Season 11-12 Tonbridge Angels - Blue Square South
After a short job search that involved getting offers from amateur German teams, Tonbridge Angels seemed to be my salvation... Or at least until I saw exactly what I'd gotten into... Not enough players to raise a team & no budget. I stuck it out for exactly 28 days and 3 friendly defeats (1-3, 0-5 and 2-8), before deciding that the dole was a better option!
Resigned
Fortunately I wasn't there long before I got picked up by the mighty Bromley
<b>Season 10-11 BFC Turkiyemispor - German Regional Division North</b>
Expectation : Stay Clear of Relegation
Transfer Budget : 0
Wage Budget : 4.3K
Players In : 3 (0K) + 4 Loan
Players Out : 8 (85K)
Season Summary
League : 7th P42 W17 D9 L16 F74 A65 GD +9 Pts 60
Cups : FA Cup 2nd Qual Rd, FA Trophy 3rd Qual Roud, Setanta Shield 3rd Round (South)
High Point : A formidable strike partnership of a home-grown talent + a loanee just banging them in for fun, and getting themselves nominated for player of the season awards. That and the fact that I actually felt comfortable in my job - with regards to wages I was so prudent that the board actually said "to make sure that my prudence doesn't stop me attracting the players to move the club forward". Are they trying to *make* me spend money?
Low Point : The board deciding that they were less than satisfied with my management despite a season high point, low wage budget, good transfer movements. All because the club was over 100K in debt. I'm trying guys! I can't work miracles - clearing debt takes time. Unless you've unearthed a new wunderkid I've not seen??
Season in One Word : Exciting!
So next season I hope to build on all this, push for playoffs and maybe even drag the club back into the black. It's the best I've felt about any of the teams I've managed in this save so far. There's so much potential...
