1st June
As I was watching my beloved Manchester United player I started thinking back to when I was playing all those 10 years ago controlling the Centre midfield giving my heart and soul to the Red Devils playing in 340 games scoring 101 goals. It just brought back so many memories of my footballing days I loved Manchester united and Ireland I got caped 69 times for my country and also scored 38 times. Until this date I have not thought about getting back into football I promised my wife when I would hang up my boots that was me done. But now I have the desire to get back into the game I want to manage. But what keeps running true my head is what if I fail as a manager I was a good player but management is different there is so much more to the game as a manager aw my head is spinning one part saying do it the other saying don’t you have a good reputation as a player don’t throw it all away as a manager.

10TH June
As I still lie awake at night and think about what I am going to do all I can see is me in the number 8 shirt playing against Liverpool in not did I know my 2nd last game for Manchester United and when I scored the winning goal in the 86th minute all the fans cheering my name at just the age of 29 I had been bought into the red devils hearts we went on to win the game against Liverpool 2-1. But for some reason the memory keeps playing and playing in my head I don’t know if it’s trying to tell me something our maybe was there something said that day our maybe because all the fans around the ground were cheering my name I just don’t know.

20th June
Another sleepless night know this is getting out of hand so today I had a talk with my wife and told her what’s been going on I am not getting any sleep I am thinking a lot about football and my proudest moments as a player. The look in her face said it all (Your Going Back Aren’t You) I don’t know yet but I am thinking about it there is one thing stopping me though (What Is It) my 2nd last game for Manchester United it was against Liverpool when I scored it just keeps running true my head and just keeps playing and playing (That’s the day you hurt your left knee and did not tell anyone) that’s it my knee if I told someone I would of not had to retire at 29 but what has that got to do with anything (after your last game Chelsea Alex offered you a new contract as a youth coach and you said that you were done you won’t come back to the game ever again it was all over the papers ) it all does not make sense is it telling me not to go back into the game our go back my head is doing jump jacks on me now (Hun I am Telling You Go Back into the game) What? (You have not been the same in the last 10 years I thought it would blow over in a year but you don’t even know how bad you have gotten go back show them you can do it) Really that’s it sorted then I will come back I will show them.

28TH June
So with my coaching badges done yesterday well a bit of a catch up on them as I done them as I was playing because I wanted to coach when I hung up my boots but over the injury I just wanted away from the game until now. I have caught up on my coaching badges I am back I want to manage but who would take me on after been out of the game for so long would people still know my name. know I am getting butterfly’s in my stomach just thinking about it well I guess I will look and see what jobs are going and apply if it suits me.

Waiting

31th June
So I have been waiting for the right job to come along and as I announced that I was coming back into management I got a great response I was not expecting to get the response I got. Alex Ferguson came out and said fair play to the lad he was a great player for Manchester United and I hope he has success I am just disappointed it took Him 10 years to make his mind up but the lad needed time to gel around not being a player anymore and when people think like that it can really play with your head. I could not believe Alex came out and said that about me my name was on the employment Office and within a week I had 3 job offers coming from WestHam, Derby, and Doncaster I set down and looked at my possibility’s and within 3 days I had made my mind up just in time for the start of the new season. I know this is the right choice for me to develop as a manager and learn more about playing this role that I am not use to and I am grateful to the Chairman for giving me a chance like this. I know I have a lot of people to make happy and the fans and players need to trust in each other so my challenge as a manager is going to start.

Chairman & Club


1st July
My 1st day at my new club i could not sleep the night before I was so nervous going to do something that I have never done before the nerves were eating at me and the sweat was dripping of my head I looked at the clock 5.30 it was time to get up. So as I was traveling to the club I was having second thoughts I rang me wife and told her about it she told me it was like the 1st time I started a Manchester United that made it easier so at the gate the chairman of the club was waiting for me with open arms he said welcome to the club and brought me to meet the staff i told them all I am going to need all there help and to show me the ropes they seem happy to have me here. Then the chairman Brought me to the main part the club the dressing room were all the players were waiting and when I walked in I was not expecting what happened they all clapped and cheered my name I could not believe it I told the players we are going to do well this season and I will be back down after I see the rest the club for a meeting. The chairman brought me up stairs to a brown door with my name on it I could not believe it. There was my office the chairman left me to get settled in. My Story starts Jason Kavanagh and Doncaster Rovers lets go.
cool story like the way you write it i'll be following :)

Pre-Season And Transfers


2th July to The 30th July

Transfer News
I am 2 weeks into my new job as a manager and I am still learning I need to make transfers if I am to keep this team from beating the drop this season and with just 170k for transfers I won’t be able to do much. So I gave my old boss Alex Ferguson a ring to ask him about the possibility of getting Will Keane and Paul Pogba on loan for the season he said he would talk to them about going on loan and get back to me in the next few days. So while I was waiting my scouts came across a player called Carlos is an Angola Goal Keeper which is a free player so I snapped him up straight away at the age of 31 he still has a few years left. Alex got back to me and said yes the players would like to go on loan to get to play some 1st team this season so I put a loan bid in for the two players and they agreed to come to me. I am happy now with the deals that I have done and won’t be making any more this season.
In
Will Keane Loan
Paul Pogba Loan
Carlos Free


Pre-Season Match’s
Going into my 1st game I know it’s only a pre-season match but to me it feels like a champions league final game. It was match against Basingstoke Away in a match that we played well and won 3-0 I was so happy my 1st win as a manager I know it’s a pre-season match but I won.
The 2nd game was against Aston Villa at home in a match that we were played of the field by the premiership side losing 3-1 and I was a little disappointed but we will get on with it.
The 3rd game was against Portadown away in a match that the players played the other team of the field and we won that game 5-1 so a good results for the team and players.
The 4rt game was against Brentford and this was away and we won that match 1-0 to me it was a poor match but we won so I was happy also.

Results
(A)Bassingstoke 3-0 (Win)
(H) Aston Villa 3-1 (Lose)
(A) Portadown 5-1 (Win)
(A) Brentford 1-0 (Win)

Getting There


4rt July
With my 1st league game coming up the chairman called me into the broad room him and the broad were sitting around the table what he said to me was I want this team to finish mid table this season I looked at them and said sorry what mid table with the transfer budget and wage budget you gave me do you think you are being fair here I mean I could do it but with a bit of support of the broad would be nice I had to take 2 players on loan and a free player and that’s all I can do. We feel with the club and the players within the club are well able to get a mid-table finish that will be all.

As I walked out of the broad room I was so angry at them if they want a team like Doncaster to grow they are going to need to invest a little money into the club. Despite all that I had other things on my mind my 1st professional match as a manager was coming up and I need to prepare for it.
