[b]Season 2016/17, League Two & ]STRIKE]Wales[/STRIKE] Ireland

Ireland approached me immediatly after the 2016 Euro Cup. Decided to accept the offer. I have to bring them to the 2018 World Cup, facing Belarus, Holland, Romania, Finland and San Marino (they drew 1-1 to Holland in their 1st game :eek: ). Currently 1st in the group with 8 points from 4 games.

Harrogate.. Well, League Two was easy We never went outside the play-off spots. Lowest position was 5th. After 24 games we claimed first place, after 45 games we were champions It took me 5 seasons to get out of the Conference and now we do a back to back?

Bought: 7 (475k)
Sold: 11 (4,3 million)

League: P46, W23 D17 L6 F87 A40 86pts 1st

Excellent read! KUTGW.

Season 2017/2018, League One & Ireland

Omg.
Promoted again. Lost the title in the last 4 games, but didn't have much trouble to secure promotion. Selling my better players (5 gone, 5,75 million income) and splashing cash on 11 newbies (3,2 million) helpt us to secure promotion. Can't wait to see how a Championshipside manage to make enough money in their 3800 capicity stadium.

League: P46, W27 D13 L6 F97 A53 94pts 2nd
League Cup: 1st round, Sheff. Wed. 3-2 Harrogate
LDV Suck Arse: Winner, Harrogate p0-0 Wolves
FA Cup: 5th round: Sheff. Utd (CH) 4-1 Harrogate

Ireland:
We made it to the World Cup. Finished 2nd in our uqalifying group, partly after a embarassing 1-1 draw against San Marino :eek:
Had to play a playoff for the WC against Normay, drew 3-3 away, won 6-1 at home.

WC update comes as soon as I played the World Cup

World Cup 2018

Group C:
Ecuador
Ireland
South Korea
Spain

Spain 1-1 Ireland (good result for the Irish, Spain is candidate to win the WC)
Ireland 5-0 South Korea (good for the goaldifference)
Ecuador 0-2 Ireland (another confident game)

So won the group with ease. Spain finished 2nd with 3 draws, Ecuador got 2 points and Korea finished on 2 points as well.

The Second Round saw Ireland facing Wales, the country I left to become Ireland manager since Wales lost healily when I was managing them. I assumed we'd had a walkover and already concentrated on the quarter final in wich we would have faced England.

Well, Wales stroke lucky My strikers didn't remeber what a ball looked like, a defender was being very nice to the Welsh (matchrating of 4 after 30 minutes) and the rest was clueless on the pitch.
Short story, we lost 1-3 and I resigned immediatly after the game thinking I was about to be fired after all.

The Irish FA approached me a week later to reconsider my resignation. I did, so I'm still the Ireland manager.

Season 2018/19, Championship and <STRIKE>Ireland</STRIKE>

Left Ireland again, this time I didn't came back.

Honestly... It must be a flaw in the game.
I didn't sign any new players and still we'd had no problem whatsoever to keep us in the promotionspots all season. Got rid of 13 deadwoods wich made me a "cool" 44,000 euro.

Board offered me a new contract and finally they decided it was time to upgrade the stadium. If they didn't agree I would have made an ultimatum.
Cupwise we did well. Reached the QF of the League Cup were we faced ManUre away (1,8 million income) and had just 2 games in the FA Cup, both home.

League: P46, W24 D11 L11 F98 A58 83pts 2nd
League Cup: QF, Manure 1-0 Harrogate
FA Cup: 4th round, Harrogate 1-2 Southampton (544!!!! attendances...)

Season 2019/2020, Premier League

Keeping us up was out prior work, scouts found a good couple of players. Brought in 5 new faces in the summer, 3 new defenders in the winter when we were struggling a bit. Spended 10,5m on transfers. 11 Players left, bringing in a wealthy 7m.
Surviving was kind of easy, started good, dropped away before christmas but picked up again after january. Grabbed 14th place and holded on there for a while untill the last couple of matches in wich we trashed Arsenal 4-2 and hammered ManUre 5-1. Couple of other good wins, a sneaky draw and we finished in a shocking 9th place, high enough to get us into the Euro Vase Cup :eek:

Stadium got expanded to 5700 (2350 seats).

League: P38, W15 D7 L16 F71 A64 52pts, 9th
League Cup: QF, Cardiff 3-1 Harrogate
FA Cup: 4th Round: Harrogate 0-1 Middlesbrough, replay
