April 2026 | RFC Liege | Belgium18th April 2026I thought that the new owner had pumped his own money in the club to clear the debts, but that wasn't the case. I received an email from the board saying we were now starting to pay back the loan we've just t...

The Season So Far | RFC Liege | Belgium5th January 2026 I've taken over RFC Liege midway through a season, and it's a season that they are drastically struggling in. Before the season the media had them predicted to finish in 10th position. I can tel...
CLUB #2 - RFC LiegeI'd been out of the management gig for around 2 months when RFC Liege came calling asking me to interview for the vacancy manager role. I went along, and was offered the job the next day. It's not an easy job, as they're struggling mass...

June 2025 | FS Jelgava | Latvia22nd June 2025 How do we go from having 8 games in a month, to one singular game. I've no idea, but that's what happened. I'm thinking there was a little mid-season break at some point, not that I fully realized....
@Zebramanii, thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment! Gives me more motivation to continue! Yeah, the lesser known teams are always the most fun in my opinion. I often go off the beaten track first! The lack of an U18s manager is really star...
April 2025 | FS Jelgava | Latvia28th April 2025 We sit here at the end of April, and the league campaign has seen us start off to an absolute flyer. Unforyuntately though, we've suffered a fair amount of injuries to our bigger name players. Van...

July 2024 | FS Jelgava | Latvia28th May 2024 When I'm about to tell you that things are going ridiculously well, then you'd probably think I've got a win or two! You wouldn't be wrong, but you are wrong at the same time! We are absolutely flyin...

April 2024 | FS Jelgava | Latvia30th April 2024 Football comes thick and fast here in Latvia. 6 league games this month and they come with weird gaps in between them! Sometimes we're playing 2 games in 3 days which seems absurd to me. Anyway, I...

October 2023 | FS Jelgava | Latvia30th September 2023 Who said Latvian football isn't exciting eh? The difference in the squads morale from when I first took charge and now is like chalk and cheese. They believe they can win every game, a...
September 2023 | FS Jelgava | Latvia30th September 2023 I had been in charge for a meagre 2 days before my first game in charge, and that first game couldn't have been any harder. A massive game against title leaders Riga. Could we upset them?...
