Bonjour and welcome back to this multi club mayhem. I’m managing three sides, each one more eagled related than the last, with the sole aim of having two of them meet in the Champions League final some day.
That day will not be soon but progress is very reasonable in some places. Erik Tammer is my hero so far, 25 in 21 in the Dutch second tier is a more than fitting return (even though as a league, and in fact as a country, the percentage of goalkeepers with working arms is alarmingly low)
Hello! Welcome back to England, France and the Netherlands. If you are reading for the first time, you’ll probably be thinking there’s an awful lot going on there. You might be right. I’d catch up with Part 1 if I were you and then get back over here for this latest instalment.
That eagle does look mad, no matter how you feel about it. You don’t get many friendly eagles, really, do you?
Finally, an idea has arrived. Something has awoken and it’s all Nath’s fault.
I’ve got an entirely fictional story for you to set the scene. I should point out, multi club ownership is rubbish and a blight on modern day football but I do hope it’ll make for an interesting blog.
Big Eagle Entertainment Football Club Opportunities – BeefCo for short (also BEEFCO) are a set of mysterious investors who have purchased three football clubs across Europe. Their plan is for European domination which will inevitably lead to World Domination, as let’s face it, clubs outside of Europe aren’t up to much on CM9798. The dream is to see two of the BeefCo play out a Champions League final, but let me tell you this – these clubs are nowhere near Champions League at this point in time.
Let’s see who the BeefCo have signed up…

Bonjour! Welcome along for another half a season with the Basque Boys in France. After reverting to the old 2-3-1-2-2, things are going ok-ish in the league, and we find ourselves in the Champions League quarter-finals after a relatively easy group. Can we mix it with Europe’s elite? Let’s f*cking go…
Continue readingBonjour! Last season was looking promising at the halfway point, but ultimately ended in disappointment once again, although we did finish second, so have the prospect of Champions League football to look forward to this season. We’re getting closer, I can smell it.
Continue readingGreetings to you. It’s nice to be back, even if it is just a one off blog. I’ve been in a creative hole for a while now, for the first time since I started this site and all the other stuff I write about, I have nothing. No ideas, no spark, no appetite to open the laptop lid. Maybe it’s age catching me up – so many late nights sacrificing the odd hour of sleep here or there have stood me in good stead for being a parent of 2 – but those extra hours are hard to come by. I’m tired, boss.
Anyway, enough about my internal monologue. We’re back with a new-old idea. From the brain that brought you Win the FA Cup with Doncaster, here’s Win the FA Cup with Torquay. What a squad it is.
Bonjour happy champers! You join us in the best position we’ve been in at the halfway point of any season to date. Another tactical tweak has been getting the best out of these Basque Boys, both in the league and cup, so could it finally be our year? Let’s f*cking go…
Bonjour and happy Good Friday! Welcome to another Groundhog Day in Bayonne, where we’re dusting ourselves off and preparing to go again after another third place finish. I’m convinced that these Basque Boys have what it takes to win this league, so I won’t give up…
Continue readingBonjour, and a very happy Vendredi to you! You join us in a familiar position at the halfway stage of season eight. We’re out of Europe and the League Cup, and have drawn PSG in the main cup, so that’ll probably be short-lived, but at least that way we’ll have no distractions from trying to finish strongly in the league. Let’s f*cking go…
Continue readingBonjour! If you’ve followed this adventure for all eight seasons so far, I salute you! I’m sure you’re just as frustrated as me that we still haven’t won anything, but we’re fresh off the back of a third-place finish, so let’s see if we can go at least one better this season. Let the summer recruitment commence…
