A recent comment from Mr Malcolm’s (excellent) review of Division 2 teams regarding squad depth made me think about my squad and so I decided to share my thinking on squad depth and coverage that I have developed over the last two seasons at Die Wolfe. In Top100 – like several of my other game…

Bayern Munich have sold Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid in exchange for Gareth Bale and Breel Embolo.Ronaldo, who scored 73 goals and assisted 74 goals in 130 games, moved to the Spanish capital last week. The move to Madrid takes him closer to his lover Philipp Lahm. “I hope you all can understand why I made…

With Season 4 still fresh in the memory, it has not taken long for Season 5 to come along. I was sure that there used to be a longer break between the end of one season and the start of the other but I may be wrong. Anyway, Division 1 will no doubt run in…

With Season 4 finished it won’t take long for Season 5 to come racing along. For a few it means a new team, a new target and getting used to new players. As always, the excitement builds as the fixture list is published and everyone has dreams of winning their division. Once again I will…

VS After last night’s 1-3 win over Aston Villa, The Fannybashers are now safe from relegation. Honda set up Yilmaz on 2 minutes who unleashed a rocket of a shot over the goalkeeper, bagging his 23rd goal of the season. Yilmaz is the leading scorer this year and its unlikely he will be caught. The…

This season will be one to forget for Bruin, as he was, at the very least expected to finish in the play-off places by his own targets set at the start of the season… Instead he and the fannybashers have had their own fanny’s bashed on several separate occasions, resulting in battling relegation for the…

On Saturday morning 28th of January, the Fenerbahce manager issued an ultimatum to his players “if you don’t pull your weight you are out the door”. That seemed to do the job as they beat A.S Roma 1-0 on Sunday. After their next result it seemed the players didn’t think that Bruin would go ahead…

            VS  Fenerbahce travel to Germany tonight to face Mr. Noisy’s, Leverkusen. Both teams have won their last two games, so each side will be hoping to add a third. If Fenerbahce win they could climb up to 8th, which is just outside the Playoff positions, they already sit four points…

Or, why I became a soccer manager. Not Top 100, SM or even football-related. Three years out of date. Depending on the success or otherwise of this last stab at pop stardom, I will be resigning from my post as Hamburg boss in the New Year, to focus – Pablo/Dani Osvaldo-style – on my musical…

Just wanted to send a Christmas greeting from New Zealand to all the managers in Top 100. And as we’ll be spending the next two weeks at the beach contending with sand and sunburn I thought I’d share this view of New Zealand Christmas courtesy of Air New Zealand. I hope you enjoy 😀 Link…
