I know, just read Pete's epic. Must say it inspired me: after a good start, haven't won a game since I read it

Season 2008/2009

FC Kharkiv

Started the season as expected, hovering around the relegation spots, but an great end of season spurt of form saw us climb up to 7th! :eek:

| Pos | Inf | Team | ---- | Pl | Wn | Dr | L | For | Ag | G.D. | Pts |
| 7th | ---- | FC Kharkiv | 30 | 13 | 5 | 12 | 40 | 37 | +3 | 44 |

Signed 12 players, 9 went straight to the 1st XI, 2 were good subs, and a youth player. A 14k striker scored 10 in 12 starts, and a 2k right back was twice player of the week.

Offloaded 8 deadwoods, and 1 quality youth, for a total of 130k.

New Zealand

Got absolutely hammered in the Confederations Cup, while 2 players retired in the middle of the cup :eek:

It's not so much as they retired as they went AWOL because of your bad management...

Season 2009/2010

<STRIKE>FC Kharkiv</STRIKE> Heracles

Started the season badly, but not in the relegation zone. Got 2 joboffers, VVV and Hercles. I chose the former because VVV had absolutely no money.

Heracles were 15th in the Dutch First League when I became manager, and I managed to take them to a 12th place finish. To do this I signed 12 players (2M €), mostly ones who had played for me before, to see what I could make of it, better than the crap the team was they were already. Still, the transfer window ended without me having a decent striker, therefore having to rely on a NZ/South African youngster, who wasn't that relyable offloaded 4 players, for 1.7 M €.

Season 2010/2011

Heracles

Strengthened the team by bringing in 17 players (mostly east-european ones), including an Italian striker who scored 5 against me last season, for a total of 875k €. Sold 15 players, moslt deadwood, for a total of 2,6M €.

Had a great season, ended 2nd on 1 point from the first, so got in the playoffs. Here I finished second in my group, because of drawing a match I could have won easily :x

Italian striker scored 31 league goals, being topscorer and player of the season. Brazilian MC was Golden Boot (January award).

League: P38 W24 D6 L8 GD+35 P78

Playoff Group B: P6 W2 D3 L1 GD+4 P9
