Polska's journey to the top!

[MadDog]

Warta Poznan!


The Aim: To be the best team in Poland and hopefully break into Europe. I will also try and raise the reputation of the Polish leagues and national team. I will be trying to whizz through the seasons as quickly as possible so most games will be on just commentary as this project will take a fair few seasons to make progress in. I have loaded most of the key European leagues with about half of these being on view only. Anyway meet Mad Dog manager of Warta Poznan!



Who are they? Warta Poznan play in the second tier of Polish football and are predicted by the media to finish 8th, in real life for the 11/12 season they finished 10th. Wikipedia will fill you in on the rest - Warta Poznań is a football club based in Poznań, Poland. Founded in 1912, the club are two-time winners of the Polish Football Championship, in 1929 and 1947, but currently reside in the Polish First League. The name means the Guard in Polish and also a name of river Warta on which Poznań is located. The club also played in second level between 1951-1952 (2 seasons), 1956-1960 (5 seasons), 1970-1971, 1973-1975, 1977-1979, 1991-1993, 1995-1996, 1997-1998 and since 2007. They played in the top level last between 1993-1995.


Squad: All Polish! Will try and get some foreigners in as they will perhaps have more talent than the locals.


Here is our team report.


Here are he loanees already at the club.


Club information


STAR MAN Seems very good for this level


Current staff Will try and bring in a few of my own I expect.


Tactic Will try this out for now, it is a 442 diamond. Might change it if success doesnt follow with it. I will add a 5-2-2-1 for backup against stronger sides.

Now finally,
Board expectations- Top Half

My expectations - Top half, but I do have an inclination we can slightly outdo this.

I will do a pre-season update, mid season update and an end of season update for each season, let me know if you like the layout or if I should change it somehow, thanks!

Good luck with this.

All the best mate - not seen too many Polish threads on here so this should be interesting

[MadDog]

Thanks guys, it is tougher than it seems at the moment as I am finding it hard to be able to recruit any free agents who are good yet wanting to join us. It's a shame that foreign players don't seem to want to join us. I would certainly take top half right now!

Preseason

Didnt really go to plan tbh. We had to keep changing our formation and scraped 2 wins without any good performances. Not convincing at all.


Transfers- Really struggled here, I doubt any of these will be first teamers, I just couldn't find anyone willing to join us!
The pick of the bunch is this Lithuanian AM/ST

Oh well, let's crack on with the season!
