Angers SCO - October / November / December - 2017/18 An incredible run as we just seem to win every single game we play. We are out playing all teams and dont seem to be getting threatened. Our defence is outstanding. The only slightly disappointing thing is that Amiens are doing very similar to us and winning nearly all of their games as well. We did just beat them convincingly so I hoping that pushes them down a little now. We are also through to the 10th round of the cup. We have not beaten any big teams but we are doing well. Pat Lowe - comes in on a free decent player who can be used in a number of spots Thomas Dixon - left Liverpool in the summer and I snapped him up, lots of potential Rodolphe Lambert - left Clermont and I grabbed him, he is very good now Frederic Germain - another defender and another very good option

Angers SCO - August / September - 2017/18 A very good start to the season for us as we only dropped 4 points. We lost against Amiens who have started like a house on fire and the FC Istres who we drew against are favourites for promotion so not too bad. Going forward we are very good. My two new strikers have hit the ground running and doing very well. I think this will be a fun season. A few youngsters left all of which were promising. I do have sell on fees for all of them. The issue is we are loosing money. We are 2k under wage budget but over a million in debt. The issue is that we do not get any TV money so we are financially struggling we will need to get promotion to sort it.

Angers SCO - Pre Season - 2017/18 Being recently relegated it was always very likely that we would be among the favourites to bounce back up. I think we have a decent squad so we certainly stand a good chance of being in the mix for it. When I took over we were 13k over wage budget and also nearly a million in debt I am doing all I can to put us on the right track. We are doing this by letting the big earners go and trying to cash in on some youth players with potential, with a sell on fee too. Karl Toko - this deal was agreed before I came but I think he is a decent enough player Wesley Said - scored 14 goals at this level a couple of years ago. Benjamin Graton - a good player in a position of need for us, so pleased to get him Gregoire Amiot - played 11 games in Ligue 1 last year bit of a steal

Angers SCO - Take Over - 2017/18 It took a long time but I have a new job. I was picky with what job I wanted as I wanted to go somewhere that would help build up the reputation. The club I chose was Angers SCO. They are a Ligue 2 side who have just finished bottom of the league and been relegated so we should be favourites or at least one of them for the league next year.

Results - Olympics -2016 - France Under 23s I took over the France job as I felt we had a chance to do something in the Olympics. I thought a decent little run would be coming. We won in our build up match in a game we dominated. Two wins and a loss in the Group stage was ok but I was disappointed to loose as we played better. Germany beat us and to be fair we were by far the second best team. I left after this game and am now unemployed

End Of Season - Serie B -2015/16 - Pergolettese We had a bit of mixed time here. We had enough to stick in midtable and to being the most mid table in the world. Surviving was the main aim here and we secured that fairly early on. I think we are a decent team but we are a million miles away from any form of consistency that would get us near the top of the table. All in all it was a superb season and one that I am very pleased with. Stars of the Season Perrick Rakotoharisoa - was immense this year when he came in. I am very pleased to have him Alfonso De Lucia - took the number one spot to be his own and was good enough for me Alex Sirri - another new signing who has been incredible this year. Other clubs want him so we will do well to keep him Jose and Pep have done well winning the Premier League and Champions League. They are chasing you Fergie Next Year So I have been offered an International Job and I have decided to leave here. I want to be in charge of either a club or a nation not both. I have a good time here but I think now is the right time to move on.

January / February / March - Serie B -2015/16 - Pergolettese After the good form that I was in I was gutted to hit a run of bad form. The cup was always going to happen. Catania are a decent Serie A side and find themselves in 7th this year so to loose is no big shame. We lost four on the bounce before slowly returning back to some form. We are now well and truly midtable. I dont expect us to do much either way now I think we will just be a mid table side which is not too bad given we have had two promotions on the trot.

October / November / December - Serie B -2015/16 - Pergolettese We have had a really good period here. Unbeaten at one stage for for five games was fantastic. We are scoring plenty I think there is a slight issue with our defence but going forward we have not got a problem. I think being in midtable is a lot better than I thought we would be any certainly better than it looked like a short time ago. I am not saying we are safe but there is going have to be a bit of a dip for us to get there. Pape Diamanka - joined on a free he will be a very good player and will get lots of games for us.

August / September - Serie B -2015/16 - Pergolettese We managed to get into the Cup this year. First up we faced Como they are a good side but a side that we took out. We then managed a superb win over Genoa to put us into the next round. The league has been really tough. We started off really well getting a few points, we then dropped off a bit as we lost three on the bounce.

Pre Season - Serie B -2015/16 - Pergolettese Here are the Seasons Preview. As I thought we would struggle a little bit this year and the media clearly think the same. There are some huge clubs in this league. Teams like Cagliari, Palermo, Verona and Brescia. This is a massive step for us. We have not done as much as we did last year. We only let the one player go. He had not played much for us so he is off. I signed a lad from Inter on shared ownership, to be honest I didnt want him so he will be sold soon. Perrick Rakotoharisoa - a good midfielder joins from Le Harve a good bit of experience. Cristian Altinier - another striker to add some competition up top for us lots of experience. Alex Sirri - good defender who will be playing a lot Roberto Guttio - I think the best player we have signed a very good midfielder who will get lots of game time.

End of Season - Serie C1A -2014/15 - Pergolettese We finished the year off with a great finish. We only conceded two goals in five games. This was enough to give us the title. It is amazing to have secured the title as I thought we had a decent squad but maybe not as good as others. We only lost four games all year which was the main reason for our success. Stars of the Season Amedeo Tacchinardi - a super player in the middle of the park who did all roles for us. Very creative for us. Evans Soligo - bought as a squad player but I could not drop him he scored a lot from the midfield. Thibault Alet - played better than I could have hoped scored a ton for me. Jose Mourinho has just won the FA Cup and the Premier League so pushed up the rankings a fair bit. Next Season Not sure really we will be in Serie B with a decent Serie C1 squad. I will hope to bring in a few new faces and some more quality to get us through. I will also be listening to the market to see if much is open.

January / February / March - Serie C1A -2014/15 - Pergolettese Four games won on the bounce at the start of the year put us bang in the mix at the top of the table. We then hit a little bit of a wobble and I am not sure why as we did not change too much. A five game run with no wins just very odd. I was particularly worried that we did not score many at all. We soon turned it around and got back to winning ways. We managed to seal a play off spot which is great and was more than I was expecting this year really. We are top of the league as well which is fantastic. Ricardo Carllini - a player who can play a number of spots across the back for us. I think he will get better as well so I really like him Alfonso De Lucia - an option in goals for us he is a good player and really a decent option

October / November / December - Serie C1A -2014/15 - Pergolettese In this period we really did very well. Firstly in the Serie C Cup we did a decent job, we got a draw and snuck through on pens to the next round in a game we did not play well in. We smashed the next team to go into the 3rd group round. We did not show up in the 3rd group and only got a point which really is not good enough. We were out. We had some fantastic performances in the league as we got some good wins. I felt like we had left a couple of points with other teams that could have maybe won. That being said we are top of the league and looking good.

August / September - Serie C1A -2014/15 - Pergolettese Started off with the C Cup, we lost our first game against a very good side. We then beat the next, this was enough to see us into the next round of C Cup. We started off our C1A campaign in incredible form as we only dropped 2 points. We are scoring for fun as well at the moment which is always good news. My two strikers Jeda and Alet have been in super form. I am hoping we can keep this up

Pre Season - Serie C1A -2014/15 - Pergolettese I am surprised that we are given odds this low as I thought we would be a lot lower. I do think that it is very close between most of the teams in the league. Even our parent club are below us. I think we do have a little bit of a chance but who knows. With all teams being so close its hard to see how we will do. We let a lot of players go who would not be playing much of a part. I needed to clear some money off the wage bill to if I wanted to recruit some new players into the squad. We needed to do so as the quality we have is not great. Luca Ferri - had him on part ownership signed him permanently as he will do a job. Thibault Alet - joins on a free from France he will get a lot of game time up top for us. Youness El Hajjam - a good player to sit at the base of our midfield. Antonio Picci - another option of a striker Enrico Alfonso - I needed a keeper and he was about as good as I could get Morris Carrozzieri - another good Defender for us to use The rest of the guys who came in were players just for depth or kids coming. I think we have a decent little squad but I am not sure how it will compare to some other sides as there is some big teams at this level.

End of Season - 2013/14 - Pergolettese We got beat in a game that we should have really won as we are better than that side. Three wins and a draw in our last four games was enough to put us into 7th. This apparently is a promotion which I am unsure as to why but I will take it. Not sure if there is some sort of rezoning for next season. Stars of the Season Fedrico Rizzi - a very good left back who did superb for us. He is very solid at the back. Mario Scietti - another good performance from our other wing back another solid player Nicolo Esposito - he has scored a few goals and had a couple of assists but mainly he just keeps the game ticking for us. No changes here really Jose Mourinho had a chance to move up as he got into the semis of the Champions League. Next Year I will be here again I am intrigued to see where and what league I end up in. I am going to have to look at the squad as there is a few faces leaving especially the guys on loan. I will be looking to add a name or two along the way to.

January / February / March - 2013/14 - Pergolettese I took over and lost my first couple of games in charge. I was expecting this as we settled down and I got to know the players and also settle on a tactic. We did settle a little bit in the league and eventually pulled away from the bottom section of the league and into the middle of the league. We still are in a very good chance of hitting the playoffs this season. We are 20 points behind the leaders and I dont think we will catch that up. We went out in the C Cup as we lost both legs. We are going to need to keep winning and pushing forward to keep towards the promotion spots.

Take Over - 2013/14 - Pergolettese I had to wait all the way until January 1st for a job to come up and it was off to the Lombardy region of Italy to a side that want Promotion. I am not sure we will manage it given the struggles that they are going through at the moment but I was bored of waiting for a job to come up so just took the job to get into something. A poor season from them so far as they struggle at the wrong end of the table. it is a fairly tight thing though in these leagues and a few wins on the bounce will rocket you up the leagues. I do not have any time to waste as I need results and I need them quickly.

I have started another thread doing the same thing on FM12 but I have found my old log ins for this site and have decided to use this profile rather than the new one I set up as I could not find the log ins. So here we are and I am returning to my favourite game and the one I spent most hours on. It will be the same concept I will be looking to get to the top of the World and the top of the Hall of Fame. Time to beat Fergie.

End of Season - 2017/18- South African Premier Division - Mamelodi Sundowns What an amazing end to the season for us. Although we did fall over the line a little bit. Firstly in the cup we got through to the final. In the final a lot of my first team had left the club as they did not agree to new deals. We did win the League and this put us right in the middle of the South Africa hall of fame. Stars of the Season My stars have left me as they would not sign new deals. Don Carlo has pushed up in the ranking as he won La Liga. Jose is also still there. Next Season I have decided to leave, the reason is that 6 of my first team have left on frees as they would not sign new deals. I have tried to replace them but the players coming in are not good enough and given the fact I can only use 5 foreign players I do not have much choice. I have resigned and I will be waiting for my next job.

February / March / April- 2017/18- South African Premier Division - Mamelodi Sundowns This is getting to be much tighter than I would have hoped for. We have dropped points that we should not have really. We went three games without a win we should have won at least two of these. We dropped points against the Pirates who are our biggest rivals a win over them would have put us back in our commanding position. We are still in pole position for the title. In the cup we got two superb wins to put us into the later stages.

December / January - 2017/18- South African Premier Division - Mamelodi Sundowns We have had the most amazing time ever. We actually only lost one game and it was one we should have won. We played much better than in other games that we had won but lost. We only conceded five goals as well which is incredible. We are top of the league by a clear seven points now so we are well within a chance of a title. Ifeanyi Onigbo - joined on a free. Not a purchase that I wanted to make but the main man Claudio Benitez was sold for 2million by the board. They decided that the offer was too good to refuse and he was gone

October / November - 2017/18- South African Premier Division - Mamelodi Sundowns A fantastic start to the season has been carried on. We drew our opening game against a side who are not too bad. We then won our next game against FS Stars who are poor, but it gave us the opportunity to get another cup win for us. We won our next game in the KO Cup as well just. 4 points in the next two was good but the draw was a shame as we took the lead a couple of times. We went out in the KO Cup and I think it was my fault as I rested a few players. We won our last two games and this has put us right in the mix for the title.

August / September - 2017/18- South African Premier Division - Mamelodi Sundowns We had a busy time. We were in the Super 8 competition first up. We got a superb win in the quarter final and then two great wins in the semi finals to put us into the final. I think we really stand a chance of getting another cup here. We won our first three games in the league to put us right at the top of the league. We then struggled a little bit we went two nil up against Kaizer Chiefs but got pulled back. We did not really show up in the next game. In the last game of the month we battered a very poor team.

Pre Season - 2017/18- South African Premier Division - Mamelodi Sundowns 11 goals and only 1 conceded in the Pre Season period was great. We were fairly busy in the market and add four new players into the squad all of which will be in and around the first team squad all year. Laffor was a bit part player and left. The two who left on the cheap were not really of the standard required to be a first team player so getting some cash for them was good. Sithole (great name) was maybe a little unlucky to leave but he does take up one of our foreign player slots and was not a guaranteed starter so he had to go. Katlego Mphela - left Cesana in the summer and joined us. He is a very good player and will score a lot of goals for us Ayanda Ndluvo - I think he is a very good player and is an upgrade on what we have. Cost a bit but I think its a good deal. Robert Ng'ambi - a good player who can play anywhere in midfield. Tsepho Mokoena - a lot of money but a player who will only get better and in a spot of need for us
