I got this going myself. Started as manager for grimsby in the skrill premier. Here is how it went:

5 points for me

Decided to give this a go a couple of weeks ago. first job was at Almeria B' and was doing quite well until the first team stole all my players. Still in the first season I moved on to Barcelona B' which was pointless because they didn't have enough players to fill a team, so I quit that after 30 days and moved onto Gillingham which was something of a lost cause and I was promptly relegated to League 2. Busy 1st season! in fact I think that after leaving Almeria B' and Barcelona B' both got relegated which meant I had managed to play a part in 3 relegations in one season. What an achievement! In my second season I managed to finish 3rd to get promotion. 2 points to me! Season 3 involved another two club changes (I?m not very patient). About half way through the season with my Gillingham team in mid-table I moved on to an under achieving Sunderland who were in 23rd​ in the Championship. I gave that a few months and we got up to mid-table, until I was offered the West Ham job. They were offering me a bigger transfer budget and were just outside of the automatic promotion zone in the Championship, so off I went! That season finished with a last day of the season defeat to QPR. Thankfully Blackburn lost as well so I won the league! Another 8 points! Couple of seasons in the Premier League finishing 14th​ and 8th​. Now half way through my 3rd​ Premier League season and I?ve managed to win the Capital One Cup so 5 more points!
On the international front I basically went applying for every international job that came available which led to me getting a rather dull job as manager of Congo. Thankfully at the start of this season I was offered ?1,500 a week to manage Uruguay (bit tight I know) but im hoping a good performance in the Copa America will give me a chance of securing a job with a team who are in with a chance of securing me my first big 5 title!
