Bolton Wanderers' hunt for a 10th successive Premier League title - aka La Decima - had begun in near-perfect fashion, drawing just one of their first 18 games heading into 2045.

Soviet Surge Part 21 | Shakhtar Donetsk #1: A Jousse-y Start to Life in Ukraine
After success in winning the national title in six of the 13 target countries in his Soviet Surge journey, Russian manager Vladimir Latunov landed one of the biggest managerial roles in Eastern Europe in the summer of 2030.
Rossoneri | Part 6: Relentlessly Good Form
Having made a flying start to our Serie A title defence, it was interrupted by a mid-season break while players went off to the Winter World Cup in Qatar.
Roth Raivers | Part 23: Real Madrid v Raith Rovers
Robí di Lathamé was enjoying a delicious, undoubtedly extremely expensive glass of Rioja deep in the bowels of the majestic Santiago Bernabeú. And he couldn't help but reflect on how quickly things had changed.

This Journeyman save has certainly been an interesting adventure. Having started out as a mission to rebuild Sporting Lisbon that immediately delivered massive success, we then went on to rebuild Valencia, fail at Cagliari, bring glory back to Dortmund and Man City.

The Journeyman | BVB: Part 1 – Braganca Reunion

The Journeyman | Cagliari Calcio: Part 7 – Unbelievable Events
