The story so far:
Transfers
After improving my backroom team and reviewing the players at my club i decided the squad had quite a good depth to it so i have only bought in a few players
The Malaysian Cup
We started the Malaysian Cup with only 3 games left to go. Also having just beaten the Malaysian league champions in the quarter final we are now into the semi's. Can i achieve my first trophy within weeks of being at the club?? Here is my results so far:
Sorry about the rushed update but i have been bringing you up to date. From now onwards i will give a match by match story.
With having to wait nearly 3 weeks for my semi final game and considering i would now be playing Kedah who slaughtered me 3-0 last time i played them in the group stage i decided to help my team gel i would play some friendlies.
So far so good having not lost a friendly my team morale is high and it appears we are gelling together better hopefully we can take this confidence with us. Next update will be after my semi final games.
COME ON YOU TURTLES!!!!!
The first leg didnt start to well with my rb omar being shown a straight red and awarding Kedah a penalty from which they scored. Now playing with 10 men they were all over us and i was expecting them to score plenty more as they beat us last time at their ground 3-0 with 11 players however we held out well until the 53rd minute when they slotted home their 2nd goal so i made my last 2 changes hoping not to get embaressed. 68th minute they put the ball into their own net from one of our corners we now had hope. 73rd minute the turtles sent their fans crazy when Pedro Gonzalez equalised with a superb finish. I just wanted to hold out now as we could go into the 2nd leg at home with 2 away goals to support us. Things took a turn for the worse on 78th minute mark when impressive youngster Wan Zack Haikal Wan Nor was stretchered off leaving us to see out the game with only 9 men but we held out thankfully and go into the 2nd leg with confidence.
The 2nd leg was quite dull for 90 minutes but i showed my dissapointment to my players after having 8 shots and none on target but things looked up for us in the 102nd minute with super sub Gonzalez finding the net. We continued to hold outbut disaster in the 117th minute when Ismail equalised for Kedah. Then realising that away goals didnt count we went into a penalty shootout but our dream is over now until next season after losing 3-1 on penalties
Also before these games we managed to secure the signing of an Argentinian under 20's player who i had been after for a while
With my season now finished i have arranged a few friendlies to prepare us for the next campaign but until the season starts i will update on a monthly basis with transfer news and friendly results
The dream of taking the turtles to global domination is now over!! After an ok start to the season winning 2 and drawing 1 my results went downhill picking up only 1 win in all completions out of my next 11 games. Lying in 11th place the club owner came into my office to deliver me the news "after a bad run of results it is with deep regret I have to relieve you from your duties with immediate effect" I shrugged my shoulders as I knew this was coming and thought it was now time for a change so cleared my desk but as I was leaving the office I checked my mail and saw that T.N.S had released a statement saying I was their main candidate if their current manager don't buck his ideas up. It has certainly been an experience here in Malaysia but not somewhere I'd go back to...
Into June now and still unemployed bad times i have added Israel Belgium and Switzerland took out turkey and Malaysia half tempted to add England before July starts
