I started my career with Hearts and struggled miserably the first season getting sacked before the halfway point... decided to take over Dynamo Dresden... gained promotion by finishing 2nd in Bundesliga 2. Took them to 4th place in their 1st season in the Bundesliga. My 3rd season with Dresden we struggled in the league finishing mid-table, got knocked out ofthe German Supe Cup, got knocked out of the EFA cup in the 1st round... but I went out with glory trouncing Bayern Munich for the German Cup.
Since I wouldn't be playing in Europe the next season and feeling like I had done as much as I could with this small club I decided to head for the big time... there were some surprising big offers (like Inter Milan) but I settled for the English Prem and Newcastle. Playing at St. James park was too hard to pass up. I've got them in 2nd place behind A. Villa and we're progressing in the League Cup and ECC... I predict a good amount of silverware coming to St. James Park this season.
Something to think about though... why would Newcastle need a new manager if they qualified for the ECC the season before I got there?... Definitely something that needs to be fixed to make it a bit more realistic.
Best pre-season transfer... Shaun Wright-Phillips to Newcastle from a relegated Man City team
