Too bad you left Brasil, were doing quite well there (at least better than I ever did managing there)

Good luck finding a new club, where you won't feel lonely.

Well, whaddyaknow? Promoted, managerless, to the Conference South...Sluff!!! (That's Slough Town, btw :cool: )

Applied on June 20th, offered the job on June 22nd and gratefully received.

Wait a minute!!! StAyCoOL, I know that name from somewhere...

Ouch! Lot of work to do. We just got humped, I mean violated, 5-0 at home in a friendly by Plymouth

Hey iajafer, long time no see, eh?!

I've started playing the LLM ever since I can remember the LLaMas conversations on the other forum and I've been enjoying it more and more over the time.

Good luck on the Conference South, I've managed Worksop on the North and man was that hard.

Season 2009/10

I signed up for Slough Town on 80 quid a week for a year...they'd offered me 4 years...and set about the task.

Scout sent out for freebies, put vacancies in the Job Centre, mutually terminated my AssMan ( ;luciano: ) and awaited results (£0 transfer funds).

Whilst I was waiting a Scot applied for a coaching job, so I signed him up as AssMan, and I had a look at my Brasilian shortlist, asked my AssMan to have a look, and signed a couple of samba-boys, an MC and a DC.

After an appalling start, 5 friendlies, 3 losses and two draws, aggregate score of 3-17, and a league start of 5 losses on the trot, we managed to get a bit of form going and finished up a highly creditable 5th, playoff space, and went on to beat Forest Green 2-1 on aggregate and Farnborough in the final 1-0 to gain promotion.

Conference South

5th: P42, W21, D11, L10, Gf71, Ga42, Pts74 (Tamworth won the league an almighty 38 points ahead on 112, although one of their two losses was at home to us :cool: )

FA Cup: 2nd round, lost 2-1 at home to Millwall.

FA Trophy: semi-final, rudely abused by 'alifax over the two legs 7-1 on aggregate

One Internationalist, Northern Irish SC for the U-21s.

The samba-boys did well, but I fear we'll lose at least one of them over the close season.

New contract offered, £95p/w for four years, negotiated to £120p/w for a year.

Average attendance: 1323

I drive thru Sluff a lot, how in hell did you get 2 samba boys to go there?

Also I resent the implication that 3 losses and 2 draws is appalling, I do appalling much better than that

I offered them full-time contracts, thermal longjohns and several pints of guarana every day :cool:

KUTGW! :thup: Interesting to read the turn around you had after the start you had. Look forward to the next update.
