Difficult start to the season for our managers!
We are reaching
October of the second
Hot Seat season and our two only employed managers are under-pressure.
Our female member
Chloe Kay had to wait until last week for her first win at the head of
Falkirk. The club is at the bottom of the Scottish Premier League table and Kay is already under-fire.
Last year, Justin Case and David Beckham also experienced a poor start, respectively at Sparta and Hercules, and the two managers were eventually sacked. This season
Beckham is trying to forget his first experience in management, but the former England international is once again facing the prospect of the sack.
He is actually at the head of
Zwolle and the club which was predicted third of the
Jupiler League at the start of the season is actually siting
10th with two wins out of seven games.
Several hot seat members are announced at clubs around Europe and it is
Andreas Esbech who seems to be the closest to getting a job.
Andy and me linked to the same job. This'll be fun!

Andreas Esbech joins OB
Inexperimented manager
Andreas Esbech was offered two contracts by
Danish Superliga clubs. The
Hot Seat member turned down
AaB's offer to join the club he loves,
Odense Boldklub.
OB is actually sitting at the
bottom of the table with seven points out of eleven games. Medias prediction at the start of the year are that the club will finish
5th, so Esbech will have a lot of work to do to bring back the club to the top (they finished 4th last season). The new manager declared that he was going to "reshape the club from top to bottom".

This is where the club deserves to be."

Job rumours: November 2013
Several
Hot Seat members are linked with clubs all over Europe.
Lucas Crosbie, Dave Hall and
Alonso Smith are all linked with
Bolton following Freedman sacking. The three managers were dissapointed to see a fellow Hot Seat member get
Birmingham's job after being all linked with the club.
Down in Spain,
Andoni Etxeberria who didn't find an agreement with Sporting or Reacretivo could join
Barcelona! Andoni is the favourite to succeed Eusebio at the head of the
B team of one of the biggest club in the World.
Finally
Mikhailo Holub is once again linked with a Russian club! Last season he was announced close to join four different Russian Premier League sides including
Terek Grozny. One year later, Terek once again sacked their manager and Holub is once again on the list of contenders for the job!
I...I...I just want a job for god's sake :'(
C'mon Terek... Mykhailo's getting bored at home with his
prostitues hoes friends!

Chloe Kay- Falkirk
Kay mission in Scotland is to save
Falkirk from relegation. After 12 games the Scottish First Division champions are

one game lost out of their seven last games.

My 1100th post!!! 
BENDIŠ KONSTRUKCIJE D.O.O. ANNOUNCES CONTRACT FOR THE STRAITS OF MESSINA
Timmy Ivo Bendiš, 36, announced yesterday that the Balkan construction monopoly had received, arguably, the most coveted contract in construction in the world. At the expenses of 6.1 billion euros, the bridge is said to be the most expensive in Europe at this given time, and will net Bendiš's controversial firm an absurd payday.
Bendiš started studying Civil Engineering in Zagreb, Croatia, before moving to Seattle in the United States to continue his studies. It looked like a promising career for the young engineer, but no one could count on the fact that his brilliance was only matched by his ambition. At 21, he was given his first internship in Monaco, before returning there at 22, and receiving a formal job offer when he graduated a year later. By 25, the Croatian had been promoted to the partner of the firm, where he moved quickly to head the construction of Genoa's new commercial port. The revenue for the small firm was unprecedented, and it grew tenfold overnight. Then, a similar project occurred in Pisa, before the airport in Marseille had to be expanded. The firm grew, and Bendiš only grew in stature within the firm.
The firm had reached its peak two years later, when they were commissioned to build Athletico Madrid's new stadium, but then, a massive scandal forced most of the directing staff to resign, several of whom went to prison. Timmy Ivo Bendiš, 27, assumed control over the largest construction firm in Linguria.
He moved more quickly than most, as if he was born to lead the firm... or if he knew what was going on. Using his connections in Croatia, he bought the three largest firms in the country in one swoop, before using his powerhold to force the rest of the Engineering firms in the country to either merge or fold. By 29, he had spread to the rest of the Balkans, and renamed the firm to it's current eponymous name. Bendiš Konstrukcije became the largest, and only, construction firm on the Balkan peninsula, and controlled all the markets in South East Europe, North Africa and Southern France.
The young executive dodged an assassination attempt at 30, before moving on to grab the contract to save Venice from the Adriatic, along with building the new airport. The Italians were obviously pleased, as, now, 5 years later, and with Venice raised on stilts, they gave him the largest job in Europe.
However, he still is chasing a job in football, which remains elusive, so he decided to buy one. The 35 year old, presented with near unlimited wealth, and a construction firm only rivaled by Bin Ladin Group in Saudi Arabia, has a 100% share in the football club in Messina, ACR Messina Calcio in the 4th Italian league.
Spending time at his massive estate on the hills overlooking Messina and the Tyrrhennian sea, Bendiš spoke with the new manager of the club, Moe Lester, and the new Director of Football, Evil Moderator, about the future, and its beckoning.
