Ok I have been at this save for a little bit of time now so I have decided to write it up for a bit of fun, Firstly I simmed the first season and began in season 2, I looked at the clubs without jobs and took over Celta Vigo which I felt was a decent challenge to attempt to overcome the big clubs in Spain such as Barca, Madrid(s) etc..
Currently I am in the year 2019, I plan to do yearly or 6 monthly updates on this so the save won't be held up with having to write updates and play the game. There are no rules, I have started at Celta and will just decide on my future based on how the saves going and how I'm feeling personally at the time, So here goes...

Chapter 1 - Changing the swing of LA LIGA

REAL CLUB CELTA DE VIGO
One Season has gone by and I have been successful in collecting my coaching badges, I was never capped by my country, Infact was never exactly a huge success as a player however I always felt more of a manager than a player and now is my chance to prove it. I live out in Spain and learned my trade in the Spanish game also learning several languages such as Italian, German and of course Spanish. I had built up a few contacts one of which was a member of the Celta Vigo board and the vacancy for manager became on my radar, I had never worked this high up before but I sold myself as best as I could to the other board members & my friend also vouched for me which I think made it easier for me.
So the job was mine! A team who finished 9th in LIGA BBVA have hired me an unknown scottish manager with no experience in managing at this level, (Thanks to my friend) So I have a 1 year deal to seal my fate, Failure or Success!
The Transfers
Instantly the pressure was on me as my phone was indated with messages and phone calls regarding my players, Many people would question my decisions however money talks, Fontas, Orellana & Mallo joined Man City for a combined fee of 58.75 million, Daniel Wass went to Chelsea for 20million, Radoja to Porto for 19.5mil & Nolito to Roma for 17.5mil, Overall 145 Million Pounds was brought into the club through player sales!
96 Million was put back out over the course of the season £32 of that being a panic buy and a regret/mistake on signing Max Kruse for 32 Million a stupid fee (6 months later I made 15 of that back selling him on) Juan Iturbe joined and was a revelation for 10 Million and later moved to Madrid for his release clause of 26.5million, Kranevitter joined for 8 Million & Sold for 16.75mil, Bruno Peres Bought for 6 sold for 20! Milik signed for 8.25mil, Scored 22 goals then sold for release clause of 22million to Spurs. (Transfers over the course of 2 seasons) Total In: £219.75 Million - Out: £134.09 Million (Profit of £85.66million)

The Tables.
So if you've read above I obviously kept my job due to buying and selling, Season 1 was a mini success finishing 5th in the table and into Europe, Devastating missing out on a Champions league spot by 1 point however a great start earning me a contract until 2019. A 3-0 victory over Barcelona is one I will never forget especially when they won the league that season! Season 2 was a HUGE success as we battled hard until gameweek 35 when we slipped up and allowed Atletico to win the league, Yes win the league! We managed to overcome giants Barcelona & Real Madrid & Finish 2nd in the league a highest ever for Celta who have only ever finished 4th before, 3 points behind winners Atletico we enter the Champions League group stages!

Celta finished 9th in the league before I took over, So 5th place and 2nd place is a big improvement.
Tough Times
Things have seemed smooth over the 1st two seasons, Obviously there have been hiccups and issues although the biggest one came this season, 2nd place & in the Champions League the budget was 6million something I felt pretty poor, Big clubs where snatching my players through release clauses as 4 players leave for £20 Million +, Although this gave me alot of money in the transfer window it was frustrating to have built a great team to lose key players! I was seriously on the verge of quitting, West Ham gave me an interview although unsuccessful, Croatia offered me a job which I turned down, I spoke to friends & family who convinced me to at least see out my contract at the club which I will honour! I have replaced the outgoing players, Lozano Signed for FREE last season and sold for 26.5million, Juan Iturbe sold for 26.5Mil, Milik for 22 & Peres for 20. In total 102 Million was brought in once again generating a huge profit through transfers for the club, The board are in the process of purchasing the stadium which will take a toll on funds and decisions will need to be made this season as to whether I continue in my job or look for a new venture however in the mean time lets crack on

SEASON 3 - IS THIS THE END ?
So season 3 begins with many decisions to be made, A smaller squad and my time now split! After all the decisions about leaving and in the end deciding to stay I needed something to take my focus away from the club at times and after the world cup which COSTA RICA WON, I decided to apply for the Netherlands job in which I was successful in, Another challenge in my career and a strange one as a Scotsman however I am ready for the task although I have been heavily questioned in whether I can do both, I believe I can and we shall find out.
