Austin 850 Report post Posted November 24, 2007 Re: Save Our Season After the say so by Leamintonsteve,I have been granted permission to post in this thread.I took over Cruizero in wc 121,18th place,but with 59m in the bank.I decided they had too much money. Then I took over rapid vienna,a position above West ham,and 16m in debt,whats worse,they had no good players to sell for cash .Austins goal is to move them into the top fourteen by the end of the season,and with only 8 games to go, and 9 points from the next team above them,this will be a VERY tough challenge.

leamingtonsteve 820 Report post Posted November 24, 2007 Re: Save Our Season DAY FOUR The dream still very much alive as the hammers rewarded me with a second win. On loan Jan Rosenthal gave United the perfect start before a 18th minute leveller by Sorondo. Bobby Zamora came in to replace Dean Ashton for this game and scored his first goal of the season to make it 2wins out of 2. Other results were not so kind as Rapid Vienna were also victorious over Mallorca meaning there was no closing of the gap. Seven games to go, nine points behind. Next game is against Anderlecht who are top of the league . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Austin 850 Report post Posted November 24, 2007 Re: Save Our Season WC 121. Rapid Vienna 2 - 1 Mallorca. Austin won his first match as Vienna manager 2-1 against mallorca in a bttom team showdown.Martinez and Dollinger got on the score sheet to give Vienna their first win after bfour losses in a row.The chairman said he was very happy with the introduction of Austin and hoped he continued to bring success to the club. This win keeps them above the steadily improving,bottom West Ham, and closes the gap on 18th placed Cruizero who were held at home by Monaco Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leamingtonsteve 820 Report post Posted November 28, 2007 Re: Save Our Season DAY EIGHT A set back in the challenge for West Ham as they suffered there first defeat under my leadership. The league leaders was always going to prove a tough task and they were just too much. Rapid Vienna also lost so the gap remains nine points but every game needs to be won otherwise we cant catch Cruzeiro. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Austin 850 Report post Posted November 28, 2007 Re: Save Our Season Auxerre 3 - 1 Rapid Vienna Austin lost his first match as Vienna manager as Auxere pummeled us into the ground.Lawaree was the loan scorer for Vienna.Viennas minuscule squad has limited the managers starting choices,and has resulted in a lot of NMF's on players.Elsewhere,Cruizero drew again and West Ham lost to league leaders Anderlecht to keep the gap the same.Vienna are now 17.1m in debt and i need a way to get money back.Suggestions?

leamingtonsteve 820 Report post Posted December 4, 2007 Re: Save Our Season The hammers back to winning ways narrowly beating Zagreb. Three wins in four games now and with Rapid Vienna losing we now need six points. Cruzeiro sadly cannot be caught so i wont finish any higher than 19th. The race is on with five games to go, next up is Monaco in 10th they havent won in there last four games. Matthew Etherington, the two goal hero in the Zagreb game picked up a knock and will miss the Monaco game which will be a huge loss. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YES!!!RApid Vienna wrapped up a 2 - 1 away win! over Zenit de Petersburg.A tough game in which Klincl and Hlinka scored to subdue the home fans.Elsewhere West ham took a heck of a beating from Monaco which restores the gap between them.The job is pretty much done noe.All Rapid need to do is get a point,and a west ham loss to seal 19th place Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leamingtonsteve 820 Report post Posted December 8, 2007 Re: Save Our Season The challenge is still alive after some game at Ewood park. Having Gabbidon sent off after ten minutes did not help the hammers cause but they ground out a great result that puts us back to six points behind Rapid Vienna after they lost. With three games to go this is really going down to the wire and the next match at home to Rangers is a must win. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leamingtonsteve 820 Report post Posted December 15, 2007 Re: Save Our Season The challenge comes to an end despite another win for the hammers. With Vienna winning theres no way West Ham can get off the bottom. Bobby Zamora scored the only goal of the game which saw West Ham again finish with ten men as returning Nigel Reo Coker lasted just three minutes. One game left to play and a home match to 13th placed Birmingham who have won there last two games. After this game i will move onto pastures new to try a new challenge, anyone who would like this side i will post the squad on here and someone let me know before the final game.

leamingtonsteve 820 Report post Posted December 19, 2007 Re: Save Our Season The final game of the challenge and although the chance to get West Ham off the bottom has gone, the hammers have restored some pride by narrowing the gap. Hammers fans were treated to a game where they saw there side two down after 55minutes only to storm back and win three two. Although West Ham failed to get off the bottom i am pleased that the side gave a storming run into the end of the season and the record before i took charge read as: PLAYED 29 WON 02 DRAW 05 LOST 22 POINTS 11 The record for the final nine games: PLAYED 09 WON 07 DRAW 00 LOST 02 POINTS 21 The hammers went down fighting and i now hope to pass this side onto a respected forumer hoping to take them onto new heights. I will keep hold of the side until someone shows an interest and will post soon of the next club that needs saving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
