Shame you couldnt carry on - I know how that feels - if it wasnt for Aitor my Bilbao save would have ended up the same way!!!! Castel di Sangro is only lasting so long due to the fact I cant be arsed starting a new one before FM13

Stuart Pearce Sacked As England Manager

The English FA today announced the sacking of Stuart Pearce after England's shock exit in the World Cup. England crashed out after disgracefully losing 2-0 to Wales in the First Knockout Round. Brazil went on to win the competition beating Argentina 4-2 in the Final.

Southampton manager Sam Birch is widely expected to take the reigns after another hugely successful season with The Saints winning the BPL, FA Cup and Champions League with a huge 6-2 mauling of Real Madrid in the Final.

Mr Birch had this to say:

''Obviously its an honor to be considered for such a role and would love to take charge, I said after my spell with Belgium the only team I'd manage Internationally would be England. I honestly can't believe some of Stuart's decisions in the Wales game, leaving Jack Beckham on the bench was an awful shout. I know he was trying to rest him but it clearly backfired. I'd love to take charge but obviously its not up to me.''


Mr Birch has become a Southampton legend in the 7 seasons he's been there winning 4 League titles, 2 Champions League's, 5 FA Cups and 4 League Cups. He's also been widely praised for doing so with such a young squad which have now become superstars. Carlos Fierro and Filippo Bertoli are considered among the best players in the world with Bertoli winning the World Player of the Year this past January.

An announcement regarding the England job should be made withing the coming days, with Birch recently signing a new 5 year deal with Southampton on £100k a week this could be his best week ever.


On the Tweet

@Jack_Becks: Shocking lose to Wales, didn't need a rest and wanted to be out there from the start. Hope Birchy takes the reigns, he's the man for us

@WayneRooney: Disappointed to miss out the tournament through injury and to see Stuart go

@The_Ox : Shocking tournament, sorry everyone

@SBirch91 : Horrible performance by England, sad to see the National side crash out like that #ShouldHavePlayedBecks

Birch announced as England Boss

In a move that was widely expected Saints boss Sam Birch has also taken charge of the England National side. Stuart Pearce was sacked earlier this week after The Three Lions shocking World Cup in which Wales knocked them out. His first game will be against Chile in a friendly match on the 15th of August.


In other news Roberto Di Matteo resigned from Chelsea and Eden Hazard is widely expected to sign for Manchester United who also lost AVB to Barca this summer. Southampton themselves sold a few fringe players and signed 15 year old Brazilian centre mid for just over £1m.

So probably my least busy window. I was close to wrapping up a deal for Higuin but he chose Liverpool. The 2 I bought are 16 year old youngsters who are for the future. The players who left just weren't good enough or not needed.

Monthly Review


Pretty happy with the month. Disappointed with the United game but we were 2-0 down early on thanks to Welbeck being a full on badass. Glad with the start to the league as sometimes we can be a bit dodgy at the start. Bertoli is still in insane mode smashing them in as usual.

Barratt



Ex Saint Bill Barratt on his 4th game bagged his first England goal to secure me a debut win as manager. I handed Ross Barkley his International debut dropping James Milner to make room for him(Seriously Milner freaking SUCKS).​
