I started with my favourite team Rangers as usual and finished the first two seasons as runners up in the SPL to Celtic. In the third season I finally managed to bring the SPL home to Ibrox.

In those three seasons I also won the League Cup for the first two seasons, and the Scottish Cup three times in a row, but didn't really make any real progress in Europe.

A few months into my fourth season, the Aberdeen job became available and for a laugh I applied for it. I got the job but had no intention of saving my game, I just planned to mess about then reload the game up, but... I forgot about the autosave function, and my Rangers save game was written over, so I was stuck with Aberdeen.

When I took over Aberdeen, they were 10th in the SPL and had a team of no hopers, by the end of the season I had secured a top six finish, my lowest league position to date but not bad considering the position I started off in.

I set about getting rid of the deadwood at the club and bringing in my own men. There wasn't a lot of money available but I managed to bring in some decent bosmans including Brahim Hemdani and Filip Sebo from Rangers, and Shunsuke Nakamura from Celtic.

I took my team too SPL title glory the next season, and as it stands, I have won THREE SPL titles in a row. I have also won with Aberdeen - 1 league cup and 1 scottish cup, as well as the UEFA Cup and the European Super Cup.

I have unlocked the sugar daddy, this was achieved upon winning my tenth piece of silverware. I have completely transformed the Aberdeen teamm there is NO surviving members of the team that was there when I took over, about 30 something players have been sold or released in my four seasons at Pittodrie.

There is still three or four of my first signings for the club at the team, including Brahim Hemdani and Filip Sebo. I have a couple of Scotland's best players at the club including Scott Brown and Calum Elliot.

I have mainly signed bosman players, I have found some fantastic regens, mainly from France and Spain. My first team has SEVEN Spaniards, including three with the surname Fernandez. I sign about 3, 4 or 5 bosmans per season and sell old bosmans off for a profit.

I was given the job of France manager at the start of my third season with Aberdeen (2011/12), I was offered the French and Italian job at same time and opted for France, I'm currently top of my World Cup Qualifying group, five points clear with two games to play. My group contains Turkey, Norway, Belarus, Georgia and Liechtenstein.

<b>My manager stats at this moment in time are:</b>

Games played - 410
Games won - 270 (65.9%)
Games drawn - 75 (18.3%)
Games lost - 65 (15.9%)

I'll tell you my Melbourne Victory adventure.

Ben Psaila started off as manager of Melbourne Victory in June 2006. He brought in the likes of Lindsay Wilson, Vladimir But, Fabio Pinto and Rodrigo Gral, he won the Australian Cup and came 2nd in the League. The following season, a star was born. After Archie Thompson's retirement, Melburne needed a new super striker. His name was Darren Wood, a 15 year-old Australian who came through the ranks at Melbourne Victory, and with him came David Jackson, a 16 year old hardman defender, who went on to captain Australia and Melbourne. Psaila's second season in charge saw him again win the Australian Cup, but fail in the League once more.

In 2009, along came the stars from Europe, Mario Mancini, Paul Moore and Alexandr Savic. But one player stood out. His name was Javier Ramirez, a 21 year old Argentinian striker signed from Boca Juniors on a free transfer. He lead Melbourne Victory to 18 consecutive league titles and 5 consecutive Asian Champions league's, winning two World Player of the Year awards on the way.

Psaila opted for a different adventure when he took charge of Australia in 2009 and with the likes of Darren Wood, Matt Jackson and David Jackson all coming through well in the Melbourne Victory team, he searched around Europe and found some of the best Australian talent ever. The likes of Thierry Atanga and Mohammed Guaye. These players and others lead Australia to 3rd place in the 2014 World Cup and the World Cup winners 2018. They also won a number of other cups like the Asian Cup, which was relitively easy for this Australia side.

Over the years, the talent of David Jackson grew injury prone, along with Darren Wood, but Darren was as prolific as ever, and reacher around 70 caps for Australia. David Jackson's form went down and down after the injuries, forcing him to retire and Javier Ramirez to take over as captain.

Psaila's Melbourne Victory career came to an end when the save game got corrupted, and Psaila died in this corruption. He will be remembered as Melbourne Victory and Australia's greatest ever manager.
