stuartuk75 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 End of Season Update - 09/10 BSP Boreham Wood Not a bad season, I was never in any danger of relegation, or promotion. Just mid table all season long finally finishing in 12th place. I signed a lot of players permanently this season which was my main aim after relying on loans far too much the previous year. I really want to push for promotion next season now i'm established in the BSP. When I started this challenge I figured an average of 2-3 seasons at each level. I guess i'll see if I can maintain that aim in time. League Table Squad Transfers Profile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mag man Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Mag Man - Tonbridge Angels - 10/11 I hadnt played much with my Margate team due to lack of time so with the patch i thought i would start again. It turns out I holidayed for 3 seasons rather than 2 as i mentioned earlier. By doing this a few random teams have popped up!!! I was hoping for Maidstone United but reloaded so many times and never got them so went with Tonbridge Angels as there still local and i know people who used to play for them. Profile Picture Dafuge let me know if its ok play with these, they follow the criteria but I have holidayed for longer just to see what comes up.

leth4l87 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 just a quick question.. I have been in league one for 2 years and now heading for promotion. But I can only have 2 scouts my board wont allow more and cant scout outside united kingdom.. is there a way to improve that or it is only improved by gaining promotions??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurs1979 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 SSC, my advice to you at this stage is trial as many as you can. Don't expect to be able to get staff members in who are awesome because well there are few. Just go for 1 year contracts for people who can do a job for you. At least then you can start to scout & have a realistic view on who may be interested in signing for you. Scour the top tier teams & who they released in the summer as you can pick a few players who have potential to be league one players for nothing & they're a good base to start your squad with. My main piece of advice is ensure your strikers & midfielders have alot of pace, this is key for creating chances as they'll pick up lots of loose balls in & around the centre circle. If you can get a parent club & take a few loans on it's a big help, to be honest everyone has there favourite players but there are literally hundreds who can do the job for you & it's entirely upto you to decide who you want to use. Good luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that when you get to the Championship you'll be allowed to scout Europe and hopefully have more staff. Have you tried to hire more scouts? Soometimes the board say you cna only have a small number of staff but you can in fact get 1 or 2 more if you're lucky. mag man That is a valid team. When asked before about being sacked and then taking a newly promoted team with no BSN/BSS experience dafuge said it was OK. Hopefully you kept a savegame of Tonbridge Angels from just before you took over, I suspect that a couple of other people would be interested in the save.

BluesBot Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Bluesbots Halesowen Challenge 2010/11 And so Halesowen have finally achieved promotion from the BSN after finishing 1st. Table 10/11 The Yeltz managed to finish a massive 29 points above their nearest rivals - a season which was helped by a influx of loan signing form new parent club Birmingham City although the manager was pleased that it was his own tactics that helped them win the title. Originally manager Bluesbot was against having so many loanees but having played and lost to Nuneaton early in the season the manager was shocked to see that Nuneaton themselves had 10 loan stars at the time and by the end of the season had loaned a massive 25 players throughout the season. Halesowen Squad Halesowen kept trust in the staff that had mostly been there from the 1st season under Bluesbot Staff And all of them have been asked to contine for the following season Bluesbot has also shown his skill in the transfer market by getting players for mostly free spendung just 19k whilst amassing a very respectable 425k in return. Transfers in/out A superb run in the FA trophy also saw Bluesbot lead his side to the final against BSP side Southport It looked to be in the bag with Halesowen leading 2-1 with 88mins played, However Southport equalised to take the tie into extra time where they scored the deciding goal early on tropy final BSN Team Stats BSN Players Stats As for next season it will be a tough one especially due to the loan restrictions and signings will have to be made to ensure the clubs BSP survival. Money should not be too much of an issue the club has a balance of 425k with another 100k due to the sale of midfielder Anthony Bruce to MK dons. Signings from the 1st season Serge Makofo and Totti continue to play a major role in the clubs success, however time could be up for Shane Paul who is the only member of the side still to be at the club from before Bluesbots tenure. Bluesbot has also signed a contract to continue managing the club until 2015 Attendances at Halesowen rose from 703 to 707 on average which is something the club needs to look at during the coming season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurs1979 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I might holiday 24 months & see if I can get some unused teams up for people to try, probably not today though as I'm halfway through my first season sitting top of the league & playing really well.

Gilbster Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Somehow I have survived my board takeover (it was just a director becoming chairman) and asked in December about a parent club. Have to say I like my new chairman, he came back with a choice of Stevenage or Crystal Palace, and obviously I have chosen Palace. Just into January and the mighty Hemel Hempstead are up to 8th in the BSS with a vary international looking squad (only 5 English).

ToMexico!! Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 well another season passes by and King's Lynn are starting to look a more together team. With just over half a dozen transfers in i looked to strengthen the back line in what was to be a tough first season in the Blue Square Premiership. Getting a prolific striker was a priority but never happened, my parent club Norwich sold Martin and would not loan back either of Campbell or Renton after i had made them into goal scoring successes in the previous season. So i was left with just about this squad apart from the likes of Reid, Schwarz, Hilton, Gailbraith, Grant and Wright as they are this seasons signings so far. I have since terminated my link with Norwich and my board provided Charlton as my new parent club. As i said it would be a struggle this season and tipped to finish 24th/24..i set my sights on achieving the avoid relegation prediction, thus giving me just over 5.5k a week to spend on wages. The season was a bit patchy and we never rose above 12th, with a good start, a mediocre middle and a poor season finale saw us drop to 16th. Not a bad start i think. My finances exceeded my expectation dramatically which in one month saw me take just over 200k profit. So i'm sitting pretty in the finance department but my board still won't give me a transfer budget for next season, i may haggle to drop my wage bill to get me some cash to bring in the elusive prolific striker i desperately need.
