#217713 BMG x2

Yeah I was thinking about taking on PSG or Barca and Real, but I really want to beat Bayern first. I might reject the contract, go all out to win the league and see where it takes me. Just hope my reputation can land me a top job somewhere!

The league title would be nice, but it'll be so hard against Bayern.
My relationship with the board isn't really great at the moment, I don't understand the logic behind any of the decisions they are making

Tom Cleverley and Andre Hahn both made it into the Team of The Year and Cleverley also made it into the Players Team of The Year.
Its a shame to miss out on coach of the year again, but it was good to see Sorensen, Zouma, Cleverley and Hahn get recognition for their efforts this season.

Thanks, I didn't expect to be doing this well but if we keep it up then hopefully we'll start to challenge Bayern soon.

So it was BMG vs Dortmund on the final day to decide 2nd place in the league. Only real difference is in the prize money, but we came 3rd last season so i'd quite like to improve on that.
It all started in the 5th minute when Sokratis got booked. You can see where that is going already! Dortmund then took the lead through Kevin Grosskreutz on 19 minutes and then from kick off, Dortmund won the ball back and went 2-0 up on 20 minutes. But the chaos didn't stop there as Sokratis then gave away a penalty, picked up another yellow card and got sent off in the 21st minute. Andre Ayew converted from the spot in the 22nd minute to pull it back to 1-2. A mad few minutes but despite coming out of it all a goal down, we had the initiative due to having a man advantage. Peniel Mlapa, the guy thats been playing while Kruse is out, then equalised towards the end of the first half. Despite our man advantage, it still remained an end to end game, but we eventually completed the comback when Andre Hahn scored in the 66th minute. From then on we held Dortmund off and claimed victory and 2nd place in the league!
Final League Standings
Here is confirmation of our 2nd place finish. Only 1 league game has been played since the last update, but it was an important one.
2016 DKB-Pokal Final
Ever since Bayern and Dortmund got knocked out early in the competition, I felt confident that we could add this trophy to our collection following last seasons EL success. Augsburg must have been incredibly low on confidence coming in to this game as they had just been relegated from the Bundesliga while winning less games than any other team.
The best way for us to approach them was to go all out attack and destroy any fight they had in them early. It turned out that they didn't really have any fight in them at all. Sorensen scored his 8th goal of the season to put us 1-0 up early on, and then the flood gates opened. Peniel Mlapa then scored a 14 minute hat trick to put us into a 4-0 lead after just 22 minutes! That was pretty much game over and the only real thing worthy of reporting from the rest of the game was Ayews late penalty to make it 5-0. Augsburg were truly awful and I could see why we wouldn't be seeing them in the Bundesliga next season, they didn't even manage a shot on target.
CUP CHAMPIONS 2016
So the 2015-16 season has finished. It was a great season for us, 2nd in the league, cup winners and also a good run to the quarter finals in the CL. Next season the target has to be to see if we can take the title from the powerhouse that is Bayern Munich. Thats not going to be easy, but with Kruse back and a few new faces coming in, we can really push on to the next level.
End of season awards to come in the next update.

Champions League
The second leg with United was quite dull if i'm honest. They played like they knew they were beaten and we went to shut them out. There was literally nothing interesting to report from this game unfortunatly. But this 0-0 meant we go into the hat for the CL quarter final draw!
The quarter final draw was made a few days after the 2nd United game. The best draw for us would've been Porto, but instead we have to face PSG in a repeat of last years EL final. But this time it was over 2 legs which makes them a much harder team to beat.
PSG vs BMG
We had to travel to Paris for the first leg. It got off to a dream start when Sorensen gave us a first minute lead. But PSG, roared on by the home crowd, came back at us and raced into a 3-1 lead. That was the score at half time, but just 2 minutes after the second half began, Ayew pulled a goal back to set up a potential draw or win. Unfortunatly for us, PSG remained in control and held out for a 3-2 win. Shaw and Zouma suffered injuries in this game, but both should be able to make their returns in the return leg.
The second leg started off well, but then in the 26th minute, our brightest attacking player Ayew, had to go off injured. An already hard task made harder. PSG obviously feeling sorry for us, gave us a chance to level the aggregate scores from the spot, but Raffael couldn't finish it and missed the spot kick. From then on PSG took the game to us and pinched the lead 1 minute before half time through Cavani. We would have many shots in the last 45 minutes, but none went in. Depay then put PSG 2-0 up and all but sealed progression for the French team. The game did eventually finish 0-2 (2-5) but we can take great pride having beaten Chelsea away and then dumped out United without even conceding. All thats left now is to try and progress in the cup and take 2nd place in the league.
DKB-Pokal Semi Final
The win in March over Schalke sent us into a DFB-Pokal semi final against Hertha Berlin. We were the better team for a majority of the game but Hertha weren't just going to roll over and let us win. We had to dig deep after that CL exit but Granit Xhaka scored in injury time to see us progress to the final where we will meet Augsburg!
March - April Results
March and April saw our worst run of form since I took over at the start of last season. We went through a period of just 1 win in 7 games, and that was a scrappy game against a team heading for relegation. Not great form heading into the cup semi final, but we won that game and it kickstarted our form once more in time for a very important end of the season.
League Standings
Bayern ran away with the league as you'd expect. But the battle for 2nd will go to the last day. For some reason the Bundesliga is ending a lot earlier than it did last season, although that could be because of the upcoming Euro 2016 tournament. The final day clash will see us fight directly against Dortmund to see who finishes as runner up. We are at home, but Dortmund only need a draw and are expected to win. Lets see what happens!

Thanks for reading it all! The first season went way better than I expected, the win in Europe was something I thought wouldn't happen for a few seasons.
The second season so far has been good, although its unlikely that i'll be repeating the european success! Bayern still look too strong in the league, so for now its all about the DKB-Pokal.

Interesting, is it a world class player?
I really didn't expect to beat United like that. I thought we had a chance to edge them, but not batter them!

Once again i'm starting with the CL! Our opponents for the first knockout round were Manchester United. We had signed Tom Cleverley on a free and Luke Shaw on a loan from them at the start of the season. While the Shaw loan deal was being negotiated, we agreed with his parent club that should we meet each other this season, that Shaw will be allowed to play.
Shaw started, along with Cleverley, the home leg of our tie. United had recently been beaten by Stoke and we set out from the off, just like we did against Chelsea, to beat them back into their own box. It didn't have quite the same success as it did with Chelsea as United held us out for a half time score of 0-0. But what I knew I could count on was my players attitude and work rate. On average, we actually have the highest work rate of any team in the Bundesliga. In this second half United would find this out first hand. Just 5 minutes in and Andre Hahn put us 1-0 up. We smell blood, United are hurt, we have finally breached their backline. Wave after wave of BMG attacks afterwards brought no goals, but this was no worry as United failed to create a single clear cut opportunity at the other end. We went again and charged at their tired and weak defence and scored 2 more late goals to firmly plant 1 foot in the Champions League quarter-finals. 3-0 winners against a Manchester United team containing van Persie, Falcao, Di Maria, Rooney, Mata & Thiago Alcantara is a result to be proud of!
The second leg will be played at Old Trafford next month.
January - February Results
After the winter break had finished, we resumed our Bundesliga campaign with a surprise loss against Hamburg. It was very nearly 2 defeats in a row until Younes scored a 90th minute equaliser against Hertha in the next game. Our form picked up a bit after that with 3 straight wins, including beating Schalke in the DFB-Pokal quarter final. We play Hertha in the semi and then either Augsburg or lower league Frankfurt Erlenbruch in the final should we make it there.
League Standings
As usual, Bayern have begun to pull away and look like they are going to once again win the league. We still have to play Bayern for a 2nd time, so a win there could make things a little more interesting.
January Transfer Business
Once again I have managed to find some good players available on a free transfer. I am particularly pleased with the Vilhena signing as he looks as though he will be good enough to go straight into the starting XI. We'll have to wait until July to be 100% sure though. The others are promising youngsters, with the 2 coming from Manchester both looking like they could be great strikers for me in the future. I had also tried to sign Nick Powell and Xherdan Shaqiri on frees, but Powell eventually penned a new contract with United and Shaqiri wanted far too much money for my liking. Barcelona ended up coming in and signing him instead.

Thanks! It was a near perfect run in the league
He wanted a wage of just over £100k. No way I was doing that, so I offered £70k instead and made that part non-negotiable. Plenty of bonuses and clauses made up for the lower than wanted wage. So we definatly have the strength on our side with Max around!
Thanks, I always knew Basel and Steaua were beatable, but I didn't think we'd get that close to topping the group! If Bayern stumble a bit and we keep up our brilliant form, then who knows what could happen

Champions League
There is only one place to start this update, the Champions League! We had 6 points from the first 3 games in the group, sitting 2nd behind Chelsea on 9. Our 4th game ended 0-0 with Steaua while Chelsea won 1-0 away at Basel. Chelsea had won 8-0 in the home game.
The 5th group game saw us travel to Stamford Bridge. Nobody gave us a hope, the bookies even had them down at evens to win the game. I didn't expect much out of it either if i'm honest. Kurt Zouma was in my starting XI as I had convinced Chelsea to allow him to play should we face each other. We went there with a game plan to go at them from minute 1 and worry them. It worked and 21 minutes in, Frederik Sorensen, signed on a free in the summer, put us 1-0 up. From that moment on the game was very much under our control. We then went and scored a 2nd goal in the 2nd half when another summer free transfer Tom Cleverley scored. We held on to our 2-0 lead until the 87th minute when Diego Costa pulled a goal back for the hosts. But it was too late and their players didn't have it in them to go again which allowed us to secure an amazing 2-1 win away at Chelsea!
After that incredible win, we were left on 10 points from 5 games. Chelsea were only 2 points ahead. The final group games saw us host Basel and Chelsea travel to Steaua. We won our game 2-0, but to win the group, Chelsea would have to lose. We could finish level on points but their superior goal difference was too big to overcome. Unfortunatly for us Chelsea didn't lose, they won 8-3 away!
So we finish 2nd in the group and will run the risk of facing a team like Barcelona or Real Madrid in the next round. Bring it on!
The best draw we could hope for was either Porto or Benfica. We didn't get either and instead got a tough opponent from England. Like the deal with the Zouma loan from Chelsea, Luke Shaw will also be available for this clash against his parent club.
November - December Results
As you can see below, our great form in the CL was also translating into superb domestic form. Both in the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal. Kruse, despite his agent suggesting he could be wanting to leave, was still in world class form and has scored 5 goals in the last 6 games before the winter break.
League Standings
Despite that good form, and Bayern playing 2 less games due to the Club World Cup, we still sit in 2nd place. Their incredibly tight defence could be what sees them retain their title. We wont let them get away too easily though! The early season good form from Koln has shattered and they have slipped all the way down to 11th. Dortmund are in 3rd, but 14th place is only 8 points behind them.
DFB-Pokal Draw
The Pokal is looking increasingly like a winnable competition. Bayern lost in round 2 and Dortmund lost in round 3. If we can beat Schalke in the next round, I don't really see any other teams that can beat us. Hopefully we can do it!
Lastly, I wanted to end on a great piece of news.
