Joe Boy Activity
December 2020
I feel like I can copy and paste exactly what happened last December for the league pursuit, except replace who I'm chasing with Arsenal. I spent the first couple of months struggling in 7th/8th until I finally found some form in late-...
August 2020
As previous season, let's have a chat about ins/outs and contract renewals. Transfers;
Let's talk the ins, as there are no real surprises, bar one. As I previously spoke about, I had a good size transfer kitty and was determined to...
Let’s hope so. The alternative is that he will upset the balance of the squad. As I only play one up top, he is quite the departure from the bustling powerhouse that is Lukaku. As things stand, Lukaku is still here. I don’t know whether to s...
The Greatest / Club Legend
June 2020
So an overall great season, with the only blemish being the early FA Cup exit.
The Premier League, on the face of it, looks like I walked it. But as you can see in the form table, this really wasn't the case. We didn't take top spot...

May 2020
And we've done it again! And by the seat of our pants, taken to the last game of the season after a second to last game loss to Everton.
Next up, a champions league final against Juventus, and also, an update on a rather special signing.....
Thanks mate. I good result in UCL to come, I'll update at the end of the season.
In the meantime;
February 2020
And there we have it, first cup competition of my career.
A close game, which in truth, Liverpool should have one.
February 2020
So the end of the Winter transfer window, and not a whole lot to update on. In terms of ins, there were none. I did however manage to snafu a couple of Real Madrid players on pre-contract deals;
I tried to get the pair in early, but Real...
December 2019
Some quick updates on the transfer and contract fronts;
Eric Bailly would not relent in his pursuit to leave the club and Barca would not stop sniffing around him. As he was about to become a free agent, or at least talk to other clubs in a...
August 2019
Let's talk first about transfers and contract renewals. Out...
A good money offer for Lingard. Having looked across other people's stories, Lingard to Arsenal or Chelsea for decent money seems to be a common theme. Yes he was one...
If it makes you feel any better, they won the Champions League against Atleti
May 2019
Absolute scenes! Liverpool have led the charge all season, with a 5 point lead throughout. Second to last game against Liverpool and a 5-1 win, leaving them with a two point lead. We needed a win against Bournmouth and had to hope that Liverpool...

February 2019
And here end the Winter transfer window. As you all know, we spent big on Sancho and Brandt, blowing most of my load on the young Bundesliga pair. Which was all the more fun with Sancho getting an injury and 2 month lay off after 18 minutes...
January 2019
Sniffing around the players through December worked out well. Julian Brandt came in for a good price and will slot straight into the RM slot. With one eye on Brexit, I was determined to get hold of Sancho for the left. Can't say I was t...
November 2018
Here we go...
That's a crazy amount of transfers in one season. Has you considered how Brexit will impact your squad? You've moved on a lot of "British" players: Smalling, Mata, Jones, Young and Lingard. I'm sure Herrara and Fellaini take on Br...
You know what, I didn't even know they had been relegated! Good luck! How long before a Bundesliga challenge?
Thanks man. Yeah, it's good to blood the youth. Even if it's to bring their value up and move on.
Is this him?
He looks OK on FM. Maybe stick him on loan and see how he does. He's still very young though
October 2018
Just a quick update on the contract front, Mata and Herrera have proven my need to keep the squad in place. So both given rotation contracts.
Also time to pin down our two best youth prospects to the club on longer term deals. Hope to see...
Thanks chaps
Thanks Buddy! Looking forward to the Hamburg save
Talking staff, and with the window closed, now is the time to invest in the backroom team
The club was lacking a director of football and assistant manager, god knows how Mour is coping in real life. In comes Villareal's Pablo Ortells as director...
June 2018
So here we go. Man Utd manager, in what will hopefully be a long and illustrious career. My aim is to buy the best players and supplement with youth development. I will tend to have a world class starting 11, with a backup 11 of prospects. Th...
I know what you're thinking, "OMG another Man Utd story, why would I be interested." Well no, I very much doubt this will be any more or less interesting that any other Man Utd save. I have strived year on year to get the "The Greatest" and "Club Legend"...
Good luck with this one chap. Who knew there was so much to win in Norn Ireland? Beautiful artwork
Ha ha, no drama. I appreciate you all have lives. Just a bit of cheeky banter for the chaps
Waiting for stop 9 got me like...

Squeaky bum time indeed...
FEBRUARY 2018
One month into the job, and the end of the transfer window. So what's been happening?
RESULTS
So, the first game was a real baptism of fire, getting spanked 4-0 by Coventry. I rightly lost my rag with the team, with top scorer Uche I...
A great read! Looks like you've enjoyed this one mate. I thought I was being brave, but you've blown my aspirations out of the water with some of the countries you're playing. My cap is doffed to you
Looks like the the first season was sewn up fairly easily, well done. hame about the Europa though, but Real will do that to you.
Where do you plan to play Sessegnon when he's back from Watford? I found him best as a wing back, but maybe because I�...
So there I was, wondering if I needed to pack my wellies for Scotland, when my local(ish) team Cambridge came knocking. After 6 failed interviews and god knows how many unsuccessful application, League 2 Cambridge United have decided to try their luc...
JANUARY 2018
This is the one, I can feel it in my bones. I'm pulling on the spirit of my great-great-second cousin thrice removed, who was Scottish, on my dads side that I can get my first job. Here goes...
DECEMBER 2017
NOVEMBER 2017
After applying for what feels like 30 jobs, I finally have my first interview. Harry Kewell was fired from his job for having an annoying wife, so they decided to take the plunge and give me a job interview, better take my wedding ring of...
Ah yeah, I forgot about Mahrez. The similarities in positions are there too. Winger-come-attacker with the hopes of the nation on their shoulders.
JUNE 2017
A new young manager appears from the wild, eyes bleary with nought but a pocketful of dreams and delusions of grandeur. No aim here, just to be the best manager I can be with absolutely no experience and no coaching badges.
Leagues loaded ar...

Thanks Bud. I think it really shows how important a good tactic and team chemistry is. I'm hoping this will finally transfer to the international stage.
It also shows that as time goes one and the league is flooded with better foreign players, the...
