2010-2011 Belgian Div2 - Geel Board & fans: Rebuild the team.
Media: 11th.
The pundits all have us down as middle of the table finishers again, but we set out to prove them wrong. During the first half of the season we find good form, the team gels well. We top the table by the end of January, and win the second period playoff place.
With the board wanting the team rebuilt, the scouts are sent cracking, and 5 new signings are made. However, my eyes are on our under-19
squad (who win their 4th consecutive U19s Group 2 title!). In particular, a young striker who scores 66 goals in 53 appearances for the U19s. He's drafted into the first team late in the season, and marks his debut with a hat-trick.
As the season draws to a close, we're still top, 4 points ahead of Tongeren, and have 2 games left. Tongeren slip up, and with one game remaining, we seal the title at home. The dream is achieved, the party starts, and we're back in the top flight for the first time since the 1999/2000 season.
The board are absolutely thrilled, and offer me a new 4 year contract, which I accept. In my mind though, I think I only have 1 more season left with the club...But who knows?!
