AS Roma - End of Season - 2022/23 I was gutted to go out to Augsburg in the Euro Cup especially in two very close games we ended up going out on pens which is gutting. In the League we did well enough and made it to the end of the season in 3rd spot which is enough to put us into the Champions League. I was hoping for a little more but in the end it will do. We lost the Italian Cup to a rampant Juventus we have some work to catch up with them. Stars of the Season Jeremy Toljan - a super player who was amazing for us he was solid defensively but great going forward to. Ibrahim Keles - signed him this year and he proved to be as good as I had hoped he would be. Neal Maupay - what a player he is fantastic. He has scored for fun for us. A few changes have been made but the closest person is still 1000 points away from Fergie. I am a million miles away from it. Next Season I have made a few signings to come in the summer. For me the issue this year was going forward so I am tempted to spend big on a striker. I think another good striker would make all the difference for us

AS Roma - February / March - 2022/23 We are having a little bit of a better time in the League now. Two wins to start including a massive win over Juventus who are running away with the League. We drew and lost the next couple against some decent sides. We remained unbeaten for the rest of the period which left us 3rd in the league its not exactly where we want to be Juventus are running away with the League and we are nowhere to be seen. We are drawing far too many games that seems to be the issue. In Europe we are doing well and with some good results find ourselves in the quarter final.

AS Roma - November / December / January - 2022/23 First up the Euro Cup was amazing as we beat the group and went through with ease. We did loose a game that I played a lot of the kids in. We are into the next round where we face a Croat side that I think we should get past easily. The League continues to be a frustration we seem to play well but struggle at the same time. Draws against Torino and Palermo are really daft. We have won a lot of games as well conceding very few goals in the process. At the end of the period we lost two on the bounce and I dont know why this team can be frustrating. These guys all left for a decent amount of cash. None of these are players who I would say are first team players these are guys that were on high wages that we needed to get off the bill. The one loan is a lad who I think has a chance to be good but needs more game time. Diego Leong - a very decent midfielder who becomes a squad player here. He is very good and will get plenty of game time. Paolo De Bortoli - a great young striker who I think will be very good

AS Roma - August / September / October - 2022/23 First up the Euro Cup. We had a very good time in it. First up we beat a Turkish side in the Playoffs. In the League Stage we have all but qualified winning all of our games without conceding a goa. This is enough to get us into the next round I hope. In the League we have had a little bit of a hit and miss time. We have lost four games since the start of the season all but one of them have been frustrating results as we had played better than the team that beat us. Except for the result against Juventus they smashed us badly. I dont know why it happened as I had not changed anything at all.

AS Roma - PreSeason - 2022/23 We are one of the teams in the League that the Media think will do well. I think we have a squad good enough to do some damage in this league as well. Juventus and Inter are miles ahead of us though. Most of these were done by the past manager. Anything from the 7th of August was my work. Igor Tomic only left because he was unhappy. I think a few more will leave soon as I clear out some of the deadwood in the squad. Alessio Romagnoli - a good Defender who has a lot of experience and will add some depth at the back for us Ingo Kruppke - a lot of money but the German will add something in the middle of the park. He is an excellent player

AS Roma - Take Over - 2022/23 An old favourite for longer players of Football Manager and Championship Manager. There old manager Allegri left to join Dortumund in the summer and I jumped at the chance to join this massive club. They are very much the biggest team I have been at by far in this career so far. They have no done too much in game so far. Other than finishing 2nd a couple of times in the league. I am hoping whilst I am here to win a major trophy.

CD Leon - End of Season - 2021/22 We were very poor in the Closing Stage, we did not dominate as much as we should have done. We are a very good side and to perform the way we did was not good enough. I felt we had strengthened well in the break but it did not come to fruition. We eventually qualified to the playoffs we didnt do to well as went out with a loss and a win against Cruz Azul. Thankfully we got to the Champions League Final again and we would play Cruz Azul, we just had enough to beat them in this over two legs to win it for the 2nd time. Stars of the Season Helio Guerrero - another great season from one of the best players to grace Mexico Victor Hugo Rosales - signed by me a couple of years ago, he continues to get better and better Jaime Gomez - I knew he would be good when I signed him but not this good he has been excellent Next Year I am off I think I have done Mexico so it will be time for me to move on I am not sure as to where as I have turned a fair few jobs down whilst being here

CD Leon - January / February - 2021/22 It has been a really odd start to the Closing Season for us. We have struggled to turn draws into wins. I think the issue is it that we are really tired after the Club World Cup. We have a small squad so I am trying to use as many players as possible but it is tough. We are in the playoffs just about and have done well in the Champions League. We are going to have to improve though. Horacio Lopez - a young Mexican who comes in, he will get a fair bit of game of time and is a good player Fitzroy McGowan - a decent Defender who I think will only improve

CD Leon - October / November / December - 2021/22 The greatest time ever in the history of Mexican Football I would say. In the League we were imperious being fantastic. We managed to get us into top spot of the Opening Stage we were then by far favourites to win the title. We did just enough to be Pachuca to get into the semi final. We then faced an Atalante side that we should have beaten easily but we did not. We lost the first leg only to draw the second to be out. That was not the main event though it was the Club World Cup. We beat Yokohama first up with relative ease. We then faced the European Champions Arsenal, some how and I do not know how we beat them 3-1. We beat another shock team Orlando Pirates in the final to become Champions of the World.

CD Leon - July / August / September - 2021/22 A very good start to the year as we have had a fantastic run. In the Champions League we have demolished everyone we have played and find ourselves in the 1/4 final with relative ease. We only conceded one which is even better. In the League we have only lost once a maddening loss against a decent side. I think its clear Chivas are going to be good again this year as well. I am hoping with a bit of luck we may even finish top of the league this year, we should be in the playoffs with relative ease at least.

CD Leon - Pre Season - 2021/22 The media think we stand a chance and I would have to agree with them. I have not done as much as I would have liked transfer business wise but perhaps more importantly I have not lost some of the players I expected to. A lot of players left as I tried to get some of my wage budget back. A couple of players left on loan to get game time as they wont here, one includes a new signing who should be good in the future. Denis Hernandez - a decent young midfield player who goes straight out on loan Jaime Gomez - a very good right back who will be a first team player for us. This was maybe our weakest spot so good to get a new face in

CD Leon - End of Season - 2020/21 As quick as it all fell apart last time out it all came together this time really nicely and out of nowhere really. In the League after an issue or two to start things soon turned around and we were winning again. I dont know why as I had not changed anything. We found ourselves finishing 2nd in the league and off to the playoffs. We lost the first leg but in an amazing performance we soon turned it round. We smashed Pumas twice and got into the final. We faced Chivas who had not been having a great year we had enough to beat them and won the Closing Stage. In the Champions League we were even better. We turned around our 1/4 final defeat in the first leg to get into the semi finals. We faced a very good LA Galaxy side and had just enough to squeeze past on away goals. In the final it was DC United we battered them 5-0 over two legs and we were champions. Stars of the Season Helio Guerrero - an excellent midfield player who was the best player at the club. He was great going forward. Sam Levy - another great player who joined part way through the season Cosme Bucio - club captain who creates a lot going forward A new face coming Enderson Moreira and Ramon Diaz are doing well in South America and gaining some points. Pep has gone to AC Milan and is not doing too well. Jose is still at Chelsea. Next Season I am not too sure I think I will stay for another year and try to repeat what I have done this year as we have a good little side and maybe able to do it. That being said if a massive job in Europe comes up I would consider it. I think my reputation maybe enough to attract them now.

CD Leon -December / January / February - 2020/21 We have started a little better than we ended the Opening Stage. We oddly enough have become a little more scrapy and I am not sure why. Some of these games we would have lost a few weeks ago but now we are drawing or even taking all of the points. We are now right at the top of the League. We have lost our first leg in the Champions League but with a bit of luck and good form we could well get over that. Colman going on loan is a good move as he needs game time. I like Britos but he was 32 and the deal was too good to turn down really. Phil Bowyer - joins on a free from Houston I think a decent striker who will do a job for me Sam Levy - another to leave Houston and join me I think he will be a bit of a star for us

CD Leon -October / November - 2020/21 I dont know what happened here. I have not changed anything at all but we just fell away. We won our first game but after that we could not buy a win. We went into the playoffs thankful to our early season form but did nothing as we were knocked out straight away

CD Leon - July / August / September - 2020/21 Not a bad start all round in the League or the North American Champions League. We have qualified out of our group beating teams from Honduras and a Nicaragua. The group hasnt finished but we are already through. In the league we have been ok, not amazing but not awful. We remained unbeaten for our first 6 games before we threw a stupid game away. We then won 3 on the bounce before failing to win our next two. We have a small squad and feel it when one of the better players is not playing. All in all I am very pleased with the start we have made.

CD Leon - PreSeason - 2020/21 The media do not think that we have much chance of doing anything in this league at all. After the window I cannot say that I would argue with them at all. Perez left the club for a lot of cash. I did not want him to go but I got the opportunity to bring him back on loan, and in fairness I could do with the cash. Henry is a player who I would not be using so I cashed in. A few guys went out on loan who would not be getting a lot of game time. Nathan Hewitt - a good defender who will be a first team player right away. He has played a lot for LA Galaxy Victor Hugo Rosales - a great player who can play behind the striker or in the middle. I think he will be a great player at this level. He joins from Real Salt Lake Alfredo Perez - a fantastic player who joined us back on loan. A player of significant potential. Jesus Garcia - a decent keeper who will be one of the better players here.

CD Leon - End of Season - 2019/20 It has not been an ideal start to my time in Mexico. We lost our first game in a poor performance. We then won the next game before drawing and loosing to go out in the semi finals. Next Season Its been a bit of a false dawn for me here. We only had four games at the end of the year to play. I have tried implementing my tactics but the squad does not quite fit them. I dont think we have the strongest squad in the world. We do have some cash so I can expand the time team in the summer.

CD Leon - Take Over - 2019/20 So I decided to leave Angers and not renew my contract as I knew that I wanted a different club. I took my time to pick a club as a few different offers came up and I was unsure where to go but then eventually something came up. I took over in April late on in the season. The club had just finished 4th in the league so were in the playoffs just about to start when I took the job.

Angers SCO -End of Season - 2018/19 God knows what happened here we fell over the line more than won the title. We just seemed to play awful we could not string together passes and shooting we were very poor. Its like we were very nervous. In the end though our work early on in the season gave us enough to secure the title for us and promotion. Stars of the Season Majed Al-Dossari - superb again for me this year. 11 goals and 14 assists was fantastic for us Myrsoslav Tokars'kyi - the main man the man with goals an absolute dream Philippe Bellec - another good player. He is my metronome in the middle of the park Next Season I am not sure really I am open to offers but I also like the idea of building this team up a little bit in the top league. I will see what jobs pop up if any.

Angers SCO - January / February / March - 2018/19 Another fantastic period where started to pull away from the chasing pack a little bit. My Ukrainian striker who I signed in the summer has been immense. He has been banging in goals left right and centre. We have only had two games where we have not conceded a goal so that is something that needs to get better and quickly if I am to hold onto this position. 7 games left and I think a couple of wins and we may just grab the title.

Angers SCO - October / November / December - 2018/19 Another really busy period of time for us. We remained top but again we did not blow many teams away and everything is just very close. Only Dijon really have been smashed by us. I also dont think we playing amazingly either but just getting by. Maybe that is what Champions do. We have gone out in the Cup as well. All in all its been a good period and will make for an interesting end to the season

Angers SCO - August / September - 2018/19 What an amazing start to the season we had with a huge win over Sedan to start. We continued this form throughout the period scoring a lot of goals. I would say we are conceding too many for my liking but after being promoted it is to be expected. I am not sure how long this form can last as there has been a few close games that I think we have been a little lucky in. We did go out of the Coupe de Ligue where we lost to Nantes a good side so I am not too worried.

Angers SCO - Pre Season - 2018/19 We are not expected to challenge at the upper end of the league and relegation battle looks to be on the cards. I very much agree with the media as there is some big teams in this League so I am unsure how we will get on against them. If we can stay up I will be happy A little bit of a disappointing summer in transfer business. I was not too fussed about the guys who left apart from Hugo Rabilier he was my first choice keeper but would not sign a new deal. Myroslav Tokars'kyi - a new striker who joins from Kyiv I think a very good prospect and will get a lot of time this year. Gives me three quality strikers now Leonard Arkhangelskyi - my new keeper also from Kyiv, maybe not as good as my last keeper but I think he will do a good job and was about as best as I could do Jean-Marie Louis - a good right back who I think will improve with time and gives me some good options

Angers SCO -End of Season - 2017/18 I was a little worried when we lost our first game as we had not been in particularly stunning form. We soon turned it round as we only dropped two more points till the end of the season. In the end we won the title by 6 points. I think most other years Amiens total would be enough for the title but not this year as we were superb. Stars of the Season Majed Al-Dossari - a very good midfield player who helps a lot more in the attacking side than the defensive but is great Karl Toko - he is the main man up top all he does is score he is a fantastic player Philippe Bellec - another key in the middle of the park It seems Fergie is going to be soon overtaken by Pep and maybe Jose both are winning stuff in their countries so I would not be surprised to see it happen soon. Next Year I think I will be here again unless something massive comes up. I am keen to go to a Top League side so if someone wants to give me a shot I will go if not I will stay put. I need to start putting in some good figures on this board.

Angers SCO - January / February / March - 2017/18 The Cup dream got us all the way to the 1/4 finals. We beat a Ligue 1 side Tours 18-17 on pens which was nervy before loosing out to Ligue 2 promotion chasing Nimes. I was not expecting to get anywhere near as far but its always a shame when you go out. We had a couple of wobbles in the league dropping a few silly points here and there. We have now been promoted though and I am fully expecting the league title will soon follow. I have also just signed a new 2 year deal here.
