Fans can hope to diminish their distant memories of their European success in the mid 80s as former Sunday league player Thomas Gilroy has took over at the helms of Steaua Bucharest. This has come as a great shock to the supporters as they have so long pleaded for a big manager to come in. Gilroy is in for a tough task straight away, however he is unfazed by this pressure stating, ‘my dream is to make this club as big as it used to be, it may take time and a great deal of hard work but I intend to get this club back into the dizzy heights of the Champions League.’ Thomas also went on to say he will be looking to bring in the best possible players available to the club. The new era has come, and it’s time to move on.

Gilroy has only made on signing into bucharest and that is the one of Ali Karimi from Persepolis for a fee of 2.2 million. Karimi, the former Bayern player is thought to be very exciting at the prospect of many years at the club. He will wear the number 7 shirt.

Pre- Season Results
Cannes 0-3 Steaua (Karimi 3)
Angers 0-0 Steaua
St Ettiene 4-1 Steaua (Nicolita)
Stade De Rems 1-0 Steaua
Maccabi Tel Aviv 0-0 Steaua
Sportul 1-2 Steaua (Baciu, Stancu)

Managers Thoughts- Overall quite a poor pre season, we got off to a magnificent start. However we failed to win our next 4 which I believed were games we would certainly be hoping to win. However after a good end we hope to continue that into the season and be gratefull that these matches dont matter!
 
good luck mate. I'll try to follow as much as I can. Is that all of your transfer budget gone on one player?
 
nice one mate.. .always liked story about eastern european clubs . keep it up :)

I meant in real life..
 
Transfer Update- Steaua have completed the signing of Sebastian Blanco, an Argentine with 1 cap to his name, for a fee of 2.9 million pounds. We also signed Brazilian youngster Marcelinho for a 2million deal with a few players leaving for various clubs. The summer spending is now over as Gilroy believes his squad is good enough for compete.

Was a very poor game in truth, we scraped it, and i mean scraped it! It gives a great advantage taking them back to Romania with an away goal

Really disapointed with this result. We made alot of chances, but we couldn't convert

A decent result against a good side. We pushed them but unfortunatly we couldn't make the breakthrough, no doubt we will be going home as the happiest of the two sides

Fantastic! The lads were on fire today!

Absolutly brilliant vintage display. We played a side who had success in this league last year, and we bettered them everywhere. It took a penalty to win us the game but Karimi slotted it home for our first win of the season

Although we won the game, we were disappointed by only scoring 1 goal. However, we go away from home with an advantage

Fantastic result, very nervy display however. Going 3-0 up and then with them pulling it back left me nervous. However we were very professional in our approach and managed to hold on. We will now be looking at the europa league group stage draw without fear.

After a poor start and twice going behind in the match, we were in the end delighted to win. 3 brilliant goals got us back in it. It was nice to see Marcelinho on the scoresheet. Karimi was on international in this game, it was really promising to see Sebastian Blanco come into his position with a good performance
 
Gilroy won manager of the month after taking Steaua to the top of the Romanian league. Can he keep it up?

We edged the game, and the result showed this. Lucky, but nethertheless 3 points in the bag
View attachment 57974
We kicked off our group campaign in a disappointing fashion, I honestly expected 3 points and after leading early on I thought we would hold on!

How did this go to penalties? Shocking finishing, thats why!


Well its been a good steady start however, we could certainly play better. This is what the league table stands at.

Awful game, shocking display. We were lucky to go away with a 0-0

We were totally outclassed all over the pitch today, we have to play better than this or europe or results like this will be more common

Finally we got ourselves together. Vintage Steaua, never doing it the easy way, but we got the 3 points and thats what matters.

The scoreline flattered the other side in a game we were favourites going into. We should have really beaten these. Although we are not getting beat, we arent playing well
 
Good luck, you can ask me anything cause I am Romanian. ;)

Our first defeat of the season. For most the match we looked the most likely, however they got through it and unfortunatly went above us in the league. Lets hope this doesnt become a habit

Terrible performance, losing on penalties (however for some reason we ended up going through to the quarter finals :S) We live to fight another day, lets take this as a scare.

Big european match, we were once again disappointing. This year will not be our year in europe, but we will be playing for pride over the next two games
View attachment 58503
Exactly what we needed, a win, we really grinded out this result. Not until a late goal did we look like taking 3 points. What a relief!
View attachment 58504
We couldnt capatalise from our win and slipped up in a massive derby game. Really dissapointed to lose this game, but its only one match.
View attachment 58505
Now thats more like it! Semi finals here we come!
View attachment 58506
Held on after an early goal, once again another good defensive display. We take our place back at the top of the league

What a memorable european night! Fantastic result. This will be the highlight of the season for sure. Absolutly brilliant display, although we cant qualify we certainly made a great account for ourselves

Managers thoughts- Overall a up and down month. With brilliant wins, and some extremely disappointing defeats. However we sit top of the league and can only get better
