EAST EUROPEAN ASSAULT
I wanted to try something different and start a game with only east european leagues loaded, and i wanted to start a story on here of the day by day running of the club i chose Game Information : Leagues loaded; DB: Large  Austria,  Bulgaria,  Croatia,  Czech Rep,  Greece,  Hungary,  Poland  Romania,  Slovakia,  Slovenia,  Serbia,  Switzerland,  Turkey,  Ukranie Veiwable league Loaded :  Argentina. EAST EUROPEAN ASSAULT
After a Semi-Prossional career at St.Pats.Ath in Ireland, which was ended last year due to a bad knee injury at the age of only 29. My time at the club i picked up many tips on how to manage and i knew that i wasn't going to let this knee injury keep me out of the game altogether. So i when out to the F.A.I coaching courses and after a long 2 year course i recieved my European A coaching badge,i was fully qualified now to manage any club who would be mad enough to offer an 29 year old man with no manager exeperience to date.But i put my self out into the market as an adventagous young willing to learn manager. So i sat down in my house and sized up all my options, wondering where will i find a job! Then the next day i received a phone call, at first to be honest i though it was some kind of joke as i coulndn't understand what this man was saying, until he finished talking a new voice came on the line it was an english speaking slovenian translater,he told me that the man on the other line is a chairman from a club in Slovenia, After talking to the translater for about 30 mins, he told me that Tomaz Saloman (the chairman), believes that im the man to take his club forward. Tomaz Salomon Convinced me to join his club by laying out his dreams and expections on how far we could take his team,he also laid a nice €180 a week contract on the table. 
BREAKING NEWS
Drago Kostanjsek has been sacked from NK.KRSKO, Tomaz Salomon said in a quick press conference that Drago has been a good manager at the club and we thank him for all he has done at the club, But i think that its time to move on a bring in a new face to manage NK KRSKO. A man at the press conference taking notes for his story from a newspaper in slovenian shouted out at mr. Saloman " So who is this so call "New Face" that will be coming in to manage ur club" Mr Saloman Smile's and said " all will be revealed tomorow" 22-6-2007

 Sky Sports Reporter : We have Just got a report in on a live press conference in Krsko,where mr Salomon NK KRSKO chairman is about to announce the next manager to take over from Dargo Kostonjsek. And we can go live to the press conference in Krsko  Tomaz Salomon giving a press conference Mr Salomon : Thank u all for attending today's Press conference,as i said before we felt that Dargo done a good job here but it was time for him and us to move on, and we wish him well for the future.We felt that a new face is needed to add something different to the team and hopefully take this club to promotion in a few years time Press : Come on mr Salomon who is this so called "New Face" then? Mr Salomon : Ok, i have left u wondering for sometime now, after a number of phone calls and the expections that he wants to acheive at this club i feel that this is the only man to take us forward, i can happily say that our new manager is Graham Dowling, Sadly Graham is in ireland still but he will be flying to slovenia in a day or two to begin here job at NK Krsko Press : Graham Who? Are u sure that an unkown manager form Ireland with no experience of managing before can take ur club to 1.SNL in a few years? Mr Salomon : I have full confidence in his abailty to take us forward and hey everyone has to start somewhere and i fell this club is the best club for him to start his hopefully long managerial career. Press : We will just have to wait and see then  23-07-2007

So this is it, my big chance to show Nk Krsko and Slovenia what i can do as an manager, I went to Dublin airport and checked all my luggage in and i sat there looking out the windows waiting to see the big ass plane that Mr Saloman had got for me. He said i would be travelling first class to Krsko. After waiting there for a while i still didn't see the plane , until i heard over the airport speakers will "Graham Dowling please come to gate 7". This is it i thought to myself still looking out the windows for my plane. i reached gate 7 and went down the tunnel to board the plane, when i saw the plane i started laughing and said this has to be a wind up, but it wasn't here's my first class plane.  So i wasn't expecting this, 1st class as we know it is not the same as slovenia know it,this is 1st class to them. I was very dissapointed but i wasn't going to let that get to me, so on the trip over to slovenia i got taking to Herman (the pilot). He supports NK Krsko and he told me that some fans are not happy at and unkown manager who thinks he can walk into this club that easy.I new that i have to win over every one in slovenia if i wanted to be a top class manager.  so we touched down i slovenia and it has only sunk in now that this is my new home and i would be away from family and friends.It was only a short trip from the airport to NK Krsko. soon as i got there fans and press where outside cheering me on and i held a quick press conference and went up to my office to begin my work. 23-06-2007
