8. A-Z of Football – Brescia (99/00) – Christmas Presence

So we start off October sitting quite pretty at 4th Position. However, if I wanted to proceed with this challenge, it is a league I would need to win before I can move on. There are obviously cup competitions, but being in Serie B, I am already out thanks to a terrible cup draw!

It starts as somewhat of a boring period. Not many managerial changes, no big transfers, just general matches. Our form starts off poor and I am starting to wonder what it is that is going wrong? The team looks very strong, they just aren’t playing like it.

One legendary manager has left a club however, hope to see him later on!

Other than that, it is a pretty boring period. So I’m going to throw 2 together in one on this update! See, even have to post things like this

However, some nice results have boosted us up the league quite a bit. A nice result against 3rd place Torino leagues it as follows throws them down to 7th! And we take their place. Quite a tight league

Currently doing well for manager of the months aswell

Managerless Sunderland however flash the cash a little bit, that should help Huddersfield!

Following that, I get them offering me the job. ABSOLUTELY NOT

Also, really not sure what Marco Negri has to make this top of Italy list!

Up next is 2nd place Salernitana however. A tough test to see if we can actually win this league! It doesn’t go that way, and we drop from 3rd down to 4th

In other news, my team sack their manager!

The Euro’s has been drawn, and this is 100% the group of death. Who the hell worked out the co-efficients for this one!? Also – a group containing Scandinavia and Holland!

Big man Neville Southall then takes over at Fulham, come on Neville, take us to the top!

Big Neil Warnock also gets a new role, being second choice at Sunderland

AC Milan tempt Vieri over from Atletico Madrid to prove, once again, there is no loyalty in football!

Spain job comes available, and this could cause a managerial merry go round, the stuff that dreams are made of!

Peter Reid won’t be part of the managerial merry go round however (which is terribly unfortunate) as he ends up at Stoke City

Clemente isn’t out of work long however. Where does he end up? Real Madrid? Barcelona? Bayern?

Oh. Ok then. 14th in Serie B, obviously his ambition is unmatched. Staying in Serie B, and Bernardi is doing brilliantly for me. He is showing the reason I originally signed him for Arsenal. However, I would love him permanently…Just not sure if it is possible.

We are running high in 2nd and I NEED to win this league before I can move on. However – Cagliari are looking formidable. It is possible, but we need other teams to do us a favour. Clemente immediately brings Padova up to 11th.

What the hell is this? Clemente gets the job on the 25th November, and also wins manager of the month for November? Something tells me there is some fixing going on in the Italian FA…Nah, that will never happen.

In a very surprising move, Spain poach a manager from the Premier League. With the way they play football, they must go for someone exotic, very well known, tiki taka football. There is only one man for the job

Big Roy Evans. Well done lad. His replacement, ends the hope of a managerial merry go round though. Nobody EVER saw this one coming!

Torino bring back a legend of the game to Serie A though!

Some poor form however, and we are dropping away from Cagliari. Still sitting pretty in 2nd though, so it could be worse of course!

Another new manager picks up manager of the month for December, and that is where we will leave this update. We have some work to do, but things aren’t looking too bad!
