Reports are coming in fast that Celtic Manager Tony Mowbray has been sacked after only 2 days upon taking the reigns at Celtic. It's beleived that Mowbray swore at Celtic Cheif Executive Peter Lawell and threw items at him within his office. We are awaiting a statement from Celtic chairman John Reid later this evening.

###
Reports today have been confirmed Mowbray has been removed from his Celtic post with immedite effect. Celtic also moved swiftly to bring in Unknown Sunday league footballer DeanMcDonnell. Mr McDonnell already has put himself in the bad books by stating
"I'll be brutally honest i'm not going to play Barca like football, i'll play the football that wins this great club trophies."

###
6 days into his job Dean has signed Belarus internationalist Sergey Krivets and Polish striker Robert Lewandowski.

- Now i'm going to change the story more to my point of view rather than the news'.

###
As i walked into Lennoxtown gates i thought to myself,
"Wow about half of Glasgow would love to be in your position and your more nervous than excited, get a grip."
Now that i'd gathered the players and gave them a each personal talking to i sat in my office to tie up a few deals for new players as the press mentioned i'd signed Krivets & Lewandowski but i'd also signed a few others such as; Luca Antonini from Ac Milan, Sergi *Xavi2* as a few had dubbed him and finally Marco Verratti.

###
I'll make this as intresting as i can and update once a month (in game time), thanks & if anyone has any pointers please do say, encouragement goes a long way (K).
 
This Looks Sexy Ill be Sexying Along Up the Bhoys
 
Pre Season.

Pre-season time was here and it was vital we got more stronger as a team to stop Rangers 2 in a row challenge. Our first game seen us travel to Albion Rovers.
###
Albion Rovers 0 - 3 Celtic (Keane, McGowan, Krivets)
Decent result, wanted more though and we should of had alot more.

Next up was Gloria Bistrita of Romania .

On the long flight to Romania i worked on a few scribbles of tactics and found one which i was going to use.

###
Gloria Bistrita 1 - Celtic 4 (McGowan 3, Maloney)
Delighted with my new tactics results and youngster McGowan!

###
That night we raised one or two glasses to McGowan and had a small party, only 2 days later we faced U Cluj.

U Cluj 0 - Celtic 6 (Naylor, Mcgeady 2, Keane 2, Thompson)
Naylor got a belter of a freekick and i felt the team clicked in this match.

###
Next up we faced U Craiova.

U Craiova 0 - Celtic 1 (Rasmussen)
Hard fought victory, this wont be the last of these but never the less a win is a win.

To round off our tour of Romania and finish our pre-season we faced Dinamo Buc.
Also in the Uefa Champions League Plsyoff we drew Sparta Prague of Czech Republic.

Dinamo Buc 0 - 2 Celtic (Fortune, Rasmussen)
Another decent win could have been alot more had Fortune been more clinical.

###
We had an all round successful pre-season and i was chuffed that it was all wins and 16 goals scored 1 conceded showed we were more than equiped for this seasons title challenge.
 
Good luck, you bought any more players? i'd suggest getting Muniesa for your defense, Dell'Agnello/Lukaku/Yaya Sanogo/Kadlec as some attacking muscle, maybe Kiko Femenia or Ljajic for your wings. James Rodriguez is another great young AM, but Verratti may be better.
 
Cheers lads encouragement keeps me going :), nah Chaz i've got all my players till Jan atleast, i'm playing a 4-1-2-1-2, and playing a very narrow width, seems to be working so far.

Good stuff :) Also look at Kryvtsov, he's immense in the SPL. He can also play from the off. Also, the value of Caldwell and McManus goes up quickly if you play well, so they can bring in a lot of cash.
 
Can't do any worse than the last bloke. Enjoying this so far mate, keep it up.
 
###
Finally we were about to get underway i sent out my first competitive Celtic side, i was feeling excited, nervous and a very proud man, just the other day i had promised my son a decent result before me and him had flew out from Glasgow, he joined us in training and helped raised spirits of the lads.
Before the game i spent 20 minutes on the coach thinking of how to put fire in the belly of my players and read a few quotes off the internet and now had an idea of my speech which would win us this game.

Sparta Prague 0 - 4 Celtic (McGeady, Santonocito 2, Rasmussen 1)
View attachment 57350
Words couldn't describe how happy i was that night.

###
Now i felt we could relax for the home leg.
Celtic 3(Keane, O'dea, Lewandowski) - 0 Sparta Prague
7 goals in two games and no goals conceded, brillant results.

Only two days later our UCL group hopes were given a blow, we drew Arsenal, yet my sons optimism gave me a knew found drive.

###
SPL Results for August.
Aberdeen 0 - Celtic 2 (Rasmussen, O'dea)
Next up Arsenal.

View attachment 57351
Need i say more? A MASSIVE upset one of which delighted me to the extent i opened a 24 year old bottle of Scotch and massed it round my brillant squad.

Next up St Johnstone.
Celtic 6 (Keane2, Lewandowski, McGeady 2, Sergi) - St Johnstone 0.
Another result which made me a happy man, perhaps the press now knew this cat had claws (6)!

Arsenal away was next up.
Arsenal 2 (Eduardo, Van Persie) - 0 Celtic
Went down fighting and first goal was offside, bhoys did theirselfs and me proud.

Hibs away next, a very hard game.
Hibs 1 - Celtic 2 (Rasmussen, Smith O.G)
88th min og got us off the hook, still a scrappy win is still another 3 points.

Dundee utd next.
Celtic 0 - Dundee Utd 0.
Boring game lucky not too loose this one tbh, must improve in time for Europa League games.

In other news we drew Fc Twente, Zent St Petersburg & Litex.
A group we are more than capable of getting out of.

Celtic 2 (Brown, Keane (pen) - Twente 2.
Stupid Loovens gave them a 87th min pen and got himself sent off, poor poor poor result.

Next Hearts, yet another hard game.
Celtic 2 (Sergi, McGeady) - Hearts 1
Two late goals snatched an unlikely win, outplayed for 86mins.

Clyde in the league cup next up!
Clyde 0 - Celtic 4 (Thompson, Samaras, Sergi, Keane)
Easy win, could have been more.

St Mirren, last game of the month now.
St Mirren 1 - 2 Celtic (Samaras, Keane)
Sick of loosing goals in the first 5 mins, then the last 10 mins grabbing two goals, still though we're doing okay it seems.
 
Yeah i'll post my squad and tactics soon as i catch up, played on a fair bit last night and gotta catch up to myself now |), cheers everybudy for your comments :P, hope you don't mind Kris kinda stole your layout XD.
 
October

The Day before my 39th birthday was a boring, long, depressing day. Sepnt mostly on a plane and sitting in a overcrowded airport.
But my son did text me one peice of good news from home, i'd landed manager of the month for August.
I was jetlagged and was craving a coffee, also i was raging at Peter Lawell (Celtic Cheif Executive) whom decided rather than letting us travel on the Weds, he picked the same day we played.
Zenit 0 - 0 Celtic
Decent result could of should of describes the game from both sides.

Next up Ibrox and i was dreading this, although we had kept a clean sheet the last game we were poor in defence and i wanted January to hurry up!
Rangers 2(Boyd (pen), Thomson) - 2 Celtic (Lewandowski 2)
3 guesses for whom conceded the pen?
Thats right, Loovens the biggest ****** on the planet, that's what i thought as the boys came back in, we should have won and should have held on, a good last min Thomson equaliser.

Motherwell next, they were second and we needed a win to raise morale, morale of mine mostly.
Also i wanted stupid Loovens to stop his consistat fouling.
Celtic 2 (Mcgeady, Fortune) - 0 Motherwell
Due to the injury struck stirke force i started Fortune and he scored, decent performance by the team.

Next Litex, needed a win to keep hopes of finishing first in the group alive.
Celtic 4 (Sergi, Fortune 3) - Litex 0
Another Fortune performance which pleased me, decent result and put us right back in it as far as Europa league was concered.

Double away games both against Hamilton next, one in SPL other in the league cup, i felt both should be won easily a changed my side to a half Celtic sqaud.

Hamilton 0 -2 Celtic (Brown, Fortune)
Belter by Brown, pleasing result by an almost second string.

Hamilton 1 - 2 Celtic (Brown, Lewandowski)
Another good Brown goal and performance, made the side almost full side as i'm aiming for treble. The result was okay but it's when i went into the dressing room to check the Rangers score i was most pleased,
View attachment 57405
I sent a fly text to Walter saying
"Where's you treble gone mate?"
Perhaps i went too far but i was a happy man!

Next day i got word that Jimmy Calderwood had "Rubbished our tittle bid"
I responded by saying,
"Not as rubbish as your tan."
This gave me extra fire in my belly and wanted the team to destroy Kille.
Before kick off i was given a boost Brown had shrugged off his 5th injury of the season and Rasmussen was fit to play as well, hopefully they'd stay fit this time...

one final boost before kick-off Rangers drew 1-1 with Dundee Utd.
Celtic 2 (Wilson (pen), McGowan) - 0 Kille (Old sent off)
Was like pulling teeth, two offside goals and two post hits, decent defencive performance.
Pen and red card were very controversial, haha Calderwood (A)!
Last bit of news for this month,

November.

November kicked off with a Europa game away too Litex, i wanted a good win with a clean sheet and the boys did good...
View attachment 57664
exactly what i wanted and gives us a decent chance for 1st in group now.

Next up was Falkirk away.. but my attention was on other things as we made the coach trip to Falkrik, i was toying with the idea of whom a should make my main January targets, i had a few players in mind of which were;
Kryvtsov, Andrew Driver and Steven Taylor. More importantly i was stressing over loosing Scott Brown, so far he'd had a good season but when Milan came calling near the start he wanted to move.

Falkrik 1 - 4 Celtic (N'Guemo, Brown, Fortune, McNamara O.G)
Lost goal in 92nd minute, and had Boruc taken off in 89th with no subs left had to stick in O'dea. Overall decent result and nice to see N'Guemo grab a goal.

Next Dundee Utd away, a real tuff game, almost as hard as Ibrox.

Dundee Utd 1(Webster, Goodwille missed pen) - 3 Celtic (Fortune, N'Guemo, Pernis O.G.)
Delighted, hard game decent win.

too round off a short month we had St Mirren at home, i felt this should be a very easy game as they have not even won a game yet.

Celtic 4(McGeady, Fortune, Maloney, Verratti)- 0 St Mirren.
first Celtic goal for Verratti and Rangers lost 1-0 to Aberdeen putting us futher in the driving seat of the spl.

Hope yous are enjoying this so far, any pointers/questions are welcome (A).
Cheers,
P.S - Aiming to update once a day although tomorrow not so sure spending 3/4 of day with g/f so may not update tomorrow.
 
Just spelling and font so far, seems like you're writing too fast; too many to/too, would of's instead of would have's, capitalising. Use too when it's "too much, too long etc." And just bolding the words should do it for the games, the changing font can be a bit odd. Just really nit picking, but it'd make it easier to read :)

Also, i know you've said you'll show us your tactics, but could you actually do so? i like looking at how other people play teams i'm playing :)

Oh, and have you set yourself a challenge? Mine's winning the Champions League within 6 years of taking over.
 
Thats good of you Chaz to give him some tips your stories is one of the easiest to read and keep track of.
