  1. Cheers, yeah we will see whether the fourth go at this is the time where I might be able to complete it.
  2. ASC REMIRE (FRENCH GUIANA) SEASON 2083/84 We left US Mataury, and about a month or two later, we had another job offer and it was again in French Guiana for ASC Remire. They are not a big side in French Guiana, but this season they were seen as pretty high when it came to pre-season predictions, so I was quite happy to take the job. The main task was to win the league and that would mean we would have completed the leg. LIGUE DE GUYANE Very easy league win in the end. We were lucky with injuries with a very short squad in the end. We were pretty perfect most of the season with the resources we had and we get the 100 points we needed. COUPE DE GUYANE It wasn't important to us, but we did actually go out pretty early on to one of our previous sides Etoile. SQUAD We had a very small squad and we struggled to recruit this season, fortunately we had plenty of quantity in the team to be able to produce the results we needed. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS We are done in this region, and it was all done in French Guiana, which was a little strange. We obviously left a legacy in the country winning all those titles. We now move to NA5 which contains Panama, Martinique, Puerto Rico and Guyana. MAP Map Link SUMMARY
  3. US MATOURY (FRENCH GUIANA) SEASON 2082/83 LIGUE DE GUYENE We found the league very easy going this year, winning early on and we are leaving before it even ends after the Cup Final. 50 points added to us. COUPE DE GUYENE We fell short in the final of the cup to our old team Etoile losing 3-2. The cup actually was not a neccesity as the league title puts us only 100 points away from completing the leg. It would have been nice to win it, but in the end probably won't matter too much in the grand scheme of things. SQUAD We reinforced where we could but actually we went backwards in the pre-season predictions, expected to finish 4th, but we certainly produced better displays than that prediction. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS We are now only 100 points away from completing the leg and that means we need one more league title and that will be that. We will leave this job and see where we land next. MAP Map Link SUMMARY
  4. US MATOURY (FRENCH GUIANA) SEASON 2081/82 We left Etoile Matoury after a very succesful spell and actually found ourselves with a very interesting job offer within a few weeks of leaving, to manage a team in the same city as Etoile in the form of US Matoury. They were roughly the second best team in the country so we would be starting with a team that had in theory all the elements to challenge our former club Etoile. LIGUE DE GUYANE It ended up being a walk in the park for us to grab our maiden title with US Matoury as we won the league by close to 20 points. That's another 100 points for us. COUPE DE GUYANE We needed penalties against our former club in the final to come through but the luck went our way and we lift the Coupe de Guyane, for another 40 points. SQUAD We got the job pretty close to the start of the new season, and we had problems getting scouts early on that limited what we could do with the squad in terms of additions. I think we are close to on par with Etoile as the best team in the country, but if we can improve again this year I will do it. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS We are gathering speed in this region and are now well over halfway. Another season at US Matoury that brings the same kind of success will leave us one league title away from the end of this leg. So we will be remaining here next season. MAP Map Link SUMMARY
  5. AS ETOILE MATOURY (FRENCH GUIANA) SEASON 2080/81 LIGUE DE GUYANE We won the league very easily, winning by 24 points. We take 50 points. COUPE DE GUYANE We found the cup pretty easy, winning the semi final 5-0 and final 4-0. 20 points for us. SQUAD We got some improvements to the squad and we have done brilliantly this season. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS We leave Etoile Matoury having won a couple of league titles and a couple of cups, and it has got us plenty of points at the start of NA6. We shall see where we will resurface next. MAP Link to Map SUMMARY
  6. AS ETOILE MATOURY (FRENCH GUIANA) SEASON 2079/80 LIGUE DE GUYANE A very comfortable league title for us this season. We only really opened up a big lead towards the end of the season, but 10 points makes it very comfortable. 100 points for us. COUPE DE GUYANE We found the cup very straightforward right the way through the tournament. 40 points for us. SQUAD There are limits of foreigners so we were a bit limited in who we could get in to improve the team, but we did enough to make the domestic competitions very comfortable for us this season. We will see if we can improve the side further next season. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS We got the job done this season. It is still a mystery to me whether we will qualify for any continental competitions next season. I guess we will find out. If not then we will probably move on at the end of next season. MAP Map Link SUMMARY
  7. AS ETOILE MATOURY (FRENCH GUIANA) SEASON 2078/79 We were out of work for a fair while until we could get back into things. Eventually we were able to get a job in French Guiana, at AS Etoile Matoury. They are mid table to upper mid table side in French Guiana and had sacked their manager despite being a pretty acceptable 7th in the table. We took over with just about a third of the season to go. LIGUE DE GUYANA We improved quite a lot after w took over and had we not dropped the points we did, we would have been champions but alas we will have to accept 3rd place which won't give us any points this season. SQUAD We haven't been able to make much change to the team. The team does need improvement next team if we are to push for the title I think. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS We have a new club in a new region. I think as long as we get things right we can push for the league and the cup next season. Incidentally I haven't shown the cup as we were already out of that when we arrived. MAP Link to Map SUMMARY
  8. GRENADES FC (ANTIGUA & BARBUDA) SEASON 2076/77 We were only out of work for 1 month or so, before we had a plethora of options to choose from mostly in Antigua and Barbuda, where it seemed a domino of sackings and managers leaving left us with a pick of clubs. The best club we had on offer was Grenades, who had finished 2nd last season and were one of the best teams in the land. DIGICEL/RED STRIPE PREMIER DIVISION We were absolutely perfect this season, no one could touch as we won every single game in the league season finishing with 90 points and a +141 goal difference, probably the most dominant we have been so far at any team. The league win gives us 100 points for our total. ABFA FA CUP The league form was translated into the ABFA FA Cup as we faced no issues, including the final where we played our own B side in the final. 50 points and this meant the leg was over. SQUAD We were able to improve the team markedly from when we arrived. Two guys stand out a lot, Tanzanian international John Ali was absolutely lethal this season with 54 goals in 34 games and Bolade Aiki got 41 assists as he built up a remarkable partnership with Ali. A great side that achieved amazing things for us. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS We got to 500 points and exceed and so that means we are done here in NA7 and will be moving to NA6 which will consist of Cuba, Suriname, French Guiana and Guadaloupe, which I think we might have some kind of continental football. I will need to keep a look out to see what continental competitions we might be able to get into and so it might change our decision making. MAP Map Link SUMMARY
  9. GARDEN HOTSPURS (SAINT KITTS & NEVIS) SEASON 2075/76 SKNFA DIGICEL PREMIER LEAGUE We won the league but by our very high standards we were horrid this season, absolutely terrible. The main issue was that the backup in defence were absolutely trash. Probably my fault for not addressing it better but it was comedy at times. Still 50 points on the board for us. SKNFA CUP Not what we wanted, if you get to the final and your the favourite you want to win it. This goes back to how horrible defensively we were, we scored 4 goals and still lost. That pretty pathetic. PRESIDENT'S CUP We didn't even make the final in the President's Cup as Superstars knocked us out, again we conceded way too many goals in that game, SQUAD I am very disappointed overall. I though we had things under control but the likes of Sawyers saw too much game time and he only played 218 minutes. Good performances at the back were few and far between and it was not good enough this season. In the attacking areas. The main story is the backups just weren't of the required standard and we perhaps didn't manage the team too well this season. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS Only 50 points this season, when I was expecting 90, and to be honest we are very fortunate to come away with the 50 as we easily could have been overtaken towards the end of the season and its just that others team around us also took misteps along the way especially towards the conclusion of the season. We are leaving the club as there is just no point remaining. If we land at the right club with a league and cup double we would be done, so we leave on a bit of a downer with Garden Hotspurs. MAP Map Link SUMMARY
  10. GARDEN HOTSPURS (SAINT KITTS & NEVIS) SEASON 2074/75 We were not away for very long from the touchline, as we had quite a few clubs after our services when we left Hope International. The best prospect was Garden Hotspurs from Saint KItts and Nevis, which were one of the better sides in the country. The other nice feature of Saint Kitts was the fact that it has three competitions, so plenty of points on offer. SKNFA DIGICELL PREMIER LEAGUE We absolutely destroyed the league this season, no quarter taken as we won it by 20 points. We get 100 points for the win. SKNFA CUP We won the FA Cup pretty easily. 40 points won. PRESIDENT'S CUP The President's Cup was a little bit of a tougher test but we came through well for another 40 points. SQUAD We bought a few places but the main core of the team was already here and we performed very well this season. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS A very good season as we pick up 180 points from the various competitions. We will remain at least another season to see what happens and how close we then are then to passing to the next leg. MAP Link to Map SUMMARY
  11. What's up with the flags for the countries, I think that looks like the flag for Yemen, Malaysia, Taiwan, and old flag of Egypt and not even sure what the final flag is?
  12. HOPE INTERNATIONAL (ST VINCENT & THE GRENADINES) SEASON 2073/74 NLA PREMIER LEAGUE An utter domination and we are champions with three games left to play. 50 points to the board. SQUAD This squad is overpowered for this division, we still haven't lost at the club and I would expect if we stayed on we probably wouldn't lose for a very long time. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS Job done in St Vincent and the Grenadines, but we have left a very overpowered Hope International, which means it's probably not advisable to return unless this team breaks up. We have 150 points in the bag and have made some decent progress. We are leaving the club and seeing where we will land next. MAP Map Link SUMMARY
  13. HOPE INTERNATIONAL (ST VINCENT & THE GRENADINES) SEASON 2072/73 NFA PREMIER LEAGUE Much as I expected from last season we absolutely smashed our way to a league title win, winning the league by 20 points from System 3. 100 points in the bag SQUAD We improved the team heavily again mostly with agent offer Brazilians and anyone we could get our hands on. This team almost went perfect this season and remained undefeated all season. We most certainly have the best team in the nation. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS There is only one competition in St Vincent which is the league, so normally we would leave, but I have decided to stay one final season at Hope International, which will hopefully give us a second league title and then we will move on. MAP Link to Map SUMMARY
  14. HOPE INTERNATIONAL (ST VINCENT & THE GRENADINES) SEASON 2071/72 We arrived in the region and we were waiting about half a season, perhaps a little more to get a club. The club we found was a strange one. Hope International are the most successful club in St Vincent history and won the league last season, but when we arrived we had less than half the season to go and they were in a relegation place. There was no chance for points or silverware, but if we could save them we would have a good base to go from. NLA PREMIER LEAGUE We came in and turned things round completely. We finish in 5th place after taking the club in 9th place. Not sure what happened before I got here but they were massively underperforming. SQUAD We pick up what looks to me like a good squad. The lack of goals we had when we came in has been largely rectified in recent performances. We did manage to make one signing already as he was unattached and that is Luciano the Brazilian left winger who should improve us in that position. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS When we first arrive in a region it's always tumultuous until we find our feet and often we don't have a chance at points, this no different. Based on recent performances though I expect to win the league next season. MAP Updated Map with Logos I was having issues with the map it should be rectified. SUMMARY
  15. QUEEN'S PARK RANGERS (GRENADA) SEASON 2070/71 GFA PREMIER DIVISION The standard that both ourselves and Paradise reached this season was quite something. We each lost on game respectively and in the it was just that we drew one game and they drew two. It was a very hard fought season and we needed to be at the peak of our powers to be able to come away with the title. The title that would give us 25 points and passage to NA7 WAGGY-T KNOCKOUT FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT Where the league was brilliant from us the cup was an aberation as we fell at the first hurdle to lower league opposition. Very disappointing as this happened early in the season and it put all the pressure on the league. Thankfully we did not need both but at the time it was bitterly disappointing to exit the cup in this fashion. SQUAD There wasn't a lot more we could do to the team. The main addition was Fernando Antonio, that might have even happened at the end of last season and Shevon Bedeau who was released by Paradise and we managed to pick up and instantly became our best AMC. This team achieved a lot against really what was a juggernaut in Grenadian football in Paradise. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS It was a tough road in NA7 and Grenada probably provided us the biggest challenge so far as Paradise were no joke in this league as they amassed crazy points and often got the better of us when we faced each other. We now leave behind NA8 and move on to NA7 which consists of Antigua and Barbuda, St Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent & The Grenadines and St Lucia. MAP Link to Map SUMMARY
  16. QUEEN'S PARK RANGERS (GRENADA) SEASON 2069/70 GFA PREMIER DIVISION We just got over the line in the league. We ended the season badly, the loss to Paradise brought them level on points and the draw should have lost us the title but they also drew on the final day. So we were lucky but we got another 50 points for our second consecutive title. WALLY-T KNOCKOUT FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT The double was needed to complete this leg this season, but Paradise got the better of us in the semi final and we were done in the cup for this season. No points. SQUAD We tried to continue improving the squad but it was difficult. We already had five foreign players which is the limit, and we are not transitioning away from certain players where we are finding better players so at the moment we still have a mish mash of players, some of which will be gone next year or at least not playing. Paradise have the best Grenadians and its difficult to compete but we have done pretty well so far with this team. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS We could have been done this season with the leg, but not winning the cup means we have at least one more season to wait. We will need either of the league or the cup next season so I hopeful that we can win one of those and finally complete the leg once and for all. MAP Link to Map SUMMARY
  17. QUEEN'S PARK RANGERS (GRENADA) SEASON 2068/69 We weren't out of work for long before we found our next management position in Grenada. We were to take over Queen's Park Rangers one of the best sides in the country but some way behind the best side in the country Paradise. We would do what we could to bridge the gap to them. GFA PREMIER DIVISION We were comfortable winners of the league, the loss on the final day against Paradise made it look a little closer, but we were well clear all season of them. The gap below the top two is a chasm so it really will probably be a two horse race next season. Anyway 100 points gained. WAGGY T-KNOCKOUT FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT We managed to win the Grenadian equivalent of the FA Cup, as we took Sunsetters down in the final quite easily. 40 points gained. SQUAD The squad was good before we arrived but we did need to bring a few new faces to give us a chance. We are still behind Paradise in terms of quality and we may never truly bridge the gap but we were good enough this season. We will continue to monitor the transfer market for ways to improve. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS A good first season at Queen's Park Rangers, that puts us exactly a double away from progressing from this leg. With that in mind we will be remaining with QPR next season. MAP Link to Map SUMMARY
  18. SV RIVER PLATE ARUBA (ARUBA) SEASON 2067/68 CAMPEONATO AVB ARUBA BANK We didn't have much trouble winning the league, winning the first league by 12 points and then the Champions Playoff by 4 points. Another 50 points in the bag. TORNEO COPA BETICO CROES We won the cup without much issue. We didn't really have to play any of the big boys so it made things easier. We get 40 points for the win. SQUAD We improved the team where we could but when we started the season we were only expected to finish 5th place. I think that improved to 3rd place by the end of the season, but we are not the best team in the country so we have overperformed to pull off what we did. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS We have done well at River Plate Aruba and got points pretty quickly, but we are now done here as the points are going to start to get pretty sparse and thin. Hopefully it won't be years until we get our next job. MAP Map Link SUMMARY
  19. SV RIVER PLATE ARUBA (ARUBA) SEASON 2066/67 We were out of work for almost 2 years, we had interviews but were rejected a couple of times for the job, this could be the fact that we have resigned a lot from clubs coming to play against us. However it was the second rejection that actually landed us here. River Plate are one of the weaker sides in the country, but their manager had managed to navigate them to 5th place in the league. Another club Nacional, a bigger club were sitting bottom, this was the club we applied for and were rejected in favour of the River Plate manager. This then opened up the River Plate position, and we decided to take that. This was a rare opportunity, we were part way through a season and still with an outside chance of taking home the league title due to managerial movements. CAMPEONATO AVB ARUBA BANK We managed to conquer the title in the end. Aruba has a very similar system to Curacao where the league ends and then we have a Champions Playoff, and this time it worked in our favour, as while we managed to improve form we would finish in 3rd place, but for the Champions Playoff we were unstoppable as we dismantled Dakota twice and that was the difference maker when it came to the title picture. We claim a league title after just a few months of being at River Plate Aruba. Interestingly the former manager, was not able to save Nacional Aruba and they were relegated, which wasn't the best career move. 100 Points gained. SQUAD The squad is pretty much as it was when we came apart from Andrezinho, who was a free transfer and could join the club out of the transfer window. We can definitely improve in a lot of areas. The striker department especially is a really weakness for us. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS We were out of work for 2 years so we lost time there, but we picked up a title after just a few months, so we really only lose one season searching for a club. We are now on 200 points and well on our way. We will be staying at River Plate as there is a cup competition in Aruba, so there are a few extra points on offer that were not there for Curacao. MAP Map Link SUMMARY
  20. SV VESTA (CURACAO) SEASON 2065/66 After leaving Nicaragua, we were out of work for about 4 months until we managed to find a job in Curacao at SV Vesta. They were newly promoted, but were predicted to finish 5th. They had half a squad and no staff and with only a month until the season kicked off, and the transfer deadline likely before that I knew it would be cutting it fine to get major improvements into the team. Against my better judgement and keen to get back into it I decided to accept the job offer. MCB FIRST DIVISION The Curacao league is divided into two stages, the league where the top six qualify for the second stage which is the Champions Playoff, where you then get five games; one against each of the other qualifiers and the top side is crowned champions. We had major problems with the squad for a good section of the league season, but it didn't really affect us much as managed to push to top spot in the first stage. In the Champions Playoff we lost our first game against Barber 3-0, which meant if we were to have any chance we would need to be perfect for the remainder of the stage, and we managed to do that. Going into the final game we were still left in a really tough situation, we would need to go away to Jong Holland, and needed to overturn and 7 goal difference between the sides. Since we were playing them on the final day, it meant we needed to win by 4 clear goals. I thought we had pretty much no chance, but we absolutely blitzed them inside 20 minutes and then held on to take the title. In the end it will probably be one of the most memorable titles we win on our journey, and probably one of the luckiest in truth, the likelihood of being able to overturn that goal difference seemed very unlikely and somehow we managed to do it on the final day. All that means we start with 100 points. SQUAD When we arrived we had 13 players at the club, and could barely field a team. The window closed before we could bring anyone in, but would fortunately open again in December early in the season. We were actually pretty good up until then, which surprised me and eventually we were able to get in some decent reinforcements. This team is still only classed as the 5th best in the league so we went some to pull of the title win. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS That went right down to the wire and somehow against all the odds we managed to pull through and get the title and 100 points on the board. That experience has actually influenced my decision to leave the club after the league win as the problem is we would have to do it all again, and at the end of the day the maximum amount of points available to us would be only 50 points and that just doesn't seem worth it. We will move on, and to be honest I might consider staying clear of Curacao as I don't like the format much. MAP Map Link SUMMARY
  21. CD WALTER FERRETI (NICARAGUA) SEASON 2064/65 PRIMERA DIVISION DE NICARAGUA The Nicaraguan league is split into the Apertura and Clausura, but I don't think it really makes any difference apart from the top two in the final league table play each other in the final at the end of the season. We managed to win both the Apertura and Clausura without too much difficulty, occassionally we would have a drop in form but it would soon pick up again. In the Playoff final we played Chinandega in a two legged home and away affair and we managed to win both games 3-1 to win the Nicaraguan title and 100 points, which completes the leg. SQUAD We reinforced the team where we could but on paper we were still worse than pre-season favourites Real Esteli. Manuelzinho who we brought in was amazing this season with 31 goals and 24 assists. He might well be the best player we have had so far in this career. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS NA9 is done and dusted and without too much issue. We had a long run in Bermuda before completing the leg in Nicaragua. We will be leaving all that behind and will be moving to NA8, which consists of Curacao, Grenada, Barbados and Aruba. So we are going back to the island. In fact I think Walter Ferreti was the first club we have managed that wasn't on an island. MAP Link to Map SUMMARY
  22. CD WALTER FERRETI (NICARAGUA) SEASON 2063/64 Having just finished the 63/64 season in Bermuda, we were in a job in under 2 weeks in Nicaragua at Walter Ferreti and back in the 63/64 season. They were one of the bigger sides in Nicaragua having won the league title 9 times in the past, but had been on a downward curve and were now sitting just outside the relegation places in the clausura stage. It was a risk, but I backed myself to get them safe and hopefully push the next season. If it went horribly wrong it might cost me a lot of points however. LIGA PRIMERA We reacted well to my entry into the club and went unbeaten for the remainder of the season. I believe in Nicaragua there is a final playoff for the title, so that will be between Real Esteli and Chinandega who won the Apertura but they also finish 1st and 2nd, so I don't know if its the Apertura and Clausura winners or 1st and 2nd in the main table. Anyway we finished 4th in the Clausura which gave us 6th overall and I am happy with that. We took over after the Ocotal loss. We actually looked very good against Real Esteli when we played them so I am hopeful going forward. SQUAD We haven't touched the squad, but it might be tough to improve much as we are really up against a small wage budget and have very little room to move on it. We will see what we can do. I suspect we might be able to challenge even with the current squad especially how we performed after I took over. We are bit thin up front and in several other places so wouldn't mind a few reinforcements. MANAGER PROFILE MAP Map Link SUMMARY
  23. YMSC BLUEBIRDS (BERMUDA) SEASON 2063/64 CINGULAR WIRELESS PREMIER LEAGUE We managed to win the league again this year, but PHC Zebras were right there until the end of the season. Our 3-1 win over them pretty much was where it went wrong for PHC Zebras, as they were two points behind us before that. Bermuda has started to turn into an arms race, the PHC team is full of Brazilians just like ours which is interesting it made me wonder whether the AI eventually starts to see what we are doing and joins in to be competitive. Anyway 50 points for us. BERMUDIAN FA CUP It got a little bit silly towards the latter stages of this tournament as we won the semi final 13-0 and the final 8-1 as we simply outclassed the opposition. Another 20 points on the board. SQUAD The squad is Brazil in Bermuda now, we have continued to improve the team to the point where domestic talent has no chance of playing in the team. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS We are not less the 100 points away from the total requirement for the leg, so we are leaving YMSC Bluebirds right after the final and looking for a new job after another double win. I would rather not come back to Bermuda, because the arms race is really beginning to heat up, and if we have to go to another club, there are no guarantees we can topple Bluebirds or PHC Zebras, but never say never. MAP Map Link SUMMARY
  24. YMSC BLUEBIRDS (BERMUDA) SEASON 2062/63 We were out of work only a couple of months before we landed a job on the other side of the island of Bermuda, in the capital city of Hamilton to manage YMSC Bluebirds. They had been promoted during our time at Paget Lions but had survived the drop. They were predicted to finish low down the table but we backed ourselves especially with a very long pre-season to be able to completely transform the clubs fortunes. CINGULAR WIRELESS PREMIER DIVISION It may look like it was a pretty easy league title win, but this time it was not the case as with just four games to go PHC Zebras jumped above us in the table. They obviously bottled it completely but we could have lost out here. It was actually pretty tough as we lost 4 games in the league, but in the end we did come through to win it. 100 points to the total. BERMUDIAN FA CUP The final was pretty close against Dandy Town, and we needed extra time before we were able to get ahead and eventually we made the result rather lopsided. Happy to win the cup though and another 40 points added to our total. SQUAD We had to build the squad all through the season really as we lost players. We again opted for getting international talent through the agents and were able to find some great players. Due to the reputation of the club being poor we were not able to prize away many decent Bermudians from the other top sides to play for us which had worked for us in past. This team did accomplish a double, so I can't moan but we were not that dominant. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS A perfect season for points, but there were a few performances that I was not happy with. We will be staying and looking to reinforce to make doubly sure that we get good points next season here at Bluebirds. MAP Map Link SUMMARY
