A few jobs appeared just after the Euros, both in China and Korea but Suwon were the biggest club and despite a fairly poor season so far they have reached the quarter finals of the Asian Champions League.

Hopefully we can hit the ground running and win the ACL almost immediately.

Even so, a late title challenge isn't out of the question either..

Champions League

-- Quarter Final --


Just 6 games into my Suwon career and we have a ACL quarter final. Our form so far (3-1-1) shows we have a chance..

Not sure how this only finished 1-0.

Routine return leg.

Champions League

-- Semi Final --


We've drawn domestic rivals Jeonbuk who we also happen to be chasing down in the league too. Going into this game they are 6 points ahead of us but we play them second last game of the season so these are pivotal matches.

A blistering start to the tie but the late Jeonbuk goal keeps us on our toes.

Neutrals would call it a classic but I wasn't best pleased with some of the defending!

However, another CL final awaits. Can I maintain my 100% record?

-- FINAL --


I took the Suwon job in the hope that I could get an immediate shot at the Asian Champions League and just 120 days later we stand on the brink of glory...

A topsy-turvy first leg that I felt we just shaded and were harshly punished by a dodgy penalty.

All to do in the return leg.​

Despite the utter trauma of being robbed in the ACL Final second leg we managed to regroup and battered league leaders Jeonbuk 5-0.

We won our game in hand 2-1 and snatched the league title on goal difference.

Some comfort for the ACL Final debacle.

We were very comfortable until the equaliser but we hung on and booked another Champions League final appearance.

Can we win it this time!?

 

[JustaJim]

Bet it must be weird playing with this team, what sort of standard do they play at compared to European teams or do you just adapt to a different style of play?

My team would be a mix of Championship and League One players if I'm honest. Not a great deal of potential signings either that would improve us even if I had the money to spend.

Below would be my best two players who would do well in bottom half of England Premier League or the Championship.

Following this, should be a tough challenge and really enjoying reading it Well done on winning the African Champions League so quickly but bad luck in Asia. Are you using an instant result skin??

Just read it doing well hopefully can get the second Champions League title

Great story mate I am now inspired to go off and do a pentagon save myself!
