Last time out I wrote about our heroics of finishing 2nd<\/sup> in the A-League which was something that I wouldn\u2019t have imagined in my wildest of dreams. I knew that as I finished 2nd<\/sup> in the league with Wellington who were a side who were destined to perform poorly and finish bottom I would be getting job offers and there was one job which I had my eyes upon. That job was the hot seat at Melbourne City F.C. who won the league last season and have a bucket load of money because they are backed by the City group.<\/p>\n Guess what happened on the first day of the transfer window the Melbourne City boss resigned from the position and I quickly went into the job center. There I was the favorite for the job and I obviously applied for it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The interview!<\/strong><\/p>\n They offered me an interview and the contract soon followed-<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I was absolutely delighted and I took the job. Some might say that why did I leave Wellington after doing such a good job or so I think with them? The aim with this journeyman as I have mentioned before isn\u2019t to build a legacy at a club it\u2019s to go around the world and become one of the best football managers. And to do that I would have to win the league and as a result Melbourne City seemed like the perfect destination for me to step in.<\/p>\n History<\/strong><\/p>\n As mentioned above that Melbourne are a part of the City group which owns Manchester City, Melbourne City F.C. and New York City F.C. Melbourne are a pretty new club being formed only in 2009. They have a fierce rival in Melbourne Victory one of the more cultured clubs in Australia. Being a part of the City group there aren\u2019t any problems with the finances and the facilities are also phenomenal.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Squad<\/strong><\/p>\n The squad that I have inherited is from the manager who won Melbourne the league and to be honest it is one of the best so far in the series. As always I will be taking you through some of the better players in the squad.<\/p>\n All of these 4 look really nice and the best part about them is that all of them are 24 or under which gives quite a bit of youth to this side as mentioned with the great youth facilities for this level.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Team Report<\/strong><\/p>\n Like with every club I bring you some of the strengths and weaknesses that this club has so I will be taking you through the ones of Melbourne too-<\/p>\n Strengths-<\/em><\/p>\n Weaknesses-<\/em><\/p>\n Follow My Blog<\/strong><\/p>\n Hi if you enjoyed this do follow me on Twitter and Slack to get to know more behind the scenes about my save.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last time out I wrote about our heroics of finishing 2nd in the A-League which was something that I wouldn\u2019t have imagined in my wildest of dreams.
