Annan Athletic Resigned. RFC Tournai New club.

Transfers over last 2 seasons

http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo351/wayneeg/Transfersoverlast2seasons.png

Not many have made it into my main squad as i've put a lot of them into my reserves as i didn't own 1 player in there.

As you may have noticed i have signed Jerzy Dudek at the ripe age of 40yrs old he has stated that this will be his last season before he retires, so hoping he has 1 more good year left in him to help with my goal, i will also continue to search for experienced players.

So the bookies have me down for relegation!! we shall see about that.

Scottish League Cup (1st Round)

We have been drawn against Elgin City Away which i think for 1st time in 3yrs i might be able to progress past round 1. Be nice if i can as would generate some extra finance.

Elgin City 0-2 Annan

Finally i have progressed further than round 1 in 3 attempts

Scottish League Challenger Cup (1st Round)

Have been given a home tie against Stranraer, played against them 5 times record stands 2wins 2 draws 2 and 1 lose.

Got Knocked out in penalties yet again 3-2 very disappointed with this result.

Scottish League Cup (2nd Round)

Have been given a home tie against Aberdeen (SPL), tad annoyed that i haven't recieved any earnings from this cup but did for getting knocked out in Challengers Cup

Let the season Begin

Not a happy manager right now, 2 games played and 2 defeats, Dudek will be dropped as a result, may of made a mistake buying such an old GK.

Annan 0-2 Ayr
Airdrie united 4-3 Annan

Going to stick by rest of squad and see how things pan out before i make to many changes.

Dumbarton 1-1 Annan

Better result but most of my teams morale is now abysmal maybe i should not be so tough on them, i'm sure the results will come.

Annan 0-1 Aberdeen (SPL) League cup round 2

Despite the lose I'm very happy with how the team performed.

Annan 2-0 Peterhead

Now that's better! Pulled together as a team for this game and everyone came out happy, more like this please.

its never good to have a bad streak of losing games mate. if it keeps up for to long you might might to tinker with your tactics just a litlle bit . or if your yet to have a team meeting its probs best to have one to try and get some confidence back into the team

I no mate this is my 1st bad patch in 2 seasons gone from winning title to 2nd following season and now sitting bottom of the league, not happy, also having to fight against my team members now asking for transfers lol

I've also done this, i didn't think anyone else would like the same challenge but with my annan team i signed a squad on free transfer that was good enough to win all the divisions until the spl, and i did that getting promoted every season!! USE GENIE SCOUT it helps so much with everything, i also sold the original squad on free's or for 1K just so i had enough to sign better quality players and now my balance is £3.6m and i am moving into a new stadium of 18250 at the end of 2015/2016

That's a great achievement m8 but i kind off like searching for my own players, makes it fun, but i do hope i can achieve the same fate as you one day.

Arbroath 0-2 Annan

We are flying high if we keep this up we could still make play-off spot

Annan 4-1 Brechin

Enjoying our football at this time shame we went thou such a bad patch at the start.

Rough start to the season but you a certainly turning at around. Can we see a print screen of the league?

I cannot believe you turned down Crawley! Could set up a great squad there if you kept them up!
Also turning down them League one sides in England surprised me.


I think you should stay till the end of the season! You are doing well.
