Not really a football pun there but a brief description of what is happening. Kind of. A Great season, even in Europe we likely overachieved by making it through our group. But it could have been better. We turned off in the league, we didn't even change the team around much. We just strolled through … Continue reading It Is Beginning to KICK-OFF →

I am really enjoying myself as manager of Club Brugge. We cantered through this season and somehow dominated the first half of the season while still conceding goals regularly. We have added some consistency at the back once we added Kevin Trapp, who is becoming a real steal having been signed for 1.6 million pounds. … Continue reading Low Standards →

We valiantly fought Arsenal to try and progress past the first knockout round but we couldn't overcome the first leg. It would have been huge for us and when we were 2-1 up, it was so tempting to try and contain but I still think they would have pushed forward and opened us up for … Continue reading The Home Stretch →

The transfer window arrives. We get our Brazilians in and offload a few players too. I then bring in Kevin Trapp to be first choice goalie and improve our clean sheet record. I also reinforce the Right back position with a club record fee, to be fair he isn't an amazing player but he is … Continue reading January Transfer Window →

I have made some, if I do say so myself, astute signings for the opening of the January transfer window. We have two more Brazilians joining the team. Both young with high potential but can play a part of our first team right now. BANGUELE Joining for the measly fee of £400,000,he covers multiple positions … Continue reading Injection →

This is when you really get to know your team. No distractions, normal life takes a back seat. I'm happy to say we have started the season well … kind of. So we have not been keeping many clean sheets. In the league we have one. We won our first game in the champions league … Continue reading Late Night FM →

So unprecedented success in landing a big job in Belgium, before the end of the season (after winning promotion to that very same division) and somehow walking away with the Title (after managing 7 games I think). So where do I start. This team is good. They were underperforming, hugely, they had hit a slide … Continue reading 2019/2020 Season Start →

No words needed.

Lets take a quick look at the former managers run-in. Why did I get this job? Well during my interview it was pointed out that the previous manager had a poor relationship with the fans. That has to play a big part. OH GOD! MY EYES! That is awful, terrible form. No wonder the fans … Continue reading Two for One →

I have been hurt again by a lack of planning, I thought I had the summer to build a squad, I don't. We need time to get the tactic learnt, we have no time. We play Anderlecht on the 28th of April 2019, I was appointed manager on the 27th of April 2019. We line-up … Continue reading First Game →
