Jake Rubin's Never-ending Quest to Dethrone the Giants of Football
World Class Manager Jake Rubin, the best managerial talent to come to world football from the United States resigned as the everything man at Worldwide Reputation Doncaster. Rubin had taken Doncaster from League 1 to the Premier League and beyond. Doncaster's meteoric rise through the English Football Pyramid was a feat never seen as Rubin revamped their facilities from park bench to park place. He pulled the strings to a historic septuple in the 2027/28 season winning the; Community Shield, European Super Cup, Capital One Cup, Club World Championship, FA Cup, Premier League and Champions League in the span of 10 months.

Rubin's row with plastic surgery tycoon John Ryan was well publicized. Ryan refused repeated pleas to build a new stadium and capitalize on the club's massive reputation. Rubin left the cupboards stocked with talent at the deteriorating Keepmoat Stadium. From first team to youth team the coffers were filled with supremely talented players and every manager in Europe was licking their chops for a chance to pull the Donny strings.
Rubin was hampered in a small town, with a limited fanbase; and during his time away from management as a TV analyst for Sky Sports he vowed to make a triumphant return at a "bigger" club in the near future. Meanwhile Donny continued to dominate domestically and on the continent breaking a sesquicentennial record of four Premier Division titles on the trot, while repeating a historic three peat of Champions Cup titles, bringing their decade of dominance to a close with 6 Premier League and Champions Cup trophies.

Rubin approached Birmingham City F.C. at the beginning of October 2029 as the board had just dismissed their manager. The club was in financial tatters - relying heavily on loaned players and bank loans to stay afloat in the Blue Square Premier league. He is on a reported 250 quid a week a massive pay cut from his previous 100,000 a week at Doncaster. However he has invested wisely and reportedly made 15,000,000 during his one year at Sky Sports as everyone's favorite personality on Monday Night Football.
During his first year Rubin was able to remove the deadwood and went on a 4 match winning streak at the end of the season to avoid relegation nightmare. Armed with a zero pound transfer budget, and a 10,000 per week wage budget Rubin is starting from near bottom with Brum - hoping to spark a revival in his first full season in charge at the club.

As boxing day approaches, Rubin's Blues sit at fourth in the BSP, hoping to escape the Rat's Nest that is England's second lowest division in the Football League Pyramid. Based on his track record, the club's finances will be reigned in and with the potential fanbase in the Second City; St. Andrew's will be packed to the brim in no time. We will check back in at the end of the season with an update.

Until then we wish Rubin the very best in his quest to have a world class stadium that will help slingshot his club to the top of the world.
