The Kings of Prussia
“Vastly outgunned”
“A sure for relegation”
“The whipping boys”
The papers didn’t make good reading, less than 10 days after winning the 2 Bundesliga and we were expected to go back down. Bother,
I should probably explain myself here. 5 years ago, I was named manager of SC Preußen Münster, in Germany.
First season we finished fourth, on the final day, after losing to Cottbus, who finished third. I cried.

Second season, we finished third, and beat Heidenhiem in the playoff.

Third season, we finished fifteenth, and stayed up by the skin of our teeth.

Fourth season, we finished ninth, proving enough people wrong.

Fifth and last season, we finished first, winning the title on the final day. I’m not ashamed to admit I cried tears of joy.

As for me, well, former England international and Premier League player, I spent my entire career with my beloved hometown club, Ipswich Town.
Back to Münster though, with facilities akin to a P.O.W camp and a squad looking closer to a pub team than a Bundesliga team, we were off for our first season in the top flight since it began. A total gap of 56 years.
I only really had two stars to speak of in my team. One was Jorge Pereyra Díaz, an Argentine who arrived via four years in Malaysia, and the other Massimo Bruno, a Belgian outcast from RedBull Leipzig. My problem? Both wanted to leave.
Oh, and did I mention we have less money than Greece? Yeah, that’s an issue.
