Hello,

3rd November 2016 - League Tables
Premier League
Ten games gone in the league and really happy with how we are doing. We are only three points off the Champions League places which I do not expect to finish anywhere near but it's been a pleasing fi...

1st October 2016
Few more international call ups. Nice to see Josh Cullen being called up for Ireland under 21's. He's on loan for this season at Bradford in League One and is doing well there- he may be one to keep an eye on for next season.
1st November 2016
Summer signing Dominic Iorfa has come third in the POTM for October. Really happy for the lad and he looks to be a brilliant addition to the squad. Jose Fonte is his tutor and he seems to be helping him massively.
29th October 2016
Within this career, I am looking to give youngsters a chance to impress. 17 year old Declan Rice has been performing brilliantly for the under 18's and has done really well in training so decided to give him a few minutes against...

24th October 2016
Another injury which is a real shame, especially as it's to Fletcher. He's done well recently so I'll have to see what I can do up top. We have Sakho and Carroll still a few weeks away from full fitness and Antonio is al...

Another youngster will be joining us in January. Niall Ennis will join us from Championship side Wolves. He has great physical stats for a lad of only 17 years old- looking forward to see how this lad progresses. English too which is a...

16th October 2016
Another player will be joining me come the 1st January and this time it's a goalkeeper. Like Vieira, this lad was brought to my attention through my scouts and he's somebody who I think could become a very good player. He is f...

8th October 2016
Frustrating to see Antonio injured again as he's done well this season. Thankfully it's not too bad and he should be back within a month. Time for Ashley Fletcher to stake a claim for his place against Manchester City.
3rd October 2016
Lanzini kicking off again. I felt sorry for him before but he's really starting to annoy me now. I've given him chances in the Europa League and the EFL Cup but he hasn't delivered. I've offered him out but nobody is...

1st October 2016
When I started this career, I outlined my ambition that I am looking to bring in young players and turn them into Premier League standard. Dominic Iorfa has been given a chance of first team football since his arrival from Wolves and has...

Nice to see a large number of my lad's get called up for international duty. Hopefully not too long until Michail Antonio's form gets noticed and he manages a call up.

22nd September 2016
Absolutely gutted for the lad. Sam Bryam has been ruled out for nearly a year with a terrible knee injury. He is currently on loan at Swansea but I am going to recall him now after this horrendous injury. He was sent out on loan to S...

20th September 2016
It's a shame because I know what a good player he is- he just doesn't fit into my system. I played with a BWM in the middle and two CDM's so Lanzini just doesn't fit into my side. I am trying to re-train him as a...

6th September 2016
Decided to stick with the lads who got us into the group stages (with the new signings) to play for us in the group stages. I've said previously that Aaron Cresswell doesn't fit into my system and he's kicking up a fuss...
5th September 2016
The ginger Pele is the next one of my players to be ruled out. My medical staff need sacking.
2nd September 2016
Really not having much luck with injuries. Our top goalscorer Michail Antonio has been ruled out for 2 weeks. With Carroll, Sakho, Drogba and now Antonio, it's time for youngster Ashley Fletcher to step up.
2nd September 2016
Buzzing for Griffiths. He adapted well since his summer move from Celtic and this hat trick will hopefully do him the world of good for his confidence.
1st September 2016
Tried to loan out Masuaku and Henry but had no luck. They will be starters for my reserve side to keep up their match fitness and then I will try and loan then again in January.
31st August 2016
One final signing before the transfer window closes in the form of Icelandic midfielder Aron Gunnarsson. He's a good player and will be adequate back up for Nordtveit in front of the back 4. He also has that huge long throw so defi...
31st August 2016
Italian veteran goalkeeper Christian Puggioni has joined on a 1-year deal after injuries to Adrian and Randolph. Raphael Spiegel will stay as my reserve team keeper but Puggioni will play if Adrian or Randolph are injured. Good stats fo...
29th August 2016
The legend's career is over. Didier Drogba has been ruled out for 9 months with a knee injury. He was meant to retire in December anyway so this means his career has been cut short. Will look to bring him in as a coach when he reti...
28th August 2016
First choice keeper Adrian has been ruled out for 2 months. Second choice keeper Darren Randolph is also out injured at the moment so going to have to delve into the transfer market to bring in a replacement.

Second choice keeper Darren Randolph is ruled out for a few weeks. This means that reserve keeper Raphael Spiegel will make the step up to the matchday squad for the match tomorrow against Burnley.
26th August 2016 - Europa League Draw - Group Stage
Tough group, probably one of the hardest we could of got. Fiorentina will be a tough couple of games- good test for the lads though.
26th August 2016
Another youngster sent out on loan- this time to my feeder side: VVV. VVV play in the second tier of Dutch football so he should get plenty of games. He'll be back with us in January so may look to loan him out to a side in the Ch...
26th August 2016
Shame as he's done well since he's joined the club. Good news it's not a long-term injury though. Unfortunately he will miss the England under 21's match now but I am sure he will be called up again in the future. Ma...

22nd August 2017
Sam Bryam has joined fellow Premier League side Swansea on a loan deal until January. I have insisted that he needs to play RM which will be good for his development. We have quite a few good right wingers and I just couldn't see h...
