Firstly I must apologise for the inconsistent updates, I have grown accustomed to irish lifestlye and have tried to shed my germanic millitaristic ways.
As you can see I have even dressed in the native style in order to better fit in. However I find that many Irish folk only put on their native dress at sporting events and other cultural days. Quite strange.
Back to football and it has been a great end to the season for Shout FC. A victorious streak has seen us crush opponents and regain first spot therefore becomming the champions of division 2.1 and thus gaining promotion to the top tier of Irish football.
For all lower league managers who want to try and emulate my great success I have one thing for you. A piece of knowledge which I gained from Dennis Pagen's motivational masterpiece entitled "the secrets of champions". To paraphrase ~
the true secret of success is to adjust for the wind, ebbs and flows, hot air pockets and storm clouds. Some are your friend and some your enemy- Take this by its litteral meaning and you will succeed my friends.

So what has Shout FC got in store for the LOI? A never surrender attitude and talent to boot. When the Russian's were marching on Berlin did the great german people surrender! Never, and nor shall Shout FC. I still have a surprise for the fans, I am looking at one new recruit to bolster my midfield. But time remains a constant worry. I have also been told that some funds may be taken away from my disposal to expand facilities for the new season, something which doesn't best please me, but which I knew would be coming.
Next season I have set realistic goals, I want survival as the priority, but once achieved I want to see a push for the invasion of European football!
Victory shall be ours once again, maybe not in the near future but in the not to distant future I assure you there shall be cups at Shout Park
For now, go raibh mile sile
Regards
Herr Mann.
