Good start,Landvik will come good!
10th September 2012

Journal,


After a few months of tireless searching, I have finally found an opportunity. Recently, due to their poor league performance, Sandefjord-a team in the second Norwegian divison, are without a manager, there last one axed by the board.

I did think that second division was maybe too high for my hopes, but, I contacted them and had a video conference, and they seemed to like what they saw. They actually wanted to meet me face to face so that I could show them my plans and tactics, which is great. I actually have a good shot at this.

I am currently based in Oslo, so Sandefjord isn't far to travel at all. In fact, I can keep my house here and still work in Sandefjord, that is, if I get the job. I am hopeful.

Well, I am booked to see them in two days, so I better prepare some sort of presentation to impress them. I am going to need to throw every ounce of tactical knowledge I have at them to have any chance of getting a look-in. Secretly, though, I think I might just get the job.
Good luck with your application Toon :)
Good luck mate

Journal,

I went to the meeting yesterday and showed them what I had to offer. I put together a powerpoint the other day to show them, and it showed my tactics and vision for the club. They seemed to really like it. In fact, they offered me a job. I am currently sitting in a hotel in Sandefjord, waiting for my managerial appointment to become official. I signed the contract last night.

In all honest, I don't plan to stay here and make this club great. I might stay for a season or two, fight for promotion, but, I doubt I will stay for any longer. It seems a little selfish, but I want to use this club as a stepping stone for my career. Hopefully I can do well for them before I leave.

Journal,

I have completed my first month as a manager, and I think it has been excellent. I was thrust right in to the league, having a game only a few days after I was made coach. I have managed to pull my team away from the threat of relegation, and I think I can make a push for the playoffs.

The Bryne result was disappointing, but they are above us so it was seen as quite a fair result. I hope we can continue this run, as we have a good team that is capable of enough. I doubt we can get promoted, and even if we did, we'd come straight back down, but it makes sense that I should try and finish as high as possible.

Journal,

Another great month. My second as manager, and still unbeaten, despite the team still sitting in mid-table. We are 100% safe from relegation now with only one game to go, but we can't get to the playoffs, which is a bit disappointing, but I didn't really want to get promoted anyway.
