The fact that assistant managers in Football Manager 2009 are pretty stupid is no longer a surprise – after all, if they don’t have the skills, they can’t speak right. The same can be said about my assistant manager, a guy I will probably quite employing when his contract runs out.

Until then, Mr. Bertolani considers that, because of some good performances followed by praise from the fans, my star midfielder Jacinto Navarro will suffer. Hopefully he was wrong!
