Birmingham City - A duncan.g story

[Dunc]

BREAKING NEWS!

So I have taken over at Birmingham City. It's a far throw from growing up in Ethiopia. At the ripe age of 21, I have been given a great opportunity, and I will be filling in this blog with how my career is panning out, I think I will do it every half season, don't have too much time to do writing when I have a club to run..

So where do I start, I joined Birmingham as a fresh young face on the managerial scene, with dream and ambitions of reaching Europe and maybe one day managing my dream team, AC milan. I am in no rush tho, I want to make the Brummies a force in the prem and Europe first!

So anyway, pre season, I didn't attend any preseason games due to having given birth to a pair of lamas in the summer, I was on paternaty leave. I left my assistant in charge, he did a good job. I was still able to dabble in the transfer market though, using my mobile and internet on my phone, I was able to bring in some new faces.

Lacina Traoré - Ivory Coast - ST - 19

After failing to sign Peter Crouch, I went to find someone even taller, just to rub it in Spurs face. Found this 6ft 8inch lad, looks like a bit of an alright! Cracking jump on him aswell, he showed me when he dunked over me while playing a friendly game of basketball! The is talk that he is currently dateing teen actress Miley Cyrus, shes only 15 tho, so I gave him a slap.

Mark Noble - England - MC - 22

£9million I payed for this lad, looks alright, good in training but when it comes to matches, he is caaaack! I think I need to find out his best role, currently trying him as a box to box, but hes still playing like a mong. Might see if I can offload him next summer, big dissapointment. Hopefully he will crack on with the rest of the season and improve, if not he is out.

Artem Milevskyi - Ukraine - FC - 24

Now this lad looks good. Pitty that muppet of a Traoré decided to clatter him in training, a day after our 1st pre season game. Broke his leg in 2 places. A bit of an Aaron Ramsay I must say. Anyway, 7 months out, atleast he has alot of time to party and learn some English!

Nicolás Otamendi - Argentina - DC - 21

Came with rave reviews, played ****. Maybe I need to give him a talking to.. He's a bit of a hard nut tho! Don't want a black eye for the start of the season! How easily would the press blow that out of proportion! Anyway, nice enough bloke, just needs to buck up his ideas if he thinks he can keep Dann or Johson out the team.

Sandro - Brazil - DMC - 20

Got this lad on loan, looks a bit special, my coaches have told me they think hes the next big thing! The press are even describing him as a wonderkid! Now I wouldn't go that far. He needs to prove himself in the prem, then I can try and sign him perminantly next season.

Anyway, back to the current state of the squad, well, it's OK.. some old players here that are a bit past it, need to get rid of them. Got loads of money thanks to the new owners anyway, so not a problem with the wages at the moment anyway. Being half way through my 1st season I think I have a good idea of how the team is getting on, who likes who, all that jazz. I think I need to buck up my ideas tho, I told the board I would get top half, and I am 11th at the moment! Plus points, I am still in the FA cup, 4th round now. I am also in the semis of the League cup, have Villa aswell! I have already beaten them 2-0 at home earlier in the season, I hope I can recreate that so I can get to my 1st cup final!

I have got a picture of the tactics im currently using aswell as the league table.

Any questions please just ask I will update when I have finished the season, with a end of season review. Thanks for reading.

Cheers!

Dunc

good luck, unlucky with Milevskyi:S

****** Brilliant ! Hope the rest of the story has the same humour. Love that your a disco dancer with no legs. Would pay to see that.

Chicka chicka yeah! Guess who won the league cup?! oh yeah! So we drew Chelski in the final, To be honest I didn't hold up much hope, as they are a bit rapey. Lucky for me I have Traoré, that guy is a one man team sometimes! Pitty he's so **** with the ladies! Anyway where was I? oh yeah, The Final. So we went in, knowing that if we won, we could become heros to our supporters. Just before the team went out, I told them that if they won, Jamie from reception would come in and give them a little show, that sure got there hearts racing and they went out with a good old fighting spirit!

I told them to sit back, soak up the pressure and then hit them on the counter. Pitty they didn't ****** listen to me, just went out and ran aound like ****** headless chickens, 14 mins in, Landon Donovan scored a simple tap in. ****.

I thought we would concede more by sitting back, so I rallyed the team, telling them to just overload the chelsea defence, 3 mins later, up stepped our lanky hero Traoré, he must have been listening to the black eyed peas before the game, because he stormed through the defence and gave the ball some 'boom boom pow' and spanked it past Cech! 1-1! come on lads, keep the pressure up.

They didnt keep the pressure up, they decided to go back to the headless chicken tactic. Muppets.

Anyway, we held on till full time at 1-1, I gave them a pat on the back when they got in the changing room, telling them there still in this, they only need to find one more goal.

They must have listened, because on the 100th min, the Lank tank did it again, smashing his way through the defence, and piledriving the ball past Cech again! I wasn't that fond of his celebration tho, doing a Bas Savage and moonwalking the length of the pitch! Can't complain though, as we held on for the victory, one of the biggest wins this generation of Birmingham City fans will have seen.

Went out in the evening with the team to their local haunts. Followed every where by sky sports. There like animals, and not the good kind. I just wanted to show my team how much I appriciated the win, but no, I was forced to show my dance moves off, someone caught them on camera phone. ****. I have just been offered a place on strictly come ice skating or some bollocks. Heather Mills is on it, she also doesn't have a leg. I don't rub the fact in everyone's face though. I might do it, but need some special shoes made, or maybe some special feet, or probably both. Anyway, looks like my dance career could go through the roof with this, but I wont let it get in the way of my Brimingham commitments.

I will next update when I reach the summer. There are some people I have been looking at signing. Romelu Lakaku is one, he's scored 9 goals so far this season for Anderlecht, but hes gunna cost about £14mill and hes only like, 10 years old. We will see what happens in the summer!

PS. I sold Carr in Jan for £3.2million, and signed Loic Nestor for £3.9million. So far I am regreting the decision.

Unlucky with Milevsky Lacina the plonker

 

[bcfc]

If I had seen this earlier I would have reccommended that you shouldn't have sold Carr. I always keep him and the season he retires Andy Watson doesn't want to extend his deal, Carr is always appointed.

****. Oh well Nestor is playing pretty well so far this season, he's only young so its a good plan for the future. I am gunna find a new assistant in the summer anyway, I will update in a bit for January.
