Having miraculously survived a season at Eintracht Frankfurt, Laurent Legrande (Tom) has received the boot a mere three games in to the next season. With the Frankfurt board finally delivering a well-deserved coup de grace to Legrande's tenure.

After which Laurenr took taken some time away from the game. With an aborted move to Palermo falling through, due to a last minute check from the club running his name on Interpol's most wanted. (Or, was it that Tom hadn't realised that Italy and Germany don't share a border?)

After all this, Legrande has finally received another chance, with a move to Stade Rennais coming to fruition. Will he make the same mistakes as Frankfurt, or will he learn from his previous failings? With a similar foundation to start from, it could go either way. So what is next for Legrande in an up and down managerial career?

Whilst Albert Wiseman's (Lewis) FCSB, have had an excellent start to the season. Currently, performing as one of the best sides in the Romanian top flight. Will this success continue to flow throughout the season, or will things nose dive with a midseason fixture flurry?

Laurent Legrande (Tom) has somehow survived a season at Frankfurt, having been called into the board room with regularity. With super-subs and last minute miracles, enabling him to narrowly avoid the sack on numerous occasions. Will his ambitious youthful rebuild of the side finally pay dividends with an off-season for it all to bed in? Or will his challenging target of 11 points from 15 prove too much for a manager who seems to have 9 lives with the Frankfurt board?

Now comfortably settled-in in Romania, what is next for Wiseman (Lewis) and his rejuvenated FCSB side? Is a title challenge calling, or are things going to turn on a dime, and a slide down the league follow? And what does the summer transfer market bring, and will Wiseman be able to restrain his spending to not put the club into red?

All will be revealed about Legrande's fate, and so much more in Episode 13 of WUADOF's European Jailbreak.

Laurent Legrande's (Tom) first season at Eintracht Frankfurt is coming to an end, and he's doing a solid if unspectacular job. It's been steady going to the end of the season. Will they get European Football? Will the promised transfer bonanza come to pass? And what is next for Legrande in his tenure at Frankfurt?

Having leapt from CSA Steau Bucharest to arch rivals Fotball Club FCSB, Albert Wiseman (Lewis) is starting to figure things out in his new surroundings. However, with the biggest budget since AEK Athens, and an owner who is not know for patience, will Wiseman do another Tilykratis and splash the cash rashly? Or will he figure out how to put the right pieces together to get FCSB moving in the right direction?

All we can say is buckle up your seatbelts for a belting Episode 12 of WUADOF's European Jailbreak.

Laurent Legrande (Tom) has just undergone a huge move. Having narrowly missed out on a playoff place with SV Waldhof, the summer transfer window came and went and he remained at the club. However, having guided SV Waldhof positively in the league until January to a comfortable 6th place, Eintracht Frankfurt came calling. And with an offer that good on the table, and with Champions League football still in play, Legrande couldn't refuse. What's next for Legrande in his first partial season at the club? Will things be plain sailing, or will his European dream turn into a nightmare?

Whilst at Albert Wiseman's CSA Steaua Bucureşti, jubilation at winning Romania's Liga II and earning promotion to the Superliga, hasn't lasted long. With the reality dawning of the serious uphill challenge staring the team straight in the face, and with no wins at all this season, things are looking grim. However, Wiseman, like the con artist he is, has been offered a lifeline to escape. The price however is steep, crossing over to the other club that claims Steau Bucharest's iconic champions league winning legacy, Fotbal Club FCSB. Will the fraudster gain a conscience, or will he jump like a rat from a sinking ship?

The answers to these questions will be revealed in Episode 11 of WUADOF's European Jailbreak.

At SV Waldhof Laurent Legrande (Tom) is looking to the future with positivity. As his Waldhof side are riding high heading into the winter break. Having successfully navigated the the step up to Bundesliga 2 in a fairly straightforward fashion, with only a few bumps along the way. However, will things stay as straightforward as they are as he heads toward the pointy end of the season, or will the inexperience at this level begin to tell?

Whilst at CSA Steaua Bucureşti, Albert Wiseman (Lewis) has found himself in the midst of a financial crisis. With the club's relegation from the Romanian Superliga impacting the balance sheet. With players being sold left right and centre, and wages being slashed to halt the bleeding- how will this translate on the pitch? Will Wiseman's decision to abandon wingers, and focus on the core of young home grown central midfielders pay dividends? Or, will their lack of experience show when it matters the most?

Plans are being made, and potential futures calculated, all whilst the day-to-day needs to be taken care of. It's another slice of Legrande and Wiseman's world in Episode 9 of WUADOF's European Jailbreak.

After a thrilling end to his first season in Germany, Laurent Legrande (Tom) finds himself promoted. With his SV Waldhof side successfully making it out of Bundesliga 3 at the first time of asking. However, the work is far from over, as several of the key players from last year's promotion winning side have moved on to pastures new. Will he find the right players to keep the side in a new division? And how will the notoriously stubborn manager with his attacking style of play, find life at the next level up? Especially, as SV Waldhof's wage budget is the lowest in the league.

Whilst in Bulgaria, Albert Wiseman (Lewis) has turned Krumovgrad's season around. Having shifted to a 4-2-3-1, he has managed to get the best out of his two star players- Preslav Bachev, and the talismanic central attacking midfielder Dimitar Kostadinov. The end result was a surge up the league from 13th to 4th. Can Wiseman keep this momentum going at the end of the Bulgarian Preliminary phase? And is there a chance that the Champions Playoff, and even potentially European Qualification might be beckoning?

All will be revealed in Episode 8 of WUADOF's European Jailbreak.
