Well here are my signings for season 2, Mascherano (DM) and Srna (WBR) hoping these will help me push to win something.

And whilst i'm here what are the rules on moving clubs in these ere challenges? just wondering as AC Milan have offered me the job and i'm not sure if i'm allowed to move or even if i want to move really!! Getting quite fond of Palermo.

If you took the AC Milano job, it would defeat the purpose of Palermo challenge though!

I am quite slow and still in season 1. Will get alot of FM played when escaping from family relatives over the festive period though!

S2, and thanks to winning last 5 games on trot (after disastrous run), I pipped Milan for 8th place (again!).

Not sorted my S3 lineups, but having found a tactic that seems to work (fingers crossed), looking forward to the new season.

Few players unhappy now though, promised Grosso I would sell him at end of S2, Makinwa deal been arranged to go to Sampdoria for £10m.

Bonnani, and Accardi also agitating for moves elsewhere.

Feck sake! First 5 fixtures of Season 3 - A v Lazio, A v Juve, H v Roma, H v Inter, A v Milan - nice easy start

Came out of all that with 5 pts and in 13th place, hopefully now to hit a roll and move up the table.

Signings for S3 have been -

GK Marco Amelia from Livorno for £7m
AM/F C Halil Altintop from Kaiserslautern for £10.75m
D C Sebastien Squillaci from Monaco for £11.75m

season 1 - mid table poor showing

season 2 - got as high as 6th but now 10th in table


from signings above :-

GK Marco Amelia available on a free from Livorno
AM/F C Halil Altintop looks class and valued at just 2.8m in my game
D C Sebastien Squillaci from Monaco valued at 2.3m in my game and average.

sadly I have blown my money on increased wages so can only dream of having the likes of Halil Altintop in my Palermo roster.

Just after New Year in S3.

Went on a good run since aformentioned tought start to season, and sitting pretty (in pink?) in 3rd place after 17 matches, with 31 pts.

Inter romping league with 43 pts, closely followed by Sampdoria on 39 pts. Then I lead a pack down to 7th place all within 3 pts of one another.

Knocked backed offers of Parma and Lazio jobs so far.

Caracciola really fulfilling his potential so far this season 17 goals in 17 starts.

3 signings all faring well too.

Bonnani and Grosso both have deals to leave at season end (just aswell as they would have went for nowt on Bosmans, Bonnani £10m to Juve, and Grosso £3.6m to Milan).

Lined up 2 guys for S4 already:-

DM C Benoit Pedretti from Lyon for £3.4m
AM/F C Carlos Tevez from Corinthians for £15m (pipped Milan to his signing!)

End of season 3: finished 4th in serie A. Yet again !

Was offered Lazio job, and then Roma with 30M to spend - but declined ofcourse.

Then Portugal offered me part-time manager role and I accepted. Next thing I knew I am having to play endless Portugal under23 games in the Olympics as I had overlooked to appoint an assistant! Squad had just 9 players highlighted to choose from but got some decent results.

Figo & Rui Costa in as coaches and Manicove from Inter as my Portugal assistant.

Back at Palermo, a dreadful pre season was followed by an opening day 4-4 draw with lowly Livorno.

Season 4 signings so far:-
Aythami DC/DM from Porto £6m
Jiri Jarosik DM from Chelsea for £6m
Halil Altintop AMC from Kaiserslautern for £15m

loaned in Alberto Gilardino ST who has been very poor.

Palermo Board expect me to challenge for title and my odds were given as 16/1

Commish is FM King!

3 4th places in a row is impressive going.

Reckon 3rd place that ALO got, and 4th by Commish is highest Palermo may be able to go.

How about an update on the Champions League performances Commish?

How about an update from ALO post S1?

How about updates of any kind from ELG and QP?

C'mon guys this is a good challenge, let's see how long we can get it going for.

An updates of any kind from QP?

Well had a lot of free time over Christmas so I am now in close season ahead of 3rd stint in charge.

On season 1 - was 5th in league table

On season 2 - was 7th in league table

The local Council keep blocking stadium expansion and I don't know how to generate increase in revenue income.

Signings - from memory - Christian Lahn DC, Brian Gilmour DM, & Yilidrum AMC from Heereenven.
After Pablo Vitti and Sergio Aguero from Independiente.

Sorry guys, had to do the whole family xmas thing, danmed inconsiderate of them i thought!!

But i have just finished season 2 and done very well indeed, even if i do say so myself.

Signings were Srna and Mascherano who both fitted in and player very well.

Won Serie A Title
Runner up in the Italian Cup, lost to Milan in the final
Only reached 1st KO round of Champions league where Lyon took me out

Anyway, i'm enjoying this one, on to season 3!!

Pre season 3 just been offered the Czech Republic job, took it of course, would have been rude not to!

Hats off, no way I can get near that for sure!

I thought I was doing excellently, sitting in 5th place with 6 matches left in S3.

Caracciola has been out for last 4 months after his superb run!

And now Altintop out for 2-3 months means he also is missing run in.

Leaves me only youth strikers to try to clinch a CL spot.....

What did you do to Makinwa? He's been banging them in for me.

That is what happened to him!!

Tevez will give me my 3rd striker for S4 anyway.

Finished 5th in S3 - UEFA spot is mine.

Balisteri and Tripoli from youth team managed to provide goals to get me there!

Arrr right yeah now i see! Tevez is an awesome signing, shouldnt have any problems getting goals with him knocking about.

My signings for season 3 are Sivok (DM), Iniesta (MC) and Ochoa (GK)
