hi. i had begun managing west ham utd. usual transfer spec's before season started, offloaded lucas neil for a kool $18.5m (australian dollars). sold off few fringe players e.g Davenport, Solano, Dailly, and bought the equivalent trying to strengthen defence. Lot of players i wanted didnt want sign, but i tried to get a good crop of potentials, and at the end of it still had $15m budget left and was within wage. Darijo Srna, Aaron Ramsay (loan), Armand Traore, Antonio Valencia, Dean Bouzanis (loan), 2 x Brazilian youth players (loan), Asmir Begovic (gk). Usual starting lineup was in 4-3-3, would tighten up against stronger teams. Green, Srna, Ferdinand, Spector, Traore, Parker, Dyer, Valencia, Faubert, Ashton, Bellamy. Faubert + Bellamy running off Ashton seemed exciting prospect. No no no. First 13 games in the league, Won 2 Draw 3 Lost 8. Poor goal diffrence, last game lost 4-0 to Spurs and this last game led to my sacking. Harsh as i only received 1 poor word from the board beforehand. I would like to start again, but not sure what to do? Go to the Championship and try again with a diff team? Switch countries and try diff league? Go West Ham again and try my luck once more? I tried to concentrate on training/fitness for injured players, rotate occasionally, pre-match tactics and all, but still no luck. Any suggestions would be helpful and appreciated as i love the game, but was just another managerial casualty! All the best
