Munster Senior Cup Final V Cork City

A dominant win against our fierce local rivals but we really shouldnt have let in 2 goals with how much we had the ball and dominated the play as i pick up my 54th trophy with Limerick.

1st Leg V Red Star - Home

View attachment 365224

A 6-0 romping to show we really dont deserve to be here! We must be the highest ranked team in at this stage by a country mile with James Moore smashing in a hattrick and all but confirming a place in the Playoffs

July Fixtures

View attachment 365223

8 wins in a row this month with some important wins over our league rivals UCD and Dundalk, Its become such a walk in the park in the league that i just play the same against the better clubs than i do against the other teams in the league, I dont even have to tweak the tactics or play a little more defensive were just that much better than everyone else.

UCD have a terrible time of it after losing to us in the league as we jump to an impressive 12 points clear in the league as we look to win our 11th league title in a row.

Boadu and Moore are starting to break away in the race for the Golden Boot now but its funny to see that Boadu is our AMC and he has 5 more goals than our main striker Moore.

Champions League Playoffs

1st Leg V Maribor - Away

View attachment 365217

This was the last game i played before i went out on the town yesterday and i was not impressed! We had a shed load of chances but just couldnt put the ball in the back of the net and ended up with a bore draw with it all to do when they come to Ireland.

2nd Leg V Maribor - Home

View attachment 365215

A comfortable 3-1 victory back in Ireland sees us through to the Champions League Group Stages and nets us that much needed £7.3Million cash windfall for getting there.

So we get a chance to gain some revenge on Chelsea who knocked us out of the Champions League last season along with big teams Lyon and Dinamo.

So along with all the Champions League results we also won 5 out of 6 domestic matches with Sligo Rovers yet again holding us to a draw in the league the only team who has taken points off us so far this season.

I cant be too disappointed with a 3-3 draw away from home against one of our main rivals in the group. Especially as it was a very late wonder goal from Grealish that grabbed us the point with Maher again in fine form for his country with another brace.

So we have got a couple more friendlies to end the year on but it looks like the Irish FA are happy enough to let me stay on as Ireland manager for Euro 2028 Qualifiers.

I have been focusing on improving the youth facilities and so forth because my youth intakes have not been very good in recent seasons and i want to be more of a homegrown sustainable club.
Both training and youth facilities are being upgraded at the moment too so will be even better in a few months time.​

Hey man

I'm about to go into my 5th season with Sligo and i seem to be going round in circles a bit,

I keep finishing bottom of my champions league group but can't afford good enough players to progress as every year i get the same budget which means no improvement which means i'm stuck in a cycle of finishing bottom constantly

Any ideas how to break this?

Cheers

Loan players can help a lot, I always go for free transfers so the budgets have never really effected me as i have only ever signed Moore and Samuelsen for actual transfer fees whilst everyone else came in on free transfers. I always used to rest my players for the domestic games right before the Champions League and played a very defensive tactic so i was nicking a lot of wins and draws. My finances went up a lot once i was getting to the group stages so beyond that im not too sure

The shots galore tactic link is on here somewhere thats the goalscoring tactic i use domestically and then for europe i use the same now but in some of the bigger games a few seasons back i used to just stick everyone a lot further back and make us hard to break down
