SnakeXe Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Just signed a player for £1 So much more satisfying than picking someone up on a free.Coming towards the final 10 games of the season now, starting to get really hopeful that we can keep our play-off place. Can just imagine, you're sat in the other manager's office, you conlude the deal, shake hands, then you go to leave. *Ahem* "Yes...?

roseboy64 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Boston United - Season 7 - Premiership - 2016/2017 Media Prediction - 5th Final Position - 1st FA Cup - Winners Carling Cup - Winners Europa - Finalists League Table Position Graph Transfers Finances Manager Profile Manager Personal Got off to a horrible start in the league. Took me a few rounds to find my feet and allow the team to gel. Found it though and managed to get into the Champions League places. At the turn of the year I was challenging for the title. Down the stretch I had a cluster of fixtures due to being in different comps but pulled off the necessary results to win the league after the second to last game. Had a slight tweak to the tactics and improved performances a bit to help. In the cups I surpassed expectations and managed to get to the win the FA Cup. Beat Arsenal to get my first hold of the trophy. In the Carling Cup I had a nice run and went to the Final. Beat Aston Villa again to get a repeat of the trophy. In Europe I played Villa again in the UEFA Final. Close game but they just edged us on pens. Nice little run and highlighted by a 7-0 trashing of Depotivo. Also had a 4-1 win over Juventus after being beaten in the 1st leg of the Semi. Made a few nice transfers this year. The signings contributed well. Key among them was Taison. Also got in a new CB partnership in Morais and Gueye. Moving on the former though to get in a much better younger CB, 20yo IIRC. His scout report sees him being up for the big matches so that's nice. Donoso also played well as LB or RB. Kalinin did well on the right wing but he's much better in the centre. Gonna bring in another winger. Adebayor did a great job for me. Chipped in with a good amount of goals. Bolat was awesome between the posts. Hargreaves and Quaresma contributed well. Cuevas is a bit of a tricky situation and may move him on. The club is now rated as Continental. I am a World Class manager. Also, am now one of the two legends of the club. New stadium named after the other on though as he was there before me. Half of the challenge completed.

Terk Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Canvey Island Blue Square South 2013/14 Well, given that the board were expecting a season of mid-table obscurity, I think they will be pretty happy with what we achieved. Blue Square South The best defensive record in the league says something about our season, we built a very solid base and were very consistent throughout the campaign. As you can see from the league position graph, we were in and around the play-off places for the whole season, though despite a brief period of stunning form in the first half of the season we never looked remotely like claiming the title. Nevertheless, we comfortably finished fourth and booked a play-off semi final against Farnborough. Our spot in the final was sorted when we won the first leg 5-1, a second leg 1-1 draw just a mere formality. The final was against Ebbsfleet, who had collapsed in the final fifteen games from a comfortable lead, and we went ahead three times, eventually claiming the win that saw us promoted to the Blue Square Premier. FA Cup A good run in this, my first to the opening round of the tournament proper, was massively helpful to the cashflow, especially as our game against Colchester was picked up for TV coverage. The win against Wrexham was a real high point of the season, and to be honest I was glad that we eventually lost after a strong showing against Colchester as it would mean less disruption to our fixture list in the second half of the season. FA Trophy We stuffed Grays 6-1 in the 3rd qualifying round before being on the wrong end of a 3-1 scoreline against Gateshead in the 1st round. At least we reached the minimum target though. Transfers It was a case of getting a lot of players through the door this season, although the fact that some of them didn't work out meant that the squad was a little bloated (though still below wage budget) by the end of the campaign. My first signing for a decent fee, Ismail Yakubu at £3,500, was a big hit but the most satisfying was paying £1 for Jim Gordon from Brentford, and seeing him make a big difference to our promotion push. Key Players Undoubtedly our #1 player this season was striker James Foster. We picked him up on a free transfer after he was released by BSP side Crawley and his return of twenty-one goals and thirteen assists was a big reason why we did well. He proved to have a knack of scoring in 1-0 wins, and that level of importance saw him shortlisted for the BSS Player of the Season award. My favourite player from last year, Mark Hartmann had another good season, but a two month injury gap coincided with a real loss of form for us and I hope he can make the step up in division next season. Jim Gordon proved to be a good late season signing whilst Ismail Yakubu was worth each of the £3,500 I paid for him. Kyle Wilson was at times disappointing after his move from Havant & Waterlooville, but he started scoring regularly in the final third of the season, and his captaincy was vital throughout; the team performed far better with him around no matter what his level of performance was. The one player who continued to surprise me was goalkeeper Jeet Padaruth, brought in as a last option at the beginning of last season he has established himself well and truly as our #1 and fought off competition from four other goalkeepers who have been brought in during that time. Twenty nine clean sheets in seventy-nine league games for the youngster speak volumes about him. Next Season Stay up. Please for **** sake just stay up. Losing a bit less cash would be nice as well. The FA Cup run helped with the finances this year, but we still leaked money overall, just to a considerably smaller degree than last season. Career Overview Season League Final Pos.

Hoffenheim - Sampdoria 92" 0-0 Lille - Guiseley 92" 1-1 ... Hoffenheim - Sampdoria 93" 0-0 Lille - Guiseley 93" 1-2 (means we are 2nd in the group!!!!) ..

roseboy64 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Holy hell, roseboy, that is some seriously quick progress Leveraged the future of the club by spreading payments but it's brought in quality and with decent tactics it's allowed for success. Plus , I leave most games to the Ass Man to manage, take over if a bad run develops and tweak a few things and back on we go. Also, frees are awesome if you're lucky. Oh and TBH, the Championship was the biggest surprise. I didn't think I had the requisite strength of players but I walked it. The leagues further down though, as I said above frees regardless of age allowed me to build squads of similar quality to the top teams in the divisions. Have to be ruthless and ship people out even if they were great the season before. Takes a while for the team to gel but as promotion is the aim, 'tis necessary.

He started of really great at midfield, but now after 6 months Manchester City make a bid of € 35M + 15% profit. I do think it is a great offer and maybe I should do it and buy another player for less but I am gonna reject it. I think Cristiano can become a club legend.

jack_man Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Truro - BSS - 2010-11 Media prediction: 18th (League table) Actual finish: 12th (Can't find league positions graph?) FA Cup: 4th qualifying round FA Trophy: First Round Transfers Finances Very grim losses Disappointing season overall, really wanted a good cup run but was knocked out by a lower league team (Cleveden) and played abysmal in both legs and they deserved to go through. We did start well but but faded and started conceding more stupid goals. I'll take the blame for not doing better for playing some bizarre formations and signing some dreadful players. Although I signed loads of players I was always under my wage budget by about £2.5K. Just looking through my squad now and no-one had an excellent season worth posting, most just got solid rating throughout with the odd shocker thrown in. Next season Have been given a wage budget of £6K (currently spending £4.7K) so have got room to play with. The bookies have given me 40-1 to go up but I don't think I'd be putting money on myself but really do need play-offs at least!

Rattlesnake_85 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Season 1 - Bedford Town - BSN - 2010/2011 Media Prediction - 22nd Actual Position - 8th (Table) - (Positions Graph) - (Results 1/Results 2) Review of Season:With the aim being to avoid relegation, Im glad we managed to achieve this and more. By the half way mark it looked like a mid table finish would be the best we could hope for. However, with a few good results here and there and a strong final ten games, a play-off spot looked on the cards. But 2 draws in the final games, with one coming against Fleetwood (our main rival for the final play-off spot) our hopes of contesting the play-offs were diminished. They went on to gain promotion. Cups: Fa Cup: Was pleased to make it as far as we did. Gave a good account of ourselves against better opposition. Board was pleased. Fa Trophy: The Board told us to enjoy the experience of participating. I took this oppertunity to give first team players a rest and give the others a game or two. Transfers: Not the complete overhaule I had anticipated as I decided to give most players a chance and more players came in than out. The loan signings were great and I wonder if I had them for the whole season how different the final table could have been. Finances: Not great but not unusual at this level Squad: I was pleased with how the players that were already at the club performed and they were better than alot of the players I brought in. Going to weed out the weaker players to make room for League 2/BSP freebies. Drew Rattlesnake_85 Key Player of the Year Award: Winner Runner-up *Both players were Bedford players before I arrived. They proved to me they have a part to play in my team. Aims for Next Season: I just need a few quality players to take us to that next level. Perhaps 5-6 new faces and I think I could make a push for promotion.
