Team Prospects

Ireland


The Irish season is, at this point, in full swing as our managers enter the fray. The competition for most successful manager (Jose Mourinho Award) will not count this season's results. Matches against other managers will be counted for that award.

Shelbourne - Connor Rawlings

Media Prediction: 1st
Current Position: 1st

First by seven points and looking good for this years title, Connor could end up having his first counted season in the top league in Ireland, a tough challenge. The question is can he finish off the job and get promoted and if so, will he be up to the challenge of Ireland's top league?


Cobh Ramblers - Freddie Seccombe

Media Prediction: 4th
Current Position: 2nd

In a play-off position currently, they will be looking to keep that whilst closing the gap to Shelbourne. Another manager who could face the task of top level management straight away.


Kildare County - Zohaib Ahmed

Media Prediction: 6th
Current Position: 5th

Only 2 points from the play-offs, they could be a team which exceeds expectations. Looking for a play-off place and to consolidate for the real competition next year.


Dundalk - Jack Teague

Media Prediction: 2nd
Current Position: 6th

Disappointing so far, Teague comes in to try and change the fortunes of the club. It isnt a huge gap to the top, but hard work needs to be done.


Irish Senior Cup

The next round is the 3rd round and the only team out is Kildare County.

Irish League Cup

Kildare and Dundalk are the 2 teams still in


Ukraine

Igro Service - Zorax Doom

Media Prediction: 17th

Zorax will have a task on his hands to keep his team in the league with their prediction to be relegated. Will he be able to get the players needed to ensure survival? Time shall tell.


Dinamo-2 Kiev - Shantanu Ambekar

Media Prediction: 1st

The pressure is on in a much different way here. A top position finish is expected and failure to achieve as much could see his job go down the drain.


Dnipro Cherkasy - James Emonds

Media Prediction: 19th

Very much a relegation candidate, expected to just about avoid the base of the table. He may have less pressure, but can Emonds manage to stay up?


Mykolaiv - Richard Matthews

Media Prediction: 10th

A solid mid-table side, Matthews has a safe club to be with. If he manages to get them up the table it will be a success, but as long as he keeps clear of relegation the fans will be happy


Switzerland

Laussanne - Holden James

Media Prediction: 10th

Mid-table boredom! It will be the obvious task of Holden to aim higher than this by putting Jose's training into action


Servette FC - Justin Allison

Media Prediction: 4th

Strong contenders and could get promoted if things go their way. Justin will need to please the fans who will be looking higher up at the next division


Yverdon - Rabbitoh Rob

Media Prediction: 2nd

Yverdon under Rob are expected to come in the play-off position for possible promotion, but the pressure will be on to secure an automatic place without having to go through the painful play off process.


Concordia BS - Hopa Whitey

Media Prediction: 5th

A solid team looking to challenge the top of the table. Hopa isn't under massive pressure for promotion and so if he gets close it will only be a bonus for the fans.


Greece

Panthrakikos - Tom Baker

Media Prediction: 11th

A team which has to avoid going near relegation, anything higher than that is an achievement


Ag.Dimitrios - Pat Trigg

Media Prediction: 17th

Firmly at the root of the table and desperately struggling to survive, they will certainly have their work cut out for them. Survival is the only aim


Ionikos - Joe McDonald

Media Prediction: 3rd

A strong team who are expected to be there or thereabouts come the end of the season, the challenge is to get up enough to promote.


Kerkyra - Chez Spin

Media Prediction: 1st

Expected to be champions, that is a whole lot of pressure for this manager to face and he will certainly have to achieve or he will be out of a job.
 
Nice Work on that update, Cant Wait to see how my season goes.
