So I gave up my Kettering game as it had all become too easy after reaching League Two, players had starting scoring for fun an ended up top of the league half way through the season (:/)
Anyway someone recommended me Linfield, my goal was to reach the Quarter Finals of either Champions League or UEFA Cup by my third season in charge.
Season One
First season I joined midway through the league, Linfield were already top with 8 games to go, all I had to do was see the remainder of the season top and pick up any additional trophys. My first signing was Kyle Wilson on a free transfer who previously played for Crewe, he was originally from N.Ireland and scored 4 in 6 games in the league. We finished the season 5 points clear having clinched the title a game earlier after being fierce rivals Glentoran 2-0, who were at the time 2nd. With the league in the bag all was left was the All-Ireland cup (Sentana Cup), having drawn a tough group with Glentoran, Longford and Irish League Leaders Bohemians. I scraped through the group in 2nd place with concluding the group stage with a nice 3-0 win over Glentoran but also losing both home & away to Bohemians. We breezed through the Semi's beating Shelbourne 3-0. In the final we faced Bohemians yet again, a change of tactics was needed or I felt we'd get hammered, so I opted for a more defensive formation with a deep back line, direct passing and counter attacking. All in all they dominated, with 18 shots to our 12, but Glen Ferguson pinched a dramatic last minute winner. Happy days. And a nice 200k prize money :amika:
