kaNovi Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Im in a bit of a dilemma, help me out! On one side, i want to stay in boreham wood, and watch all the talented players who have been promoted from my acadamy. i want to make my whole team out of my young players. I also want to make the next "danny roberts". But on the other hand, im really tempted to start again in a minor club.. say i resign at the end of the season and pick up one of the promoted clubs to lead them all the way up again.. i dont really know what to do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbokav1971 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 kaNovi. I would say either stick with Boreham Wood or try another challenge like Gundo's challenge. Starting again seems a little pointless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaNovi Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 well, i dont think its pointless, i enjoy the lower leagues in england, and maybee the next club would actually make me a favorit personal ill might try another challenge later on, but for now i just cant get a game going (ive tried the evertonbloke challenge) last year i also did the gundo challenge, but i dont think it would ever give me as much enjoyment as this one. And another downside is im not happy with the grey issue, and i think its much more annoying in that challenge.. For now i want to keep going with my game, because i also enjoy playing the same game along time. Dont know if that made sense, its a long time since i had english in school Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty_8 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Kanovi, i would say you go to either a new club in the Blue Square (do whole challenge again) or go to a club who has gone the opposite way of you.

wisla_krakow Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Heh, now with just 4 shots on target I've stuffed League One Doncaster 4-0 in the FA Cup 2nd Round . Hopefully a strong away draw in the cup would be good to push our finances over the £1m mark again.

Peljam Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I tend to set my league bonus to high and cup to normal. Works well for me. Some players comment on the added incentive the bonus gives them. They're the ambitous ones though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kccircle Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Just been 2 minutes from sorting out my finances with Chelmsford in the CCC. Home to Sunderland (Premiership) and 1 up at half time. They scored early on in the second half. We went down to ten men on 60 mins yet held on for another 28 minutes until they scored a twenty yard free kick on 88 minutes to go through to the 5th round. Would have been 50k at the SoL and predicted gate receipts for me of over half a million. Is there any consolation? The game was live on TV and generated 226k to keep the debt collectors at bay for another month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

catfishjack Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 CatfishJack - Chelmsford City - 13/14 League One - Season Review After we came up through the play-offs last year, this season looked set to be a struggle. And from January onwards, it was. Luckily we'd got enough points behind us in the first half of the year, so when we decided to stop bothering the play-off contenders the defence stopped communicating, the strikers couldn't hit a barn-door (or just hit the keeper, repeatedly), and the goal-keeper wore teflon gloves we had enough in hand to keep us up. A brief revival over the last few games placed us 12th in the final table. Progress Transfers A couple of conference standard players left, a promising left-winger and and centre-back joined before the season started. Some of the squad are starting to look unsettled, or are not shaping up to league one football too well, so there'll be changes over the summer of '14. Lewis Smith had less consistent form, but still hit 30 goals in 37 appearances, and club captain Scott Wagstaff added another 20, with a similar number of assists. Both are attracting attention. Finances are good, thanks to decent cup draws (again), and a run in the JP Trophy, where after defeating L1 champions QPR in the southern final, L2 Blackpool put their team bus in front of the goal and held us 0-0 before besting us on penalties. Final Position - 12th in League One. Awards - nothing except the usual monthly stuff, although we now hold the record for highest scoring league one game! We lost!

Scoham Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 After 10 league games we're 13th, lost the first three games but then changed to a 4-4-1-1 formation, made a few tweaks and we're doing alright. Got a young team, a lot of 19 year olds, but they're decent players for this level so it doesn't seem to be a problem at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xx2olegendxx Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Just the challenge I have been looking for. Meet the new manager of Tiverton Town Boy Keane In addition to the rules set out in the challenge I will be adding more of my own to make it that little bit harder. 1. All players and staff for my club MUST be british, or have (not be considering) british citezenship. 2. No players shall play for my team born within a 10 mile radius of Liverpool. 3. No players can be signed who have played for a team within a 10 mile radius of liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xx2olegendxx Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 After a hectic summer which saw over 100 players offered trials with Tiverton Town, the final squad has been decided. With an average age of 18 and with the players brought in on loan I have a team capable of taking the Tivvy on the first few steps towards the football league proper. Hopefully a few players in there capable of making it at higher levels. Some free flowing attacking football saw Tivvy score 19 goals in 6 pre season games, the only downside being the 16 conceded.

dafuge Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Season 2018/19 Review - Prescot Cables in the Premier League After my mid table finish last season, I was just happy to try and stay in the league again. League Table League Positions Graph Had a great season and surprisingly managed to qualify for European competition. If I can avoid the odd couple of runs of defeats I think I could push towards the Champions League spots. Squad Transfers Still relying on a lot of players I bought while in the lower leagues which is nice, but I think I'm going to have to strengthen the squad to attempt to qualify for the Champions League. Managed to get rid of another Brazilian without a work permit for a decent fee which was good, I've also got a few youngsters set to join in July. Star Player Back again. Signed as an unattached free transfer while I was in the BSP, he has gone on to score 249 goals in 348 league games.
