Fight bravely, and in a surprise and bold move the board gave me a transfer budget of 550K :eek:
All right I'll spend the money. I really have little faith in my defence so the majority of the funds was spent in that area. And a fat lot of good it did. A new Pizzeghettone record of 16 games without a win was secured before christmas and my new defenders dislike me because I've critisised all of them for poor performance. My young guns development has stalled, my strikers couldnt score in a brothel and the season has gone t**s up. On a good note the board are absolutely thrilled with the level of commitment I continue ti show the club.
P42 W9 D11 L22 F33 A54 Pts 38 Position 20th
Relegated. :thdn:
Cups suck.
Notes:
9 players in 525K (moaning donkeys the lot of 'em)
6 players out 38K
7 Staff out
I've taken time off work to watch the World Cup so I'm flying through the seasons at the moment, although I must admit it was difficult to look at my Pizzeghettone players this morning without cursing their theatrics in the 18 yard box.
2013/14 - Pizzeghettone - Serie C1/A
Respectable league position and 80K transfer budget.
Back in Serie C1/A after 3 seasons in Serie B but this time I was determined to bounce straight back up. To compare the squad to that of 09/10 is like chalk and cheese. The young guns are now firmly established and last years transfers would hopefully pull their heads in. And so they did. We sat atop the league until 3 games from seasons end where we droped points we really shouldn't have and ended up in a playoff against Piacenza which we won 3-0. Serie B here we come (again).
P36 W19 D13 L4 F45 A12 Pts 70 Position 2nd
Promoted (via playoff) :thup:
Italian Cup sucks but semi's in the C Cup (thats got a nice ring to it )
Notes:
0 players in
6 players out 550K (2 of which "wanted to play for bigger clubs" and ended up at Pro Vasto Serie C2/B, fools.)
Staff 4 in & 2 out
The season started well and after 9 games we sat in 10th spot with 3 wins 4 draws & 3 losses. I was offered the Torino job and thought about it for a while. Then jumped. I had been at Pizzeghettone for 7 seasons and felt i had done all i could do. Torino were sitting last with zero wins and only 3 points from their 3 draws. My mission was to get Torino back into Serie A and fill the 60 odd thousand stadium and bring glory back to the proud club.
Wrong.
Massively in debt, with utterly rubbish players this was going to be tough. The receivers were brought in and they went about selling my only good players, the remaining drivel were out of their league and we never won another game for the rest of the season. After the last game a new board were installed - a ray of hope i thought. Wrong again. Sacked!
I have been approached by Derby (League 1), My Italian has improved and I've got a tan now so i think i'll hit the high spots near Pride Park.
Notes:
2969 days at Pizzeghettone (I'm in the favoured personnel :thup
181 days at Torino :thdn:
