@Sean_ Luiz Carlos is on the maximum wage, so it is £66k p/week The transfer window has finally ended and after a busy transfer window, here is what we did. For the ins, from Walter Gonzalez upwards, they were all signed by the previous manager,...

The final signing, and its a big one. Chieck Tiote comes in from Newcastle for £2.6m. He was transfer listed as he always is, and I thought he'd want a load of money, but he only wanted £23k which isn't bad considering we have two pl...

Another backup central midfielder comes in, this time from Rosenborg. He only cost £230k, and his major downside is his name; I can't be writing that everytime he pops up during my time here, so I'll give him a nickname

The first big permenant signing of the window, as Pontus Jansson comes in from Torino for £1m. He was transfer listed, and he looks really good for this level so he should be worthwhile buying. He is also 6'4" so hopefully his height will...

@Ipswich Knights Oh, they're too far down, don't have those leagues loaded 4 more signings, just to fit the Saudi quota really. Al Shahrani can play anywhere across the backline and comes in from Al-Hilal for £650k, Al Dossari will b...

The first thing I set out to address was the goalkeeper. I had plenty of money to spend, however when I saw Alphonse Areola become available on loan, I couldn't pass it up. He is far too good to be playing in Saudi Arabia, but either way, it doesn�...

Here's the squad I have at my disposal currently. We have two Brazilians who are on over £50k p/week, with only Luiz Carlos starting week in week out. Therefore Osvaldo may have to be shifted on. We also have two significant loanees in defence....

And just like that, I am on to my next country; Saudi Arabia! I only recently added them into the game, as Japan and China weren't offering an potential title winning sides to manage, excluding, obviously, Guangzhao. I always consider managing in Sau...

This job came up, and I had to go for it. Al-Ahli are one of the top teams in Saudi Arabia and are also loaded with cash. They also have a better reputation than Brisbane Roar so hopefully I can attract more big name players..

So if you'd drawn one of the games, you would have stayed up? Hopefully you can bounce back up next year. Also, how do you get through seasons so fast? I can't believe you've done 8 seasons already!

Three more significant dealings at the club; Pawel Dawidowicz comes in on a free, and as you can see by his scout report, he looks to be one of the best players at the club. He is also only 22, and came from Benfica B on a free so should be good. We also...

The first two relatively important departures at the club. Iqbal Jawadi left to Seognam in Korea for £500k. He was a rotational player in the end, but was complaining that he wanted the team to be built around him, which just wasn't realistic....

@Ipswich Knights I'm using the Sangue Blu one. I could have used the other one that is available, but there are less leagues, and I'd rather play in more different countries than fewer that are more realistic. It's still fun though Unfor...

I just said should I leave, this should help you make a decision... Guangzhao Evergrande sacked their manager. They have Jackson Martinez, Ricardo Goulart, Alan, Paulinho and new signing Kevin Mirallas. I think this would be good to take as it is a new na...

Having just won the league, I was hoping that the players weren't still hungover from the win earlier in the week. But we had beaten quality opposition on the way to the final, and in that final, we play a team from the division below us, but the top...

And we did it! First season, first trophy. It was a very nervy game, especially as most of my attention was on the other two games, as I knew if Melbourne won, then whatever went on in our game was irrelevant. But abdoulaye Bamba scored, and came up when...

On the final day, we could still win the league and cup double, but to do so, we needed to win and for Wellington Pheonix to beat Melbourne Victory. If us and Melbourne Victory both lost, and Adelaide United won, they could come from out of nowhere and sn...

A few games later, and we had the chance to get a lead at the top, but we slip up to already relegated side, Sydney Olympic. We're performing above expectations anyway, and we have a cup final to look forward to as well, so it's not the end of t...

Back to reality. I don't think we can do it, as it is no longer in our hands. But in the next game, we beat them in the cup, to get the the final. A comprehensive victory over the two legs, at 7-2, Novillo being the standout player in this game.

There we go! We have actually taken top spot back. Although we have been close to there all season, I never actually believed we'd be this close at the end of the season. Anyway, we beat Sydney United 2-0, Holman scoring a double again. Adelaide Unit...

Unfortunately, Luciano Becchio is injured again with a hernia, and will be out for around 7 weeks. And the first game without him was against top of the table Melbourne Victory. We managed to get a 3-0 victory, which will put us well on our way to bein...

The inevitable happened in the end. Broich will be leaving the club at the end of the year. Unfortunately, the club can't afford to shell out £11.5k a week on a 36 year old And out of the blue this happens on deadline day. A regen attacking...

We've just had the Asian Champions League group stage draw. If you know the Asian teams, you'll know this is a very hard group. Urawa Reds, bottom seed team, is arguably the best team in Japan, Jeonbuk Motors are one of the best teams in Korea a...

@r96Skinner He has been good so far, was worried as well because he is not a natural striker, hopefully his form continues I've made another pre contract signing. The dutchman, Dion Malone will come in next season, and he can play right and centr...

Our form has picked up since a minor blip, and we are back in contention for the league, or at least champions league football next year. We begin this series of matches, with a 1-1 draw with Wellington Pheonix. They were top of the league when we played...

And we're top again! Henry Novillo, again, proving his worth, grabbing two goals, and as the headline says, they put us top! It was a hard fought battle, but one we deserved to win, against a struggling Western City Wanderers. With and incredible...

My first pre contract signing of the window, and this probably spells the end for Joey Katebian, as it's another striker. When I was searching for a poacher backup, this guy was in the top three that were realistic, and he only wanted £1.4k p/w...

What a game! We beat favourites for the league 5-2. We go 2-0 up early, with goals from Arana and McKay (who scored on his 34th birthday), but Fornaroli scored, and there was a sense of deja-vu, as last time we played them, we went 2-0 up and Bruno Fornar...

Here is Maclaren's replacement. Harry Novillo comes in for a club record fee, £160k, from Turkish side Manisaspor. He played for Melbourne City before them, and scored 12 in 34 for them, so he should be an adequate replacement. Should he be fit...

I didn't expect this, but Broich shows his loyalty to the club, by rejecting a move back to Germany. Saves me a bit of money! But Jade North, another rotational right back/centre back, has left. He's 34 so it's not a major issue, but it&...

He's gone. We managed to get £1.2m which is good, but now we are missing both strikers for our next game. Our backup player, Daniel Bowles is also on his way out of the club, to China. He never really played, so I'm not too bothered.

So, we got a £1.2m offer for Maclaren from Tokyo FC. I haven't brought in a replacement as of yet, but thats only because we don't have much money. But as soon as he leaves, I'll be looking at replacements. Also, this is a mistake...

With the transfer window just around the corner, our star striker Jamie Maclaren has requested to leave. He has a £1.5m release clause, and there is interest from teams in Japan and China. Luckily, he has hit a wall in terms of goalscoring form, and...

Thats more like it! We best second placed Perth Glory 4-1. Becchio scored, but most pleasing of all, 18 year old striker, Nicholas D'Agostino scored, which gives me a decision to make in January; whether to sell Katebian and have D'Agostino as t...

This brought to my attention, that our form hasn't been great at the moment, but even so, the fans have no reason to complain, we are doing as well as we should be... ...Or so I thought. We slump to another loss, in a game we dominated. They got a...

Another injury, to a key player, who is also another defender. Luckily Bamba has come back now, so Bowles can play centre back, but it's still not ideal

Our second loss, and it comes against top of the league Melbourne Victory. It is also significant, as now we have dropped down to 4th, but it seems to happen all too often this year, we'll dominate everything but the scoreline. We also have a prob...
