After winning the League Cup with Man City and taking them into the Champions League, Winning the World Cup with England, Getting Ipswich into the Premier League, And turning Fiorentina into title contenders.. I took over Colchester United ^^)

I took over half way through the season and did pretty badly tbh, Finishing 12th :S After bringing in some new faces and getting rid of lots of deadwood, I went at it again and in my first full season i romped it finishing 1st in League One with 101 pts!
I thought i would be in for a tough tough season as the Championship is one of the hardest leagues, So i signed more players after having to sell my star player (Centre Back) called Beattie for £5m as the board said so :'( So i had some moneys. I signed an ageing Pape Diakhate & Kevin Thompson along with my earlier buys of West Ham reservee Daniel Sturridge and Kelvin Etuhu. Alot of young regens and they look the business. A young 17 yr old Dutch winger called Maas is a sexy creative technician is potentially awesome!
As i said the Championship is tough but i'm 25 games into the season and i'm sitting in 1st! I'm on 57 pts and on a 11 game winning streak :O

Those games were:

2-1 Doncaster
3-1 Swindon
2-0 Fulham
2-1 Southampton
4-2 Southend
4-1 Crystal Palace
1-0 Blackburn
4-2 Derby
3-1 Northampton
2-0 Exeter
4-2 Nottingham Forest


I will keep updating, Hopefully we will be getting to the Prem sooner rather than later :D
 
Very nice man :D. Yeah the championship is a really hard league, took me 3 years to get out of it with Leeds.

Looking foward to see if you win the league, Good Luck :).
 
Everyone's going up with Leeds! :D

Colchester 5 - 1 Reading (FA Cup Third Round)
Young 19yr old Ross Williams with a very mature hat-trick at such a young age. Dubbed the next "Michael Owen" Not sure if thats a great thing but its looking promising :)

The ****** board get on my ****! They sold my Star Player Craig Beattie for £5m to Hull as it was too good to turn down and they have now sold the replacement i got for him called Danny Graves for £5m too Swansea 6 months after i got him!! :'(
Good profit but i just want to keep the team i have, ****** board!

MK Dons 0 - 1 Colchester
A scrappy game which was hard fought for. MK Dons were all over me towards the end, having the more shots but less possession. An early goal from Man Utd reject Martyn Clayton was enough for the win.

Colchester 5 - 1 Sheff Wed
Pretty much every shot that was hit, went in for us really. 5 goals from 5 different players in a dominant performance before Wednesday hit a late consilation goal.

Southampton 0 - 0 Colchester ( FA Cup 4th Round )
The Saints defended well and pushed us back. Was very hard to break eachother down which predictably ended in a 0-0 draw.

Replaced the departed Danny Graves for a young 16 yr old called Johnny Barnes from Wycombe. Scouts recommended him so will stick with my other centre backs for the rest of the season and hopefully push this guy through.
 
the champ is stupidly tough if you dont have 4 or 5 mill a season i've tried with my home team plymouth argyle most seasons you get at max 750k you can get more if you have good cup runs and high gates i was in that game i was stuck for 4-5 seasons at which point i was offerd the fullham job which i accepted, which was an error as fullham had a terrible squad lol, btw good job with Colchester to bad the board keep selling your players im sure if you get to the prem they will stop as they will prob make a profit each month
