June 2013

We got given some money for the new season but there are so few players available that would improve our team so it was hard to make many transfers, Ademilson had already been set up to come in at the end of the month and i also managed to get Carlos Fierro, these two will both be superstars one day and would never join my team once at full potential so i picked them up now.
The plan is to play them both against the weaker teams and then Selezynov and an AMC against the better sides so they get some game time and Selezynov gets a bit more rest with the Champions League games his main focus this year.

None of the first team players left except from Kalinic who was now not needed and went to Sparta Prague for £5million so was a good bit of buisness, i had a lot of players in the reserves and on loan who had come back, i put them all on the unwanted list and let the director of football get rid of them with most leaving with contract terminations or free transfers the main one being Matheus who was on a riduculous £18k a week!

Season Expectations
View attachment 293809

I didnt really need the money so thought i would give myself a little leway and declare that i could manage around 4th place.

View attachment 293811

The League odds have me at around 3rd favourite but the media have me at 4th, i cant see that the big two are going to have such bad years again my only saving grace may be some bigger clubs buying up all the stars with Metalist looking like the will lose Cleiton Xavier and Jose Sosa.

Illichivets N
1 - 0
Giuliano 15
ATT : 31,590

View attachment 293826

A brilliant win to start the season as we lost our last game to them in the league and there win in the cup was as much of a shock as our league win.

12/07/2013
Shakhtar A
1 - 1
Selezynov 18
ATT : 51,504

A good draw over all but as we conceded such a late goal it felt like a kick in the teeth, this would have got our league defence off to such a good start but it wasnt to be.

20/07/2013
Karpaty H
1 - 0
Rotan 59
ATT ; 20,668

Rotan has lost his starting place this season due to his age but after coming on as a sub and scoring an amazing 30 yard blast he may get back into the team for a bit.

Kryvbas A
4 - 0
Selezynov 22, 71 Nekounam 46 pen 93

Nekounam as a free transfer has been inspired he has been one of our best players for the past few months now its a shame he is 32 but he will probably have another couple of years in him for this league.

Another good month with 4 wins out of 5 but a shocking draw against lowly Volyn.

3/08/2013
Metalist H
2 - 0
Wellington Nem 40 Adryan 81
ATT ; 28,374

A good win against one of our big rivals with some wonderful displays by the two brazilians Nem is an unstoppable force at the moment compared to Konoplyanka who is more like Theo Walcott and can run around millions of players then smash a ball 40 yards wide!

10/08/2013
Illichivets A
4 - 2
Selezynov 8 Giuliano 19 Chebeyachko 64 Adryan 92
ATT : 7,213

A good win and a bit of revenge against a team that beat us last season and it was more impressive than the cup display, Adryan does like to kick a team when there down though.

17/8/2013
Volyn H
1 - 1
Konoplyanka 45
ATT : 20,711

A terrible result how can we beat teams like Metalist and Illichivets but struggle to draw with a team like Volyn, they scored first but we hit back immediately and then absoulutely nothing happened in the second half despite subs and tactical changes.

24/08/2013
Poltova A

Fierro 8, 38 Ademilson 24 Wellington Nem 83

In some of the lesser games i have decided i will play two up top and use both of the young strikers to give Selezynov a rest and they seem to have done okay, and thats right the attendance was only 1 as they only have 1 seat in there stadium and the Ukrainian league does not allow standing crowds.

View attachment 293938View attachment 293939

The press declared it a very tough group but i have seen worse if i could nick a few points of PSV and get into the Europa League by finish 3rd i will be happy, i am currently ranked 100th in the european rankings but am not the worse ranked team in the champions league this season​
 
Nice start to the season after a great last season. Good luck in the Champions League but if you don't qualify this season there is always next!
 
The crazy thing is if i grab a draw in the champions league group stages it will pay my players wages for 2 months, its the difference between me making a profit each month or losing money!

4 wins out of 5 including a huge result in the champions league against Borussia Dortmund which paid for a couple of months wages.

14/09/2013
Metalurg D A
3 - 1
Rotan 42 Selezynov 62, 68
ATT ; 3,537

A good win with Rotan scoring a 30 yard free kick which hit the crossbar and went in then Selezynov scores 2 headers in 6 mins by either Winger Konoplyanka and Wellington Nem

17/09/2013
Champions League Group Stage
Dortmund H
2 - 1
Selezynov 46 Ademilson 93

An amazing victory with the match nearing its end at 1-1 and winger Konoplyanka came off injured and with no replacements in that position so i placed Ademilson out there and he went on a dizzying run and smashed in a winner!

21/09/2013

Wellington Nem 85

We fell through into the next round after getting knocked out at this stage last year i thought it was happening again, Ademilson and Fierro both played upfront and didnt even manage to score a 6 in the ratings but Nem came on late on and save the day.

28/09/2013
Chornomorets A
3 - 1
Selezynov 20 Giuliano 68 Konoplyanka 72

A good victory against another team with some good early season form, i dont know how some of these smaller teams manage to get such big crowds though it must be because there facing the champions.

Wellington Nem 12 Giuliano 44, 75 Adryan 68

A good victory with Ademilson on form as Selezynov gets a rest with the important champions league games coming up, Ademilsons agent wants an improved contract after he has one good game even though he has 4 years left on his contract! ****** that you nobody.

And finally the beginning of the winter transfer window means a change in expectations.
View attachment 294348

I doubt i will be signing anyone for now but may look at the contracts that are expiring, a few of my players contracts are up and they want silly money to sign new deals, i bit the bullet with Rotan, Mandzyuk and Zozulya and gave them double there money contracts but allowed several others to negotiated moves, the worst was Nekonuam is leaving for Bolton after being unable to sort out his terms, he wanted £28k a week compared to his current 3k a week, i dont know what Bolton will do with a 33 year old Iranian midfielder.

Couldnt have got a harder team to start with but at least we play at home second which should give us some sort of advantage.​

What a set of results which keep the european adventure alive, we didnt sign anyone for the now but did pick up a few youngsters who will join next season, Carlos Fierro had been complaining a lot and not performing well and we got an offer from a Mexican club for £5.25 million which i couldnt refuse so i cut my losses and got rid of him, also Olynyk has decided to join Shakhtar when his contract his up but i dont mind as he was asking for silly wages.

With Selezynov now getting towards 30 Ademilson has started to get ahead of him in the pecking order but with all the games we shall play it will be nice to chop and change with Selezynov missing Giuliano will also have to step up and take the penalties but these three should be just about hitting there prime.

Main Youth Prospects
View attachment 294674View attachment 294675View attachment 294676


Some decent youth prospects are around the squad now and Tita the brazilian CB is probably going to get the most game time but Rykun looks like he could become the next Schevchenko if he is developed right.

Only 2 games this month and a chance to pick up our first piece of silverware against Shakhtar and there new manager Dan Petrescu who has been talking **** all week and needs to be put in his place.

Ukranian Super Cup
Shakhtar N
3 - 2
Ademilson 13, 20, 30
ATT : 60,723

Ademilson first game as first choice striker and he shows why, a hatrick inside of 17 minutes absolutely destroys Shakhtar with them only able to give us a few nervy minutes at the end with a couple of consolation goals.

Arsenal Kyiv A
3 - 1
Mazuch 44 Zozulya 67 Konoplyanka 91
ATT : 9,093

A good away win to start the season with us getting the equalizer just before half time making things easier for us going into the second half where our two subs Zozulya and Konoplyanka both come on and score.

Some very bad news after the league game where we find out that LB Strinic is out injured for 11 months!
