Players:
Major comings and goings at the club as I look to strengthen and build a side that is capable of at least a mid-to-high final league placing. Was pretty pleased about capturing the signatures of these players:-
Pierre-Antoine Martini
Came through the youth system of French Ligue 1 side OGC Nice and spent last season at Livingston. Solid 'keeper albiet a little more eccentric than I'd have liked but beggers can't be choosers!
Benjamin Laurant
Another Frenchman, this time a graduate of the Le Havre youth set-up where he spent 6 years before spending last season at Kilmarnock but made 0 appearances. I reckon he has some real ability and will do well at this level.
Jean-José Cuenca
ANOTHER FRENCHMAN! This time a product of giants, Lyon. He also played for Livingston in the 2011/12 season and made 17 appearances so he has some previous experience at this level and will be able to help the other French boys settle in better.
David McAlinden
The St. Mirren youth prospect joins us on-loan with us contributing 30% of his wages (£9 p/w lol) so it's a good deal. Has potential and will be seeing his fair share of first-team action this season so I hope he develops while he's at the club.
Flávio Paixao
Portuguese speed-merchant Flávio spent 2 seasons in the SPL with Hamilton Accies making 55 appearances and scoring 9 goals. So a wealth of experience at a higher level should do him well. I'm also pretty hopeful that his pace will cause trouble for the slow fullbacks in the league.
Staff:
Basically sacked all of the existing staff as they were really poor quality. Managed to bring in 2 Coaches (that's all I'm allowed), 2 Scouts, a Head of Youth Development and a better Assistant Manager. I suppose it will need to do for a season anyway. The Assistant Manager was pretty much chosen as he is the best freebie available with decent Motivating and Man Management attributes:-
Luis Manuel Rubiales
In his playing career, Rubiales played 53 games in La Liga over 3 seasons and 1 season at Hamilton Accies in the SPL. He was known to be a not very skilled player but a tenacious and brave centre half.
So I finally had the time to get back to this and get the Pre-Season fixtures out of the way:-
Pretty pleased with the friendlies overall I'd say. Couple of solid results particularly against Sheffield Wednesday and Montrose.
Not sure if I'll add any more players to the squad as it is. Not because I feel that the squad is ready, is more the lack of quality additions that are interested in joining.

Having a good season so hopefully you can keep it up!

Yeah I had the first part of the challenge in mind when I chose Airdrie. Wanted a side that has little or no chance of promotion and hopefully finish high enough in the league but not get promoted. 2nd would be ideal!

Absolute sexual skin here but this is also ruining it a little for me.

Do you plan to resign at the end of the season, regardless?

So Airdrie United was the side I decided to start with. They have the 3rd lowest reputation in the league and are predicted to finish down near the foot of the table.
The squad is pretty big with loads of cover for all positions, but they lack some quality. Particularly in midfield so that is where I'll look to strengthen first I think. Got some decent youth prospects in the squad with Marc Warren, Gavin Griffin, Jamie Barclay and Ryan Donnelly all with great potential. So I'll be looking at including them in the team from the off.
I predict quite a lot of transfer activity both in and out of the club as I think a lot of the midfield needs replacing as well as a few striker and another goalkeeper brought in.
There's also NO coaches at the club really so I'm gonna need to do a lot of hiring at the beginning.

Haha sounds like I've set myself up for a tough season going by how poorly they are doing in everyone elses games!
Thanks!

Cheers mate, same goes for you with Partick!
Yeah they will be a tough team to start as but that only makes it more fun!

OK so I couldn't resist a pop at this. The chance to try and win the Europa League as a non-Old Firm club and then revive a 'Sleeping Giant' in the Premier League is something I think I can really get into.
So, emulating arguably the most feared and respected manager in footballing history is the way to go. During this career I will be following 'The Fergie way' which means:
- Starting at a Low-reputation Scottish Division One side.
- After one season, leaving them for a lower-placed but higher-reputation Division One side and guiding them to the SPL.
- Then moving on to a non-Old Firm SPL team and building them up until I win the Europa League.
- Finally when that has been accomplished I will move to a 'Fallen Giant' in the EPL and turning them into one of (if not THE) best sides in World football.
During my career, I will also follow these 'Fergie' style rules:
- Start with 'Professional Footballer' as my past-experience.
- I may or may not become manager of the Scotland team briefly, if the opportunity arises.
- NO player is bigger than the club. If a player wants to go, he will be sold.
- I will attempt mind-games a lot.
- No-holds-barred criticizing of officials for decisions that cost my team points.
- Build up and make best use of Youth Systems at both long-term clubs (SPL and EPL clubs).
Well here goes...

Failing that is there anyway I could find older facepacks as I'm sure he will be in a Clyde one as manager in 2009.
Cheers.
