Shame Frank sent you to Nuneaton, they're one of the easiest teams to manage at that level.

Nonetheless, good stuff ruckus.

Cheers Nobby - Your right about Nuneaton, however Pizzighettone is a real strggle. When i took them over we had 4 loans in. Just started the next season and have till this point been unable to get any loans in. This has left my squad very very thin and i'm playing 5 17yr olds in the first team.

Don't change your thread titles for me. You clearly have enough people reading it. I just think if you're that "blah" about the title, the thread is probaly blah as well. Wouldn't know in this case though. Well the end bit with the pizza was okay...

07/08 Pizzighetone - Serie C2/A

Fight bravely, we're skint blah blah. Sorry no money for transfers.

When I joined Pizzighetone last season I'd inherited 4 season long loans. All four were in my starting 11 and for love nor money could I attract any loans this season. I thought I was going to struggle as I was forced to play 4 or 5 17yr olds every game. The season started poorly and driffed along poorly. We managed to string a few wins together mid season and looked like an outside chance of a playoff spot but true to form we ended the season poorly.

P34 W12 D10 L12 F34 A26 Pts 46 Position 9th

2nd Rnd Serie C Cup* loose on away goals 2-2 Teriso

*I know the consensus is Cups suck arse but I really want to win the 'C' Cup . The trophy would look great on the mantle.

Notes:
I've trimmed the coaching staff...7 coaches out & 3 scouts out
5 Players in for 0
12 Players out for 2K
Cash injections left right and centre
Peterborough job offer (L2/15th)...Told them to pi$$ off. I'm building a dynasty.

08/09 Pizzighetone - Serie C2/A

Fight bravely, we're still skint, no money for transfers.

Still unable to attract any loans but they weren't required as I decided (forced) to put faith in the youngsters. A 16yr old was promoted from the U20 squad and more than held his own in the first team. We started with 3 straight losses and I thought we were in trouble. My only good scout recomended a couple of lads that had been released from clubs that turned out to be great. One scored for fun and the other held down DC for the entire season (30 straight games with and avg of 7.45). But I digress.

P34 W17 D11 L6 F43 A21 Pts 62 Position 1st!!!

Promotion was secured on the last day when top side stumbled and we won. In your face Lucchese.

Out in the group phase of the Serie C Cup.

Notes:
4 more staff out
6 players out for 19K
4 players in for 0K
More cash injections
Job offers from Northhampton (L2/6th) & Peterborough again.

Quick question...

I've managed to get promoted to Serie C1/A. At what point will my reserves start playing matches? My U20 have been playing but never my reserves.

retired_trainer

Quick answer...

No teams in Italy (even Serie A) play a reserves team. I've checked Inter, Bari, Juventus and a few others and not one of them have a reserves team playing regularly. I've checked Spain and the only teams that have reserves playing in a comp are the ones with 'B' teams.

This has totally pi$$ed me off.

<steps on to soap box>

I've been building a squad and its stupid that the players on the fringe cant get a game. The only ones I can get match fit are my U20's. The next time an English club comes calling I'm off.
