Anderlecht, Belgium

Despite intense speculation linking Mr BadDragon with a move to both A.C.Milan and Tottenham, it appears that Mr BadDragon is staying put. Sources close to the Anderlecht organisation have indicated that Mr BadDragon has turned down the advances from both teams and is instead making plans on how to get out of the Champions League quarter final stage.

I decided to stay on. While I sought advice from my trusted advisor’s who were in favour of the move, in the end I decided that I have unfinished business in the champions league with this team.

Transfers

Looking at my team list, I have holes in a couple of areas from a development perspective. Right back and central midfield have a shortage of players on the conveyor belt.

First signing is “Air-Pet”, a three star potential right back.

Has good pace and reasonable skills. Even if he doesn’t develop, I am sure I can move him on for a reasonable profit.

Staff Signings

My existing assistant manager. I think I have made a good upgrade.

Manager of the Year Award

Another manager of the year award in yet another country.

Young Player Focus

Meet “Karioke”, one of the young talents we have had out on loan last season. He will be coming into the first team squad and should get about 20 appearances for the first team.

“S.V.H” has been playing as the understudy to “Campos” at right back. When I was reviewing the team for the upcoming season, it occurred to me that being 6’1″, rather good in the air, and light on his feet “S.V.H.” may actually be a better centre back.

Contract Negotiations

“The Greek” came asking for more money after I sent Manchester City packing. I was happy to tie him up at the club for another four years.

Injury Update

“Moose” is not a key player, so no big deal.

Team of the Year Announced

Can’t fault this selection – was almost my first choice, although how they left out the captain “C.K.” I’m not sure.

Supercup van Belgie

Genk were easily the second best team in Belgium last season. We will have to be on our game to make it three in a row.

“Alex” is not quite fit yet so “Doctor” gets a start.

A “Benny Jets” goal after 28 seconds set the tone for the game. In the end we were comfortable winners.

Transfer News

I had too many keepers aged 19-20. Time to prune the crop back a little.

Staff Signings

Two new coaches to replace the coaches who departed when their contracts expired.

Results Summary

The Supercup is sandwiched between a few friendlies which we won.
