Premiership season 2014/15 finale​


West Brom 1-6 Man City
Hamsik 2, Modric, Gotze, Hulk, Aguero


Another record breaking season. Most goals ever 129, wins ever 34 and points ever 104.

Top 4 finished miles ahead of the rest liverpool spending there way into the fight for 2nd place. At the other end Leicester and Cardiff went down on the final day, Wolves survivedby 5 goals. Sunderland went down weeks erlyer after a season of turmoil sacking there regen manger, Then Martin O'Neil's assistant John Robertson lasted 3 months before Malky Mackay came in but couldnt change there fortunes

Build up


Donald and Ancelotti in spat in the pre match press conference Donald claimed Ancelotti did not deserve to win manager of the year especially after i did the double. Carlo responded by calling me one of the nicest managers in football. Clown!


Both teams have injury worries going into the biggest night in Mancunian football history. Man Utd are without Tom Cleverly and Danny Welbeck while Man City are without key forward Eden Hazard and reserve forces Ryan Shawcross and Jack Rodwell


Man City 1-0 Man Utd
Hulk

​
First half - Back and forth action both sides having great chances to take the lead Hulk missing 1 on 1 and Hernadez also missing a "he's got to score" chance


Second half - Took control of the game and took one of the few chances on the go thanks to Hulk then wound out the games in a boring fashion but successful non the less

Unfortunatly one fan was rather merry afterwards and got the year wrong when getting his ink on!

What role are you playing Aguero? and what tactic are you using to score so many goals?
 
^
Im using the same tactic as I did with Celtic. Posted earlier, Unless I play Man Utd or Barca where I play safer usually a third CM


Aguero is playing as a striker but he can roam from position and is playing a free role




PRE SEASON PREVIEW

Season 5 - 2015/2016​


Season 4 finally brought me the champions league and my final season will see me target every trophy. Any failure will see this season as a let down.


Targets
Premiership - Winner
FA cup - Winner
League cup - Winner
Champions league - Winner
World Club Championship - Winner


Main transfers

In the transfer window I decided that I was very happy with the squad. Was split between buying superstars like Pato maybe Ronaldo but with this being my last season I decided to stick with what I know and leave some good players at potential clubs I may be managing next season


Man Utd and Liverpool dominated the transfer window with one pretty big exception.
Gareth Bale finally left spurs to join Barcelona and was replaced with Angel Di Maria who has been upset and transfer listed for ever at Man Utd.
Man Utd spent £20m on left Back Benoit Tremoulinas as well as buying Seb Bassong and Aaron Ramsey for £17m each.
Liverpool bought Luc Castaignos from Inter for £22m and Athletic Madrid's Arda Turan for £12m

Current records in Running
50 games unbeaten in Premiership/Domestic league*
51 games unbeaten in all competition

* Current best ever domestic run
104 - Steaua Bucuresti - 1986-1989
62 - Celtic - 1915/1917
58 - AC Milan - 1991-1993
56 - Benfica - 1976-1978
55 - Porto - 2010-2012
52 - Ajax - 1994-1996


So if we stay unbeaten for the rest of the season we can go 3rd with 60 matches. Very tempted but wont be staying on as it would need more than another season to break the record and i said that 3 years was my maximum.
 
time to move methinks darran me old mucker
 
3 seasons is the maximum so i have between the end of season awards and the day of the premiership fixtures being anounced to get job elsewhere otherwise its resign and wait

Man City won The premiership for the third time without kicking a ball as Man UTd drew. West Ham and Fulham also go down. Was far from the dominant team from last season. Felt as if we were really lacking the firepower in the team and that this was the end of an era ebbing out. Change needed all round
