Cheers mate glad you're still enjoying it!
What Does Kevin Do? - Part 2 (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep29)
"Leighton Baines!" I exclaim.
"Luis Figo" comes the deadpan reply.
"Steven Gerrard!" I say incredulously.
"Cristiano Ronaldo" comes the retort.
&...
On the Road Again (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep28)
I'm the first off the plane. We've arrived in Évora for our 3rd match of the season against Juventude Évora, a newly promoted club who we should really be making mincemeat of....
3-Horse Race (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep27)
I stand on a gravel path, wearing my trusty grey coat, a rucksack weighing heavily on my shoulders. Ahead of me lies a long, winding road that wraps itself around a distant mountain, the top of which is ob...
Cheers mate, hope you enjoy the new ones!
And I'm glad at least 1 person remembers that bleached blond arse too
PT Championship - First Phase Group G (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Mini-sode 26.5)
I know what you're thinking.
"I can't wait for you to box Vilafranquense's ears again Franjo!"
"I can't wait for the Caldas matches,...
Pre Season 2017/18 (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep26)
What a Summer. Aside from destroying the confidence of an imaginary ex-Everton flop I have actually also been swamped with real footballing matters.
I'll start by telling you that one of the fi...
Year 1 World Roundup (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Mini-sode 25.5.5.5)
I awake extremely early the next morning. Pushing myself to a sitting position, I can feel the numbness on my cheek where the pattern of the grass has been impressed after several hou...
Monte Brasil (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Mini-sode 25.5.5)
Do you know what I realised after our match against Caldas?
Here I am in the picturesque City of Hero Creek on beautiful Volcano Island and I've done nothing but scheme and worry and stre...
That comment made my day mate, thanks for that! Really glad you're enjoying it. To be honest I originally post this series with screenshots on my wordpress page https://wtfranjo.wordpress.com/ but as a general rule I post without screenshots on forum...
About Next Week (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Meta-sode 25.5)
Olá meus Amigos,
I apologise but next week (29/05/2017 - 02/06/2017) I will not be releasing daily episodes. Let me explain why...
5 weeks ago when I started to write about managing F...
Year 1 Review (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep25)
What a year. That's right, it's only been a year. Well, less than a year, I started my journey at the end of July and it's only May. It feels like it's been a lot longer.
Let's j...
A Score to Settle (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep24)
If there's 1 thing that I've been looking forward to since the first half of our relegation stage campaign, it wasn't the chance to avenge our narrow loss against Vilafranquense, nor is...
Roger's Story (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Mini-sode 23.5)
The final whistle goes, and pure elation washes over me. I can see it, hear it, and I can feel it. We've won. It's all been leading to this. All of the late nights, the tears, the...
Franjo Votes Pedro (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep23)
"Look Roger," I begin, my voice oozing with false sympathy, "I appreciate everything you've done since I arrived, I really do, but I've decided to replace you." Roger st...
Nothing Compares (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep22)
As much as I enjoy the drama of our matches against Torreense, I'm glad they're out of the way for the season. We've now got 6 matches left to show this league what os Heróis are...
Miniature Heróis (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep21)
These are exciting times for SC Angrense: A new batch of Miniature Heróis have made the step up from our academy to the under 19's squad, and I've started looking for a new assi...
Connect 4 (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Mini-sode 20.5)
"Marco Aurélio is our best player"
I frown. "What on Earth gives you that idea Roger?" I ask calmly, as I slot a red circular disc into the left hand column. Roger shifts...
Boa Sorte (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep20)
My heart is pounding. My breathing is rapid. I crouch behind a low section of demolished wall, pressing myself hard against the cold concrete. I turn around and sneak a peek over the top of the wall to see hi...
The One True Giant Slayer of Hero Creek (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Mini-sode 19.5)
SC Angrense have beaten FC Porto this season. Seriously. Porto. We beat them in the cup under my predecessor, Eduardo Almeida. Roger told me in the midst of a heated Co...
The Green Island (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep 19)
The Heroes' confidence has been high this week. With that 3-0 win over Naval fresh in the memory there’s been a real swagger about them in training. I contemplate how refreshing it is to wo...
Project: Meatloaf in Action (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep18)
Have I got everything I need? Probably not. I hate flying. Not because of any kind of irrational fear; I've seen all the statistics, like that you're more likely to fall off a flam...
Project: Meatloaf - Part 2 (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Mini-sode 17.5.5)
I think for a while. We could set up Project: Meatloaf to attack the opposition. We could go all out aggressor, but I'm not convinced we have the squad for it.
If we break i...
Project: Meatloaf - Part 1 (Franjo: A Journeyman Story Mini-sode 17.5)
"What do you think?" I ask. My face scrunches up slightly as I try to come up with an answer to the question that's been plaguing me all weekend. "I mean, I know t...
The Tagus Piranhas (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep17)
"We've won 2 in 2! We've started brilliantly!" I bark stubbornly.
"You fail soon" replies Nuno lazily, without looking at me. "Aurélio never misses penalty,...
What Does Kevin Do? (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep16)
Midweek games: A chance to build momentum? Or a surefire way to obliterate your team's fitness? I think largely it depends on your perspective, which is going to be determined by whether you wi...
The Magina Vonologues (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep15)
“I just want to see your natural games today” I announce assertively in front of the dressing room full of players. Roger is translating for me as I speak. “Conditions are awful...
Nuno (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Mini-sode 14.5)
Here's a fun thought: I'd better not fuck this job up. If I manage to take Angrense down I may find that even the tiny English clubs don't want me. I may have to turn to...the Scottish Pre...
The Mid-Season Break (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep14)
I haggle with Alex for a while over the prices of several of my former players. I have around £8k to spend on transfers which is a nice little luxury. I'm instantly put off by his valuat...
A New Day in Hero Creek (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep13)
I feel like I'm being microwaved. I've moved from snowy Southern Sweden to Volcano Island, which is a molten stone's throw away from the equator. The temperature difference is sta...
Our New League 101 (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Mini-sode 12.5)
Listen, I thought I'd just take a breather from this epic and relentlessly thrilling story to explain that the Portugese Championship is a confusing, confusing league for someone like...
Franjo: PE Teacher (Franjo: A Journeyman Story Ep12)
23/10/2016
1 Day since FC Höllviken Termination
I'm OK I think. I feel like I've been through a mature and amicable break up. Yes I'm disappointed and yes I wish I could have done...
SuperFran (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep11)
I've been thinking a lot about Superheroes lately. So often in the comic books they sacrifice their happiness and their lives for the greater good. They are the unthanked heroes of their cities. But ofte...
The Offer (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Mini-sode 10.5)
With another 2 weeks to go before our final league match, a trip to Husqvarna FF, I decide to arrange a friendly trip to league leaders Landskrona BoIS. The away game practice will do us good and as...
Out of Our Hands (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep10)
Nothing seems real today. Everything is blurred and distorted. Everything seems so fragile, like it could give way at any second and collapse, taking my team and prospects with it. Our fates are not ou...
Mo Dizzle & The Newbie Crew (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep9)
The last 2 weeks have been completely different around the FC Höllviken camp. Our win over FC Trollhättan was perfectly timed, just before a break. We've had 2 weeks to reg...
Swede Dreams (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep8)
I don't want to get out of bed today. Don't make me get out of bed. If I get out of bed I'll have taken another step towards getting relegated in my first ever managerial role. No, I'll...
A New Low (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep7)
"We need to be careful, Östers are absolutely flying" Joakim warns me. "They've won 8 of their last 11 and drawn the other 3, this might be our toughest match of the season. The bookie...
The Hammerhead Formation (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep6)
Stuart Pearce made the call with David James, Jurgen Klopp did it with Shamal George, and now I, Franjo, will put a goalkeeper up front. Because honestly why not? I've never even met our on...
Don't Overthink It (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep5)
I'm surprised at how nice my little office is at Höllviken's training ground. I think this is where the squad's budget probably went. It's most likely the reason I inher...
Ms Alexandersson (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Mini-sode 4.5)
The Celebrations in Stockholm are short and sweet. We've got a league match against 10th placed Utsiktens BK in 3 days so taking our time basking in our big win is a luxury we just can�...
Franjo: Enemy of Football (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep4)
So here's the thing. You come to a small club in danger of dropping down to the 4th tier of their national league system, you unfortunately lose your first game in charge and morale is lo...
I'm Ready (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep3)
Journalists can smell fear. They feed on it. Fear and misery. My first press conference as a football manager and I'm dissected and probed for every bit of boring detail they can squeeze out. I�...
Signing 15 Awful Players (Franjo: A Journeyman Story - Ep2)
I don my trusty grey coat, grab the essentials and throw them into a rucksack. I'm going to Sweden. Specifically the Locality of Vellinge, the seat of the Vellinge Kommun municipality, and...
