marcftm Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I have never played with Peterbrough and in all honesty, I probably never will.

hogan23 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 In summer 2011 with posh and finished 14th in the championship last term, which wasnt too bad as its the first season in the championship..the biggest transfers in and out: - Sold boyd for 1.2 mill(was one of the better performers but was thinking of the cash) bought a defender called miral(surname cant remember)bought for 50k sold for 2.5mil)another immence player but again cash was good but chairman accepted bid anyway.. I got mifsud(striker)for free and he dominated league 1 but leicster came in with a 1.5mil bid which i took.. Ive had a couple of romanian youths thats ive made nice profits on.. oh i got mellor on a free but he didnt perform so sold for 2mill half a season later.. The biggest transfer ive paid is 1.2 for spurr the defender and 1.5mil for a right midfielder.. My balance is about 9mil, but the turn of the season hasnt happened so expecting a bit of tv revenue..erm wage budget is about 95k.. i sold all the season tickets in the championship so am hoping for an extension.. My current squad includes st ledger and luke steele..hope fully get a good trandfer budget over the summer and bring in some new blood. with 2 or 3 new pacey strikers and strong and quick defenders..oh and a new GK wudnt go a miss..joe hart and steele arent bad but cant probably find better..overall im loving the posh experience. starting with pittance and spending sod all on players, well it was more like relying on loaning players..

I paid 170k for him. His wages are twice what my other key players are on and he's only 18... but he's on a four year contract so I have a feeling it will pay off. I'm in second place after 8 games. I'm having problems with the half time team talks. I usually lead at half time, but every time I tell my players not to let their performances drop, I concede at least two goals in the second half. Same happens if I say I'm pleased. But being "angry" or "disappointed" when you're leading 1-0 or 2-0 seems a bit daft. Any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eiler Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Oh and I just checked out Chambers. He's at Leicester - my parent club! - and is already worth £1.1m. They've loaned me Matty Fryatt who also looks very promising, but at the moment I prefer my own two strikers, Doudin and Musasa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eiler Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 OK, the strangest thing just happened. I went back to my game and Leicester almost immediately offered me Chambers on loan. I accepted and terminated Matty Fryatt's loan since the fans didn't like him. And guess what, Chambers scored just 14 minutes after coming on in his debut against Brentford.

hogan23 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 excellent, chambers will do the business, fryatt is good as well, but i think uve got the best striker..erm team talks, the easiest thing and i wud say probably the most effective is let the ass man do team talks, he occasionly does get it wrong but 9/10 his right..sounds like you have a good squad going on mate, nice one..try and raid man u reserves, f campbell, wallbeck etc.. Won the prem on the last day of the season and won the fa cup by defeating arsenal which i cant believe..so in the champions cup and charity shield next season..got offered the man u job, like im going to go to them..POSH THE PREM CHAMPS, wonder if it will ever happen in real life..

Eiler Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 The Posh as prem champions... Hmm. I think it'll be a while. But who knows what'll happen in 2016. But impressive work none the less. I struggle to see how I can turn this leaky defence into anything succesful, but it's all about building for the future I guess. I really need a left back on loan. Grounds' deal ends now and I don't think I'll renew it. He hasn't exactly pulled up any trees. And Tom Willimas doesn't fill me with confidence. Any suggestions? I've been looking through the reserve- and u18 squads of the top 4 clubs but haven't really found anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankee_ram Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Just finished season Two at the Posh and had a rough second half of season. Finished in 13th position which made the board happy to say the least. Losing my top stiker Grame Dorrans for 3 months is what did me in. Looking forward to season Three and seeing if I can get out of League One or at least get a top 10 finish. A transfer kitty would also be nice this time around.

Eiler Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I've just finished my first season with Peterborough and I'm proud to say that it was a successful one. I finished top of League 2 with an 18 point margin and won the Johnstone's Paint Trophy by beating Leeds 2-1 in the final. I only lost one home game all season which I was delighted with. Away from home I struggled to gain any kind of consistency so that's where I really need to work if I want to survive in League 1 next season. My best players were two free transfers, Seyfo Soley (av.r. 7.49) and Emil Salomonsson (av.r. 7.32) who tore the league apart. Soley scored 27 goals from central midfield and Salomonsson got 29 assists playing as an AMCr. Salomonsson is still only 19 and is a real gem. Hopefully I can hold on to him despite all the interest being shown in him from bigger clubs. I signed Sashi Chalwe in january and he's impressed in the centre of defence averaging at 7.29. Another pleasant surprise was Piotr Czaplinski, a 17-year-old keeper who I signed for 7k as a back up for Lomaia. But after Lomaia had a dodgy start to the season I gave Czaplinski a run in the first team and he made the position his own and was my first choice keeper for the second half of the season. He's improving rapidly and kept a stunning 11 clean sheets. A real gem! Here are some screen shots from my season: League table: Squad: (sorted by Av.R.)

Cristea is starting to attract attention from ccc teams and from spain Ferreira is wanted by birmingham Sburlea asked to leave at the end of last season only to retract it 2 weeks later - lots of interest in this guy My goal this season is to just stay up, think I can manage it but will definitely need a new left back as I expect bockhorni to go and will need cover when Cristea is on international duty and such.

Eiler Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 After some encouraging pre-season friendlies (including a 5-0 win against Leicester and a 4-0 win against Southend, both from the Championship) I'm ready to start my first season in League 1 after promotion. I think I've done fairly well in the transfer market, getting rid of virtually the entire reserve team to free up money on the wage budget and brining in lots of potential and a few improvements to the starting 11. IN: Aquino - 1M Fábio Faria - 220k Calin Cristea - 35k Eros Corradini - 9k Damien Le Tallec - Free Fabio Ferreira - Free Steve McGrath - Free Stephen Darby - Loan Sam Hutchinson - Loan Michael Woods - Loan Fábio - Loan The only setback has been that I tried to renew Kabamba Musasa's contract but his work permit was turned down. He was my first choice striker in my first season but now it looks like he will now be able to leave on a free in 11 months and there's nothing I can do about it.

Eiler Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I'm ready to start my third season in charge of the Posh. After two consecutive promotions, I'm ready to take on the Championship. Last season was a huge success for my team. We won the Jonhstone's Paint Trophy for the second year running and won League 1 with six games remaining of the season. We also made it to the fifth round of the FA Cup where we lost 3-1 to Arsenal at their place, which I thought was a good result. I was a little disappointed to find that my reputation doesn't seem to have gone up with the promotion to the Championship. I've really struggled to bring in improvements to the team and even players who were interested when I was in League 1 no longer have any intentions of joining me. Very frustrating. I've sold a couple of key players for huge money (compared to what I got for them) and trimmed the wage bill. I also lost Kabamba Musasa on a free because he couldn't get a work permit for his contract extension. These are my transfers: IN: Tales - 3.6M (very, very promising Brazilian AMC) Sabrin Sburlea - Free Jose Baxter - Loan Miki Roqué - Loan Tamas Kadar - Loan Stephen Darby - Loan OUT: Sashi Chalwe - 1M (bought him for 4k!!) Muhamed Demiri - 120k (bought him for 3k) Mark Tyler - 4k Kabamba Musasa - Free Danny Blanchett - Free + a bunch of youngsters were released So as you can see, I haven't made that many improvements to the team. I simply haven't been able to attract players who were better than what I already have, so I've decided to save the money for january and give the players who won League 1 in spectacular fashion a crack at the Championship. Boyd and Czaplinski are both after moves to bigger clubs, but no one has come in for them yet. I've spent a good amount of money giving my training regime a huge overhaul. I now have 5-6 star training in most categories, which should help improve the potential I have in the squad. TEAM: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
