Hows it going?
I always do this myself since I live in nottingham, I started my 09 game as oxford united manager and I spent 3 years in the blue square premier league finishing 2nd (losing my playoff final) 9th (had a few players leave, which knocked us back) and finally finished 3rd... Gutted my side, signed in mostly all free transfers and kept the odd few gems I had picked up previously finished 6th in my first year in league two.. (lost the two playoff first legs) and 2nd...
The aim was try to get them into the championship again, although after doing all these seasons my beloved side was being destroyed. So after getting promoted, I resigned straight away and declared interest in notts county. (who already had a manager but was under fire as he finished 21st with them) lol
Now what I do is sign as many players on frees, sell players who aren't worth keeping or who can be replaced. this gives me more of a transfer budget and more of market by wheeling and dealing
2021 is my current year and I've been with notts ever since leaving oxford.
Year;
1 - Finished 8th
2 - Finished 1st
----------
League One
3 - Finished 11th
4 - Finished 1st
----------
Championship
5 - Finished 7th (just missed playoffs by one point)
6 - Finished 4th (won promotion through play-offs
----------
Premier League
7 - 16th (managed to survive, even though I believed my side was mid table worthy)
8 - 6th (started off bad, ended up flying high and was really content as we won the league cup too)
9 - 8th (Started off bad yet again, soon rised back up the leagues.. did well in all the cups too, though after coming second in my group in the uefa cup I lost to barcelona who battered us.. after that we quickly exited all the cups)
This season I've played 26 games, currently sitting nicely on the 5th spot.
My sides mostly english internationals, young (most below 25) and I only have 5 players who are from country's outside the uk..
Hoping to finish within the ufea cup seedings so we can aim higher next season..
Thought I'd share my news, as I did really like reading this...
