Aye, been to 2 Euros and a World Cup - and qualified for the next Euros as well. Absolutely spoiled.

Aye, made it through to the second round of the Euro's both times and lost immediately (to Turkey and Italy). Went out in the groups at the World Cup though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 Spoiler Brentford FC. The only other jobs that have come up since the start of the season were Everton and Wolves, who were both ruled out, and I'm impatient, so here we are. This is their 4th consecutive season at this level, finishing 16th, 16th and 17th in the previous 3. They've basically been a yo-yo team between the top 2 tiers for the whole save,, so a bit of a project but no more than any of the others teams I've had. 16th is the best they've ever done though. Anyway, the current league table looks like this... Solid in midtable as it stands. We're expected to avoid a relegation battle, so need to keep up form as it's been going prior to my arrival really. And the league winners during the league have been... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you add it 5th it only takes their tally up to 10 I was hoping when he won it with Livvy it would be with Sevco in 2nd. What a beautiful way to continue the banter years: they finally finish ahead of Celtic but it's still in 2nd place 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 Meet the Squad 3 and a half stars is "Decent player for the EPL", 3 is "Leading player for the Championship" 2 good options up front, and an alright back up - will need to upgrade these later, but happy for the time being. Jamal wants to leave, which is a bit of a pain, but we'll see what happens. Good options on right wing, decent enough, if unconvincing, options on left wing and frankly not good enough at attacking midfield - that'll be my first priority when January comes. One good and one alright centre midfielder, and not much else. Inexplicably, the last manager let my 3rd best centre mid go on loan to Hamilton, despite the fact that he's 25, so not likely to improve, and they're paying less than half his wage. They've done the same thing with my 3rd and 4th centre backs! Both away on loan, despite being 26 and 28 respectively. Absolute nonsense. My options here are mostly ok, but there's a severe lack of depth. This is fine - one good keeper, and a back up who's bad enough that he won't moan about wanting to play, but acceptable enough that he shouldn't be a calamity if I actually have to play him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 December 2039/40 Results going as expected, so far. Good win against Hull on my first day in the job. Still where we were when I joined. That's fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 January Transfers - 2039/40 Don't normally bother doing a proper update in January, but I've actually signed more than one player for a change, and had a few outgoings, so thought I would. Outgoings first. Radonjic wasn't good enough so punted, Hanson wanted away and was being a wee dick about it, and Jardel complained when I rejected Guangzhou's initial bid so let him leave. They've more than doubled his wages, so fair enough really. Hamilton is shite but good luck to him, Koutsagias might turn out ok, hopefully the loan does him good. Now the new boys... Yes, I paid 32 million pounds to Inverness Caley. Apparently that's the record fee paid by Brentford, although it's not all up front. David Campbell is an 18 year old striker from Perth, and he's outrageously good. Scored 17 goals in his first season as a first team player for Caley in the Premiership, and also got a hattrick on his Scotland debut (admittedly against Malta). Listed as a wonderkid, so hopefully he develops into a properly amazing striker and I can keep him. Spoiler Other signing was Antonio Trigo, a central midfielder, who can also fill in at centre back. He looks pretty good. I probably paid slightly over the odds, but he should do a job. Spoiler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 January 2039/40 Beat the 3 teams below the European spots, and lost to the 3 in it. Also drew with Arsenal in the FA Cup - they're basically a mid table side just now (came 11th last season) so that was a shame. I expect we'll lose the replay. Moved up one spot in the league. Getting near the 40 point mark, which would be ideal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 February 2039/40 Mixed month - out the cup, but won the league game that mattered and got a good draw with Man United. 13 points above the relegation spots, which is handy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 March 2039/40 Wolves have a guy who's won world player of the year twice up front, so not overly fussed losing to them. Should have beaten Leicester, but a good win over Arsenal made up for it. Really clicked in that game, which was great. Very close to being safe now. Just want to finish as high up the table as possible,. Spain Couple of friendlies, some good wins. Gave one of my Brentford players some caps due to injury, and he popped up with 2 goals. Some guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 May 2039/40 Couple of good wins to end the season. Don't really mean much since we were already safe, but still. 13th place. Highest finish ever for Brentford, which is nice. Next up, the European Championships with Spain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
