See lads, Raikan kept faith in Luuk, and look how he has repayed him!

How many MoM's did he get in that update, I lost count!

Congratulations on the Eredivise title win mate, starting to inspire me to make my own story!
 
Brilliant season boss looks like you've got the players to play as a team and now i can see why you turned the bid down for Luuk he as been in some good form.. Nice win against CSKA:P..

Congratulations on the league tittle..
 
Lol Neil's bossin' ****! Go'arn lad! I reckon you can win the CL, EZ.
 
shot guys ;) Luuk has been on fire! Sigporsson got injured for most of that update (he was also in fine form before and Luuk was coming on off the bench most games)

Dont think there is anything specifically we want to read about to be honest. Its been great so far, so keep your own ideas and go with the flow. Aslong as you dont go crazy like some stories on this site, like you been kidnapped by Aliens or some **** ... Actually... That sounds quite cool ;)
 
Well done on the title. And not a bad job on the Champions League, a good result honestly. I'm just excited for the quarter finals. :)
 
hahahaahahha, do people actually write that? lol! The only person who could get away with it is Dunc and Kin Ken :P
 
then vote Kid :P

shot bud, I honestly thought I was going to get knocked out as CSKA have a pretty **** good team!
 
Lol, some lad actually put stuff like .. (When in a press conference),, Well Mr Dowie you are a tool.. You reall do look like that thing from The Goonies. I mean come on lol. It was more like because it was serious, it ruined it, with Dunc its just a **** take from the start lol.

The red card most definately changed the dynamics as most red cards do, Eyong did apologize to me and the rest of his team mates for letting them down however it was what tilted the tie in Barca's favour, I still feel that we deserved to be in the final, but that is football"

(Board meeting)
20th May 2012

board%20room%20-%20istock_000003602213medium.jpg


Steven called a board meeting earlier this morning to discuss a few things, he firstly thanked me for doing a great job this season and the way in which I dealt with players and staff was most pleasing. We chatted about the season and how we could improve on it the following season and I told him that we needed to increase the transfer budget in order to bring in the calibre of player I would need in order to go that one step further in the Champions League (****, Eyong acted like a spoilt brat after I had fined him for his red card which cost us the final, we had a bit of a fallout that is why he is on the transfer list, plus I have McDonald Mariga coming in for free to replace him)

The rest of the board had decided to offer me a new contract which they would propose to me in a few days once they had it drawn up, I am glad they decided to keep me on, hopefully it will be lucrative and relatively long...

During the course of the meeting Steven mentioned that the club had cleared all of their debts and were operating at such a level of financial stability that my request may be granted.

The next morning I wake up, smiling from ear to ear, what a fantastic season, emails fly in from friends and family congratualting me on a successful season, as I skim through them all, reply to the ones I feel obligated too, I see an email from a Turkish address...

It seems as though Fenerbahce have sacked their coach Aykut Kocaman and they were lining up to approach me as I was their leading candidate....
