cerud Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 15 June 2018 Cerud Ends Longterm Run with Canada As he said that he always would, Cerud held a press conference, stepping down as manager of the Canadian Nation Soccer Team. It has been well reported that Cerud would end his tenure after the World Cup and he held true to his word. Under his regime, Canada added a Gold Cup and had berths in the Olympic Games and World Cup, two competitions that had not had Canadian soccer participation for several years. "It was an honour so serve as the national manager for my nation. I can look back and honestly state that the picture of football in Canada is better now that when I entered. I am happy with how things went, but now is the time for someone else to take over. These past years at the helm have been truly memorable." Canada National Soccer Team - Canadian Soccer Association Only the final of the World Cup is left and so I am ready to step down. It's been a good ride. Managerial National Record Plans No national management plans right now. I'm a Tottenham manager. That's the job. Unless something interesting comes my way!

cerud Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Had a great run with Canada. Thanks, deltablue. Great to see Arsenal finished above you last season Shame to see you resigned from Canada Good luck with Spurs next season. Arsenal finished ahead of us was already a given when I took over the club. Taking them from 16th to 4th was good enough for me in coming in midway through a season. How that I have a full season...the Gunner will go down I was always expecting to resign following the World Cup, if we had got in. Three and a half years was good, but time to move on.

cerud Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 2018-2019 End of Pre-Season Tottenham Hotspur - Barclays Premier League The Matches England - Barclays Premier League - Burnley - won 7-0 England - npower Football League Championship - Sheffield Wednesday - won 2-0 England - Barclays Premier League - Middlesbrough - won 4-0 England - npower Football League Championship - Leeds United - won 4-0 Canada - NASL - FC Edmonton - won 7-0 The Players Squad | Transfers - It was mainly youth players that we released. We also did an exchange of goalkeeping. All previous goalkeepers were transferred out or retired and we brought in two new ones. Christian N'Guessan - GK - N'Guessan has spent his career with Vålerenga in Norway's Tippeligaen. I spent the cash for him, but he will be our starting goalkeeper for the season. Needless to say, his former club's supporters were not happy. Ronald Choquehuanca - GK - Brought in from Bolivar in Bolivia, Choquehuanca has extremely high potential. He will be our backup, but I hope to offer him a nice share of matches in order to give him first team experience. He'll actually start the season as N'Guessan has gotten himself injured fro a few weeks. Pre-Season Thoughts With the money spent of goalkeeping, we have managed to keep the rest of the squad stable. I may look for a player in January, but we have a good squad and there's no need to mess with it. The goal is to go all the way domestically and as far as possible in the Champions League.

We went into a penalty shoot out and needed a save on the 5th shot, to which Choquehuanca answered. We won on the 6th shot to seal back-to-back wins of this trophy.

It was especially nice given that we're using our 18 year old backup goalkeeper, Choquenhuanca as N'Guessan recovers from a sports hernia. A simple start and one that we can build from. McDonalds FA Community Shield A back-to-back win in this competition. Good way to start the season. The Standings It's still early, but a tie for 1st place is where I want to be. Also nice to see Arsenal below us! Transfers I brought in one more playeer before the transfer deadline. Víctor Almirón - DM, M RC, AM R - We have a couple great right wingers, including Nani, but they are getting up there in years. Almirón, coming to us from Metalist, is the future.

The first match at home as simple enough, so I fielded a younger side in the away match. It was a bit more difficult, but Butterworth, our up and coming striker, saved us for the tie.

cerud Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 September 2018 Update Tottenham Hotspur - Barclays Premier League Barclays Premier League We started the month against Man City who absolutely dominated the level of play. We were lucky to get out of this match with a tie. It was very nice to see Almirón get a goal in his debut, a beautiful 20 yard shot in the match against West Brom. All in all, a good month, which has kept us in the title race. Carling Cup We played host to League One club, Colchester in our first match to defend the Carling Cup. They drew first blood; however, we instantly replied and then never let up. I had fielded a younger squad for this match, so it was nice to see the dominant win. The Standings We have taken over the top spot in the table; however, four clubs are currently undefeated. I have a feeling that this season will see a tight table with movement between a few clubs throughout for 1st place. I don't care if we drop during the season, so long as it's our by the end.

cerud Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 October 2018 Update Tottenham Hotspur - Barclays Premier League Barclays Premier League A easy enough month; however, the tie against Middlesbrough was disappointing. We outplayed them the entire match, but just could break them down. Carling Cup Birmingham hit first, but we hit back second...and third...and fourth...and so on. This match also involved us missing 2 penalty shots. Could have been 8 goals. The Standings Identical to Man City. However, they are scoring far more goals than anyone else. I think we were very lucky to tie them last month when we played. They are shaping up to be our main domestic competition. Interesting that there are still four clubs that are undefeated as well.

We went up 2-0 very quickly, but The Red Devils slowly dismantled us. By the end, it was a bit humiliating. However, we took out our aggression against Bolton, in a one-sided slaughter...Doumbia vs. the Bolton XI! The Standings We are on top of the table, but there are still a few clubs pushing right behind us. The biggest worry still have to be Man City. They are only 2 points behind us in 3rd place, but their goal difference is impressive. In the event of a point tie, they still have the upper hand.

cerud Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 December 2018 Update Tottenham Hotspur - Barclays Premier League Barclays Premier League The loss to Arsenal was a heartbreaker and, needless to say, didn't make us to popular amongst our fans. However, Doumbia continues to blow the league away. His record is unbelievable and I just wish that he was a little younger so that he could continue to play like this for some time to come. However, he is now 31 years old so may only have a few seasons left. Still, if he continues to play like this, I'll keep him! Carling Cup We were up against Man City in the Quarter Final draw, a match that I thought would give us some trouble. However, Man City has been having trouble of their own. They had dropped down the table in league play so I'm not sure if it was confidence of what, but we took advantage of them and came out with a solid victory and advancement to the Semi Final on the way to defending our trophy. The Standings So maybe Man City is not the threat that I thought they were. However, it's important to note that they have also played 2 less matches than us and could easily move back up the table with wins in either. Arsenal has emerged as competitors though. Their win against us at the beginning of the month has moved them into a position for a point tie for the title. It turning out to be a north London fight! As for Doumbia, in 26 matches so far, he has 50 goals this year! Change of Board Expectations Our performance has dictated a change in our expectations.

Hypanimz Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Great first half to the season. If Doumbia keeps up that scoring record you must be in contention to win everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, guys. The season has gone well so far. I've brought in a couple new players in the transfer window as well that I believe will enable us to grow and get a bit younger to.

cerud Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 15 January 2019 Inter Move for Cerud With Inter Milan vacant a manager, the Board has immediately moved with a poaching offer for Tottenham boss, Cerud. Cerud, enjoying his first full season with the Spurs, has declined the move, stating his intention to remain with the London club. "A move to Inter would be a great one for any manager; however, my home is in London. Managing Tottenham has been a dream of mine and I am nowhere close to having achieved what I want to. I hope that the Hotspurs will have me for years to come." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerud Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 January 2019 Update Tottenham Hotspur - Barclays Premier League Barclays Premier League Doumbia continues to lead the squad; however, he has gone back to Africa for the African Cup going on right now. He's also taken my starting goalkeeper and another player. Still, we are managing and it's given some time for me to rotate in a couple of the younger players. Butterworth has stepped up with a few matches and done well. So have our new signings, with Mavreas/B] scoring on his debut and going on to become a just as important as Doumbia. The Wigan match was a bit of a let down. I didn't think we would tie, but in the end, a tiem was generous for us. Wigan was the better team. FA Cup and Carling Cup He had our first match in the FA Cup in our progression of defending that trophy. A simple match against Leicester was enough to move on. The semi final against Liverpool for the Carling Cup was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Liverpool just hasn't been a threat to us this year in any competition. The Standings We are more than halfway through the season and looking in good position. Both Arsenal ad us have moved ahead of the rest of the group by a bit; however, I still remember that the Gunners handles us easily in our first match this season. We need to be ready for the rematch. Interesting to see Stoke near the bottom...perhaps this is not their year? Transfers A couple of youth squad members were brought in, but our two main signings were these two. Orlando Cornelissen - M/AM C - He made an instant impact becoming the Youth Player of the Month. Markos Mavreas - ST - An instant impact, scoring 10 goals this month in all competitions. He is young and will likely be Doumbia's replacement when he retires. Awards Young Player of the Month - Orlando Cornelissen - 1st Place, Stewart Butterworth - 2nd Place Manager of the Month - Cerud - 2nd Place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cerud Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 February 2019 Update Tottenham Hotspur - Barclays Premier League Barclays Premier League We were lucky that we had cover in a few key positions. I had N'Guessan, our starting goalkeeper, and Doumbia, our powerhouse striker, as well as a backup fullback away to the Ivory Coast for the African Cup of Nations. But it gave a few other players time on the first squad, especially youngsters. Butterworth is becoming better with each match. I'm hoping that he continues to grow as he has been. FA Cup Alas, not our year. Having much needed players away in Africa definitely hurt us. However, Butterworth stepped up and at least made it interesting, netting a hattrick. But this is one cup that we will no longer be defending. The Standings The tie against Southampton was enough for Arsenal to pull ahead of us in the table. We're getting close to the final day so, we need to ensure solid play here on out. I think we still have a match against Arsenal so that is set to become the most important match of the season. They beat us earlier in the year; we must do better! Awards Manager of the Month - Cerud - 2nd Place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattias333 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 CONCACAF World Cup Qualifiers FIFA World Cup 2018 Qualifiers - 2nd Phase The World Cup Qualifiers begin for Canada! We have a fairly easy group, but Canada has always had problems in qualifying. It's my job to change all that. 4 September 2015 2nd Phase El Salvador 0 - 7 Canada This was my second match with Team Canada, the first being a friendly warm up. This match broke the record for Canada's biggest win as well as for the most goals in a match by a player for Simeon Jackson (he had 4). El Salvador's single shot didn't come until the end of the match. 8 September 2015 2nd Phase Canada 3 - 1 St. Vincent & The Grenadines Another match in which be dominated. We were controlling the match easily, but were not able to take the win until the 76th minute. GET IN THERE JACKSON! Great to see one of my Real Life clubs players doing well. As you can image Norwich dont really get mentioned much on all these different career threads. He cant hit a barn door in real life. Works real hard though. Just appears in real life to be the kind of player who needs 3 or 4 touches to get it under control. Always has a stupidly quiet first half a season in his time at Norwich but pops up in closing stages with vital goals. (although half the time its off his rear end or knee lol.) Being bored at work recently ive read through SRL88 & TomTucks journey men saves to pass time and now ive picked yours to read through and really am enjoying it. Keep up the good work. Im only on page 5 at the minute so a little bit to read to get fully up to date! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
