STAND FREE WHEREVER YOU MAY BE - And you thought Celtic beating Barca was something!

Just thought to say although I am a new subscriber to this story (I am only up to 2014), I am loving this story. It is riveting to the point where I am starting to Hate Celtic, and Celtic is the Scottish team I root for in the SPL. Keep up the good work. Although MojoDex was my inspiration behind writing my Managerial Career, your story has helped me decide on a format to write my story in. GO DONS!!!!!!

Great to here dude! Looks like a massive mission you have going on there. Good luck!

Meanwhile at Donald Stadium


In


Joey Herder £3.3m
View attachment 355495


Brought in to replace the outgoing Sudimak. Herder appeared on my shortlist when i was searching for players to add to my Dutch pool. Far from the finished artical but has potential hopefully not too old at 22.




Carlos Fierro £35k
View attachment 355497


A thorn in my side for years and years joins the force. The financial gain in replacing Bill Thomas with Fierro was significant and with his contract up in 6 months at the Etihad and a lack of football he'll be a brilliant teacher for McCulloch. Shame that he doesn't want a career after football but never mind. The worlds not perfect.






Out


Peter Sudimak - Inter £24m


Made just over 100 appearances but was like the perfect son who raised himself into a world class player. Beats me having to play him every week but when i did he was class.




Bill Thomas - Stoke £5m


Not bad for 6 months work. Never looked top drawer so was looking to get rid. Replacing him with Fierro is just extra boost.

Perfect month in the League

Alex Butler
View attachment 356016View attachment 356017


Somehow i forgot about this during January when he hit 500 games. Alex Butler was a player i chased for 2 summers before finally getting a deal together to bring him over from the merry old land of Oz. Until a injury this time last year Butler had been a permanent fix at Right Back when Age and the emerging Luis Carrera seen Alex become a back up. This was not all bad as Butler is the only player of mine so far to have agreed to spend there post playing career as a coach at Aberdeen.

Champions League Draw

Quarter Final's
Sporting Lisbon would be a dream draw. Leverkusen would be the only other team i would be comfortable with.


Bayern Munich Vs Aberdeen


First Draw out of the hat. Bayern are always tough opposition but Aberdeen have a strong history against Bayern in my game and real life.

Again Leverkusen or Sporting would be a dream. Other two ties would be very tough


Arsenal/Barcelona Vs Bayern/Aberdeen


It a tough road to the final!

Man City were the big winners. Almost getting a bye to the final considering my record against Athletico and the two weaker teams.

Novosel missed his 1st Cup game of the year but we still made it to the final where we'll got up against our biggest domestic rivals Celtic. Unbelievably despite being the top two teams for the last 15 years its the first time in the Scottish Cup final since this!

Aberdeen 2-1 Barcelona



WERE IN THE FINAL AGAIN!

We were a different team from the 1st leg dominating the tie but only finding 1 goal and McCulloch missing chance after chance to put us ahead. That all changed in the 88th minute when he struck his 2nd goal of the night close enough to the end to shut up shop and hold out for 4 minutes and put Barcelona out again.


Man City made absolutely sure of a repeat of the 2027 final where both side will look for there 4th title in 10 seasons showing the dominance of these two teams.
