Took over Swansea. I knew I'd not really be able to finish too highly with the squad so I just targetted qualifying from the Europa League group and qualifying for next seasons Europa via one of the domestic cups.

I missed out on qualifying from my group thanks to that stupid head to head rule they have instead of goal difference



I managed two great cup runs but I was robbed by Brighton at the Amex by an 89th minute winner in the semi final of the league cup and then beaten by Sunderland in semi final of the FA Cup. Wrongly robbed of three trophys I was left to just secure Premier League safety, which was never in too much trouble thanks to Bony scoring 21 league goals and winning the golden boot.



No Europa League distraction this season so my full focus is on the league. Made some good signings in the summer but nothing major. Nyom is the only one that has been a consistent starter, but Kampl and Borini and finally coming good now after a tough start. Canales is always bloody injured. (and look at that lovely job status).



Table on the 1st January, and still have a bit of money to spend.
