Good luck !

Keegan Signs FIVE From Forest


I had just got out of my press conference and got the call that I wanted. I was told that my £82,000,000 bid for five players. So lets meet them.


John Keegan is the first guy to introduce to everyone. Last season was his breakthrough season if you ask me! Yes he played 29 matches two season's ago but that was because of injuries but last season he was first choice centre back and it has earned him a move to Real Madrid.
I could not turn down a chance to go and be part of another Keegan side. I look forward to breaking into the first team, because I know I won't get in straight away but I can not wait to play for Real Madrid.


Morgan Thomas is the next guy and what a legend he is. He is coming into the squad and will be installed immediately as my Captain. This guy is insane and with players and fans all over the world saying this guy is amazing I had to make sure he moved over with me. To move to Real Madrid is a dream come true, but to captain them now, I can only say thank you to Kevin for bringing me over to Spain.


Jamie Nightingale also comes over with me and again this lad works exceptionally hard for his team and is now a fledgling England International. This was the signing I wanted because Real Madrid fans need to know that when Gabriele ghedin was at Forest him and Jamie had such an amazing understanding that I had to bring him over.


Nirvana, what can I say about him? Well he does not officially move until the 1st of July but he is a whizkid Wonderkid and will again thrill the fans here in Madrid and it means I have technically ripped Forest apart but these are awesome because of me and I will always look to bring in the best to the club.


Finally I have bought a bit of experience with me too in Luke Shaw. this guy is critical for me because he is a complete professional and although he won't be able to play every match because he is getting on a bit he will most definitely be my number 1 left back at the start.

So my assault on forest has finished and I will look to buy a few more but will take my time and slowly work on where I think needs to be improved the most.
great signings buddy; hope they can all flourish at Real :)
It looks like you're having a successful transition from Forest to Real Madrid. Always consider your change in surroundings though. You might gain from some perspective and find some players in Spain. Also, it might be worth taking a look at restructuring your staff, and hiring Tassotti if he's still around. And, finally, make sure to take a look at what the current scouting team says. You might find someone else...

Best of luck

Holm Flies In To Sign




I am happy to announce my 6th summer signing today of Oliver Holm, 29 from Dortmund. The Dane signs for £18,750,000 and will slot into my vision for my squad perfectly.

Holm is truly one of the world's global superstars. Having made his Denmark debut against Malta in September 2018, he has gone on to make 82 appearances and score 34 goals for his country.

Holm began his career at Football Club Midtjylland in March 2013 but failed to make a single league appearance during his 3 years at the club and was released with the Danish club saying he did not have what it took to be a footballer. In July 2016 Bayer Leverkusen took a shot at him and he made 42 league appearances and scored 11 goals. During his time at Bayer he also went on loan in Holland to Ajax. Where he made 26 league appearances and scored 5 goals. He won the German Cup in 2020 with Leverkusen too.

In January 2021 he joined German heavyweights Borussia Dortmund for £22,000,000, a Danish record transfer. He made 196 appearances and scored a mega 84 goals. During this time he won the Bundersliga in 2022 and 2023, won the German Cup 4 times between 2024 and 2028 and won the German Super Cup 3 times between 2022 and 2025.

I can not wait to play for the biggest club in the world. I would like to thank Dortmund for 7 fantastic years but it was time for a challenge. Real Madrid need to win titles and that is what Kevin Keegan wants so I will give my best.
Woo !A very good striker, I see that it has a very interesting history.

Madrid's First Five Fixtures



We have a very good start to the season match wise. Celta, Lugo, Villarreal and Levante should prove relatively easy opposition for us. It all depends how well the side take to the tactics and style of play I am trying to implement.

Keegan's First Match For Madrid




Real Madrid enjoyed near total domination over a distinctly average Celta vigo side at Santiago Bernabeu this evening.

The match started tentatively for Real with Morgan Thomas, one of the ex-forest signings nearly handing the opposition the lead on 24 minutes. Striker Juan gave Celta the lead with a well struck effort in the 26th minute.

Midfielder Gaspar then doubled Celta's lead with a deftly executed finish on 28 minutes. Flambouyant midfielder Gonzalo Schenone pulled one back for Madrid after 31 minutes with a well timed close range finish.

New signing Oliver Holm then equalised on the 37th minute with a placed shot from a well worked corner kick from the edge of the area. English right midfielder Jamie Nightingale then put Madrid in front after a well timed close range finish on the 60th minute. Substitute Paulo Victor finally rounded off the victory with a lucky toe poke on the 82nd minute.



I am very happy with our performance. We were however very slow out of the blocks but I feel I have a very strong squad here and I feel I will win big things here.
Impressive signings m8! Good luck with Real ;)

The Draw






We got a pretty good group in Group A. FC Porto are a team that turned me down in the Summer. Stuttgart still have Saido Berahino playing for them and Dnipro always seem to make the Champions League now.

Chelsea have Atletico and Ajax and Auxerre. Do not be fooled by Auxerre they are the third best French club at the moment. Cletic have Man Utd and Juventus.

PSG and Dortmund are drew together along with Turkish side Galatasaray and Rubin of Russia.

OM, former winners are drew with Fiorentina and English Champions Nottingham Forest. Croatian side Dinamo also now get into the Champions League.

Monaco and Bayern should get through Group F without much trouble too as Sporting and Hopel Tel-Aviv are not the best in this competition.

Fianlly St. Gallen get a tough group by drawing Arsenal, CSKA Moscow and Olympiakos.

And finally welcome to the Champions League Hungarian Champions Gyor. Your reward is Barcelona, Inter and Shalke. Unsurprisingly Gyor is the 20,000/1 outsiders to win the Champions League.
Very nice new equipment, a good debut in the first match. And a group quite accessible, I do not have emotion. I wish you good luck.
