...that about sums it up. Close the c()nts down.

Here you go. http://www.2shared.com/file/TBeKYVq8/01Japan.html

You're right. At 25, he's finished, past it. Withdraw the bid immediately.

Plenty of decent players in non-league... Chris Smalling, Michael Kightly etc...

How many of the worlds bestest travelled today then?

Puncheon to curl a worldy in to win it 2-1. Yes. Yes please!

Oh man, that's ****... £15,000? I mean, with all the money from the promotions and they've swallowed it all up? That's ridiculous. I'm assuming you've asked for more money and they've given you the classic "operating at a sustainable level" line? I mean, you're not asking to do a Pompey but a little more help wouldn't go amiss, would it? FWIW, it'd be good if you could stick with it, especially if you've a new stadium on the way Well, I walked in to Gamba and immediately upset all the players at a team meeting. However, wow - we've been playing some cracking football with little result. We managed to dominate one game so much so that we had 79% of the possession and 21 shot to their 3; Needless to say, we conceded with ten minutes to go. After that, it's been pretty nip 'n' tuck. A 0-0 in my first game, a 0-1 in my second, followed by a 0-0 at the team top of the league, F Marinos. Thankfully though, the screw has started to turn but not without sacrifice. We're still in the hunt in four competitions (three of them in Cup competitions including the Asian Champions League semi's) but the squad is getting thinner by the day. It's almost as if the game cannot bring itself to accept that we're doing well so it's deliberately injured my four best players and sent off my captain. Since my first three games in charge there has almost been no stopping us; Despite a 1-0 loss (in the last minute, no-less!) to bottom Montedio, we've made the Nabisco Semi final's, Emperor's Cup Quarters and are unbeaten in the league, despite the injuries. In fact, my results in the league since the defeat to Montedio read P8 W5 D3 F12 A4. We've gone from 12th to 7th and we're now within touching distance of third place. I've made a little outlay on some Brazilian signings but they've been poor and dropped back to the reserves. Instead, I've brought in a few free transfers and concentrated on improving the bright, young 18-22 year-old's who are now flourishing and Philani Khwela, an exciting winger who has really stepped since he's got his chance. Likewise Takashi Usami - another winger with an eye for goal. Together, since they've broken into the side, they've been immovable. I'm still trying to persuade club-stalwart and Japan captain Yasuhito Endo to stay, but he's angling for a move to a bigger club and is out-of-contract at the end of the season. He's 32 so I guess he deserves his chance to play abroad so I'll probably have to let him go. Things have been going so well that we've even been selling out our ground in recent fixtures. The attendances have jumped from 12,000 to 22,000 in a matter of months... It must be the tica-taca. Osaka's been a great move since the Coventry debacle... will I come back to England though? One day, but after I've nailed Japan I might try Italy or Spain!

If this was Facebook, I'd like this comment.

LMFAO... and I won't forget "who's the ****** in the pink?"

Jaidi, defo. Only for drinks though, no funny business. It's a first date after all.

Gamba Osaka it is! That was an approach from the left-field...

So I'm out of Coventry and out of work. I've plenty of interest from Argentinian clubs so I could be hopping across the pond to train the next Carlos Tevez. Fingers crossed...

So, I'm in League One and I've moved out more of my players who were unhappy, including Joe Murphy (£200,000 Barnsley), David Bell (£350,000 Skates), Chris Hussey (free, Burton), Gary Deegan (£100,000, Reading), Richard Wood (£250,000 Crystal Palace) - as well as several free transfers due to the fact many players were unwilling to negotiate new contracts. It's goodbye to Chris Dunn, Martin Cranie, Lee Johnson, Josh Ruffels, Jonson Clarke-Harris, Will Roberts, Jordan Willis, Lewis Gardener and Courtney Richards, as well as Sammy Clingan and Cody McDonald, who were on too much money. Despite this, I've been severely hamstrung by the initial wage budget. I've been given a measly £37k per week and I'm already touching that amount despite the exodus. I held a trial day which allowed me to sign 6 younger players released by the clubs and have spent £65,000 on Argentinian forward Mariano Tripodi and that's my lot. I'm stuck. So stuck, I can't even afford free transfers. The board have practically swallowed up the huge profit they made and the £2.18m received recently and are asking me to magic a turd into a diamond. I've asked for more money, they've said no. Very frustrated. Good luck with your new game... howabout reviving Darlington?

"I just can't get enough"... something positive... something to take the simples minds off chanting about Pompey, too. Pump the crowd and it'll pump the players. The attitude of teams like Norwich and their fans is what we should aim for. That said, I'm really not sure our crowd can be engaged in that way... great idea though.

I love how he is almost tantamount to having a pop at people because they refuse to put money in. He's now distancing himself from Antonov. Squirm.

Going, going... Gone. A nil-nil draw with Derby, 2-1 defeat to Brum and a 2-3 reverse against Burnley has sealed our fate. And, what with it being sods law, Jonathan Lacourt resumed training just a day after relegation. It's time to blood the youngsters with many promoted to the senior squad now the pressure is off. Whilst some have been drafted in, a succession of unrequired players have been booted out now as I didn't want to waste any time. Eastwood, Hreidarsson, Elissalde, Jensen and Platt have been given free transfers - as has the ridiculously name Cyrus Christie, who refused to negotiate a new contract. Players I want to move on but with a re-sale value have been retained, placed in the reserves and their names circulated amongst the leagues. It's a sad time at Coventry.

Well, it's all fallen apart. A 3-3 draw with West Ham (when we were leading 3-1 with 10 minutes to go) and a season-ending injury to Jonathan Lacourt has seen the Sky Blues form rapidly deteriorate. The draw with West Ham was followed up with a good point at Leeds, a 1-0 win at home to Peterborough followed by reversals against Millwall away (2-0), Leicester home (1-2) and Reading (0-2). And just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, an injury-time Ashley Barnes goal saw Brighton sneak a 1-1 draw at the Ricoh. Travelling to Cardiff was never going to be easy but having held out until the 70th minute, two quickfire goals from Miller and Conway saw us fall to the bottom of table again - a full 6 points from safety with just six games to go. The one remaining positive is that we play teams around us over the next few games - though they are away fixtures to Doncaster and Cotterill's misfiring Forest side. Home games versus Derby, Barnsley and Burnley could decide our fate. I'm now preparing two lists of targets now, one for the Championship and one for League One. In other news, Portsmouth have been taken over by Emil Nakov, a Bulgarian "businessman". The rumour is Appleton is on borrowed time as he looks to install Stuart Gray as permanent boss. Lol.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah

Overclockers? Novatech? Possibly Dell?

Thanks S-Clarke I've always found the Bradford job an attractive one, likewise the challenge. I've fond memories of Saints' visits there, as well the slightly romantic notion that they're a big club not punching their weight in the bottom division that needs 'help'. It'll be interesting to see how far you can take Villa Meanwhile, we lost the following home game to Blackpool two nil, a game in which we were completely outplayed. In other news, I managed to finally register Nick Blackman, whilst also bringing in Daniel Jensen (free) and Danny Batth (loan) - all signed on short-term contracts til the end of the season. Outgoing, Carl Baker and Roy O'Donovan who were surplus to requirements. During an extended break because of the FA Cup I decided to work on a new formation and tactics. It's probably a risk as I've now decided to ditch my resolute, solid tactic for a new tica-taca style, reason being I want to start phasing in my own style in preparation for next season. In a relegation battle, it doesn't seem a masterstroke at all. It'll either work out OK - or end in disaster. A dour 0-0 draw at Watford would suggest there is still plenty more time required for the team to familiarise itself with it - something that we don't have as the teams around us have since opened up a 7 point gap.

The players mentioned got the abuse because everyone on TSW is perfect.

This.

Well, I'm back on the bandwagon! After some serious editing and messing around with the tables to make them more realistic, I've taken over Coventry on the 25th January (began the game then for realism) in attempt to keep them afloat and rebuild them in the Championship. After a much-needed team meeting which saw Richard Keogh speak out of turn and the whole team react badly (the general mood was 'abysmal'), I was left very concerned with the team morale as we headed into my first game. I released Keogh for his negativity and brought in several new signings, including George Friend (loan), Matt Richie (£500,000), Jonathan Lacourt (free), Lee Johnson (£50,000), Andrea Orlandi (loan), Nick Blackman (loan) and Chris Brown (loan). All of the players brought in possess the attributes we're going to need like teamwork, work rate and decision-making as I slowly mould the side into a tight-knit, solid unit. Next year, I'll create something more expansive, this year I've just got to keep the club up. They'll be a time for luxury players but that time isn't now. Despite the daunting away trip ahead, we rallied and put in an effective performance at Middlesbrough, culminating in a 1-0 win, with Lacourt bending in a worldy in the final quarter of the match. However, in my haste, I forgot to register Blackman so I've now got a dud striker just sat there for the entire season doing nothing which could have potentially been another loan signing. Anyway, I've brought in my own backroom staff (though I've retained Steve Harrison and Steve Ogrizovic) and I'm slow implementing my training, based around the core ethos of the team. That said, any good work could eventually become undone as the club is £24m in debt and teetering on the brink. Fingers crossed...

For a self-proclaimed set of passionate fans, they aren't protesting much... Just hoping someone comes in and saves them whilst deflecting the blame or plain ignoring the situation. For all Sa the faults of Saints fans, they didn't stand idly by... They protested, marched in huge numbers and raised in excess of 100,000. The difference in humility and class between the two sets of fans is incredible.
