THE MAN BEHIND THE NAME...AND HIS HOPES IN THE TOP 100

Hi all,

Just a quick welcome post if you like from me as manager of Fenerbche and a little background from me as a person so here goes.


Me, well I'm 33 and have 3 kids and work for Ladbrokes. For my sins I have supported Newcastle since I was young enough to care, seen some good times and plenty of bad times. Season ticket holder who hopes to see some silverware before I meet my maker. Don't think that will happen under the current regime as its all about just being in the Premier League and not actually striving to be the best we can, for someone like Mike Ashley to be so successful in his other lines of business, to surround himself with so many yes men and incompetent fools it seems surreal. As for Steve McClaren the less said the better, the man is a fool who somehow, like Pardew before him was appointed in the Premier League after failing in the division's below. Wouldn't happen anywhere else.

Anyway on to Fenerbache in the Top 100..

I was briefly at West Ham at the very start of this game world but due to a few personal issues I left as I couldn't give enough to a strong gameworld so firstly thanks to Frank for having me back.

At fenerbache I've inherited an ageing side, plenty of quality but many players the wrong side of 30 and one of the first deals I've done was to bring in Jose Callejon from Napoli in exchange for Robin Van Persie. Arouna Kone and Atsuto Uchida came in from Everton and Schalke 04 respectively to add some depth to the first team pool. Youngsters Neal Maupay, Dael Fry and Karlan Ahearne-Grant boosted the devolvement squad. Once a few players in the youth team are not transfer banned I'll be looking to refresh the squad further.

Results wise it's been a good start, 3 wins against Porto(1-0) Bayer Leverkusen(2-0) and Valencia(1-0), a couple of 1-1 draws to Fiorentina and Chelsea with the solitary defeat a comprehensive 3-0 away defeat to Arsenal.

The cup brought an early defeat to Dynamo Moscow 3-2, but the shield brought some comfort with a penalty shoot out victory against Manchester City after a 1-1 draw.

I make no secret that I would love a job back in England but until this time arises I will be looking to give my all for the Turkish Giants.

Like I said just a brief post and I'll be looking to become a regular contributor to the blog.

Thanks for taking the time to read this
