2010-2011

I ended up leaving Sant Andreu (Suprise Suprise?). I didn't really want to, but I got about halfway through the season, rock bottom and it seemed like nothing I did worked. I tried dropping players, new tactics, new instructions, everything.

It's a shame, because I don't know why the team underperformed so much. Away from home was our biggest problem, but it was a bit too much for this poor little English manager who had been crying out to have a proper run in the Conference regionals for 4 years.

Applied for a load of jobs, and I ended up going with AFC Wimbledon. I was a bit aprehensive at first that the game may be swung in their favour, but after seeing their position and my first 3 games, everything was back to normal.

We were in the relegation zone and needed to achieve a respectable league position. We had a bit of a transfer kitty, so I sent my scouts out and ended up signing a few backup players.

The one thing I did find funny was one player in the team can play in every position which I haven't seen since an ex bolton/blackburn utility man was in the game.

Another funny note to add. I put up a job add for a GK coach and lo and behind at 50 years old and probably 50 stone, the Original fat goalie had applied. Being the typical greedy bastard he was, he wanted double what I could afford so I couldn't offer him a contract.

So, I finally got a decent tactic together with Wimbledon and we had a late surge at the end of the season to finish 14th. The board will just have to be happy with that.

So roll on next season. I hope I am able to stay here for a few more years, it's about time I stopped whoring.

I am hoping with the patch it will get a little bit better!

There was a Swedish guy - ex- of Sheffield Wednesday, Everton and probably a few other teams - who held that badge of honour a few seasons back. A legend in his CM time.

2011-2012

So I patched up FM but it didn't seem to make much of a difference. We were still crap and I ended up leaving in March after we were sitting 19th in the league without much hope.

I didn't really feel it with AFC Wimble.

We made it to the 1st round of the FA cup and got smashed 4-0 by Burnley away and that is about the only achievement that stood out.

So I left and got the Dumbarton job with 4 games to go. I really wanted a job in Scotland so I am very happy, plus I like the colours. We were 10th and the board wanted us to gain promotion, oh well.

I played the 4 remianing games drawing 1, losing 3 and finishing bottom.

We have a good crop of players, especially up front so I am hoping we make a bit of a move in the league, but I doubt it with me at the helm.

Oh and my repuation has now changed from Unproven to National, god knows why.

2012-2013

Well we done a little better than we did last year. As usual we started off the season crap and going out of all the cup competitions.

With financial security, I decided to sign a few of the players my scout had found, including a decent RM and CM which we desperately needed.

The midfield and central defence was terrible, so I bulked it up a little.

I think this is probably a coincidence, but I had 4 players out this season, three with broken legs and the other with cruciate ligament damage, all in my first team.

GK, LM, CM, ST

Nevermind, the season is over and we ended up 5th just one out the playoff places.

I obviously am pushing for promotion next season and have just renewed a few contracts and signed a few players to hopefully do that. I am quite concerned that we have two decent strikers but we don't seem to score that much or ever more than 2 goals.

Anyway we ended up finishing the season on a 6 match unbeaten wrong, so I can't complain.

I quite enjoyed this season in Scotland. I think I have only ever managed in this country twice and one was in a clan game if I remember rightly, it's very enjoyable.

See you next year.
