Chapter 2:

The day was here, the plane was on the runway and we were in our seats; me, my wife and our little boy. Two suitcases settled in the hold and five pallets of household items on a boat meeting us in Iceland. We would stay in a hotel for a few nights until the boat arrived with all our things. We would eventually load them all into a van before progressing to Vestmannaeyjar, the small island south of Iceland where IBV are based. Our final destination.

Map of Location:

A new day, a new start! Today we travel to the new house, the van is loaded with all our gear and we are ready to go. A fresh coffee in my cup, still so hot I have to leave it steaming in the cup holder, a bag of sweets next to me which the wife is dipping into with a smile on her face. She turns to me and smiles. “Lets get to our new house” I shouted in excitement.

We pulled up outside the house, 5 minutes from the boat which brought us from Iceland's main land to Vestmannaeyjar. And we were here, a nice sized house, big wooden shutters on the windows, white fresh paint on the outside. No one living next door but two sheep and a cow, this is the life. All I could hear for a moment was silence, untill I heard a car pulling up next to the van. Out jumps David James, talking faster than ever with excitement. - Welcome Paul! I've been here for a month now and I love it!
David was recruited as player/assistant by the previous manager and I think he was happy when I took the job, meaning two English men at the top of the club. I was planning on keeping him, he has alot of experience and well me, Im a ex semi professional footballer, no one in the club playing staff will know who I am so its good to have a familiar face next to me.

David continued to talk as he wanted to tell me as much as he could about the team from what he had seen. - We have a few English people in the squad, aswell as a few great young Icelandic players who you will probably use in Iceland U19s. Congratulations on that job also, great to see you working in that role, it will help our young players develop if you take some in the squad.  Well Paul, oh look, you can see the training ground from your house, what do you think? The stadium you will see shortly when we have a walk around. See you later Paul, nice to meet your family also.

David left and me and the family as we entered the new house, the smell of wood hit me in the face, the walls just redecorated. It was perfect, the kitchen was massive with a center table to eat on, and the lack of curtains made it look even bigger. Walking on into the living room I saw the raw and beautiful nature outside, I was happy, the family was happy.
I said to the wife -Im off to the ground, need to get settled in as fast as I can.

Stadium Picture:

I turned up and just took a minute, the air was fresh but cold. There was a silence which was nice, I walked around the ground just thinking and planning. I stopped at the bench and sat in what would be my seat looking out onto the pitch, imagining big clubs comming here to compete soon enough. My aim was to push the club on, I was due to meet the chairman soon in his office to discuss the season, see what we could agree on.

I knocked on the door, a solid wooden door with a golden handle. As he called “Come in” I was just thinking how nervous I was. I had the job but still I'm new at the club, these meetings need to go well, what would we talk about, what would he say.
I entered and sat straight down on the chair, trying all the time to make myself look calm and collected where really I was shaking with nerves. The nerves calmed when another knock at the door happened, the chairman had asked David James to join the meeting! As David walked in the chairman asked me -hope you don’t mind Paul. I replied with a shake of the head. - Good to see you again, David.

The meeting went on for a couple hours, discussions about what is expected, what finances will be like for signings, if we can make any at all and stuff like that. All in all the meeting went well, me and David showed a bond already which was good as trust would be needed, and we came out of the meeting with a clear goal of what was expected.

Expectation from Chairman:

Now it was all about getting settled down for training and pre season having a look at who the scouts recommend and how we can improve the team.

Cracking stuff mate, look forward to the updates

Chapter 3 Pre season

My 1st day of training. The end of January. I opened the curtains, hoping that it was a nice day. In reality, the ground had 5 inches of snow on it and training was taking place in the local school sports hall. Great.
I set off to work, if you could call it work. I was so excited, and as I walked down the drive I turned and saw my Wife waving, She had a busy day also, starting work at the local store. Thats correct, working as a football manager is not always the best paid job, and for extra money the wife had to take a job on arrival. It was ok though, this did mean she could meet new people and get new friends in the area to keep her company whilst I was away travelling Europe with Iceland U19s.

I arrived at the school sports hall to find the team doing fitness drills. I requested that the team focus mainly on fitness during pre season as I wanted us all fit for the Upper League cup group games which were starting in only 1 month. We had a few friendlies in this time to give me a chance to view the squad, but nothing really important. The layout in Iceland means the club plays the whole of the Upper League Cup before the season starts, and in my eyes we did not have a chance 1st season to win this so it was a chance to evaluate the squad more.

I stood back with a pen in my hand watching the players continue the days training, passing drills followed by some small 4v4 games. We had some skillful players in the team, things were looking good, and I was pleased with what I saw. I was starting to dream, later in the season we are due to participate in the Europa League due to the club finishing 3rd last season.This was discussed with the chairman. He said he had not expected anything from the cup but as I watched my 1st day of training I started to dream that anything was possible, a couple of wins and we were in the play-offs against the big boys.

Training over and I made my way to the ground. My 1st day was nearly over, so I went to my office with the idea of looking over a report from the scout, but on my way the phone rang. I was walking so it was windy but I could hear and understand the conversation, it was an agent offering me two players! Both were Icelandic and without a club, so I asked him to get the players down to train with us which he was very happy to agree to.
Once I got to the office the scout had gone and his report was nowhere to be seen. I was confused but as I had many more things to do I didn't think more of it. Sitting at my desk I had a view people would dream of, looking over the stadium with the backdrop of mountains; it was beautiful and I could not believe my luck to get this job. I would have taken any job but a top division club in any country is an honour.
My happyness did not last long, a knock at the door startled me as I thought I was alone. I shouted come in. It was Matt Garner, an English center back that has been at the club since 2006. I welcomed him and he got straight to business. -Paul, I want to leave. I have done all I can here, I've been here many years and I want to go back to England. I was shocked, first day at the club and I get this? I asked him to please give us time; -we will grow and you will achieve big things here. Hoping this would change his mind I waited for him to answer as he stood up staring out the window, he turned and just smiled. -I'm sorry, I’ve been here long enough, I love the place I really do, but I need to leave.
That was it, he walked out, leaving a letter on the desk. I guessed it was a transfer request.

Putting Garner on the transfer list I hoped that no one would want him. He looked good in training and as the weeks progressed and the friendlies continued he looked like a 1st choice center back for me. Why did he want to leave? He looked settled and happy playing, and I had not relieved to the press he wanted to leave as I did not want any fans getting on his back. I was hoping he would see his contract out and leave at the end of the season but it was a matter of hoping no bids came in.

Pre season went well as I sat at my desk. Two weeks at the club have past, we have played all our friendlies now and they went well! Holding FK København to a draw at home was a highlight for sure, also making two signings, both on non-contract deals which were best for all parties; meaning they could leave if better playing offers come in and we wouldn't have to pay the wages if they are not playing regular.

Friendly Fixtures:

Transfers:

Next up was the 1st game of the Upper League cup, a chance to test myself in a competitive game for the 1st time. I was pleased to say I had held onto all my players including Garner, I felt my team was strong, but only time would tell. Before the games I altered training, asking David to take control whilst I watch over things to see as a whole how the team is doing. Changing to focus on ball control I was hoping they would show a willingness to get the ball down and play football more in our games, as a lot of clubs in Iceland are known for long ball play, but I wanted to bring style and control to the games.

Chapter 4: Upper League Cup

The date was the 17th Febuary 2013, two days after my 26th Birthday. The family had come over to visit me from England, they were still here after deciding to stay so they could watch me in my 1st competitive game as manager of IBV.
They were as shocked as me, my brother, five years older than me and having no interest in football was even sat on google learning more about IBV, shouting random things about the club from the corner of the living room, the family was all sat around with the fire burning, the heat making us so hot we had the buttons on our tops undone.
My mother was talking to my wife in the corner of the room, I could hear here from the kitchen but to be honest I think the neighbours could here hear, shouting about how proud she was, her son, a football manager, only just turned 26.
I stood in the doorway – ok gang, I'm off to the stadium, I will see you all there, 15:00 kick off remember, do not be late.
Walking outside I started to feel the excitement in my blood, today is going to be a good day. I had a clear plan in my head, what we are going to do, how we would play, but the question still remained; would it work?

The game came and went fast, we were awesome, and I was delighted with how we did! We held on to the ball well and took our chances

Result:

539 fans turned out to watch the game, 4 of them my family, I got a great reception and could hear songs from that stands on many occasions with my name in them. I will admit it was great to hear, the roar of the fans gave the players a lift all the way through the game.


Nearly 2 months now since playing in my 1st competitive game and the Upper League Cup has finished for IBV, and we failed to make it out of the group. I called David into my office; the chance to sit down with the Assistant after the competition was over was a great idea in my eyes, to compare notes on what we did correct and what we did wrong.

Fixtures:

-Well David, lets get straight to it.

Paul, I think we need to look at the defence, I would love to look at the way we have been playing defending corners as well as how we attack them. Looking at how we line up for corners needs changing, we need to alter how we sit across the line and how we close the ball, I have a idea I have drawn up, here:

Tactics Board:

-Great David, we will work on that in the next few weeks as well as a few other Ideas I have, we will be sorting some local games to keep players fit as we still have 28 days until the opening day of the league.

Brilliant mate KIU

Chapter 5

Wow, time flies when your having fun

I was walking to the ground, the 2 minute walk was perfect, I loved taking the walk to the ground, amazing views to see, I had received a call after the last game, the chairman wanted a chat to discuss the 1st half of the season.
Walking to the ground it was a beautiful day, the sun was so warm on my face, a nice breeze from the coast was blowing through my hair, gorgeous day.
As I made my way to the ground I walked past the postman, he stopped me to tell me I had mail, I took it off him and opened it in front of him, as I was reading he was talking about the club, how he thought we had been playing, what we should change. I felt rude as when he finished talking he was awaiting a reply but I had failed to listen, I had no idea what to say so I just nodded.
The letter was all I could think about, it was Steven, the butcher from Egersund, he had done what he said, he had covered the shop in IBV flags, he was streaming games live in the back room, I did not want to know what illegal sites he was using to find the steams but it was amazing, we had a fan base outside of Iceland, he continued for a long time in the letter about how he was loving watching the games and a group of them were hoping to travel up and watch a game before the end of the season.

I arrived at the stadium, only 1 car in the car park, well by car park I mean a patch of grass next to the stadium with some rope to mark the parking spots.
It was the chairman’s car, I was looking forward to the meeting, we had been doing above expectations in the league so it was a matter of seeing what he wanted to discuss.
I walked in and went straight to the coffee machine, nice Latte to drink ready for the meeting, the smell was so fresh on a morning, I loved a coffee to wake myself up.
Arriving at the chairman's office I was ready to chat.

Paul, come on in, how are you? I called you here just to sit and discuss how you think the season is going, before we get into details I would like to say I am very happy with your job and your in a safe position so you can relax and chat about the season so far.

Well, I'm also happy with how things are going, I will admit I think the squad is weak, we are missing a couple of defenders which is something I want to change over winter break, also me and David are hitting a bad patch, he is not interested in staying beyond this season, we still work well together and have not told the players but it looks like he is leaving in the winter.
Games wise there is nothing to shout about, you asked us to avoid relegation, we are 10 points above relegation but we are also the same distance behind the top, sitting in mid table, I know if we finish here it will be a great season, we did break a IBV record in the 1st half of the season going 6 games unbeaten which is the main thing to shout about.

League Fixtures:

Europe did not go as hoped, playing a team from Bosnia I was hoping we could get through to the 2nd knockout round but we failed in that, they were very strong, beating us in the away leg and after us taking a 1-0 lead in 2nd leg they pulled it back to 2-1, we continued to attack but could not get the  goals needed, falling so short but so far away, going out on away goals 3-3

Europa League run:

The Icelandic Cup has only just started, only playing 1 game so far and it was a win, nothing major to report, they were a non league side so I was expecting goals, a solid 2-0 win, not a lot of goals but enough for the win.

Icelandic cup run:

all in all a solid if not spectacular season so far, I'm hoping we can talk about funds available for the end of season early? I know we are 6 month from the end of season but what are we expecting?

Well Paul, im glad you asked me, as you know many players have only 6 month on contracts left and we can start to look for players to sign. I am sorry to tell you it is looking like we will have no money to spend on players but I can tell you that you will have around 3k per week spare for contracts which should give you the chance to strengthen team massively.

Wow thanks, 3k extra is a massive amount, I will start discussions with scouts and with David about how to improve the team, I know David wants to leave the club in a good position, I would also like to leave you with a parting discussion about the 2nd half of the season.

I am hoping we can push the season on, I want to move up into the top half and see if we can chase down the final Europa league place, also my aim is to win the Icelandic cup, maybe its not possible this season but I want to aim for the best.


Ok Paul thanks for coming into see me, was good to hear what you think of this season so far, good luck in the 2nd half of the season and I look forward to watching how the team develops.

Next stop Iceland national team, all the way to the World Cup Final

wait for next update before that comment mate :p haha

Chapter 6:

So, I stand in the chairman's office, my hand are so warm, the last game of the season has just finished, the fans have all gone home, the ground is empty, I just stand silent looking out of the window.
The chairman enters the room and I can see its not good.

Paul, ok where do we start, What happened, why did this happen, we had a good 1st half of the season, sitting in mid table, how, why, I really do not know what to say.

I can not explain it, I never planned my 1st season in football management to end like this, how could this happen, getting IBV relegated was never the plan.

Paul we all know it was not the plan, the plan was to push on and I was hoping next season would be a great one for the club, now we have to fight to get back into the division.

I have some ideas, I know I can bring the club back into the Premier league at the first time of asking.

Paul, you will not be the manager any more, we love you here but we can not trust you, we need you to leave the club, hopefully you can learn and get a new club soon and grow as a manager, but for Paul Wandless and IBV it is over

Table:

1 week had past since me losing my job, I had spent the week just looking at the newspapers, reading stories online about the season, what I did wrong according to all these reporters.
Today things seemed different, I woke up and the sun was bright, it was October, the weeks had been cold but today was hot, and I was feeling better, I walked downstairs to see the Wife and my son eating at the table, a spare bowl sat with cereal in it just waiting for Milk.
The wife asked me- so are you joining us today?
I sat with the silence in the room very clear to all before the phone rang to break the silence.

It was my Agent, calling to ask how I was feeling, he informed me he had some news, I had to check my emails, he had applied for a job for me.

Turning my computer on, the wife joined me with a cup of coffee in her hand for me, I could not wait to see what he had applied for, on the day of my sacking with IBV he contacted me to tell me he would be looking for new work for me.

The Email opened and looked promising:

KR are looking for a new manager after a poor season finishing in 8th place in Icelandic Premier Division.

The email continued with descriptions of what would be expected in style of play and finances and it welcomed me in for a interview.
I sat back and took a sip of my coffee, what would I do, I looked to the wife, this was a importunity I could not turn down. KR are the oldest and most successful club ever in Icelandic Football, I never wanted to be rude or abusive to IBV but this was a step up, a bigger club all round, I was shocked they wanted to meet me.
I traveled the same day by car, I had only just purchased a car in Iceland so it was fun to take it for a drive, the whole time I kept thinking how crazy this was, I had failed so bad at IBV and feared my career as a football manager was over before it got running and now I'm traveling for a Interview with the most successful club of all time in Iceland.
I arrived in Reykjavík in good time, got to the ground and had a walk around, wow it was amazing, facilities were a step up to what I was used to, the changing rooms were perfect, I hoped the meeting would go well.

KR Stadium:

I entered the meeting, it lasted for what felt like a eternity, my hands were shaking, the board members sat across from me looking like I was a mistake, why was I here I kept asking myself in my head.
The meeting was over, it seemed to go ok, they all smiled at the end, maybe they were glad it was over also, guess I will find out soon.
I called my wife to tell her I was staying in a hotel in Reykjavík over night, traveling back to the island at this time was a bad idea, the cold nights were setting in, no matter how warm during they day it was, on a night It was cold, shuttle ferry’s stopped running early evening also and I did not want to make the mad dash to catch it only to have to turn back when I failed.

I had been in the hotel room for 30 minutes when my phone rang, assuming it was my son wanting to say good night I answered with a smile. A deep voice was at the end of the phone, it was not my son.
The chairman of KR had called, that was fast I thought, I asked him how he was and if everything was ok.

Paul- we would like to offer you a contract, 1 year at the club, we will not discuss what is expected next season yet but we would like you to come in and work straight away, the faster you start the faster you can prepare for next season

Taking Charge:

I called the wife, we discussed for a long time how this would work and decided to move, this was a big step, what would happen, how would it happen. Where would we live.
Big changes were happening in our lives and all was been discussed over the phone.

Paul, See you tomorrow, you get a good sleep and look at the positives, you have landed a job at the oldest and biggest club in the history of Icelandic football, you would never have dreamed of this 1 week ago, you must have shown potential, IBV were a small club, you did you best.

What will happen next in the life of Paul: The Football Manager

Great story very well thought out KIU

Chapter 7:

Christmas in a new house. Was this the plan? No.

leaving IBV, all be it not by choice was turning into a blessing. I had signed the contract and was officially the manager of KR and things were looking good.

Me and the family moved to Reykjavik just in time for Christmas, it was looking good, it was a nice  newly built house, nice big garden, we were home and we knew it, the wife smiled and looked delighted, we had agreed she would not look for work straight away, I got a pay-off when I left IBV and that would support us for a while, this meaning she could be at home with our boy more as well as been there to support me, coming to games as well as at home.
A happy home means me going to work happy.

Pre season was due to start in a few weeks so I went down to the stadium to have a look around, get a feel for the place. It was a cold winter in Reykjavik so I wrapped up warm, the snow was falling, not a lot but enough to make you feel like you wanted to run inside, arriving at the ground you realize you are at a new level, totally different to IBV, facility's looked fantastic.

Stadium picture:

It was fantastic, I walked around the pitch, the ground staff were working hard to keep the pitch alive during winter, keeping the pitch clear of snow was a job that needed to be done more than once a day as well as making sure the seating and standing areas were up to league standard for the coming season.
As I walked inside I called all the staff over, the came over wondering what I could be wanting, it was simple really.

You guys have been working outside all day, doing a great job for the club, now you all will sit down and eat a warm meal and drink, my treat.

They all looked shocked but happy, my aim at KR was to become a popular manager, I had no problem interacting with all members of staff, no one from the bar tender to the coaches were to big or to small to me.

I made my way up to my new office, the 1st time I had been in properly and it was massive! I loved it, I sat at my desk just looking around the office, it had everything I could need, tactics board area for discussions with assistant as I requested, I noticed a note on the board waiting for me, at closer examination it was my 1st scout report as well as a report on players who's contracts were running out. Perfect, a chance to look over where the scouts think we need to improve as well as who could be leaving the club in a matter of weeks.

Now the hard work starts, getting ready for pre-season and trying to challenge for the title with KR.
I had 1 more surprise for my new chairman, I called him but no answer, I decided to put it in a E-Mail.


Hello Matthias,

I tried to call you but got no reply, thought I would send it in Email as I know you get them on you phone.
I wanted to tell you, after our discussions about me doing KR and the Icelandic U19's job, I know you were happy to let me continue the U19's job but I’ve decided against it, I have resigned from the role so I can focus on KR. You have given me a great responsibility in managing the greatest of all Icelandic clubs and I want to make sure nothing gets in my way.

Regards
Paul Wandless

Chapter 8:

New Club, New Season, different outcome?

I arrived, walked through the doors into the changing rooms, the smell of fresh paint was still clear to all but for how long, I was expecting this group to work hard and smell bad by the end of the day, the 1st day of Pre season.
The players all stood up and smiled, all welcoming me to the club, it was a great feeling and a great reception, walking around the room shaking the hands of the players and staff alike.
OK lads, lets get out there at get training, 1st day back and we are training on the pitch, great work by the grounds men to have this pitch playable in January.
Ulfar Hinriksson held back whilst all the players ran out onto the pitch, I had asked the chairman to sign Ulfar as my assistant over winter, I was impressed with a chat we had had in the break.

Hello Paul, great to finally meet you, hopefully we can work well together and get KR back where they belong, I have some ideas for tactics and set piece play, maybe we can discuss it all later?

Of course, sounds like a great idea, today I would like you to take training Ulfar, I have some things to deal with in player recruitment and I like to let my assistant work on the training ground, focus on fitness, I was reports on the all at the end of the day.

I had also agreed to bring David James with me to KR, after him leaving IBV he contacted me and asked for another chance to prove himself, he is assistant manager to KR u18's

Pre season flew by, playing 5 games in pre season, we only lost 1 game, winning the other 4, I was very happy with how the team was looking

Friendly Results:

 before we knew it we were at our 1st competitive game. A home game in the Upper League Cup against Volsungur. This game was one of the best performances I had seen in my short time as KR manager

Result:

The Upper league cup was a great experience for me compared to last season, we looked strong, I was happy with tactics I was using, going for a simple 4-5-1
I spent so long last season with IBV trying to fix and find a formation to work but my KR team seemed to be working and I was delighted. Me and Ulfar had sat down and looked at many tactics and set piece drills over the last few weeks and decided on the basic 4-5-1 due to the players we had available.

Tactics:

We got through the group stage with ease scoring 32 goals in 9 games, dropping just 2 points all the way through, things were looking good

Table Upper League Cup:

We were drawn against IA in the quarter finals at a Neutral ground, IA won the title last season and had a settled team, it was visible, they controlled the game from start to finish with the final score ending 1-0 to IA, we were out in the quarter finals, I was proud of the team, still learning my tactics we had done well in the group and proved how good we can be, I would be going into the season with a lot of hope and excitement.

I traveled home, knowing that the league would be starting soon, how would be do? where would we finish? These were 2 questions running through my head but for now, I just had to focus, we had stepped up training, working on a lot of attacking movement as well as fitness still.

Tonight was my Son's school play, his 1st and I was not missing it, I turned my phone off and planned on a night with the family, things never go to planned.
Managing the biggest club in the history of Icelandic football meant I spent all night answering questions. It started on the way to the school, stopping for fuel the 1st words I hear were a older man shouting across the forecourt of the petrol station – Can we win the title this year? Of course I replied.
The noise of passing cars drowned out his next comments so I just waved and got back in the car, turning to the wife and just smiling – This is going to be a long night.

Arriving at the school it was amazing, lights all over, big signs advertising the school play, we were now in march but it was still very cold, the wind blowing the lights and banner around above our heads. Walking into the school I got asked for a photo from a young family all wearing KR shirts, it was amazing to see.
I was so proud to get this job and my wife could see I was loving the attention so she just smiled and let me get on with it, this job had turned our lives around, last season was tough for us all and when you are going through a tough time, life at home becomes hard as well and now we were happy and looking forward to the future and the season ahead.

ace dude enjoying it kiu

Chapter 9:

Well I have been here before!

Sat outside the chairman's office like a child at the head teachers office, I was nervous, I remember how last seasons meeting at IBV went and what happened after it. It was not the meeting that scared me, it was the weeks to follow.

The door opened, the heat came bursting out into my face, such a nice warm office, I was looking forward to getting in, It had been such a cold day on the coast of Iceland.

Welcome Paul, please come in, lets sit and have the chat, we are half way through the league season, a perfect time to discuss how the season has been going.

Well thanks for inviting me, we are going well, I think its clear to see I am moving the club in the right direction, after a finish of 8th last season I knew I was coming into a club that needed work, when we went through pre season and the Upper League Cup I saw a lot of potential in the club and they are showing that I was correct to give them a chance, these 2 players have been key so far and I make it our aim to secure them for the long term

Stars:

That is great to hear Paul and yes I am glad you have found and assessed what players were right to use, I am happy with how the season is going so far, like we discussed, I wanted you to challenge for the title and that is what you are doing, I'm happy with how the league table is looking;

Table so far:

I am glad you listened to my advice and found us a feeder club, I was happy with Rosenborg due to their your system, I think if we can get a few players in off them on loan it will be a big help.

Rosenborg link:

Yes I wanted to listen to you, you are the manager and on the playing side, you know what is best, it was good to see they are willing to pay us a yearly fee as well, been a Semi Professional club we need all the funds we can get. Also Paul we have received the latest European Rankings, the club is moving in the right direction but we are still very small.

European Rankings:

I am hoping within a few seasons we can move up very far in the European rankings, give us time and we will deliver, we have a great group here, its just going to take time for us to move the club in Europe, a small club compared to the rest of Europe as you know chairman, Icelandic football is amongst the worst in Europe but I want to change that perspective.

Excellent Paul, well I look forward to a long relationship with you if you keep up the current form.

I left the meeting, walking down the hall towards my own office I noticed a car in the car park, a Norwegian number plate stood out a mile in this country.
Making my way down I thought it could only be 1 person, Steven, my old local butcher and a friend of mine. I got there to find him getting out the car with a smile on his face.

Lovely weather Paul, bet you are glad you left Norway -  Steven shouted as the frost was turning his cheeks blue.

Steven, what are you doing here, its great to see you, as you can see, new club now Steven.

Paul, we were all shocked, 1st you got sacked, we could not believe it, I am sorry about last season.
I do not know what to say about KR, we were shocked, you landed a amazing job, it shows that they saw your potential when IBV did not.

Thanks Steven, yeah I am very happy here but I need to ask, why did you travel so far?

Paul, you are massive in Egersund, we all are following Icelandic football now, one of our own managing the biggest club, its amazing to see, I have come up to watch your cup game against Fram in a few weeks as well as having a nice holiday for me and the family, we are staying in the town in a small hotel.

Wow, its great to see you have come up to see us play Fram, it will be a good game. I am humbled to see and hear that you are all following my progress and hopefully in the winter break KR can come to Egersund for a friendly. It was nice to see you Steven but I need to go, got a team meeting to attend, see you at the Fram game.


What will happen in the 2nd half of the season to KR and Paul: The Football Manager

Chapter 10 soon

Looks great, I changed it to a blog for you, you have more options now for creativity
