Champions League Group draw:
Liverpool
Espanyol
FC Twente
FK Austria Wien
A group which I think that if we can get one good result against Liverpool we can top it. We must not get complacent though as anything can happen in the competition as we know.

Balaidos

An excellent performance on the back of the Madrid result. We managed to put four past Celta on a day where only one side was psychologically ready for the match and it showed in the result as we triumphed.

Not normally do you see this, we absolutely dominated in Europe and should have teams watching at the result. I am delighted with my team today and they should be the proud with their performance out there. Austria Wien was up for an upset but it was never meant to be.

Welcome to the La Liga Cordoba. They was no match for us and could tell the top from the bottom of the table. We established class in the game and gave our fans a goal feast. Another matchball for Benjamin which we are all delighted with.

Almeria was very unlucky today and the scoreline suggests we could of done more. But we played very well and Almeria almost matched us, they won't perform like that again this season but if it was any other team they would have come away with 3 points. It is just unlucky they had to play the Spanish Champions.

Raùl announces resignation from Espanyol.
View attachment 345752
Today Raùl resigned from club Espanyol after winning the La Liga title with them last year and two super cups. He is held in high regards by the fans and lots of people have disappointed me during my reign at the club.
I would like to thanks the fans and the board for my time here but the players have really let me down in the month and showed no signs of improving. I will go onto a new adventure now and I feel that I am fully established as a manager winning leagues in Spain, Germany and Belgium. Who knows where my future lies?

Where will Raùl be next?
Reports are growing that he has managed in all the big leagues except one which he would like to conquer. The bookies favorite is the Premier League in England. Only Raùl himself knows where he will be this season.
View attachment 346179
Raùl has confirmed his next job will be in England and it will be at a big club. He wants to win the league in England before going on to start a big project at a club he wishes to settle down and make history with. Raùl is known to be very good in the domestic leagues but he is still without a European trophy in his time as manager.
The following clubs Raùl has been linked with are the following:

Raùl named as manager of United.
After days of negotiations with other clubs I had become interested in a few. Arsenal was the other main choice with an already very strong team with an excellent core and players I used to manage like Marco Verratti and Leon Goretzka. They was also a very dominant force in Europe but when the chairman stated his ambition was to just do your best it shows a chairman that is blind without a vision. I had talks with Chelsea who are the reigning champions of England at the minute but they have a squad which most of its players are now passing their peak and have 9-10 first team players at the age of 29+. It would be a complete rebuilding process and I would like to strengthen but not create a whole new team. Manchester City never really had me interested as they are a club with moneybags and most of the players are at the club for a wage and not for pride.
Why United?
View attachment 346369
This man is my inspiration to management. Before I took the job I gave Sir Alex a call and asked if he thought I was the one to take United forward a little further. He replied to me in a slightly weird, Scottish accent of: 'Aye son you have only got to look at your track record winning titles in different countries and the passion you carried as a player is obviously continued with you as a manager. You would be a fool not to take it, just one thing. Go bring the silverware to the red side of Manchester.'
The talks went swimmingly with the Chairman. He offered me assurance on the job if things didn't get off to a good start although he was aware of my capabilities. He said to me that Sir Alex didn't win a title in 3 years then went to be the best manager the game has ever seen. He just wants my attitude to reflect to the players. Also he said due to my financial control that if there is ever a player I need, he will work his hardest to deliver my requests. The club has a brilliant history and you have only got to look at some of the players who have played for the club to make it an easy decision. Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham, Rio Ferdinand. The list goes on but it was a very easy decision to be made and I hope that I can bring success to Manchester.
United are fifth in the table and 5 points behind Chelsea at the top.
Lets do this.

A good way to open the account as manager of United. The fans shone in a red light and was in good noise at Old Trafford, we was very good with the ball on the deck and the movement was good but we will need to strengthen some places in January which I have been given adequate funds to do so.

Bolton have alot of players I managed at Dortmund and have a very strong spine in their team. A point isn't the end of the world although we would have like to have won.
