Here you can follow the career of the author of the True Football Managers blog, as he attempts to take Southampton out of the Championship and to success, following his failed attempts in charge of Wigan Athletic.
Hey, all my readers! I have a good news! Southampton became the new club that I will be managing. They accepted my suggestion and I was glad to be invited to such well-known club. I never managed it before in the previous versions of Football or Championship Manager.

It will be rather tough challenge for me because Southampton board has Premier League promotion ambitions:

You see my new club is on the 9th place (and this was enough for sacking the previous manager of Southampton). The rules of this league say that two top teams win promotion to Premier Division. And teams placed 3rd-6th qualify for Playoff rounds having very difficult and nervous battle for only one last promotion place. My Southampton is far from the 2nd placed Sheffield United on 12 points and just 4 points from the 6th place. So I think it will be a very interesting challenge because now I do not have time to tune the tactics. I should set up new effective tactics very quickly for gaining at least the 6th place. At last I do not want to be sacked again! :)
