Not had Hornby in any of my teams but he's a tricky opponent in my game as well. Hearts and Scotland international in 2024/25. And yeah...10th tier to L1 in four seasons. Wow.
Congrats on the title, much deserved! Early aims for next season? Will you stay with Coventry or look to advance yourself? Or will that depend on the financial state of the club?
Thanks mate! So right now, I'm thinking mid table with Coventry in League One. I'm not going to make the same mistake I did at Chelmsford and apply to any jobs as it seems to completely upset the team/atmosphere around the club. But if anyone comes in for me and its the right job then I could be tempted to move on, only because Coventry's financial situation is so poor. They can't even send me on a coaching course to develop myself as they are constantly in the red. However, to move, the club would need to meet certain criteria....they'd have to be a bigger club than or at least on par with Coventry (I mean although we are only League Two/One, we are still a pretty big club), they would need to be higher up the leagues as I wouldn't move to another League One club now, and I'd look to see that their financial status was 'secure'. At the end of this season, the lower regional leagues in England will be removed from my game and I'm adding in Belgium, Holland and Portugal so that could even present opportunities to go manage in a different country.
What about Scotland? Heading north of the border is usually tasty, albeit you have to play all your rivals three or four times in a season.
Just caught up on the last few days, You made League 2 look easy, The new formation seems to be working a treat and with the right players I think the top half finish could be achievable! Although id put my money on you finishing in the play offs Good luck!
Top half of the table? Well the board don't lack ambition certainly. See what happens.
Maybe the board will invest a little more to give you a better chance of attaining your top half finish. Now if you'll excuse me i'm just off to catch that pig that's flying past the window

Looking forward to seeing how the start of the season goes, even with finances that make you a prime candidate to get help from Oxfam, Coventry are a big side and expectations are high! I'm sure you'll be able to handle the pressure, just gotta keep doing what your doing!
