4i1kl8UvzC.png


2-0 up and then 94th minute...

Damn you Rodriguez, was not great success!

April & May

I decided to mash April and May together in one update. Our great form in March quickly vanished as we went on to win just one of our remaining league games, losing all the others. That was terrible, but I think the only reason the board didn't kick me out the door was because we seem to be saving our best for the Europa League.

I knew PSV would be a tough test, but after winning 4-2 away in the first leg, progression to the semi final was almost assured. We went 4-0 up in the second leg to finish off PSV, despite Ben Gibson getting sent off and conceding three times in the second half. The semis saw us go up against Porto. By this time I realised the only way we could make it into the Champions League was by winning the Europa League. I rested a few players before the first leg and it worked a treat. We won the first leg 3-2 at home before going away to the Estadio do Dragao and winning 2-0! The final however, will be against Real Madrid. Not quite sure how they've ended up in this competition considering they have Ronaldo, Cavani, Bale, Hulk, Kroos, Modric, Rodriguez, Ramos and Varane, but we will not go to defend in the final.

Despite getting humped by nearly everyone we played in the league, we still managed to finish the season with a positive goal difference (just). Our initial 4th place finish objective was failed, by a long way. Sixteen points and three places to be exact. Not a great season in the league.

March

Haven't played this for a while, but I haven't forgotten about it. March was a vast improvement on Febraury as we won all five games, including both of our Europa League games. Walker started the month with back to back trebles but unfortunatly suffered an injury during the Standard Liege first leg. Benzia and Kike have managed to score five goals since Walker has been injured so thankfully we are doing well without him.

Those league wins have done nothing for our Champions League hopes because fourth placed Spurs also won all of their games. Top 4 will be very difficult to get, but we are still mathematically in with a chance so we will not give up the chase!
