#179259 Some seasons Ferrisin'
Sheriff Skacel
Good backup striker with a physical presence, cost me 75k.
Starting AMC, one of the few American players who can actually pass the ball, cost 150k cos his deal was coming up in a months time. I took the risk, signed him and he accepted a new contract with me. Bargain.
Taken in the waiver draft as a good option from the bench at AMC, ST and potentially MC.
Defensive depth from the waiver draft.

Real happy with these 4 guys, good mix of squad depth and starting talent. Their signings set me up lovely for the SuperDraft.

1. So everyone can get used to my tactics
B) So everyone can get used to each other
Really happy with the squad now, we have youth (only four guys are over 24), options all over the pitch and great depth. Just need to let things settle down a bit now and build towards the start of the season. Providing we don't get any pre-season injuries I don't think I'll be making any new signings from now on.

By the time it came to my first draft pick (6th overall) I was deadset on taking an MC, but when I checked who was available I saw that the lad who I thought would go first overall was still available, so I ended up taking him. He's a tidy striker who picked up a hip injury before the draft and is out for 3 month, for that reason no one took him. But I think he's worth the risk. Will post screenies soon enough.

And as if by magic we have ourselves a half decent draft class. In the first round I have the sixth pick, I definitely want one or two more first round picks so gonna go shopping.

- Backup defender (probably get him through the draft)
- 3 MCs (two signings, one draft)
- Backup AMC
- Two STs
Already starting to move some players in the squad, no bids for Hoilett as of yet however.

Disappointing but ultimately I think I came in too late to really have an impact on the club. Far from happy with the makeup of the squad, hate the fact we have Hoilett, and Pontius still gets my goat. Gonna map the squad out and see what to change, but I definitely want shot of them two.
I think my mid-season signings did really well, especially Bowes who got 7 in 7, just need to add to the squad and build something a little more balanced. Finished 13th overall so I'll have a half decent draft pick, again its a case of if its a strong draft class I'll look to add to my picks and get some real talented youngsters in.
Although tbh the draft seems to do nothing for MLS, I've looked over the past few drafts and next to no players do anything. Hell, from the 2015 draft five of the top six picks have now retired. Needs sorting for FM2015, SI really struggle to capture what the draft is all about and all the wheeling and dealing that goes on involving draft picks.

Didn't have to give up too much for my boys, have 1.8m in allocation funds so plenty to play with.
Had him from my time as US manager so we all know what he can do, my go to goal guy.
Stability at the back, another on my radar from my time as US manager.
Good cover for DC and MC.
Just a backup RB, nothing more nor less.

In my time away from the adoring Susie public I have tactically refined myself as promised, stints with Lyon and in the Belorussian second division have finally delivered a tactic I am pleased with. What started as a 4321 with Lyon to take advantage of Gourcuff and Grenier has evolved into a very stable 4312, I'm happy enough with the tactic and in my mind its only weakness is the inconsistency of the STCR role, but we will fix that over time.
So yes, at DC, I signed some boys, sorted some scouts and lost some games. Few games left in season, will update yous with signings in the next seven minutes.

Time to finish what I started with DC. Why am I back? Well lets just look at the clubs DPs;
The Mexican RB and Vaughn excite me a lot, I definitely think I can get the best from them. Hoilett however could prove more troublesome, but I'm gonna try to forge a strike partnership between he and Vaughn.
So, who is left from my first stint with the club? Well, we have Johnson in goal still, Heath Pearce is here still and Chris Pontius is about. Its a long shot but we can still make the playoffs this year 10 games to go, lets win 8.

Defeats in our next two games and the dream ended. And with that I call time on my time with the US of A.
Very much an up and down career marked by inconsistency and Landon Donovan.
Where to next? Back to the MLS. I'm not ready to walk away from America just yet, I fancy another MLS title and then I'll begin to look at Mexico / South America. Maybe even Scandinavia, I like the idea of following the path laid out by American players and managers in real life.

A beautiful, beautiful team performance and the absolutely perfect start to things.
Sadly Sonora is out for the rest of the WC, pretty big blow as I had him down as a game changer from the bench at AMC. Now that role goes to Julian 'The next Freddy Adu' Green.

Mixed bag really, slow start but we got there as the fitness levels went up. Think my starting eleven for the first game will feature Parker and Donovan uptop, goals please.

And there is my World Cup squad, delighted to have Dempsey and Donovan in the mix, only a few players who haven't featured massively over the past few years and they are as follows;
Been in one or two of my squads and injury to Omar Gonzalez sealed his place in my squad.
Came in during the playoffs vs Uruguay and got two goals over the two legs, I think he could be a handful from the bench.
Been trying to get this guy into the fold since I arrived, and he only accepted a call up once we made the World Cup. He'll be starting and he'll be our main goal threat.

62 days till the Spain game. 80 till our World Cup starts vs Russia.

We've done it the hard way but it doesn't matter, we've done it. Without the injured Demp and Wondo and without the retired Donovan.
#174228 Some seasons Ferrisin'
Sheriff Skacel
God damn it, we just got totally undone by the class of Cavani. I gave young Bowes a debut for his pace and he repaid me with a goal, but damn it, we could have won this. We can do this. BELIEVE.
#174223 Some seasons Ferrisin'

Over the course of qualifying we just couldn't get enough goals, just shows you how important Donovan was for us.
Bloody Uruguay in the playoffs, huge.
#174214 Some seasons Ferrisin'

Far, far too tight. I do think we'll make it but Jesus, I just wish we had some consistency.
#174210 Some seasons Ferrisin'
Sheriff Skacel
Four games left, three of which are away from home. I'm still on course for qualifying but we need to pick things up, I want the World ranking up a bit to try and give us a bit of an easier WC group.

THEY MUTILATED SENOR DONOVAN.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
WHAT IS THIS?
He's retiring on 202 caps for gods sake, I wanted him to get to 300 under my tutelage.

He's our man
If he can't do it
Bradley and Wondo can.
