Objective is to win all five main continental competitions, but this time with the leading leagues in each continent, apart from Europe where the challenge will be harder. Reasons for leaving the old game (which I might continue with) are the decent but not great downloaded leagues and the fact that with the leagues I loaded, I was never going to get close to any of the Champions Leagues.

LLM rules again, but starting in the almost complete regen territory in October 2030.

Here it goes.

I was expecting to get my first job to be in the Second League of Belgium, so this is nice. Predicted to come 3rd, they've had a shit start to the season. This season for me is about staying up, then almost all of the squad have their contracts ending in the summer and the majority will leave, so that I can get the current £49k wage bill below my £19k budget.

Even great managers lose occasionally.

First win, and goal, in my third league match, although we beat a non-league side on penalties in the third round of the cup. Next stop, the Champions League.

This is more of a note to myself, but these are my January window plans:

- Sell anyone worth any money
- Don't buy anyone unless they're exceptional

[Nando]

Fuck's sake. First game that we scored more than one as well.

[Nando]

Taken this job and probably will play a couple of matches, but there isn't any African U21 tournament so this won't really help my reputation.

[Nando]

I had a quiet January by my normal standards, with only two players joining:



Starting MC.



Backup AML.

As for the outs:



I tried to get some money into the club, even if it meant getting rid of some of our better players.



If we're going down, we're doing it how I want to.

Also I resigned from that Algerian job without playing a match.

We were shit. No away win sums it up. If we went behind, we lost, the team had no balls. The blame lies with the previous manager, he gave not very good old players astronomical wages and we paid for it. The loss at RKC was massive, it was the first time we had slipt into the relegation place and we never looked like getting back out of it.

I had a tasty job offer from Olexandriya in the Ukrainian First League but the game auto-accepted an offer from Tom Tomsk in the Russian First Division that I didn't want because I've managed them in another career. I've resigned so hopefully it doesn't affect my chances of getting another job too much.

Balls mate.

Still as I say every time, I love it when a story goes shit at the start!!

Good luck for the future.

[Nando]

Every journeyman game I start ends with my first club getting relegated.

Sitting on two offers at the moment, Ethnikos Asteras in the Greek National B Division, but before the season has started, and Shanghai Dongya in the Chinese Super League, with just over half the season gone.

Great story so far, unlucky with WKE looked like you had a wank squad. What reputation did you start with? Im currently also trying to win all 5 Champions leagues, wrapped up the Asian one first with FC Seoul.

[Cupid Stunt]

Gotta be Shanghai Dongya!

Sunday League.

Korea will be my best shout for the ACL, ideally that would be my next step.

Good shout sir.



Like WKE, the aim is to stay up this season and do the rebuilding next season. The biggest problem is that we don't have a senior goalkeeper so that will have to be fixed soon.

[Nando]

Picking up where I left off.

[Nando]

We're fucked.

[Nando]

Just before the FA Cup Quarter Final Second Leg with Tianjin. Surprisingly we won 3-2 at their place but overall lost 6-4 because they were humped 4-1 at home before I joined. It was my first away win of my career though. \o/

[Nando]

Just found this, we're signing a shitload of players towards the end of July, including three keepers. It might turn out to be too late but any extra players are needed at the moment.

[Nando]

My first league win with this shower of shite, and predictably it's against the only team I have beaten. I'd stil put money on us going down though.

[Nando]

This time, our home form fucked us over. After I took over, we were out of the bottom two for one match, but overall, we were crap. Again, I blame the previous lot, I didn't have the opportunity to make the squad into my own and the current squad was shite. Plus I wasn't really enjoying China anyway.

I took a job offer from the Aussie U19s but resigned without playing a match, and I'm going to stay away from youth management for ever now. Also I rejected an offer from RBC in the Jupiler League, who had only nine senior players, but the game accepted and I had to resign quickly.

But I do now have a new job...
