Diary of a manager. Season 4 - Day 4 - Black Wednesday.

[July Fourth]

Since when has DAY 4 of the season been known as 'Black Wednesday'

I have always called DAY 14 and DAY 15 of a season (Saturday and Sunday) as 'Middle Weekend' Since its the middle of the league season coming up (Round 12 and Round 13) and your Cup and CL competitions move into the later stages.

Alternatively

DAY 7 and DAY 8 = First Weekend
DAY 21 and DAY 22 = Third Weekend
DAY 28 and DAY 1 = Update Weekend

Saying that mind... We had a bit of a Black Wednesday ourselves...

Our Youth player arrives this morning and we were looking for a DEFENDER or MC and turns out to be a DMR/MR a position we didn't need, we were going to train this player to 7* and give a SA but when you don't get the position you need, youth player goes in the bin.

We got a scout update and finally a good scout appeared on the list and guess what? he is a striker and I don't need a new striker.

We also got 3 players injured in total today (1 in friendly, 2 in competitive match) BUT we got an important 1-0 away win at our biggest challengers in the league this season today.
