Been using this tactic with Sheff Wed. 1st season i got them promoted with my own tactic finished 2nd, 1 point behind Newcastle!
But was struggling in the Prem so switched to this tactic, and i finished 12th.
Then my 2nd season in the Prem, i had a unbeivable start, won my first 6 games and was the pace setters, then i drew 1-1 away at stoke after my defender was sent off.
But i was up there for most of the season, slipping down january/ febuary but picked up towards the end.
I was in 4th place on the last day, and just had to beat West Brom at home who were in the relegation zone but could stay up with a win and results going there way. It was between us, Liverpool & Chelsea for 4th place on the last day.
Finished 3-3, Chelsea drew but Liverpool won so they took 4th place by 1 point, was gutted. Also got to the League Cup final but i lost 1-0 to Everton in the final, was in the period when we were going through our bad patch.
Overall a 5th place finish 2nd season up and got to the final of the League Cup, not bad for a team predicted 15th, good stuff.
Left Sheff Wed in the end, as the fans were never happy, always disapointed with a 1-0 defeat away at Man Utd/ Arsenal etc and dispaointed with draws against top teams at home, they would rather i started a different player instead.
So the next game i started the player's they suggested we draw again, then the fans are still disapointed saying the player i dropped that they wanted dropping should have started instead, wtf ??????
Plus our average attendance was 29 thousand no where near a sell out and our away fans in the away end in the match engine was never sold out.
So i felt like the fans wanted something i couldn't give them so i rejected all contract offers and left at the end of the season, got the Real Madrid job now so good times.
